Do women correlate strength with height?

Yes... it is a direct correlation! But not as you chose to put it.
A guy that is taller than I am WILL be bigger and stronger than I am.

Will a man of tall staure (6 feet) be bigger and stronger than a man of medium stature (5'10) and will that man be bigger and stronger with a man of short stature (5'7)?

Will muscle mass or general grittiness of character have any impact in your mind? Or its goes straight by height?

There you go twisting it yet again... I said nothing of the sort!

I said: A guy that is taller than I am WILL be bigger and stronger than I am.
Period.

You are putting WAY too much of your personal insecurities into my simple statement.

No. Not directly.
You are making an assumption if you think that.

I'm curious as to what the actual scientific community think about it. Is there really literature from the sometimes dubious world of evo-psych that supports the idea of height being an inherently attractive trait to females?

There have been studies done illustrating Western womens' clear preference for height:

Women want taller men more than men want shorter women
Study: Women like a large penis, the more ample, the more appealing - UPI.com
Evolutionary Battle of the Sexes Drives Human Height | LiveScience
Short Men in NYC Don
BBC NEWS | Health | Tall men 'top husband stakes'

Just why people feel so strongly is not clear. Dr Viren Swami, a social psychologist at the University of Westminster, says: "There are two main theories. The biological theory is that taller men may have higher status or reproductive success. The second social theory is that it reflects a cultural idea, where tall men are viewed as masculine and tall women violate cultural norms."
So those are the theories.

Regardless, I am not a tall woman and the average height for men in the US is already 4-5 inches taller than me anyway and you can tack on about additional 1-2 inches for German men. It isn't like I have to go way out of my way to even try to find a taller man or it is a really ridiculous exception that the man be taller. The vast majority of men simply are so.

I wouldn't completely write off shorter men. I have given it a shot at least once before. I didn't dump him because he was short. I dumped him because he was a dcik.

Bring short is almost as bad as being bald or a red head
