YES WE DO!!!  I think it's the triangular shape from shoulder to hip.

I agree completely.  Males are necessary parents for human offspring.
They are good for providing, protecting, and nurturing females during
pregancy and nursing years and for teaching offspring when they are
older.  Human males are wonderful creatures, much gentler than
previously given credit for, and lately, much underappreciated.  

Women are often thought heartless for preferring good providers, but
it's just a survival instinct, same as men preferring a woman with a
"healthy" shape.  Nothing wrong with it.

That does make sense, as humans survive on our smarts.  Certainly not on
our size, fierceness, or natural fighting capability. :) (We're good at
running away, I understand.  Good thing for tall trees and opposable
thumbs, too!)
