** This is the norm in most old-world primates, with things like mandrills having males 3 times larger that the male. To say nothing about orangutans or gorillas...

** ''Hasha no Tsurugi'', the AlternateContinuity manga of ''Rekka no Ken'' has [[spoiler: [[MightyGlacier Gant]] and [[RebelliousPrincess Celdia]]]]. [[OfficialCouple Becomes official]] [[WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue at the end]] and overlaps with HotSkittyOnWailordAction, since they have ''eight'' kids together.

** Optimus and Elita-1 in both Generation 1 and ''TransformersAnimated''.

** Hell, most of the couples on the show have this going. Someone in the casting department has a "type" or a kink, it seems. Both Claire and Elle are about 5' 1'' and just about the only short guy in the whole show is Hiro.

** Hell, most of the couples on the show have this going. Someone in the casting department has a "type" or a kink, it seems.

** Inverted in ''Discworld/Thud'', when pipsqueak Nobby Nobbs dates the six-foot stripper Tawneee.

** Viktor and Ivy do not have a confirmed romantic relationship, however. Most readers believe that the relationship is more uncle/niece or father/daughter than anything else.

* The 1930s song "Everyone Has Sex Appeal for Someone" by Ronald Frankau contains the lines: "There's the little chap who married someone statuesque and grand / He's worn himself to ribbons, at least I understand / Through climbing up to kiss her and sliding back to land / so she must have had some sex appeal for him."

** Sari and Bumblebee are a platonic example due to the mental ages involved. [[MinionShipping Lugnut and Strika]] are an aversion, although their relationship is confined to AD BOY meets world

*** Also we have another that is {{Shipping}}: Kisuke (183 cm 6') and his friend Yoruichi (156 cm 5'1"). And if we go by the filler arc, this played straight with the Zanpakutou spirits of Hitsugaya and Hinamori: Tobiume is the TokenLoli, while Hyourinmaru towers her and is quite muscular.

* ''{{Onidere}}'' has a hilarious take on this trope. While Saya and Tadashi have little height difference between t

** Sari and Bumblebee are a platonic example due to the mental ages involved. [[MinionShipping Lugnut and Strika]] are an aversion, although their relationship is confined to [[ AD BOY meets world

* ''{{Onidere}}'' has a hilarious take on this trope. While Saya and Tadashi have little height difference between them, in Saya's [[ImagineSpot mind]] Tadashi is larger than life. Every time he does something sweet for her, her mind somehow sees him as literally holding her in the palm of his hand. When asked how tall her boyfriend was, she answered "10 meters" in all seriousness.
* The {{Shojo}} manga ''The Magic Touch'''s main couple, Chiaki Togu and Yosuke Moriizumi are an example of this trope. Though Yoskue is only slightly tall for a teenager, Chiaki comes up to slightly below his shoulders and is rather petite, sometimes being mistaken for a middle schooler despite being a freshman in high school

** Sari and Bumblebee are a platonic example due to the mental ages involved. [[MinionShipping Lugnut and Strika]] are an aversion, although their relationship is confined to [[AllThereInTheManual bonus material]].
* Non-romantic example: [[GrowingUpCreepie Creepie]], a rather small girl, usually hangs out with GentleGiant Budge, the second to largest character. Also, Creepie's boyfriend Skipper is much taller than her.
* A number of {{Metalocalypse}} slash fans seem to have a fetish for Huge Guy/Tiny Guy, considering how often Nathan/Charles and Nathan/Pickles fanworks emphasize the guys' size difference.
* The Lumpy Space Princess's parents in ''AdventureTimeWithFinnAndJake''.
* [[TheGoodeFamily Ubuntuu and Bliss Goode]] are a brother and sister example (or at least step-sibling example). Bliss is somewhat petite while Ubuntuu is built like a mountain.
* Owen and Izzy from the [[TotalDramaIsland Total Drama Franchise]], although pairing Owen with any of the other female contestants would also count

* In the animal kingdom, it's quite common for the females to be larger than the males, except with mammals. The most extreme example would probably be the various species of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Cryptopsaras_couesii_%28triplewart_seadevil%29.gif anglerfish]]. See also [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_dimorphism sexual dimorphism]].
** Perhaps the most extreme straight example in nature is the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:See_elefanten_edit.jpg elephant seals]], of which the males outmass the females by a factor of about ten.
** Gorillas. And lions.
* Bao Xishun (7'9", or 236cm) and his wife Xia Shujuan (exact height not known, but stated to be 2/3 her husband's). [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Bao_Xishun_and_Xia_Shujuan.jpg]] Bao and Xia are now parents of a son, born in October 2008, BTW. [Bao held the title of world's tallest living man from 1991 until 2008, lost it to a claimant who has since refused to be re-measured by an objective source, got it back, and has now lost it to a man who is verified to be 8'1" (247cm).]
* 19th century giant [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mills_Darden Mills Darden]] stood about 7'6" (225cm) and is claimed to have weighed nearly 1000 lb. (453kg) -- yes, as in half a ton. His wife, according to several sources, was 5' (152cm) and weighed 98 lb (44kg). They had from three to five children (depending on source).
* Édith Piaf and Marcel Cerdan. There's this picture...[[http://michka.blog50.com/images/medium_piaf73.jpg]] and then there's the caricature....[[http://bp2.blogger.com/_hueSve7h0ug/RsPPfxOWxfI/AAAAAAAAAfk/tWEKMTbJYhY/s1600-h/edithetmarcel%5B1%5D.jpg]]
* Usually happens with pairs figure skaters. To do most of the moves, the man has to have some height on the lady; sometimes, it reaches the point where a pair is referred to as "gorilla and flea" or "one and one half skater." Because of the amount of time pairs spend together, very often they become romantically involved, and if they don't they'll usually become TheStraightWillAndGrace.
** Also typical in swing dancing due to lifts, dips, and throws.
* George Washington was quite tall for his time period and towered over his wife Martha. He would often politely lower his head to speak with her while standing.
** Similarly, Abraham and Mary Lincoln, Bill and Hillary Clinton, George W. and Laura Bush.
* NaomiWatts and Liev Schreiber.
* Platonic example: the {{voice actor}}s MamoruMiyano and AyaHirano.
** TravisWillingham and LuciChristian, who could pass for their roles as [[OuranHighSchoolHostClub Mori and Honey]] if they tried.
* These two: http://awkwardfamilyphotos.com/2009/10/09/size-doesnt-matter/
* [[http://abcnews.go.com/Health/Story?id=4244025&page=1 These two.]] A 6'4" guy and a tiny dwarf girl.
* Bollywood stars and married couple AmitabhBachchan and JayaBhaduri. In one movie where they play a married couple, Jaya Bhaduri pulls out a stool to stand on when she wants a hug.
* [[TsaristRussia Tsar]] Peter the Great of Russia was [[LargeAndInCharge over 7 feet tall]]. Both of his wives were of more or less ordinary height.
* As stated above, Julia Child and her sister. It's implied this was one of many things that annoyed their very conservative parents.
* Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith at 6'2" and 5', respectively.
* ElizaDushku and her boyfriend Rick Fox, [[http://i44.tinypic.com/250qelv.jpg at 5'5" and 6'7" respectively]]. Tropers with minds so inclined may notice that her chest is at the same level as his crotch.
* Jared Padalecki and Genevieve Cortese. He's 6'4" and she's about 5'4".

* Another non-romantic example comes in ''GhostInTheShell'', as Motoko Kusanagi and Batou have a long-standing work relationship.

* Deunan and Briareos in ''{{Appleseed}}''; in many official artworks, Bri is easily ''twice'' Deunan's height. They also venture into the BeastAndBeauty territory thanks to Briareos being a [[HollywoodCyborg full-body cyborg]].
