Parents, honestly, if your daughter was 5'8" and she brought home a guy who is 5'5"-5'6" would you break them up? Why or why not?
Siblings, if your sister dated a guy shorter than them would you try to break them up? Why or why not?
I'm sure a bunch of you would, but I'll wait to see what answers I get. Thanks.

no..Idon't think it is wise to try to break up a relationship my child is in as it backfires and they often marry the person.
What s most important is is my child happy and what kind of character the girl/boy has.
Unfortunately, my son has a gf of three years he plans to marry who he says he gets along great with..they have never even had a fight to my astonishment..she is a pretty girl but I don't like her personality that much but seriously, I only have a little control..My son will love who he loves despite how I feel.. if the girl loves/likes you, she will not let her family break them up especially on something so trite as height.

Not just no, but heII NO!!!
I have seen way too many very happy couples with some Bull Poop difference that some group of people deem important. One of the happiest couples I ever met had about a 35 year age difference. She was often times mistaken for his mother.
I dated two women when I was younger who had more than an a couple of inches on me.
I have a buddy who is a little person, (god how he hates that). He dates women taller than himself all the time.
My cousins wife is about 10 inches taller than he is.
Everyone of these people are or were happy when I last saw them. A few inches in height is probably the WEAKEST reason I can think of to end a relationship.
If my daughter was unhappy, I would do what I could to help her. But happiness and height are two VERY different things. Only if it is an issue to them, causing unhappiness, should it be a reason for a break up and then it needs to be their decision not mine.

no, I would not. my daughter dated a muslim boy from somalia for awhile. I loved him. They dated a year and a half ago. He still calls me once or twice a week. He calls me mom. I call him son. I love him. I'm white. He's black. He's muslim. I'm not. If someone is treating my daughters well, and they are both happy, I could care less about anything else. Are you ever going to email me or IM me? I'm sure you won't, but I'll wait to see what happens

I would absolutely not try to break them up. My own parents were like that, my mom's 5'10" and I think my dad's 5'6", and they were together for 26 years. My stepfather is also shorter than my mom. He makes her happy and that is the most important thing.

i'm a 22 years previous guy who's merely 5'5 and that i ought to date a lady who's taller than me any day, i detect them eye-catching. you're literally not the merely human being who had/has feeling for adult adult males who're shorter than you, I knew some females who were taller than me and had weigh down on me, truly one of them change into even 6 feet.

I have dated several guys that were my height or an inch or two shorter. In fact, to be honest, I have always preferred shorter men. They are much easier to kiss.

no, i wouldn't and that s ridiculous. nor would i care what color you are. get with it. there are "short" people everywhere, i'm one of them, so what? what is the deal. you must have been a giant in one of your prior lives. you are taking this thing a too far. my daughter is taking a guy to the prom and she is a goo 4 inches taller. her date has a great personality, sure you can say he is short if you want, its not going to matter to us. i stand behind whatever. i'm glad that my husband was attracted to short gals.

Even if he was what you consider a "little person" (i'm trying to be pc), I wouldn't stop them from dating. If the height difference is ok with them, and the man is treating her right, that's what matters. I'm more concerned with looking out for drug addicts, abusers, mentally disturbed individuals, and the like.

I'd rather my daughter, sibling or whoever dated a short guy that treated her right than a tall guy who treated her badly.
There are way more important things than height (or lack of).

No! I was involved with someone who was shorter than me, and as the old saying goes "Good things come in small packages"!
