I’m 5’8 and she’s 5’10. Do you think she would be put off by this? I’m ok with it but not heard back from other side and I know it’s about how you get on but for the girls on this forum would this put you off and you’d wait for a 6 footer to come along?
Re: Potential wife 2 inches taller?
I myself would want someone taller than me at least 2-3 inches. However, I know a couple where the wife is two inches taller than the husband. It's been 16 plus years and three kids and they are doing quite well with each other, MA! Husband is 5' 4" and wife is 5'6".
Re: Potential wife 2 inches taller?
As long as you dont have to climb up the stairs to hug her.. thats fine.
But if you havent heard back from the girl it could be due to any other reason. It might be only you considering this height factor which is nothing.
But yeah, some people are more picky so you never know.
Re: Potential wife 2 inches taller?
summer last year I met a couple where the wife was about 8 inches taller than her desi husband.
was a first for me.
I've seen couples where she is a couple of inches taller but never by that much.
I think it's a very personal thing and each case will be unique.
Yeah, as long as you are comfortable with yourself.

I think desi girls are a bit more traditional and even if she marries you she wouldn't respect you. I know this guy who was dark and wife very fair and she always treated him with disrespect

Wouldn't respect you for something you can't control? You are talking to the wrong girls. Why get involved in the first place?
Re: Potential wife 2 inches taller?
I know at least two couples where the wife is very fair and the husband very dark and they both respect their husbands very much!
Re: Potential wife 2 inches taller?
OP, you met her in person?
Was she wearing heels?
Extra height was never one of my preferences but everyone's different and a lot of girls do prefer a taller guy (just as a lot of guys might prefer slimmer or paler or whatever else)..

I meant physical chemistry. I personally find darker complexion very attractive but then India has very sexist campaigns about gora creams. have come across scores of people where girls were luke warm to negative about physicality of the guy and gave in because of relentless pursuit by the partners and it is very apparent that they respect the men as per eastern culture but relationship seems devoid of the fire and sparkle. I would never go after a girl who would not take me as a first choice. I would never have accepted a compromise. If you have to ask then better move on to someone who will jump with joy.
Re: Potential wife 2 inches taller?
I agree with the above poster that typical people gyrate towards fair complexions but the same typical culture also dictates that it doesn't matter as much for men. Both couples that I have seen, both are happy with each other.
Re: Potential wife 2 inches taller?
I have seen in these threads also that the girl isnot tat into the guy and they are going crazy for her, een OP here is worried that she might reject for his height, if she is not that much into him, why fret over it. The couples you mentioned have to have physical chemistry despite a different complexion. Magic don't happen without attraction. Sometimes opposites attract.
Re: Potential wife 2 inches taller?
I like tall girls 
but no way my wife is going to be taller than me NO WAY
Re: Potential wife 2 inches taller?
I am shorter than my wife and very very very dark in complexion. She never disrespected me.
She needs to speak with me yet, to disrespect me
Re: Potential wife 2 inches taller?
I'm 5ft 8 and my husband is 6ft 3.. I have always wanted a tall husband but that's just my personal preference.
You might not have heard back from her as she might thinking about it still and considering her options, dont stress yourself out.
Re: Potential wife 2 inches taller?

How do you know she disrespected him because of his skin color and not for another reason? Did the wife directly tell you this information OR is this an assumption?

Again, how do you know that the lack of attraction, fire/sparkle is directly because of skin color? Maybe the guy is overweight or too skinny. Maybe he's too hairy. Maybe the wife is not satisfied sexually. Maybe the couple found out after marriage that their personalities are not compatible. Maybe there is tension/arguments between the couple about others stuff which caused them to emotionally drift apart. The list is endless. So I ask again, how can you be so sure that all these relationships lack respect, fire/sparkle because the man's skin color is dark?
Re: Potential wife 2 inches taller?
if u r comfortable with the height difference then its fine otherwise u might feel bad after marriage when u socialize and u have to bear "those looks" of other people..

I know the family history the man pursued the lady quite tenaciously, he should really have moved on after the luke warm reception. I am using complexion as an example. All I m saying that guys should not chase girls for marriage if they are not into you. Regarding complexions pleas spare me the naivety by insinuating that desis do not give undue significance to complexion. I know two sisters and the fairer girl with colored eyes gets 2 rishtas a week and not so much for darker ones. I have even seen desi parents favoring the gora bachha..lol
I had a long relationship with someone who had pursued me but was insistent that I change my belief and the sparkle and fire wasn't there, then I met someone who liked me for who I am. You can see the chemistry and sparks from space if that is what is there, they way they look at each other, the tone of voice, the gestures and caring they show to each other. This Pakistani guy used to address his wife in a worse tone of voice than a master calls a dog, there definitely was no chemistry there...lol
Re: Potential wife 2 inches taller?
Should not matter, really. And if anything, its not that you are short. As a guy, your height is fine and as a girl she is taller but its ok.
There are more important things to worry about matching than just the height.
