Do you 'match' your DP/DH physically?

Oh the things you ponder on a quiet afternoon when the baby is napping and you should be working!!!

I was wondering if people usually 'match' the looks of their partners ....
For example ... DH and I match quite well I think. We are both slightly over average height (I am 5'7" ... he is just under 6 foot) ... we are of average build ... neither fat nor skinny.

I have friends who match so perfectly they could be related ... one couple make a striking pair, he is 6'4", she is 6' tall, both dark hair, green eyes ... another couple, both on the short side, stocky with blond hair and blue eyes ...

I once went out with a bloke who was 6'4" and although he was gorgeous (to die for actually) and lovely, I never felt right with him ... I had to stand on tip toes to kiss him and felt like a little girl holding his hand walking down the street ... also sex didn't work that well ... Also, because he was so good looking it felt wrong ...
Not that DH and I are ugly you understand we are nice looking I think but not model material .... but we 'fit' together IYSWIM?

So, do you 'match' your DP/DH ... if so, how? If not, how not?

Erm i would say no....

Dp is 6ft 2
I am 5ft 9
Dp has the ost amazing blue sparkling eyes
I have green eyes
Dp is tanned and does not get sunburn (lucky)
I am pale skinned and get sunburn (unlucky)
Dp has brown hair cropped
I have long blonde locks.
Dp is average for a man but has not fat is all muscle.
I am average for my height but still have my ickle baby belly

All in all we are different but we get on like a house on fire

I am 6', dp is 5'8

And we look absolutely nothing like each other.

Have to admit the height difference bothers me, I worry that people are staring, but he couldn't care less.

I guess we do, kind of!
I have dark hair, dark eyes, tan easily & am 6ft 6.
Dh has dark hair (with lots of grey bits), brown eyes, tans quite easily & is 5ft 8!
Our boys both have dark eyes, but ds2 is blonde ATM!

Nope! DH is 6'1" and I am 5'0".

Other than height (oh and eye colour) I guess we are proably matched physically.

Agree with WWW and trophywife - we also have had no height related probelms either!

Ha ha, I have just found this & would like to confirm that I am not some giant woman!
It was a slip of the finger & I am actually 5ft 6!
