Because for a long, long time, society considered a man’s primary worth to be what he could accomplish physically (chopping wood, hauling hay, etc.), and short men were seen as physically inferior. Tall men were also seen as better protectors of the family due to their size. Thank goodness that’s not always true. Unfortunately, even today the attitude of ‘tall = masculine’ prevails.

Notice I didn’t say ‘masculine = tall’ – tall women are also seen as ‘manlier’ than their petite counterparts, but in our case it’s not necessarily a good thing. As a woman who is 5’11”, I have often dated shorter guys (5’2″- 5’7″) who told me that if we ever ended up in a situation where our personal safety was threatened, he would be depending on me to protect him. So obviously this whole concept translates to both genders.
