If you have a partner/DH, what’s the height difference?

I’m (cautiously) dipping my toe into OLD and as a bit of a titch (5:1), I am definitely attracted to ‘the taller the better’. I did once date someone who was 6:4 which presented a few logistical challenges but overall I loved it.

If you have a DP/DH, what’s your height difference? Does height matter to you?

I'm 5.9 dh is 5.7 clearly doesn't bother us married happily for many years however all the kids have the taller gene like my family so dh will be outnumbered soon lol

DH is a foot taller than me - I’m 5’4 and he’s 6’4. It’s a bit of a pain in the arse at times but mostly it’s not an issue.

There’s 15 inches between my DSis and her DH. When he’s holding her hand it looks like he’s out walking with his child from the back 😂

I'm 5ft4 and DH is 6ft1.

Has come back to bite me as the kids are all tall, dd 5ft8, ds1 6ft2, and ds2 5ft12 still growing.

When we are out I feel like a Shetland pony on an outing with racehorses!

This will be my future. I’m 5’3” and my husband is 6’5”. Kids are already above average height wise at 5 and 2 😆

At least it easier to get them into the cinema and theme park rides and things when they're tall for their age. Of course then you have to go on with them...

DH is very tall (6'5") and I'm average (5'7"). Before meeting him I dated shorter guys, a couple shorter than me, and it was fine.

I love my DH and wouldn't change a thing, his height is the least interesting thing about him.

5ft 1in here and DP is 5ft 11in.

SpaceAngel1999 · 09/09/2026 21:09

Me 5ft 2, hubby 6ft 3

We’re both the same height 5’8. Totally different proportions though - he’s short legs and long body, I’m long legs and short body. He can reach things down much more easily than I can as his arms are longer!

I'm.5'5", DH is 6'2".
