Couple with noticeable height difference

[Sherlyvalentine]

This might not be very interesting but we are often getting a lot of questions and comments. Happy to answer questions if anyone has any and wants to share.

We are 5’3’’ and 6’8’’.

Try being a couple where the woman is considerably the taller. That appears to cross the line into ‘point and stare’ territory for a considerable minority.

Yep. I'm 4" taller than DH. I'm also fat and he's a normal weight, so I do worry people think of us as Jack Sprat and his wife....

I'm 5 ft 1 and my ex was 6 ft 6. Yes, it's unusual, yes we had a few comments, yes it was annoying, but hey that's life. Not sure it warrants an AMA.

My sister is 5'1" and her husband is 6'6".
It hasn't caused problems over the 30 years they've been married!

I don’t think it’s particularly interesting or unusual either, but people often ask 🤷🏼‍♀️

Do you think theres a patten with very tall men preferring small petite women?

I dont think I have ever seen a tall guy with a tall woman.....

I'm a tall woman with a tall man 😂

I see way more tall men with tall women tbh! I don't think I've seen someone with the height difference OP describes!

I think that’s because there are more shorter women than tall ones.

What on earth do they ask?

If there’s a really huge discrepancy I guess it can look a bit odd, but so what?
Nobody should think it gives them an excuse to publicly say something or make a joke.Do randoms come up to you and say things?

Unless you’re 6ft 8 and your partner is 5ft 3?

I meant more with very tall men liking very short women. Above average height and below average height etc.

Like Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet, she is 5'1 and he is 6'4.

Have you got kids? Thinking birth etc (you did say ama!) only asking cuz I’m 5 3 dh is 6 3. We had two prem babies who were both a good size considering how prem they were, and would have been enormous at term. I’ve always wondered if my petite frame realised and said uh oh better get them out before they get too big!

This is the height between my husband and me, which is a perfect height difference. You can also try yours .

I’m a tall woman with a tall man and I also don’t really see couples with such a height difference as yours OP.

if I’m being honest, I’d feel uncomfortable with this much of a difference. Does he have to bend down to hear you if for instance, your are out in public? I had a friend in school who was much shorter than me and I regularly had to bend down to hear her when we were in noisy spaces.

have you always been attracted to guys that are a lot taller than you?

Realistically pretty much any woman is going to look tiny next to her partner. He is 6ft 8!. A friend of mine was married to a man who is 6ft 6. If you looked at photos of her you would assume that she was really really petite. She wasn’t - she was 5ft 8. But that is still a 10 inch gap and that is a lot.

I'm 5.10 and boyfriends aways 6.2 or taller so I'd say no to this...*even tho I eventually fell for and married a guy also 5.10...

My bro is 6.5 and married a lady who is 6ft

It’s 2 consenting adults but I just find it looks weird/awkward with such a big height difference. I’m 5 foot 1 and have dated tall guys in the past but it always looked and felt silly, like I was a little child. I did see past it if I liked them though. My dh is 5 foot 9 and that’s tall enough for me.

I'm 5ft 10 and my dh is 6ft 1.

Ds is just shy of 6ft 4 and his gf is 5ft 2
