A taller man is much more masculine in the eyes of a woman. This is partially due to natural selection and evolutionary reasons. When men are taller, they look healthier, more muscular, and more dominant. Also, since taller men have to be “looked up to,” the subconscious equates this with being more dependable and important. Shorter men are often seen as slightly more childish and immature.

There's a reason for these stats above. Being taller means that you exclude more authority. Whether you are meeting a woman, having a job interview, or handling an important task, being taller will give you that influence over your peers and superiors.
