Tallness is valuable from a military and aesthetic perspective. Most
females are more drawn to tall ("dark and handsome" too) males than they are
to shorter males. To them it probably just looks better. But
evolutionarily speaking a tall man would probably have been a better
defender of hearth and home than a short guy. Millions of years of
evolutionary training is hard to ignore, even when the lessons it teaches
have been largely rendered irrelenant.
