What do you think when you see a couple walking together and the woman is much taller than her man??
I am asking because i always seem to feel like the man when i am taller than my bf and it kind of makes me not want to be with the guy for this reason. Am i crazy???

I dont think it really matters who is taller as long as you like the person you are with.

If they are comfortable with each other and they seem happy, then I am happy for them. Height is not an issue. I too like a guy tall, one that is climbable lol, however, if he is smart, can be funny, hopefully handy, smells good most of the time then I could care less how tall he is. You do what is good for you, however, beware, the heart does not see how tall someone is.

I guess that this should be true but in my case i always tend to feel uneasy. So i guess that just proves that our love at the time wasn't strong enough to look past this!

I know a couple who are extremely happy and have been married for years. They have a son who is about 12. She is a good head and shoulders taller then he.
We often think they look odd together, but if they are aware of it, as I would think they must be, they have evidently come to terms with it, because it doesn't bother them at all.

Wow...That is awesome!!!! I guess that opposites do in fact attract and that is proof of this right there. I am very happy for your friends though and i for one am glad that they are comfortable with this and that the height difference does not bug them or let in the way of anything in their relationship!! God Bless!!!

I guess I don't really care either way. I tend not to notice things like that at all.
If I see a couple walking together, the first things that occur to me are whether they look comfortable with each other, whether they look happy. Maybe I just don't live enough in the physical to understand this.
I've dated guys shorter than me, and been perfectly okay with it. My husband is just a touch taller than me, but I didn't know that when we were talking online and decided to be together.

I'm with you. And I don't feel crazy just uncomfortable. My first husband was 6'4" and I'm 5'81/2". It was great. I could wear any shoes I wanted and I looked great in stilettos with my very long legs.
My second husband was 5'7" and I always felt uncomfortable with him. If we were in town walking down the street sometimes I would try to walk ahead of him so people would not think we were together. I was crazy to marry this guy (long story). I just like to be able to rest my head up against the top of the guys chest near the shoulder and feel his arms wrapped around me. I like to feel little and that I'm loved, cared for and protected. I love looking up to my man and reaching up to kiss him.
If I see a couple who are mismatched in height and size...I feel uncomfortable for them. I know a couple , she is tall and bulky, he is short and quite slender. They get into passionate embraces in public...like at the supermarket, deep kissing and rubbing up against each other as if they are shouting. "We don't care what you think we'll do what we want". I find it embarrassing.

My g/f is a few inches taller than I am.If you are thinking about leaving him because of height,then maybe there is something else wrong with the relationship you have not admitted to yourself yet.

I don't think that it matters, as long as you are happy with each other. If other people don't like it, then it's their problem, not yours. As long as the man and woman both have a good self esteem,it won't bother them. There are more important issues in a relationship than height.
I have never had this problem, because I am only 5ft. 2 inches tall, so I'm shorter than just about everybody that I know!

they say when the girl is taller than the guy, they will become richer when they get married. it is only a saying. it's up to you if you want to believe.

On first impression it's noticeable .. i mean like seeing an older guy with young girl, black girl with a white guy , etc .. these things gets our attention because of the stereotypes and the cultural inheritance about what is "normal" in a man/woman relationship.. a lot of short guys are happily married with taller women but i guess it does causes some emotional problems sometimes.

I know what you mean. I feel like it would be weird in some way if my boyfriend was shorter than me. I don't mind if other womans boyfriends are shorter though. I have two friends whose boyfriends are shorter than them. One of the couples is only a half inch difference. But my other friends, she is 5'11" and he is only 5'4". They do kind of stand out actually. She is built big and is a little heavy. He is thin, and built small. The funniest part is his name is Rocky..lol. But seriously I only think about it if its my boyfriend. I hardly notice in public, and when I do, it doesnt strike me as anything.

I can understand where you are coming from possibly... a girl wants to feel petite, and when a guy is smaller than her, it makes her feel bigger... thats what my girlfriend says anyway.
I am pretty tall, so I don't have that problem! lol :)
More on above point...It is a stereotype that girls need to be petite, the more volumptuous the better!

It is more enjoyable if female is taller than male. Once I met one swidish lady at our 5-star hotel who was taller than me 7 inches. Whe said if male is shorter than female it is very easy to kiss on boob during climax and more enjoyable.

maybe if i see a couple with the girl taller than the man, i will notice the height difference and probably wonder why the gal chose that guy. but there is nothing wrong with a man smaller than you if you love the man. love will make you accept how he is, what he is.
personal choice, i would love to marry a guy taller than i am so i will have tall children.

I understand and no you not crazy...I honestly prefer taller men. I'm not a tall female I'm only 5'5. But, when I wear heels, I want him to still be taller than I.
I went on a date once with a guy. I wore 3 inch heels and I was taller, I think it's a self conscience thing. I felt weird...lol...
You are not crazy though, it's sorta how society sees it, the man should be taller than women...

I happen to see that kind, my reaction at first was that guy was so damn lucky and to the girl, what the hell did she liked with that guy. Misjudge of what I see maybe there is something magic going on. What do you think?
