Just look at the last 8 president 6 feet kr over. Trump is 6'2, Obama 6'1, Bush Jr 6 ft, Bill Clinton 6'2, Bush Sr was 6'2, Regan was 6'1, Ford was 6 ft. That is not a coincidence. The US president is the LEADER of the free world so people will naturally go with the tall man to run the US.

Last US president under 6 ft was Jimmy Carter at 5'10. Last short US president was Harry Truman at 5'8

Obama 6'1,

There's also some evidence indicating FWHR (facial width to height ratio, proposed to be a measure of facial dominance and formidability) is similarly correlated with corperate success. Monkeys in suits.

I guarantee this is only for men that are proportionally tall as well.

Men of average height but have that same facial structure are probably accused of having a Napoleon complex etc.

Yes, it's an interplay of different factors. A good example is Donald Trump, tall, good looking, (when he was young) high FWHR, dark triad personality etc.

fWHR evidence isn't robust. I'm still waiting on that guy who said he had a systematic meta coming on fWHR and test.

Plus they are mostly Boomers. I bet if you compare their height to the average Boomer, instead of the population (which contains taller GenX and Millenials) the difference is even greater

height and IQ are correlated it's not all dominance perception

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
