Is a 5’2" girl and 6’2" boy an ideal height combo for a couple?
Saw this pairing come up in a conversation recently and it got me curious what people actually think. A foot of height difference is pretty significant, so wanted to get different opinions on it.
Things I’m curious about:
Does a big height gap like this actually matter for compatibility, or is it just an aesthetic preference some people have?
For those in relationships with a noticeable height difference (either direction), does it cause any real day-to-day issues, or is it just something people online make a bigger deal out of than it actually is?
Is there an “ideal” height gap at all, or does it really just come down to personal preference and has nothing to do with how well a couple actually works?
Not trying to start a debate, just genuinely curious what people think, especially those who’ve actually experienced a similar height gap themselves.
Ideal for what?! Constantly being asked to reach things from the top shelf?
My wife is about 6” shorter than me and it’s already inconvenient in a bunch of ways. A full foot apart? Jesus, my back hurts thinking about it.
The only perfect sizes is when the angle matches without bending.
My wife of > 40 years and I; the only issue is that we have to adjust the seat and mirrors of our car when swapping drivers. Apart from that it’s smooth sailing.
That’s my wife and I, and we’re crazy for each other. But “right height” isn’t enough to build a relationship on, it’s just a bonus.
