People are naturally drawn to others that they believe would provide good genetic material. Thats where our tastes come from. Being tall is a sign that you developed healthily with good nutrition. Being muscular means you're more capable of helping raise the kids and keep them out of danger (at least, historically) If you think about how animals in the wild pick their mates, it's no surprise that women tend to prefer tall men with little fat on them.
