what if muscle and height were reversed

[MyDreamIsToBe183CM]

like instead of you being able to train your muscles to grow bigger

you now can train your bones to grow longer (but not your muscles its purely genetic now)


how would lookism change?

average shortcel fantasy

most ppl would probably height max to 8 feet

others would take it way too far and keep going to 20ft+

But if their muscle doesn’t grow proportionately with height their body will malfunction

I think it would actually make muscle more attractive to women because it would be an inherent characteristic that would be transferable to offspring while height would not.

I dont think so, ppl would be as lazy as they already are.
Probably value of being taller would drop idk

Yes it is man, I saw it on TikTok and it works

i agree

How fast you grow height + the maximum height you can grow to are transferable traits that’ll be attractive for women. They’ll both be very competitive as there’s an objective number, and large variance (given training increases it)
It’s hard to quantify how good physiques are in comparison, for today’s world - no accurate way to rank
So I think there will still be appeal to this, but this will be very male gaze cuz it’s driven by competitiveness

The idea of exclusivity may still be the base for appeal in this hypothetical world too, so muscle mass can still be preferred
That is, if it’s sufficiently distinguishable.. small objective difference between both extremes for muscle mass in comparison to between both extremes of height, will make the desire for muscle mass obsolete, as dimensions favour height

All of this assuming there’s no malfunction as @True truecel said

Also idea of dominance by normies today is through height. A 7ft guy even if skinny is seen as capable of beating up a 6’3 guy of similar weight
I think height will matter more towards who is perceived as dominant
Part of it being psychological, guys will submit themselves to a guy taller

I think overall height takes the cake, unless the difference between natural muscle mass between both extremes (1st and 99th percentile) is a lot, relative to difference between height

Height low-mid diff

amazing simplification for my low attention span I understood everything
