The sexy and formidable male body: Study found with improvements in living conditions, men’s gains in height and weight are more than double those of women’s, increasing sexual size dimorphism, which confers on them advantages related to female choice and during physical competition with other men.

The sexy and formidable male body: men’s height and weight are condition-dependent, sexually selected traits | Biology Letters
On average men are taller and more muscular than women, which confers on them advantages
related to female choice and during physical competition with other men. Sexual size
dimorphisms such as these come with vulnerabilities due to higher maintenance and…

Because men and women share most genes, selection that favors a trait in one sex often pulls the other along (even if fitness costly). Shared traits across sexes can reflect selection in one sex and a correlated response in the other; e.g., human paternal care may reflect selection on maternal care. 👨👩👧👦🔬✨
