I have done you and me a service. And I digged into the scientific results on (see links at bottom, study 1 and 2):
What matters most/more in attractiveness for men?
Face, or Body. And how much does it matter?
Face
Study 1.
Face Is most important. To quote: "face attractiveness was a significant stronger predictor of overall attractiveness"
How much does face matter?
About 76% of a man TOTAL attractiveness is decided by face + body. (pretty brutal Blackpill by the way)
About 52% is face.
About 24% is body.
The other 24%, is I guess stuff like voice, status, wealth, personality traits,extraversion, social skills, and so on.
So. Face matters 2 times as much as body, for a man his attractiveness!
Body
So, body matters 24% of attractiveness.
What matters most. Strength or Height?
Quotes from study 2:
"Ratings of strength are a robust and much larger predictor of attractiveness than either height or weight."
"Height is attractive even independent of making a man look strong."
They say, in study:
80% of Body attractiveness = strength + height.
And 70% of Body attractiveness = strength.
And 10% of Body attractiveness = height.
I disagree with this a bit. Because. Strength does have a height correlation also, which they likely failed to calculate. Taller = more muscle mass (potential) = more strength.
So I guestimate bodily attractiveness is more like:
* 40% strength;
* 40% height.
The thing is. A 6'2 man, will with some training; be stronger then a man that's like 5'6 an trains alot. So in that sense, height runs over to strength. But still, a tall 6'2 dude that looks weak, might still be less phyciscally attractive looking as a strong looking 5'8 dude.

You should not read popular articles about scientific studies much. Or be very very carefull.
I give you 1 example, how popular media almost always, mis quotes studies.
Title and text in popular media: "Men’s upper body strength accounts for 70 per cent of attractiveness to women"
WRONG!! That study said: that upper body strength accounts for 70% of BODILY attractiness (AKA, face excluded!!). So the study didn't say at all, that upper body strength accounts for 70% of a man his TOTAL attractiveness.

The links to the actual studies. Only good or high iq people can probably read and understand it decently:
