Nyithra:
I dunno why people are so weird about girls being taller than the guy in a couple. Do tall girls not deserve love?
ReindeerFlotilla:
Tall girls deserve NOTHING!
But, no one else deserves anything, so it's okay.
Method of Madness:
That's a depressing outlook on life.

They certainly do. My last crush wasn't taller than me, but she *was* tall, as in about the height of the average (by US standards) height guys, I'm just freakishly tall. Even if I was shorter, the attraction wouldn't have been any less.
Penquin47:
If a girl is taller than her male friend, it threatens his role as protector and decider. Same for women being older/in better shape/smarter/whatever other ridiculous thing you want to apply to relationships. The man's masculinity is threatened by having a partner who is superior to him in any way other than boobs.
It's wrong, based on ridiculous gender expectations, and rather silly. Nonetheless it persists. Heck, I'll admit to being weirded out by it sometimes, although I know I shouldn't be. (More on the age than the height thing.)
