If that is your challenge, I cannot answer it as I am a male, but in the reverse I would much rather take a taller female over a shorter female in such a circumstance, assuming all other things are equal. Otherwise, if we are factoring in other variances such as their experience in combat ability or physical capability, it becomes obvious the smaller but more seasoned of the two is very likely to succeed more reliably because they know what must be done. There [i]are[/i] natural correlations with taller humans, regardless of male or female, having greater athletic and physical potential just by body alone, meaning this should create a system where if you repeated this exercise over and over again, they should come out as the superior by number. This is what drives, or at least in part does, the feeling of safety and security in height, [@Dynamo Frokane].
