The Tall and Short of relationships

While having a conversation with my classmates a few weeks back, I was asked if tall guys prefer short girls as their partners.

That was a question I had ever thought about. Personally, as long as the girl isn't taller than me, I'm fine with it. Well, I just can't imagine standing beside my girlfriend and looking shorter; I would feel inferior!

You could say its an ego trip and I wouldn't disagree. So, it would be suffice to say that I would not go after any girls who are taller than 1.79m (or 1.8m as I always fondly declare, for convenience that is).

I used to think I would only want someone around my height as my other half. But now, I think it's no longer an issue. Both are equally nice, with its fair share of pros and cons. Haha.


How about you?

So a few different opinions from the guys' perspectives that I can see:

(1) One of his response was "I thought usually it was the girls who mind. if she's ok with me being shorter than she is, i'm cool with it." (Anonymous Friend from similar discussion, 2008)

(2) "Personally, as long as the girl isn't taller than me, I'm fine with it." (Lua, 2008).

the third one from my thoughts:
(3) The guy minds because he thinks she minds. (this is similar to (1), but in the opposite direction)

Cs: Sadly, you ARE thinking too far.. Haha. No one in my life currently to prove my stand...

Swee said...

Pat: If the girl doesn't mind, I would mind too.

I think it just doesn't look aesthetically pleasing, or maybe I'm just too traditional.. Haha

since we are quite tall, its quite difficult to find girls taller den us leh.

i personally wun date someone taller. (there arnt many).

we shldnt add height to the list of ALREADY long criteria for a partner.

on another note, would you date someone older den u?

(the girl is older den the guy)

Shaun: I think I wouldn't mind, though I haven't come across any girls who are older (difference of a few months doesn't count), and that I might have an interest in.

I'm not put off by age...
I'm more afraid of heights... literally. Haha
