Women’s self-perceived attractiveness amplifies preferences for taller men
Women rated taller men with larger shoulder-to-hip ratios as more attractive, masculine, dominant, and capable in fights. Self-perceived attractiveness influenced these preferences.

Previous research has suggested that physical traits like height and body masculinity are important indicators of a man’s genetic quality
Brutal blackpill right from the start basically calling all manlets and framelets genetic trash
For their study, the researchers recruited 247 self-identified heterosexual women with an average age of 24.46 years from a predominantly Hispanic serving institution. The participants were shown a series of images depicting men with varying heights and SHRs. The heights ranged from 160 cm to 190 cm, and the SHRs were categorized as small (1.1), intermediate (1.2), and large (1.3). Each male image was positioned next to a 172 cm tall female figure, anchoring the height comparison.
They purposefully chose a 5'8 roastie just to mog the manlets
Women rated men as more attractive, masculine, dominant, and higher in fighting ability as the men’s height and SHR increased. The interaction between height and SHR was particularly noteworthy; taller men with larger SHRs received the highest ratings across all categories.

Contrary to the researchers’ expectations, ecological priming (conditions simulating resource scarcity, violence, or safety) did not significantly alter women’s ratings of men’s physical traits. This was surprising given that previous research suggested environmental factors could influence mate preferences, potentially prioritizing traits that signal the ability to provide resources or protection in harsh conditions. The study’s findings imply that preferences for height and SHR may be robust and consistent across different ecological scenarios.
“It was predicted that ecological harshness cues would amplify women’s perceptions of men, but we did not see those effects,” Garza told PsyPost. “Although women did perceive our manipulation as being effective, it did not affect the way they rated men. This may suggest that taller men with larger shoulder-to-hip ratios are preferred across all contexts due to their perceptions of being highly attractive and formidable, which are traits that some women prefer in men.”
Translation: women are never sexually attracted to betabuxxers even if they need them for "resources"
However, women who rated themselves as more attractive tended to give higher ratings to taller men. This suggests that women with higher self-esteem or confidence in their attractiveness set higher standards for their potential partners, particularly valuing height.
This is how simps are ruining the dating market for everyone: even ugly roasties demand 6'4 Chad because they have simps blowing smoke up their asses. In a based society they'd be laughed at and ostracized just as we are
