I’d be happy if I weren’t a whole foot shorter than my husband…
not really. i just didn’t really want to, myself.
It wouldn’t stop me from going out with someone. I’d hope that she felt the same way.
It is funny though looking at those pictures you posted. That was my second thought (after the hair do).
Yes.
Shoot yeah! I’m 6’10″, if I was still looking for a wife and came across a woman TALLER than me, I think I’d run!
eh…if you dont mind, i guess not. however, i definitely prefer my guy taller than me.
not unless its an extreme difference.
in this case I think its funny. But I wouldn’t like it. Of course at 6’3″ I don’t have to worry too much.
no. Why is it a big deal?
Don’t get me started.
Oh, hell. Too late. It’s great dating taller women.
When you’re nose to nose, your toes is in it. When you’re toes to toes, your nose is in it.
Personally, yeah– I wouldn’t like it in a relationship-
No, but it definitely looks better when the guy is taller.
If I were really short I’d see no problem. I would feel, however, a bit uncomfortable for no real reason if I were dating a woman above 6′. It’s nothing to do with a comparison of my height to hers, it’s just her height, I guess. Whatever. Preference. -David
nope not a big deal at all in fact i am sure there are advantages…
what the hell? i was unaware this was an issue.
the height difference isn’t what makes them a freaky couple. i look at them and just don’t see “it”…like michael jackson and lisa marie. yuck.
height isn’t an issue for me unless he’s a midget.
No, not really.
Yes. I wouldn’t date a guy shorter than me. I love to have a guy wrap his arms around me and cover me. Plus, I like feeling safe around a guy, and if he was shorter than me, I wouldn’t feel like that.
LOL!!! Dan… it is an issue for ME! Woman should be shorter, damnit. And men should be stronger – I hate those body building woman too, blehhh..
Ok, out to dinner I go!
Not to me. But I guess it’s never really been a problem for me, because I’m a 5’2″ girl who’s probably not going to get any taller .
Im 5’2 so I probably won’t date anyone shorter than me…but it’s not a big deal as long as the guy isnt gonna be an insecure bitch about it. I already have friends who whine about their bodies, I dont need a man to do that.
after dating my ex i realizing i am only VERY attracted to men above 6’0 (i’m 5’8). so i think everybody is different, as long as they’re content with it. and we don’t always fall for the perfect looking person after all!
ryc: why do you want an iphone???!!!!! they scare me!
No. Though I prefer women taller than I, and I tend to assume the masculine role.
She really ought to check into getting that wart on her hip removed.
I am a short gal at 4’11″ but I like my men really tall… at least 5’10″ or higher. I just think taller guys are sexier. But again, personal preference.
I’m pretty tiny, so I’m pretty sure it’d be hard to find someone smaller than me, to begin with. Which is fine.
No problem, unless the man has some ego issues. I’ve dated men that are shorter (although not for long, due to what I just said before).
As long as it is another girl and not me with he short boyfriend it is all fine.
Only if the man possesses compensating assets or traits.
Direshark, ya know it’s ’cause you short as hell.
Tom Cruise has no Gender. He’s neither, and both.
evryone sure does make it out to be.
They look silly together… not because she’s taller or way younger, but because he’s Tom….
It’s kind of the same thing as breast size with men. We will tell you that height really doesn’t matter, but when it comes down to brass tacks, we’ll look at a taller man first.
Hurts, doesn’t it?
my boyfriend is a few inches shorter than me… its annoying. but no its not THAT big of a deal
yes . . . and no
No, stars do it all the time. However she should wear flats and they should take pictures sitting down, it looks odd.
When it’s that big of a difference, it’s kind of noticable. If she were wearing flats she’d only be about 2 inches taller (yes, I look these things up on Google); then, the height difference would be unremarkable for me.
I like when the guy is taller because I’m short. If he can’t reach things on the top shelf at the grocery store for me what good is he?
Is she really taller than him, or is she just wearing skazillion-inch heels?
Height is nothing. . just the society and what people grew to believe. . =]
x0x MK
It is for me. iunno, she looks like a gorgeous model and he looks like a dwarf.
Personally, I don’t care. But when it comes to them yes. Just cos it’s slightly amusing. :]
I’m not sure how I feel but I know that the taller girls I know say they’d never date a shorter guy.
I never have to worry about it. I’m female and 5′ 0″. However, I wouldn’t like someone shorter than me, for the simple reason that I would never do that to a child genetically
She is 5′ 9″. He is 5′ 7″. There really isn’t that much of a difference…. Until you put on the big heels and hair.
Yeah, I’m 5’9″ and I really would prefer a guy who is taller – it makes me feel small and safe
No…I dated a woman once that was taller than me. The catch, I am 5’11″…it didnt bother me.
No, not really. I’ve come to learn you like someone for who they are. Love isn’t measured in feet or inches.
no i dont think it is a big deal

“I never have to worry about it. I’m female and 5′ 0″. However, I wouldn’t like someone shorter than me, for the simple reason that I would never do that to a child genetically”
Unless of course, you’ve decided early on try them for world-class Figure Scating or Gymastics =)
My brother is the same height as his wife, and she always wears high heels. I think it’s kind of cute.
Other people can do what they want. For me, I won’t go for a guy shorter than me.
Btw, they look like Addams Family here. Hahaha.
Oompa Loompas are not my type.
hahah. to me, yes. but i’d probably think differently if i was a tall gal.
btw. it’s nice to see tom cruise not so insecure anymore. my friend worked on a movie set with him as an extra and he said that he wore lifts in his shoes. also that when extras were being hired, they specifically asked for people 5’6″ and under so that tom cruise would appear tall.
I think it would be kind of weird to be with someone who was shorter than me because I’m 5’4″….
pfft, not unless your superficial. It’s “preferable” to most, but it’s about the person, not the height
i think she looks gorgeous actually.
She’s not really that much taller…she just needs to take off her shoes!
I’m 6′ 6″ so yea it would freak me out . I’ve only met one woman taller than me in my life and she scared me.
It doesn’t matter to me who is taller. Of course, the total difference in height could have practical ramifications. Furniture that is comfortable for really tall people is not comfortable for really short people.
No, though personally I like guys at least my height.
Man, I wish this weren’t an issue. I’m a woman and nearly 6ft tall, and really, there just aren’t enough tall guys out there for me to limit myself that way. No, it should not be an issue. I would date a shorter man, depending on the man. Yes, I will admit that I am often more attracted to taller men; then again I am also more attracted to guys with dark curly hair. I think guys are just as much or more likely to have a problem with it than women. My experience has been that guys are bothered by it, but a guy who can get over it is either really great or really desperate.
didnt nicole wear her hair like that when they were married?
I would much rather have a taller guy. But as long as they (or any couple in this situation) is happy, then, no, height doesn’t matter.
No – I don’t mind if other girls date people shorter than them but I wouldn’t want to.
Wow, Katie Holmes looks really good.
YES
It’s a slight problem, depending on the difference in inches.
not preferred.
well honestly i prefer guys who are taller than me but just generally speaking there really no deal about it at all
I’m taller than my man….
What? No!
At 5’0″, I feel like it would only be fair for me to give a shorter guy a chance– most women taller than me wouldn’t give him the time of day!
That said, G is waaaaaay taller than me (think 6’4″)
height means nothing. If there is an attraction there, then so be it. I never had a problem dating taller women. If you like each other and your ego can handle it, GO!
lol am i coming under fire for what i said
well, okay.. it works out for some people i suppose. if men can be taller in most relationships, why is it that crazy to turn the tables around? hmmm now i feel like pulling back what i said in my last comment.
but let me just say that since i’m 5’2.5″, i wouldnt want to date anyone shorter than me!.. and well, theres not too many men ive seen around that height lol.
I wonder if she has on flats and she is really that much taller or she has on heels. I wouldn’t deliberately wear 4 inch heels if it was gonna make my husband look like a munchkin. It just depends on the couple and if they have issues with it. Love is blind and height really shouldn’t matter.
If it is a casual thing, then no. But if someone is looking for a life partner, and they are basing their selection on who looks good with them, then it is a problem, because that’s not what makes a good relationship last over time.
Not really, I just wouldn’t want to date anyone shorter than me. I’m only 5’3″ though. And I’d like to point out that Tom Cruise looks REALLY stupid in that picture.
Naw. It is a big issue if you’re dating a crazy controlling Scientologist wackjob, though.
my husband is a couple of inches shorter than me. it really doesn’t matter….
her new haircut is beautiful. she and suri are now twins. anyhow regarding your question, i would want my man to be taller. if i was taller than my bf i would feel bigger. id rather be smaller in comparision.
Every woman I’ve ever dated has told me that, if a guy is shorter than her, it’s a deal breaker.
Fortunately for me, I’m 6 foot 2.
For her, no – it’s whatever she wants.
For me, YES.
Apparently Halloween is not over in Hollywood.
She looks scary. Poor Tom.
It would be odd, but if they love each other, who are we to denie them their happiness
Depends… I tend to like guys really close to my height – if they’re too tall, I’m intimidated. If they’re way shorter, they remind me of my little brother, which is just creepy. If they’re just an inch shorter though, I’d date them. I’ve liked several guys who were an inch shorter; as long as I don’t look at them and get that weird mothering instinct, it’s all good.
I’d say no, but truthfully I think I’d have a tough time being taller than a guy I was going out with.
Height doesn’t matter (that much) to me, the shortest guy I would date would probably be around 5’7″. Heck, if he looks like Tom Cruise (just not as crazy) I am so there! (The height is a bigger issue for me since I am a 5’11″ 14 year old. )
A couple weeks ago I realized that all my male idols were around 5’7″ and 5’8″. Lol. How did that happen? *Shrugs*
i’m 5’2″. if a guy was shorter than me, that would be kind of sad.
I’m a tiny bit taller than my husband, but only by like, a half inch or something like that. I think Katie Holmes being taller just adds to the ick factor of their relationship. It’s all just grossly, tragically wrong.
I really do prefer that my husband is taller than me. I think if the difference is only an inch or two, that’s fine; but if I was more than 3 inches taller…mmm…I would feel a bit self-conscious.
COOL!
No, but if she’s ugleir, then all hope is lost.
I think it’s just a matter of preference really… I think it tends to show that a girl is really confident if she’s with a shorter guy..
I mean, i wouldn’t date a guy shorter than me..I’m just into the tall dark and handsome thing, but also i would feel like a chubby amazon woman if the guy was shorter than me!
so, if a couple doesn’t mind the girl being taller, then i don’t think anyone else should make them feel bad about it.
ehh i’d think that i’d want to be level or shorter by a tad…just a tad though.
Yep, for me it’s a big deal, but it depends on the person. I never wanted to date guys shorter than me (and I’m 5’10″).
If I were Katie, I’d at least wear flats, you know.
Comments (100)
its just less preferable to me
which one is the man again?
I’d be happy if I weren’t a whole foot shorter than my husband…
not really. i just didn’t really want to, myself.
It wouldn’t stop me from going out with someone. I’d hope that she felt the same way.
