Based on his height (approximately 5'5") and the fact that he comes up to about her shoulder, I'd say she is probably close to 6' tall.

I believe that that height would put her in the top 3% of females in the world.

It would also put him right in the old "wheelhouse" during a slow dance.

O.K so at 6ft tall for her that is tall..(Im trying to figure out why people would stare)....I think people might notice a woman who is 6ft tall but not 'stare"..HIm being 5'5" does make him below average for a man..I believe average for a man is about 5' 9"...

So them being "together" excentuates his below average heigth and her above average height..

I will have to admit..I wouldnt "notice" or stare at her on her own..Or "notice or stare " at him on his own.I have a friend who is 5'11(a female)..from across the room she doesnt "stand out" its when Im standing there talking to her face to chest I notice it..LOL!!!Versus my brother..He doesnt stand out to me at 5'5"..even when Im talkign to him ..because Im 5'2"...

Its the "contrast" that makes both their out of average heights(for a male and female period) more noticable most likely..

Im 5"2 and my husband is 5'10" Im trying to imagine if that were reversed.It shouldnt matter but that might mess with my mind a little.

O.K so now that I've thourougly confused myself..It is possible people are "staring" at them because of the male/female social expectations that the man is "supposed to be" taller.Even if it was only a couple inches difference it wouldn't bring on the same reaction.

Which is rude..People shouldnt stare in the first place.

The woman I mentioned who is 5'11..that is TALL for a woman..But her husband is 6'4"..No one "stares" at them even though they are both really tall.Because he is talller than her so you dont notice so much how tall she is..or him for that mattter.They "match".

I will also have to admit..My brother who is 5'5" would not date a woman who is 6ft tall..He dated one girl who was 5"7..only a couple inches taller.He had "insecurities" about that..He forbid her to wear heals..I remember her complaining she missed wearing high heals.She didnt have a problem with the difference..My brother did.

Love

Friend Luke,

my girlfriend is tall

One has various choices /alternatives to sort out his/her problems in life.
There is nothing as perfect but on the other hand being UNIQUE is PERFECT.

You should take great pride that you are an exception where a short person has a tall girlfriend. Also your girlfriend should feel equally great to have a short boyfriend.

Finally if there is no love and only a matter of convenience that both have no other choices then it is going to peter out on its own accord; nothing to worry in any case.

Cheer up friend Luke!
Walk with chin up, always.
Love & rgds

You should just assume that it's because your girlfriend is just so beautiful. ;)

My boyfriend is Native American, and very dark-skinned, and I have very, very white skin. His hair is longer than mine, and we live in Tennessee, where couples people see as mixed-race still get stared down in a lot of places. Seriously, it's no big deal. When you love each other, who cares about other people and their preconcieved notions? Other people can't make you feel insecure, only you can do that. Your girlfriend is right to tell you not to worry. You feel like a short freak (believe me, I know how you feel), but she probably feels like a tall freak. She just chooses not to let it bother her. You should do the same.

5'5" seems like an average height for a guy to me. But then again, I'm only 5'2", so I guess it's a matter of perception. :D

Problem? Problem?

Buy some platform shoes.

Hate to be rude but you don't have a problem. Or at least not one about a tall girlfriend but one caring too much about what other people think about you.

Stop it.

Of course it should be noted that I'm not currently in a relationship so out of envy I find your problem rather small.

From my observations the vulgarity filter's only set for American profanity, obscenity, &c.
Rude British, Australian, S. African expressions fly right through.
