Is there any relation between height/size and logical thinking, outside of testosterone? perhaps taller and imposing men are less fearful of speaking?

it doesn't have to be the case 100% of the time and it doesn't have to be based on what is considered tall globally. a 5'8 guy is tall in Guatemala. so I'm not asking your opinion on whether or not guys under 6' are illogical. I'm asking if there is a higher degree of logic in tall men in your experience. I do know women rate tall men are more intelligent than average even though IQ is the same. which is another thing to clarify, someone who is relatively stupid can actually be more logically oriented than someone who is highly emotional and smart. Einstein famously believed playing violin cultivated a healthy balance of emotionality and logic

I just realized my question was cut off...
perhaps taller and imposing men are less fearful of speaking their mind, and hence can utilize a higher degree of logic?

Being fearful of speaking would not inhibit your IQ. It would just inhibit your ability to communicate your ideas effectively to groups of people. There have been some studies that examine the correlation between height and intelligence, but I haven't seen anything overwhelmingly convincing on the matter. That said, I am 6'3" and have an IQ of 158 and my brothers are 6'4" and 6'5" and have IQs of 132, and 130 respectively. We are all above average height and IQ, but that is just anecdotal evidence. The sample size is far to low and that is often the case with many studies... I'm the shortest of the three, but the only one with a genius level IQ. The brother with an IQ of 130 is the most extroverted and very blunt. The brother with 132 IQ is the most introverted, has anxiety, and seems to want to play politics/social manipulate more in conversations. I'm an ambivert and have no issue speaking before large crowds or being a hermit. Either way works for me. I'm a blunt person and say what I want when I want.

I've worked with all kinds of guys. I've met tall ones that are dumb, and short ones that are dumb, I knew a tall guy who was so scared to speak that he just mumbled to himself. He was a good looking guy that couldn't get a girlfriend for a long time because he was unable to speak to people.

I think women rating tall guys as smarter is more likely showing a bias in women to think tall guys are smarter, rather than a fact that tall guys really are smarter. Them having the same iq as short guys would support this answer. I wonder if men would tend to think tall women are smarter than short women as well?

It’s not about logic, it’s confidence. That’s it. When you meet conventional beauty standards and you’re aware of it, you’re more confident.
