As explained [[Non-Mammal Mammaries|elsewhere]], we primates have certain visual cues we rely on to tell a woman from a man; men are generally taller and more muscular. Women are shorter, more curvaceous and have breasts. This is because we are ''Sexually Dimorphic'' animals.

 

Do also take note that this trope, in spite of its name, is not limited to species with binary sex systems.

 

* We reiterate: See [[Cute Monster Girl]].

* This also ''appears'' to be the case for the plants in ''[[Trigun]]'', with the girls in bulbs with the big strange eyes and all, and the only two guys walking around looking like blond men. But later manga material shows that Vash and Knives really are just mutants (probably throwbacks; the odds that the people who engineered the plants didn't use human DNA are vanishingly small), because some female independents come from space; the twins are just even weirder.

 

 

* [[Green Lantern|The Zamarons and The Guardians of the Universe]]. The [http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/File:Zamarons_01.jpg Zamarons] are the female member of the race, and they look like human women. The [[wikipedia:File:Guardians by Igle.jpg|Guardians]] look like blue midget old men with white hair. They used to be identical, but the two races separated and continued to evolve ([[Lamarck Was Right|without reproducing....]]) into their present form. The Zamarons were later [[retcon]]ned to have always [[wikipedia:File:Zamaron.jpg|been blue skinned, black eyed, hairless and almost noseless]] (think tall, blue, female [[The Greys|Roswell Greys]]). And they are still almost three times the size of the Guardians, so the trope still applies since the two are either the same species or offshoots of the same species, [[Depending on the Writer]].

** Even more confusingly, there are ''also'' female Guardians who look like Guardians. They originally came to be when Kyle Rayner (possessing at the time the godlike powers of Ion) recreated the Guardians years after Hal Jordan (at the time possessed by evil entity Paralax) wiped them all out. Of course in the current series all this is ignored and the guardians are shown in flashbacks to have been always both sexes. Don't ask where that means the Zamorans came from.
