Armor looks best on them. Male human is the default in WoW when it comes to gear. No distortion or odd scaling.
Did somebody say steak?
Hey donāt start drooling just yet. Did you bring the charcoal?
Canāt we just use sticks? Do we even need to cook it? 
For me, its that out of all the different races that can be Paladins I think they have the best animations (spell casting and weapon swing).
If wow had the options which allowed me to customise my character not only in appearance but weapon swing animation and spell casting to another races then I would definitely be a Horde Paladin like all my other characters.
Probably a weird reason for most but Iām OCD.

There have been so many threads created over the years for this, should maybe look those up but I will bite.
1.They look good, nearly every transmog set looks good on them as they seem to be designed around Humans, and with the new changes, they have some nice options. The mount size is also great so thatās a bonus, I know Male Orcs look super silly riding nearly everything as the mounts are too small for them haha.

Lore, I like the lore behind the Human Kingdoms. While I loved the Horde back when they were the weak underdog faction and more tribal societies I donāt get that feeling anymore. I love being a Human fighting monster races nearly twice my size and needing to overcome the difference. That and I donāt really care too much for being evil for no reason like Horde have been for a while now, looks like that will change though.

The Racial is one of the reasons I chose Human in the past for PvP reasons, less so now as I prefer having a normal trinket on a 2min cd over the Human Racial that has a 3 min CD that only removes stuns unless Iām playing a warrior or something that can get out of CC with class skills.
The whole
Is such a silly argument and makes no sense when we fling fireballs around and are written to be far more interesting than nearly every other race in the game.
'm not going to choose something that looks far worse like a male space goat (I donāt really like Dwarf Pallyās too, I prefer them with other classes.) when I can look better, have (personal opinion) more interesting lore, Iām the main backbone of my faction AND I get better racials.

I mean, Iāve been out of college for a bit, but irl, Iām pretty sure my ancestors werenāt viking robots cursed by an eldritch abomination to be gooshy.
Also I cannot ride wolves or raise a tiny gryphon or swing a sword the size of my leg with ease.

Humans actually have a pretty neat lore in WoW.

Have you seen those thighs?
Also, the human female combat sounds are hilarious. I love it so much. At least in Classic and the older versions of the game. I guess theyāve nerfed even that in retail. Sigh.

Iām not ripped or tall in real life, so itās as fantastic for me as walking the world as a sapient slab of steak.
Ever since Warcraft 3, Iāve always kind of likened Warcraftās humans as likeā¦the small-minded townspeople in Beauty and the Beast. Or Gaston.
And in a world where the Beast is both your sworn enemy, your steadfast ally and everyone in between, itās kind of fun to play as Gaston.

Letās remember that Humans on Azeroth are not the same critters as Humans of Earth.
The Earth Human is an evolutionary descendant of certain proto-primates, themselves descended from other, less specialized (and in general less successful) mammalian creature, themselves descended from simpler and simpler creatures in a long, complex, and often debated chain of selection via survival adaptation over some few billions of years.
The Azeroth Human is a fairly recent adaptation of a previous metal robot created by giant planet-people that was infected with biology by a pack of Lovecraftian thingies that are trying to make everyone whacko.
Soā¦ not that grounded in boring reality, Iād say.

Some of their loreās interesting. I like the Kul Tiran stuff, and to a lesser extent, Gilneas.
Stormwind, Stromgarde, Lordaeron and Arathi have never really hooked me though.
Honestly in my opinion, does it matterā¦just play what you like. You look lovely, and having fun. I never get these threads.

I like to play as a human and as a warrior. Technically I could pick up a sword and do half the things my character does irl. I still get my fill of fantasy. Iād argue my buff boi dual wielding 2 handers like its nothing is more of a fantasy than a blood elf which is just a human with long ears and glowy eyes.
