Would you marry someone taller/shorter than you? (OP)
You can keep it to me to think up these crazy questions. But I ask them in the most sincere manner. I'm really curious!
If you wanted to know my vote, I voted that i would not marry someone taller than me. Is that too picky? It's just not comfortable for me.
Edit:
I may make an exception. One exception being that she loves doing chores, or she likes cooking. Or can iron well. Or she's web savvy and can help manage my sites.
When I said this to zAk once, he said i should just stay single. :l
Re: Would you marry someone taller/shorter than you?
See thats what i mean, good example by the way Abdullahi. When you marry someone shorter it feels like you marry a child seriously. When you hug him he will come up to your neck, thats not right. When I want to hug a child ill go to my aunts house, enough children there. You dont wanna marry a man feeling like hes a child, seems wrong or sick even. Nah I dont want none of that seriously. No short dudes for me..

What about a tall man that looks younger than his age
for example 6 ft 2 , 20 years of age but looks about 17-18
Re: Would you marry someone taller/shorter than you?
At least hes mature, 17 or 18 is a good age. The being tall thing creates the idea hes older. But i guess for me he has to be older in his head as well. A man has to be a man, can have some childisch stuff in his carachter i think thats fun. But he doesnt have to be ALL childish. Means he doesnt handle his responsibilities very well. Interesting question..question answered or need more explenation?? Must say havent thought of this side of the story..

And i speak Italian and some Tamil and Hindi We love each other and for most Indians being a Hindu is part of there culture,, but it's different if their Christian.But as far as aranged marriages and other cultural differences it stil stays the same.
I don't mind sharing anything
So what your saying is when you have the same religion and speak one common language it should be alright?? Hmm interesting...and what about kids..do you have kids? My uncle married a dutch converted woman so my cousins are half morrocan and half dutch. I see they are kinda in the middle because of this. The morrocan side sees them as dutch kids. But they are not the typical dutch kind with the blue eyes and blond hair. From the outside they look morrocan but they talk and act like dutch kids. Could be an identityproblem is what i think...Have you noticed this with your kids (if have any that is)?? U know like their constantly in between or something.
After this ill leave you alona haha

You don't have to leave me alone. I don't mind answering any question from anybody
I only have one child as of yet. Actually my son thinks he is Indian He is actually not at all.....let me explain........I was married once before, to a Greek woman.....nuf said GREEKSSS!
Anyway, we had a son, only after he was born a year after we got arranged, .....she walked out on me and said she had been seeing someone else. She has been with the other dude ever since and they have had children.....out of wedlock!!!
Any way my son looks more like a north Indian and or a Turk or something. He is Italian, Greek mix so black hair, brown eyes and fairly dark skin. He speaks only English fluently but knows some phrases in Italian, Greek, and Tamil.
Re: Would you marry someone taller/shorter than you?
How old is he?? Might I add you seem very happy? Havent met any married people that are actually happy. Thats the scary thing I find about marriage. Dont wanna end up being miserable haha. When did you get married? Do your wife and your kid get along?
You have a scary avatar by the way, the bloody crucifix...can't you find a happier one??
This is too funny..LOL

My son is 7 I am very happily married I couldn't have chosen a better woman. Don't be afraid of marriage just make sure you choose the right person. I didn't the first time, but I had little choice in the matter. You won't end up miserable Marriage isn't easy all the time, but we work through everything and COMMUNICATE allot, that was a big problem fro me at first because i keep everything inside and don't tell anybody my feelings......including her sometimes.....I always come off as the happiest person in the world My wife and kid get along awesome! She treats him as if he is her own child.....they get along better than i get allong with him......She is AWESOME with children Everything he asks for he goes to her first
I will work on the avatar And find a more pleasing one.
God be with you.
never be afriad to ask "ITALIANGUYYYYYYY" questions anybody.

i dont think that's due to the intercultural marriage...i think it boils down to how the couple handles it. does it matter what other people think? as long as the parents love their kids, it shouldn't matter what others think.

It's easy to handle...we don't care what other people think of it. It shouldn't be a big concern Her family had some isssues with it at first,.....but now is ok. Others give us looks, allllllllll the time. It si not the most common match up if you know what i mean.....we just have to deal with it.

Your happy and your family is happy thats what matters
Those people could give you looks but wanna bet they arent as happy as you?
Yeah I had another question about something else. How come your down to earth like this? You are american and see lots of stuff about muslims and extremism and stuff on the TV. How come you didnt ran away screaming from IB but are here talking to us?? Shouldnt you find us scary or anything or be having misconceptions or so like most Americans? Not to be rude or anything but am kinda surprised haha LOL
Re: Would you marry someone taller/shorter than you?
Call me a bit old fashioned though im only 18 lol, but shouldnt it be more about the personality and love rather than about physical appearance. Mind you Im 6ft soo it'd look a bit weird if my spouse is realli short but then again if i loved i realli couldnt giv a ****, but thats my opinion
Re: Would you marry someone taller/shorter than you?
A/Aleykum
True i agree with you. I wouldn't really care how tall or short my spouse is as long as i love them care 4 them and lyk who they are thats it for me lol

They arent i am sure, or their just happy being prejudice and meager?
Down to earth? Who said i was on earth?.....I live in Virginia....seperated from earth Just kiddin around.
I am too cultured by my family and my wifes family. I see what really happens and know that most of the crap on tv is just for ratings.
Run away screaming?? Why? I like all of you here. Plus the only thing i run from screaming is.......spiders I hate spiders
I have been around or know too many from every race, color, creed, nationality and religion. I like everybody equally, i have been around more good Mulims than any bad....in fact....i have never met a bad Muslim to run from? Only what i seee on tv and it's usually lies anyway Plus a couple of Muslim dudes i am friends with told me (in a joking manner) "if we see you getting on the plane...We're getting off! mafia boy"lol They always joke on me and say i am the scary one?
And for your last question....I was raised in "Ahmed_eee_ka" (as my grandparents would say) but born Italian and raised with Italian beliefs and discipline I was told "Ahmedeeekans have no culture, don't fall into their trap of so called freedom" No offense fellow Ahmedeekans! They just never understood ahmedeekans? I guess. We grew up around every type of immagrant you could name....so i didn't have much exposurer to the "Typical American" you know? Only now living in the "deep south" of Ahmedeeka do i really get to meet "others" I feel like an alien sometimes

Re: Would you marry someone taller/shorter than you?
Salaam,
Ok I am really tall for a female( or so I believe 5'8'') and never pictured myself with a shorter guy. But Alhamdulilah I am not worried about that anymore coz Allah already gave me who I was looking for exactly
P.s. No offense to any1 and I am not shallow
