a girl's height

does it matter if a girl’s height is taller than her husband? i know it should not, but do girls almost always look for men who are taller than them? do really tall girls have problem getting rishtas because of that?
my family is looking at a girl for me but she is too tall, atleast 2 to 3 inches taller than me. and i was wondering if it would like a mismatch.
so my question is to women; would you be considering a man if he was shorter than you? I am of average height at 1.67 meters (which is i think 5’6" or 5’7"). she stands at 5’9". so its not my fault.

Re: a girl's height

Dude you're not short. well tell her not to wear heels, other than that you shouldn't have any problems. Or ask her if she has any problem with average height guys or does she need a freakin' Australopithecus who stands a full 10 feet tall? Seriously you girls what is up with height complex man? I mean back in 14 century people you use to be like 5 feet. I mean Alexander the great was freakin' 5 feet tall and he conquered the world.

Re: a girl’s height

2" inch difference, is that it? :konfused:

I know guys who are 5’ 4" and are married to women who are 6’ tall! I wouldn’t turn down a rishta over something like height… unless it really REALLY bothers you?

Re: a girl's height

If she still likes you than what is the big deal?

Everyone has their own preferences when it comes to height. I'm a shorty, 5'1, but wouldnt even consider a guy under 5'10. That's MY preference, but I have a friend who is 5'6 and she is with a guy 5'5...1 inch shorter than her. So really, it's up to the individual.

It's upto the girl. I have seen such couples before.

Re: a girl's height

Hey,

If the girl had a prob with your height she would have said no. trust me.

and yes, it's slightly harder for taller girls to find rishtay.

Re: a girl's height

Look at this way Tall+Tall=Tall so you'll have over 6f tall kid if its a boy and 5'7 to 5'9 if its a girl. So you'll have taller kids that's a genealogical advantage. If you married a girl 5'1 or 5' and you're 5'7 you'd have smaller kids so its a blessing in a way enjoy you tall kids!

Re: a girl's height

Ive seen plenty of tall girls marry guys shorter than them.

Its really not a big deal............she will just have to find cute shoes that are flat and wear the heels when she is alone.

:)

Re: a girl's height

shouldnt be a problem. if you dont have a problem with it and she doesnt have a problem with it then go for it :)

Re: a girl's height

Not a big deal but if it makes you both uncomfortable maybe you should reconsider. Otherwise, aslong as you two are fine with it, who cares what others think.

Re: a girl's height

its easier said tht these things dunt make a difference n maybe they actually dunt wen compared to other more essential stuff tht a gurl sees in a guy but i knw gurls tht have rejected guys based on heights..i think gurls have this preconceived notion of the basic outline of how their husband is gona be like elder to her,tall dark handsome from good family n its so computerized in their minds tht although they know its not basis of rejecting any guy they cnt overcome the thought of the basic preconceived notions changing...i hope my xplanation wasnt complicated :$ but in short it basically depends on a gurl if she dosnt need assurance from the norms of culture n society & is stronger person she wldnt need an xcuse like height to hide behind and make a basis to reject a guy!

Re: a girl’s height

i think i must be the only superficial one here =( height is a factor which bothers me alot… if i was taller then my fiance i wuda said no to the rishta :hinna: but he’s 4inches taller them me AH… this however is contrary to the belief i had before reading the thread replies that girls want taller guys! but if it doesnt bother the two of u then it shouldnt bother others!

Re: a girl's height

I think sometimes the to-be-in-laws (guy's parents) create a problem with height if the girl is taller than the guy. I know it sounds weird, but I've seen this happen. I guess they think it's a mismatch.. some people equivalate height with stature and if the girl is taller (aka the guy is shorter) it makes the guy look bad.. and what guy's parents would want him to look bad?! I think that's one of the reasons it's harder for tall girls to find rishtas.. the other reason is of course some of us want that tall, dark, and handsome guy from dreamland.

Re: a girl's height

Height matters. The guy must be taller than me (I am a shorty so if he's close to my height, I don't see how he can possibly attract me).

What if he's a billionaire and 5'1?

^ Make him wear 8 inch platforms..

Re: a girl's height

Height matters for me not because I am short but very tall. I am 5 11 and I wanted a tall dulha and thank god for that hehe! :)

Re: a girl's height

height iz somethin which realllyyy bothers me..nd i want my dulha to be taller thn me..

Re: a girl's height

it matters to me, ALOT!!! u mite b thinking philosophically or on a shrt term basis. it mite not affect u but it mite affect the girl cus she'll dread each an every sec when she cannot wear her heels.. i m 5'6 husband is 5'11 and i hate that even when i wear heels i m at the same height as him... i wish he was atleast 6'1 sigh :(

Re: a girl's height

Attraction is not the only factor to consider in a rishta....BUT....it is STILL an important factor nevertheless. And to deny it is foolish in my opinion. At least YOU should feel attracted to your partner regardless of what others think. We all have our preferences for what physical qualities we want in a partner (be it height, weight, etc)...there's nothing wrong with that. Everyone is different. If a girl is okay with marrying a guy who is the same height or shorter.....that's her choice. If a girl prefers someone taller.......she is entitled to her opinion and preference.
