But let's figure it out: what's really wrong with such couples? And is it true that the difference in height is a problem at all?

Where does this stereotype come from?

For thousands of years, men were considered "breadwinners", "protectors", "the stronger sex". And that means - taller, wider, larger. A woman "should be" fragile, petite, quiet. All these social patterns are so deeply ingrained in culture that they still affect our view of couples.

Meanwhile, height does not determine either masculinity or femininity, or the level of love between people.

Why does this bother men?

Because from childhood boys are taught to "be strong", "not to give in", "to be the main one". And society suggests: if a woman is taller - it means that she is "dominant", and the man is "ashamed".

But the truth is that a man can be much taller spiritually, emotionally, intellectually - and no one sees this at first glance.

And if a woman is taller, and at the same time she respects, inspires and loves her man - then what else is needed?

Women also have it hard

Many tall girls are embarrassed by their height from adolescence. They are afraid to wear heels, afraid to "look like giraffes", afraid to "be unfeminine". And when they fall in love with a man shorter than themselves - they often face condemnation from others.

But why adjust love to centimeters?

What is really important in a couple? Support

Respect

Common goals

The ability to laugh together

Emotional closeness

And yes - chemistry! And it is definitely not measured with a ruler.

What to do if you are taller?

If you are a woman and taller than your man - do not slouch, do not apologize, do not hide your heels. He chose you not for your height, but for who you are. And if you are a man and shorter than your woman - be proud that next to you there is such a strong, beautiful, self-confident woman who chose you. This is an honor, not a reason for a complex.

And finally:

Love is not measured in centimeters.
Height is just a number, not a reason for loneliness.
The main thing is to be with someone with whom you can be yourself. Even in high heels, even barefoot.
