I think it has to do with the same way men picked women with genitalia on their front for a more intimate mating session over women who had to take it doggy style.
Most of my readings on the subject and the two anthropology classes I had pretty much said we are getting taller because of the abundance of more nutritional foods. Not because of selective breeding, or mutations.

A general preference towards tall men just isn't as effective in producing a taller population when just about everyone gets to mate. In other species where you have to be the alpha, or very quick to not get caught, to mate, then yes it would be more selective for these traits, but we are not like that. Oddly enough with the so called alpha men taking all the so called alpha women, you would think we would be more stratified in nature, with superior genetic lines and inferior, but sometimes the best and brightest come from the dregs, and our elite give birth to subpar human beings.
