I'm not at the high level of squick you are, anon, but I don't get the fascination with height some people have. Like a guy being yea high is a dating requirement. Guy must be X taller than girl. Who cares?

Maybe it's just because I'm a pretty tall girl but idgaf. It's easier if you're the same height! All the important bits align! Whenever I see a really tall guy with a really short chick I just think, "Damn, kissing her must hurt his back."

[(Anonymous)]

All of my boyfriends have been at least a foot taller than me and they never complained. :D

[sweetgreens.livejournal.com]

As a really tiny woman (4'10") I've always wondered what it would be like to be tall and have a partner the same size as me. Always seemed so sexy, haha!

But I need someone taller to reach shit for me. Also, I want to maximize the chances of my hypothetical children being somewhat average in height - being this small is so inconvenient! I want their lives to have less annoyances than mine.

[childings.livejournal.com]

OH GOD RACIAL AND HEIGHT DIFFERENCES HOW FUCKING CREEPY
Seriously WTF is your problem

[visp.livejournal.com]

It reminds her of a rather convoluted concept called 'yellow fever' and that creeps her out.

[followthemoth.livejournal.com]

Thank you for this, btw.
As a mixed asian/white girl, this secret made me uncomfortable. :(

[micromyni.livejournal.com]

I can see how that would be cute or desirable, but it can be creepy if you ever think about what the taller/stronger one could do and assume that the tiny one could do nothing. It really does nothing good for me. As I've said before, I like reversing norms and such, so I prefer tiny guys and tall girls.

[micromyni.livejournal.com]

If the couple just happens to be a small girl and tiny guy, there's nothing wrong with that. But I've met guys who were like, "I want a really tiny girl, like I could pick her up with one arm tiny." and had a minimum height requirement to be considered for dating.

[childings.livejournal.com]

LOL I had a friend in high school who was barely five feet tall and like, 100 lbs who could kick my ass quite easily. She was super muscular and took martial arts, so... (PS. she wasn't Asian, just to get that out of the way)

[netbug009.livejournal.com]

"if you ever think about what the taller/stronger one could do and assume that the tiny one could do nothing"

If that's the OP's thoughts, it's odd they picked ToraDora! of all things for their example. Their first meeting was the girl punching the guy to the floor. XD

[(Anonymous)]

I like reversing norms and such, so I prefer tiny guys and tall girls.

I wish people were more open to that. I'm female, 5'8" (so nowhere near super tall but above average), and I prefer shorter guys. It's really hard to find guys willing to date girls taller than them.

[valenciapilgrim.livejournal.com]

I lived in Japan for two years teaching English, and while myself and a lot of the other English teachers (both male and female) dated Japanese people, I don't remember EVER thinking that a female Japanese half of a mixed couple was particularly short (by Western or Japanese standards). I'm sure many of them were average or maybe even on the short side, but "doll-like"? Not even close.

I'm kind of a short female myself (just short of 5' 5", most of my female family and friends are taller than me) and I'm WILDLY attracted to tall men. Does that make me gross, or is it just wrong when tall guys like short girls?

[kindlycoyote.livejournal.com]

Same here! /short-girl-attracted-to-height-high-five!

I think for me, part of the attraction is that I find shorter guys disorienting. Why? Because I am the shortest one in my family, and both my bro and dad top 6"4. I know they aren't average, but considering they are the guys I am around the most it seems like the norm for me. I always have to do some mental adjustments with shorter guys for some reason. (With that said, my first crazy crush was a guy who was only one inch taller than me, so it's not a hard science. He had GREAT hair though.)

But yeah, describing how you love how 'doll-like' they are does border on creepy for me, but I have met so many Tall guy/short girl couples at extremes that I barely blink at it now.

[wynndfae.livejournal.com]

I used to have this fixation where the guy had to be at least six foot and over. I'm only 5'5" as well, but I grew up being the "tall girl" in my circle of friends and it kinda created this weird complex with my feminitity where I wasn't girly enough unless I was either A. shorter or B. dating someone who made me appear shorter. The hilarious thing about this is when I did date a few guys who were six and up it was still the same perception I held about myself. I realized that a tall boyfriend wasn't going to fix my hangups about my femininity or what-have-you; now I take them damn near at all sizes. Though I do feel weird when the guy is shorter. XD;

Though height is crazy attractive, I still own that. ^^

[(Anonymous)]

Well I guess you can't really help it if you're like 4'9 lol..:( Most dudes are taller than you

[streetcake.livejournal.com]

Well, the problem with this is that if a girl is really short or if a guy is really tall, then most people they date will have a big difference in height and there's nothing they can do about it. So it's kind of weird of you to see couples like that and be creeped out by it. Just don't assume the worst without getting to know the people!

[(Anonymous)]

Am I the only one reading this as more then 'tall/short couples creep me out', and more 'tall/short couples in anime which is open to racially ambiguous interpretation - face of the other and all that - reminds me of the couples I saw in Japan which I believed to be problematic or creepy for reasons I haven't expanded upon here'.

Like there might be some things to pick apart here, but lets at5 least try to reasonably interpret their secret.

[angelus7988.livejournal.com]

Fetishization of people can be squicky. It's a shame you have such a severe reaction to seeing short woman/tall man, given how prevalent gender norms select for those pairings.

[atlanticmelody.livejournal.com]

Well I'm 5'1 so most guys do tower over me. It's not really something I can help, sorry.

[(Anonymous)]

I will admit I hate ridiculously short girl/tall guy combo. But I hate it because there's a ridiculous double standard that a tall girl can't date a short guy, and most guys of average height are shorter then me, and if all the tall guys want to date tiny girls, well then I'm screwed.

The double standard also kind of plays into power imbalances between men and women which I do not like.

But I really only get bothered when the height differences are extremely huge and it looks awkward, but even then if it works for the couple then it works for them. I just wish more guys liked tall girls :/

[(Anonymous)]

I personally find huge height differences awkward in dating, but that's just me. And while I can see where you're coming from with being creeped out by some specific phenomena in Japan, you actually carry that over to every tall guy + short girl combo in every show? That's the part I'm finding weird.

[(Anonymous)]

A height or size difference is not indicative of a power imbalance, and has no impact on most people's ability to have a healthy relationship.

[smittenlotus.livejournal.com]

I can sort of understand the creeped out-ness if you heard guys actually talking like that. I wish you had chosen a different couple though as an example; Ryuji is one of the sweetest guys in an anime you could find. Me, I'm a short girl. I'd love a tall guy/girl or a guy/girl my own height. I don't understand some people's fascination with height, personally. I think attitude is what's more important.

[(Anonymous)]

as a short asian girl i am just going to say that i personally find tall/skinny white guys very attractive.

ok that was my kinda-racist opinion running away now :\
