"It helps having a good personality, but there will still be a proportion of women who would never date a shorter man, regardless of how great a personality or lifestyle."
Rob,
what do you mean by a shorter man?
Shorter than herself or than a certain height?

Editor Robin a lot of cases yes, not shorter than herself, or at least a couple of inches taller.

Rob ,please, delete the penultimate couple. 5'11 looks tall in maybe the half of guys with that height. His wife is only 1 inch taller.
This page should be perfect without that couple in my opinion.

Editor RobI am not sure she looks that tall. With heels she should really have a very big difference with Tony.

In just about all the examples above, I reckon that the height differences would be more than compensated for by the size of the guys wallet.

Hey Rob, what do you think is the ideal height difference in a couple between a man and a woman? So that the man is still taller or the same height as the women when she is wearing her highest heels. I would of personally said anything 4 inches+ would be fine or maybe its more or fewer inches?
Do you think three inches is the absolute minimum height difference or would a woman still edge out a guy if she is wearing her highest heels considering the man is wearing shoe 2- 3cm thick?
Thank you!!

Editor RobIf you are 4 inches taller than a partner, then if she wears platform heels, she still won't be taller than you, but very close to eyelevel. Even in normal heels you'll be 1-2 inches taller beside her.
I actually like looking eye to eye with a partner, of course height has never played any role for myself when falling in love...

I would marry someone taller than me at my 5'10. But women are the ones who won't marry shorter.

Rob,
Do you agree that really confident man who has his lifestyle together can attract any woman, doesn't matter how much taller she is than him?

If mary Tyler moore is 5ft 7 and Susan Anton 5ft 11 then they must be in flat shoes in the photo and not heels as Mary looks about 5 inches taller than dudley and Susan 8 or 9 inches taller whereas if they were in heels Susan would be a foot taller than him and Mary about 8 inches taller

Rob,did you know someone personally whose wife/partner was totally towering him like 6-7"taller or even more?The most amazing one was a dwarf who married a 5'8 woman what's more she was really strict while he was a cool man,the most unlikely couple I've seen so far and not only for height.
Also what about weight difference?Despite the fact that there is many overweight women in western countries,I barely recall the case of a woman who was around 200Lbs for 5'5 whose husband was hardly 140-150Lbs for 5'7 range.Seems like the weight difference is even more intimidating?

Editor RobOff hand I can't think of any with tall female and significantly (5-6 inches) shorter partner that I know personally.

Tall gals with short guys always was a pet peeve of mine when I was younger as a tall dude with mixed success dating haha, but don't really care anymore much, especially when a charming guy like Radcliffe or Michael J. Fox. Screw Ulrich though lol.

Another idea is for couples with the greatest height differential.

Great article(pictorial?), Rob....though if I were to nitpick, you should *probably* add an 'er' to the word 'short' in the title as Rod Stewart, Mick Jagger, and Neal McDonough are 5'10", 5'10", and 6'0"(respectively). I know it's all relative, but...

@ Rob - I can put forward Liv Tyler, who was married to 'Spacehogs' frontman, Royston Langton/Langdon/Langden, with whom she had son Milo! There was a big difference between the two of them!

Interesting article , I don't see much difference between Ruve Robertson and Neal McDonough . Very different to the case of Gwendoline Christie and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau.

@ Rob - Now this page HAS to be a new addition to the site, 'cos I've never seen it before! What an awesome idea, and a great morale-booster to the shorter men out there!
Can we make suggestions for this page, of couples who have now split up? How about couples in recent history - which we can back up with photographs, of course?
Cheers Rob! Nice work!

Editor RobIf anybody suggest some, I'd certainly consider increasing the list.
I just added another one, Lars Ulrich and Jessica Miller, he used to be with 5ft 10 range Connie Nielsen for a fair few years too.

Editor RobQuite a few of these couples have been together a fair while too!
I remember reading this quote a while ago talking about an author, this women shows there are people out there who like shorter men:
"I was taller - [Martin Amis is] only 5ft 4in, I'm just 5ft 7in - but this wasn't a problem for Martin. I lived in very high heels during those years and Martin never asked me to go out wearing flats. And I know not why, but I have a weakness for small men. My last boyfriend, the late architect Christopher Bowerbank, was also a lot shorter than me.
I also like men who are cleverer than me. Like playing tennis with a pro, it raises your game"
You can't work on your height, but you can improve many other aspects of yourself that women will find attraction too.

Hey rob, do you think there is about a 4 inch (maybe slightly less) difference in height between Daniel and Darke? Every picture of them together kind of seems around a 3.5-4 inch difference between them. In the pic of them here it seems about a 5-5.5 inch difference (where she only looks to have about a inch advantage in footwear as seen here Click Here
Do you think there is only a 2.5 inch difference between them? Also all the other images out there where erin is barefeet seems at least 3 inches taller even with Daniel's footwear advantage.

Editor RobI think at times there looks near 3 inches between them, other times I thought 2.5. Of course, Radcliffe himself can seem sometimes closer to 5ft 4.
