    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?

    I would like to marry a relatively taller female on average, but certainly shorter than me. I think its just our psychology. But of course these things are trivial in the end. A personal preference, but nothing more than that.

    I dont think so. There are people who will have opposite preferences. So can we say that today's society did not shape them? No. It's just what we inherently like and what we dont. Genetic differences I guess. Or maybe conditioning of the brain. Saw too many couples with shorter females, so the brain has "evolved" to think that's the norm. If the norm is broken, seems weird.

    Sure, you pushed me in the corner to chose option 2, but all this never happens. There is always some optimistic decesion you have to take. And these are silly things to care in life.

    Not really. A muslim should marry to a religious Muslimah to whom he is also physically attracted. I guess many men include height of a female in that "physical attraction" part. So its not "silly" for me. Its like saying "wife's beauty" is silly. Maybe to you. But not to other men.

    Re: Would you marry someone taller/shorter than you?

    Personally, I like a guy to be taller then me.
    I like to feel protected by my man, if he is shorted then me, then I don't feel as protected.

    I don't mean to cause offensive to anyone, just my personal view

    Everyone is different but height shouldn't be problem.For example if this guy has good quality and he is short will you leave him dua to his shortness? same goes for the brothers.All i'm trying to say is that we all have favourite but sometimes we should be more flexible.

    I will take whoever I can get as long as we are compatible. If she resembles "Andre the giant" or if she is able to dunk a basketball without having to jump up, there is a good chance I might pass the offer though. I'm not gonna lie. Astaghfirullah

    Re: Would you marry someone taller/shorter than you?

    Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,

    It surely surprises me how so many people can vote they would NOT like to marry a taller / shorter woman / man. Since when did the person's look and height become an important thing in considering whether you can marry a certain person or not? Yes, you might look at a person in the street and prefere the man to be taller, or the woman to be shorter. But firstly in this case we shall lower our gaze, which means we shall not even look at people from the other sex on the street. Then if we consider marriage, who is that shallow that you prefere a person of a special height instead of the knowledge in Islam, the moral, the way of life the person has? It is nothing but ridiculous.

    However I voted "I don't care". I can marry a man taller than myself, or shorter than myself. And you can divorce a man taller than yourself, or shorter than yourself, because you chose a person who wasn't good for you. In the end it is about the person's inside and acts, not height.

    Re: Would you marry someone taller/shorter than you?

    I'm 6'2" and I would not marry someone too short and definitely not someone taller than me.. The Ideal height for a women for me would be 5'6"-5'10" since I stand at 6'2" .. I want to be able to look at her face without bending my neck too much :P

    Umm... bro Rashad, doesn't "I don't care" mean the same thing as "I would marry...?"

    I chose "I would marry a shorter man". I chose that coz' I meant that I wouldn't refuse a man only because of his height if I love him otherwise.

    So I could've as well chosen " I don't care". Yeah, I think I should've that instead

    Since forever. Although it shouldn't be important, the reality is that it is to a lot of people. People are bias in many things: looks, height, weight, shoe size, hair, any disabilities, etc. etc. It is hard to come by someone who will take whatever they can get.

    For the people out there who are unbiased, my Allah reward them greatly. Unfortunately, I'm not one of them.

    Re: Would you marry someone taller/shorter than you?

    Having been married 3 times my wives varied in height. I am about 5'-9" used to be 5'-11" But that is a different topic. My shortest wife was 5'-2" tallest was 6'-3" I never noticed the height of either. So, my choice was I don't care.

    Re: Would you marry someone taller/shorter than you?

    Salaam,

    First of all fun question!
    Me being a female would NOT like to marry a shorter male. Thought about why I don't want to marry someone shorter. You are right its between the ears. A woman wants someone who can protect her since she wants to start a family. Safety is very important! A shorter male suggests he is not strong and cant defend a woman (and children) in situations where this is neccesary. And women do look for a strong male. Being tall and big is preferable...he doesnt have to be like skyhigh but just taller than me is OK..
    Fun question hehe
