Why would i marry someone shorter than me? I prolly wont date a shorter guy in the first place so marriage wont be an option.
Short guy? So that he'll have to climb on stool to kiss me,shey?
I'm scared of short guys oh. Some of them have massive inferiority complexes;always overcompensating for their height deficiency.

http://www.metrolyrics.com/2009-jamie-cullum-finds-comments-about-height-differerence-with-girlfriend-sophie-dahl-strange-news.html

(Jazz singer Jamie Cullum has said he finds it "strange" that the press comment on his relationship with 5ft 11in model Sophie Dahl.

Jamie, 30, is seven inches shorter than fiancee Sophie, 32, and he said that the height difference is "not a problem" between them.

He said: "I mostly ignore things, because it's so real, the love, and I don't feel as though [the press] impacts on my life.

"And the only thing about the size difference that makes me a bit sad is that I think it sends out a really weird message to the universe, [the idea that it's] a problem to people.

"It's clearly not a problem to us, and it never has been. And I find it strange that it would be reported in such a way."wink

Shyone,

Is your fiance short?
Re: Ladies, Can U Marry A Man That Is Shorter Than You? by Atreides(f): 12:37am On Feb 20, 2011
@mrs c,yes her fiancee is. She's said so.
Btw-Hi momma!
Re: Ladies, Can U Marry A Man That Is Shorter Than You? by ShyOne(f): 12:38am On Feb 20, 2011
These women don't look like the mothers of the men

The majority of these shorter men have much more $$$ than the women

So to whatever poster thinks that these tall beauties are paying shorter men to be with them - that poster is off base TOTALLY.

These are powerful, sexy, good looking and CONFIDENT about who they are - they don't fear what others think - because they know that 9 times out 10 others want what they have.  You can believe they aren't being laughed at - their circle of friends and observers definitely admire and welcome them where-ever they go.
Re: Ladies, Can U Marry A Man That Is Shorter Than You? by ShyOne(f): 12:39am On Feb 20, 2011
Hey Mrs. C:

My fiance is shorter than I - he isn't short - no - he stands 5'7
Re: Ladies, Can U Marry A Man That Is Shorter Than You? by MrsChima(f): 12:42am On Feb 20, 2011
Atreides:

@mrs c,yes her fiancee is. She's said so. You will have to forgive momma, I am always skim reading.  It is a habit that I picked up in school and 9 out of 10 it always worked for me.
Btw-Hi momma!

Hey baby!  How are you?  I see you don't date shorties either.  Your papi is tall and I love it!  grin tongue


Okay, Shyone.  5'7 to 5'8 considers to be average in the modeling world.

been broken up some years now but still HILARIOUS to see!  grin grin
[2nd pic.] is' Bow Weezy' on his tippy teezy?  grin grin LMAO!
Re: Ladies, Can U Marry A Man That Is Shorter Than You? by Nobody: 2:02am On Feb 20, 2011
^^^ LOL, looks like Ciara could just pick him up in her arms

@post
Hell no
Re: Ladies, Can U Marry A Man That Is Shorter Than You? by ShyOne(f): 2:07am On Feb 20, 2011
oooo mzdskn


Ciara and Bow Wow not even in the same class - she dresses classy and he doesn't even look like a man - she looks like a woman and he looks like a young boy - height isn't their problem

age looks like the culprit to me - if he were dressed in a suit or similar to her - they would be a nice couple - get rid of the braids and look like a man

@topic

Re: Ladies, Can U Marry A Man That Is Shorter Than You? by ShyOne(f): 3:56pm On Feb 20, 2011
oooo

height has nothing to do with looking up or down on someone

how many tall men do you know that have accomplished very little, aren't supportive of their mates or families that live in U.S.?

I know a heap of them and though they tower above me physically - I definitely can and have looked down on them at some time or other.

but i do understand what you are trying to convey on a so-called physical level - I am not trying to undermine or diss your post

my baby is 5'7 and he towers over me - i look up to him on sooo many different levels

cool   cheesy

Re: Ladies, Can U Marry A Man That Is Shorter Than You? by MrsChima(f): 5:49pm On Feb 20, 2011
This is the question to all those who are online dating and engaged.

As Deniyor so eloquently (paraphrasing) put it that ONLINE image fools a lot of people and most people differs offline from what they are online.

How would you feel if the person whom you are dating and engaged to DIFFERS from their online image? Would you still date them or marry them after meeting them finally in person knowing they have lied about their height and weight?

I can say that every 7 foot tall man or woman is not the same and what if they aren't what they portrayed to be physically would you still continue to date them?

Be honest. It is the best way to go.
Re: Ladies, Can U Marry A Man That Is Shorter Than You? by MiniDee: 5:51pm On Feb 20, 2011

What's height got to do with love & marriage?
Re: Ladies, Can U Marry A Man That Is Shorter Than You? by MrsChima(f): 5:58pm On Feb 20, 2011
Iranoladun:

What's height got to do with love & marriage?

Some people have preferences of who they want to marry. There are people who want to marry a short guy/girl or a tall guy/girl.

Like Tina said, What's love gotta do with anything?
