According to experts, men are becoming more appealing due to evolution.
A new paper in the Biology Letters claims the population is becoming more "s— and formidable," as they are becoming taller and more physically desirable mates.

In many species, it's common for males to be larger than females.
"With cross-national and cross-generational improvements in living conditions, where environmental stressors recede, men's gains in height and weight are more than double those of women's, increasing s—– size dimorphism," the researchers wrote in the paper.
As society changes, the public will start to notice shifts in their physique.
"Consequently, this is why men assess the formidability of potential opponents using physical cues, such as upper body strength, and women find taller, muscular men with a relatively large overall body mass (but not obese) particularly attractive," the researchers shared.
"Our cross-national analyses suggest that as the social and ecological conditions of nations improve, including reductions in overall disease burden, people's height and weight increase, but more than twice as much in men as in women resulting in greater [sexual size dimorphism]," they continued.
While the size of guys differs from previous generations, women continue to be tinier than them.
"Based on our main finding of [s—– size dimorphism] being greater in more favorable environments, it is clear that the development and maintenance of gross morphology is more sensitive to living conditions in men than in women, at least in terms of height and weight," the paper noted.
