Will a tall girl marry a short guy?

[Surya1997]

If a girl is 5'6" and a boy 5'2", they like each other but will that go up to marriage? Will their parents accept that?

Sure it depends on the woman. The women who are like “Wahhh I’m so tall I wanna marry a man taller then me” but then at the same time complains about how men don’t wanna date a taller woman. Oh well….

But there are some amazing women who are taller. Women taller then me flirt with me and I’ve seen people get together.

Everyone has preferences including yourself, if someone isn’t into you romantically it does not mean they judge you as a human being, quite frankly people who do aren’t worth your time anyways be glad they don’t want you, and find someone who genuinely likes you. What is important is love

Holy crap what is wrong with people? I swear I'm not trying to be mean. If you're not from a Western country I apologize if this is a genuine concern for you in a very culturally different situation than by me. This seems like such a ridiculous question to ask based in how you worded it.

Please think of the statistical side of your question.

You're asking if a tall girl will marry a short guy? That's your first question. The answer is yes. Will all tall girls marry a short guy no... who cares why? It might just be their preference to which why waste your time when there are definitely tall girls that will.

Your second question below is too general to give a absolute answer. Maybe? I mean there are billions of women with billions of parents. It is plausible for some percentage of parents anywhere in the world with different customs that might object.

Give me one single good reason why a tall person cannot marry a shorter person?

If that person states that it is because of the difference in size, then you know that this person is not the right one and that size is just an excuse. That person would fit the description of being selfish, have no self-esteem and is most probably a toxic person to start with.

But then, why would you marry in the first place? Marriage is a construct established by religion and a societal concept that serves no purpose anymore in today's society.

I am quite sure that there must be millions of couples worldwide where a tall girl married a short guy and that they have not more problems than those couples where the setting is just the opposite.

[Vegasrunner]

@sueshe In the US that number is less than 4% so it's definitely not millions.

[SueShe]

@Vegasrunner Given that there are about 8 billion people living on this planet and assuming again that 4 billion of them are adults, while 1/4 of them are married and finally, taking your 4% as a median value, that would still give 40 million couples that are in that situation.

Fortunately for the planet, it is not (yet) under the yoke of the US.

[Vegasrunner]

@sueshe That was 4% in America, that number decreases as you extrapolate Also your original math is wrong, you would have to take 4% of all couples and that number isn't 8 billion. Hope this helps.

[SueShe]

@Vegasrunner I never stated that 8 billion people were married. I stated that the entire world population is about 8 billion.

[Vegasrunner]

@sueshe Hence the flaw in your math. You would have to cut that number significantly to account for.
- Under age kids
- Widow and Widowers
- Singles
- From that number you the overall percentage drops even more as the US has the highest ratio, so think closer to about 2% of a much smaller baseline number. It may be in million tops but very unlikely to be multi millions.

[SueShe]

@Vegasrunner I am not going to argue with you. You keep your data and I keep mine and everybody lives happily ever after.

[Vegasrunner]

@sueshe I don't think your arguing at all. How can you argue with math?

[TheRealPepperPotts]

Oh, yes. I know multiple couples where that is the case and they are very happy. And if the parents are not going to accept the relationship because of a height difference there is probably a deeper issue going on. That seems like a superficial reason to interfere.

I don't know it could happen. Know a girl that is 5’10 and her husband is 5’6. A few other people where the girl is 1-2 inches taller. Sometimes it be that way

[Surya1997]

Thanks for your response 😊

[handsomelad70]

As my late sister's Georgia-born boyfriend once observed,"It just bees that way."

[Avicenna]

LOL, I met a guy last year who showed us pics of him (5'5) and his 6-foot-tall wife.

[noemiii]

Firstly, 5’6” is not a tall woman, lol. That is in the average height realm for a woman. I’m tall, 5’9”.
Second, I’m sure it could happen, but I don’t see a lot of tall girl short guy couples unless it’s by an inch or two. If they are in love, of course it could happen, but women don’t actively look for men that significantly shorter than them. And I don’t think they have to, since most men aren’t that short.

[Tuntus]

I'm a 5'6 guy, would my height be a issue for woman who are same height as me or 5'7-5'8 range? Given that it's a small diff?

[noemiii]

@Tuntus It can’t be generalized. Some women like men shorter than them, some don’t. Same height, I don’t think you’ll have a big issue. Taller than that, maybe. I wouldn’t mind dating a guy 5’6” but that’s the maximum height gap for me, but that doesn’t mean all girls wouldn’t.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

As long as you both love each other, treat each other right, take care, etc. That's all that matters. I've seen a few pictures of short guys with tall women before. No clue how common it is though.

[dustybiker2]

Are you marrying the parents or the person? Chances are they just want their child safe and happy. Tick those boxes and you accomplish a lot more than height ever will.

[Sevenpointfive]

that's the norm these days. the guys with fat wallets and short inseams seem to get the ladies

[12karen]

I wouldn't marry a guy shorter than me tbh, I'm already short, shorter than me, I wouldn't like.

But that doesn't mean a tall girl wouldn't marry a short guy

[CrabCakes11]

It’s not that big of a deal. In real life people don’t care about height

[Morgan_L]

I’m a 5’11 F and I have dated guys that were 3 inches shorter. I thought it was hot being bigger. But I think it bothered him he was a really great guy

[handsomelad70]

LOTS of tall girls marry short boys. It's personal choice.(It's us short boys though, who are often rejected for the taller lads.)

[Kayi_Tribe]

Height difference may not be a significant factor for many people, and other elements in the relationship (love, understanding, compatibility, common interests, etc.) may play a larger role.

[thisAppIsGarbage]

I'm a shirt guy and married a short girl but I dated a few tall girls. I know a couple girls married to short guys. Height only matters to the type of girls you don't want to marry anyway. Stop worrying so much.

[Nikki1989]

Are you seriously talking about 4 inches?

WTF?

[LiamJHayden]

Marriage? If they both want it.

Parents accept it? Unless they are bigots, yes.

[Tuntus]

The parents needing to accept is an important requirement in India (makes sense since the asker is Indian). And yes, the standards of acceptance is pretty darn high for Indian parents. The dude has to be super rich, tall, fair complexion (yep) and not to mention the entire caste thingy. I wonder if it is sorta similar in the west as well?

[docster]

Tom Cruise did it several times.

[strateguy632]

very unlikely i would bet never ever.

[Ms_Facesitter]

I would.

It depends on the female
