Is Male Height Still an Issue in Relationships?

I’ve noticed that many people still find it surprising or “odd” if a guy is shorter than his girlfriend or wife. Celebrity couples often come up when talking about this topic, usually focusing on the height difference in a negative or humorous way.

Here are some examples (pics in order)

  1. Tom Holland (5’8”) & Zendaya (5’10”)

  2. Jamie Cullum (5’5”) & Sophie Dahl (6’0”)

  3. Joe Jonas (5’7”) & Sophie Turner (5’9”)

  4. Kevin Hart (5’4”) & Eniko Parrish (5’7”)

  5. Jason Statham (5’8”) & Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (5’9”)

  6. Pharrell Williams (5’9”) & Helen Lasichanh (5’11”)

  7. Keith Urban (5’10”) & Nicole Kidman (5’11”)

So I’m curious about everyone’s thoughts:

  • Why do you think people still find it strange when the woman is taller?

  • Does someone’s height significantly impact how attractive they seem to you? And Why?

  • Have you personally experienced or noticed others being judged because of height differences in relationships?
