19->''"His cute little blush. Her bright face. ''The height difference.''"''
20-->-- A comment on [[http://theghostofminitiate.tumblr.com/post/82059084357/k25ff-so-along-here-daniel-are-you this fan-art]] of ''Webcomic/{{Chiasmata}}'' on Website/{{Tumblr}}

22Men are usually bigger than women, right? Well, most of the time, but there are cases in which a woman will be taller than her love interest, either because she's unusually tall or because he's unusually short. Sometimes it's both; sometimes the girl is a good deal wider than the guy as well. Generally the first example goes under StatuesqueStunner, while the second goes in BigBeautifulWoman, but either one could also be an AmazonianBeauty.
23
24When this trope happens, the guy might feel [[NoGuyWantsAnAmazon self-conscious]] about dating a woman larger than him, or the girl might feel [[AllAmazonsWantHercules similarly insecure]] about dating a man much shorter/smaller than her (and let's not talk about if she wears ''heels''...). But in other cases, the guy will find a woman attractive not ''despite'' how tall she is, but partly [[StatuesqueStunner because of it]]. Of course, this particular height-contrast lends itself to what the boyfriend might call [[MarshmallowHell Marshmallow Heaven]].
25
26Naturally, the {{Opposite Trope|s}} of HugeGuyTinyGirl and OneHeadTaller. Often exarcebated if the woman believes in HighHeelPower. Can be related to UglyGuyHotWife if the man has cartoonish features while the woman is more realistically proportioned, or occasionally with HotGuyUglyWife if the man looks handsome (or at least normal) while the woman is a mannish or even monstrous hulk. It may overlap with AmazonianBeauty, BigBeautifulWoman, ChubbyMamaSkinnyPapa, StatuesqueStunner, or TinySchoolboy. MasculineGirlFeminineBoy is a SisterTrope, and the two are often found together. Particularly exaggerated versions of this may involve a GiantWoman or an IncredibleShrinkingMan.

28%%Naturally, the {{Opposite Trope|s}} of HugeGuyTinyGirl and OneHeadTaller. Often exarcebated if the woman believes in HighHeelPower. Can be related to UglyGuyHotWife if the man has cartoonish features while the woman is more realistically proportioned, Small Parent Huge Child for father-daughter pairings, or occasionally with HotGuyUglyWife if the man looks handsome (or at least normal) while the woman is a mannish or even monstrous hulk. It may overlap with AmazonianBeauty, StatuesqueStunner, BigBeautifulWoman, TinySchoolboy, HugeSchoolgirl, or ChubbyMamaSkinnyPapa.

30If you have an '''entire''' species with this, you may have a case of BizarreSexualDimorphism.

32!!Examples:
33
34[[foldercontrol]]
35
36[[folder:Advertising]]
37* A series of British {{Public Service Announcement}}s during the 1960s featured a cartoon couple called Joe and Petunia, who would get into dangerous situations to show the viewer what not to do. Joe was drawn as a tiny little man while Petunia was obese and almost twice as tall.
38* A non-romantic example is seen between one-off character Ms. Pink compared to Advertising/SnapCrackleAndPop in a set of Canadian commercials. She towers over the three of them by about double their height. Despite this huge size gap, all four of them are still only [[{{Lilliputians}} inches tall]].
39[[/folder]]
40
41[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
42!!!'''By Author:'''
43* This, combined with BuxomBeautyStandard, is Creator/CoolKyouShinsha's fetish, and [[AuthorAppeal he includes it in just about all of his works]] (both hentai and mainstream).
44** There's a 30 cm (just under 1 foot) difference between Haru and Tsurezure in ''Manga/{{Ojojojo}}''. This is only ever brought up once when Tsurezure mentions his HeightAngst.
45** ''Manga/KomorisanCantDecline'' Komori and Ootani. Ootani is one of the shortest people in his class, and compared to the [[HugeSchoolgirl six-foot-tall]] Komori, everyone is tiny, making him look even shorter by comparison. As they point out when they first interact, [[IronicName their names mean the exact opposite]].
46** ''Manga/MissKobayashisDragonMaid'' has [[StatuesqueStunner Lucoa]] and [[PunnyName Shouta]], although the height difference is justified by the fact that the latter is only 10 years old (though it's implied that Lucoa might actually be a case of MistakenForPedophile).
47** ''[=ChiChi ChiChi=]'' has Hikaru and his eventual girlfriend [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname Chintarou]], who towers over him despite being several years his junior. [[BigBrotherAttraction His little sister Sana]] is also about a head taller than him.
48** Mizuki from ''Paranoia Cage'' is several inches taller than her crush Kyousuke.
49
50!!!'''By Title:'''
51* ''Manga/The100GirlfriendsWhoReallyReallyReallyReallyReallyLoveYou'':
52** The leader of the [[OpposingSportsTeam Gorira Alliance]] stands at least OneHeadTaller than her boyfriend Yuu.
53** Yamame, Rentarou's fourteenth girlfriend, is OneHeadTaller than him.
54* Haruyuki Arita and Kuroyukihime from ''Literature/AccelWorld''. He barely reaches to her waist (at least in the anime).
55* Downplayed in ''Manga/AhMyGoddess'', where it's only an issue because Keichii is insecure about his height, whereas Belldandy doesn't care and is only slightly taller than he is anyway.
56%%* Mizuki and Akira from ''Manga/AiOreLoveMe''.
57* Inoue Kazurou's short story ''Aoi Destruction'', where the titular character is a [[OlderThanTheyLook 38-year-old]] pint-[[FunSize sized]] [[DudeLooksLikeALady Hot "Loli" Dad]] and his late wife was a [[TheBigGuy overwhelmingly hulking]] [[MightyGlacier pile of muscle]].
58%%* Yui and Kei from ''Manga/TheBeautifulSkiesOfHououHigh''.
59* Cibo and Killy of the manga series ''Manga/{{Blame}}'', with Cibo being a good deal taller than Killy. [[spoiler:At least, at first.]]
60* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'': Division 10's Vice Captain Rangiku Matsumoto (172 cm, or 5'7 3/4") and Captain Toushirou Hitsugaya (133 cm, or 4'4"), the woman being massive in at least one area... [[BuxomBeautyStandard More like two areas, though]].
61* ''Manga/ChierisLoveIs8MetersTall'': Chieri is [[GiantWoman 8 meters taller]] than her {{Childhood Friend|s}} and ImpliedLoveInterest Yumeji.
62* ''Manga/{{Claymore}}'': Riful and Dauf (Awakened form), and Clare and Raki (pre-timeskip). Ironically both cases are [[HugeGuyTinyGirl reversed]] when they're not Awakened (Riful's human form is a tiny little girl next to Dauf's hulking figure) and post-timeskip (Raki becomes outright ''huge'' when he grows up, while Clare doesn't visibly change) respectively.
63* ''Manga/TheDangersInMyHeart'': KyĹŤtarĹŤ Ichikawa is only a little short compared to kids his age, while Anna Yamada is incredibly tall [[OneHeadTaller compared to everyone else in their age group]] to the point where she stands shoulders with [[StatuesqueStunner the average Japanese adult male.]] At middle school age.
64* ''Manga/DoYouLikeBigGirls'' involves pint-sized freeter Souta Tachibana getting roped into helping his sister Kaoru with her college's volleyball team, [[HaremGenre a bevy of attractive ladies]] who all happen to be ''much'' taller than Souta.
65* ''Anime/DragonBallZ'': Krillin is noticeably shorter than his wife #18 and practically every other character of the series (Gohan was the same height as him when he was ''four years old''). Although this just might be inconsistent height, considering he's 152 cm and was as tall as Gohan when he was 9 or 10 years old.
66* ''Franchise/FullmetalAlchemist'':
67** More-or-less every straight Edward Elric pairing (and originally the OfficialCouple of him and [[spoiler:Winry]]) is this. For most of the [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist manga]] he's 149 cm - 157 cm, though he outgrows it.
68** Noah in ''Anime/FullmetalAlchemistTheConquerorOfShamballa'' is at maximum an ImpliedLoveInterest, at minimum his only female friend at the moment, and is noticeably taller than Edward. Unlike in the manga, he's at full-grown height so he won't get any taller. Winry (who is taller than her manga version) is also shown to be taller than Ed in the movie.
69** Major Alex Louis Armstrong's parents also count. Mrs. Armstrong is as tall as Alex, but with a very graceful figure. Mr. Armstrong is only half as tall as his wife and son, but has a muscular build that HAS BEEN PASSED DOWN THE ARMSTRONG LINE FOR GENERATIONS!
70* Fujiyama Maki, the middle school-aged main character in ''Fujiyama-san wa Shishunki,'' is way taller than her boyfriend Kanba-kun. She's also well-built, chunky enough that a couple of times he's successfully hidden behind her to keep their relationship a secret from classmates.
71* Natsuru from ''Manga/TheGodsLie'' is at a normal height for an eleven-year-old boy, but the girl he falls for, Suzumura, is [[HugeSchoolgirl tall for her age]]. At one point she expresses the hope that he'll ''eventually'' outgrow her, but we never see if this ever happens.
72* Makoto's ThirdOptionLoveInterest Maekawa from ''Literature/GroundControlToPsychoelectricGirl'' is a HugeSchoolgirl who towers several centimeters over him.
73* ''Anime/GunXSword'': A mild antagonist version; Fasalina is clearly a head and few inches taller than Michael.
74* The two main characters in ''Manga/HitomiChanIsShyWithStrangers'' are the [[HugeSchoolgirl tall]] Hitomi, and Yuu, who is a year above Hitomi but [[TinySchoolboy short for his age]]. One chapter sees them get wet and muddy in the rain and Hitomi locked out of her house; she has to get her clothes washed at his place, but none of the clothes he lets her borrow fit. At several later points, Yuu is mistaken for Hitomi's ''son''.
75%%* The protagonists of ''Manga/HoukagoPlay'''s first volume.
76* Koichi and Yukako from ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure''. Technically and officially Yukako is only four inches taller than Koichi, but because the art-style consistently draws Koichi short it often looks like she towers over him.
77* The manga RomCom series ''Kabocha Wine'' (and its AnimatedAdaptation ''The Kabocha Wine'') has this as its central gimmick. Protagonist Shunsuke is a PintSizedPowerhouse and self-styled HeManWomanHater who has a soft spot for sweet-natured HugeSchoolgirl Natsumi, who due to standing head and shoulders over many of her normal-sized male classmates, let alone Shunsuke, is more commonly referred to by the nickname "L".[[note]]For '''L'''arge size.[[/note]]
78* From ''Literature/{{Katanagatari}}'', we have Chouchou, who is roughly the size of a child, and Oshidori, who is the tallest female character.
79* ''Manga/KotouraSan'': While at this point more of a platonic couple, Yuriko and Dai'chi are also an example.
80* Lampshaded in ''Literature/LibraryWar'', in which Kasahara is noticeably taller than her love interest and superior Dojo, to his annoyance.
81* ''Manga/LovelyComplex'':
82** The whole premise of the series. Koizumi (171 cm tall: HugeSchoolgirl) and Otani (158 cm tall: TheNapoleon) are often seen as a sort of comedic duo due to their height discrepancies and it becomes a popular game to imagine what kind of odd couple they'd make together. For better or worse, they start falling for each other...
83** It's also hinted that [[spoiler: this is a case of GenerationXerox, as Koizumi's grandparents were also like this... and they faced ''lots'' of hardships. This ''may'' explain why Koizumi's now widowed grandfather hates Otani so much - he fears that he won't be able to make Koizumi happy if they stay together]].
84* ''Anime/{{Macross}}'':
85** ''Anime/MacrossFrontier'': Michel Blanc and Klan Klang (often a full-sized Zentraedi). That is, if Klan isn't Micloned. If she does, the trope is HugeGuyTinyGirl instead, as she looks [[OlderThanTheyLook much smaller and younger]] than her real age.
86** Max Jenius and Millia Fallyna from [[Anime/SuperDimensionFortressMacross the first series]], although they only encountered each other in Millia's original size [[DefectingForLove once]]... [[RuleThirtyFour that we know of]].
87* ''Manga/MagicKnightRayearth'': Tiny SpiritAdvisor Clef (who's ReallySevenHundredYearsOld) and either Umi Ryuzaki or Presea [[spoiler: (add Presea's BackupTwin Sierra, if you follow the anime)]], whether their affections for him are romantic or not (at least [[AllLoveIsUnrequited onesided]] from Presea [[spoiler: and Sierra]], Umi's case is a bit more debatable).
88* In the ''Anime/MazingerZ'' SpinOff ''Manga/NewMazinger'', Major Kabuto (human-sized) and Princess Krishna (Mazinger-sized... around eighteen-meters tall). He understandably complains she is the most beautiful woman he has found, but they are the wrong size.
89* In ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam0083StardustMemory'', the AmazonianBeauty WrenchWench Moira Bascht and the ButtMonkey pilot Chuck Keith end up becoming the BetaCouple (or at least are implied to do so). Moira stands head and shoulders over Keith and is obviously more muscular then he is.
90* ''Manga/MonsterMusume'': Kimihito is of fairly average height, but he's a short guy next to Centora, Rachnera and Tionishia.
91* In the [[{{Hentai}} h-manga]] ''Monster Romance'', the main story revolves around an [[IcePerson ice]]-[[{{Oni}} oni]] named Asuska who dislikes the idea of dating humans, due to a [[FantasticRacism history of discrimination]], however when a human named Eiji asks her out, she thinks of rejecting him but end up accepting, and despite her being slightly taller than him, their size difference is never brought up, [[InterSpeciesRomance and not only do they become a couple]], [[TheirFirstTime but consumate their relatioship]].
92* In ''Manga/MonthlyGirlsNozakiKun'', there's [[{{Bifauxnen}} Kashima]] (176cm) and Hori (164cm). The former will tease the latter about being too short to play lead roles in the drama club but she's still his {{Fangirl}}.
93* Kaoru of ''Manga/NanaAndKaoru'' is really short and skinny, while Nana is a statuesque brunette who's two/three inches taller. One chapter shows he has to stand on tiptoe to whisper into her ear.
94* ''Manga/OnePiece'':
95** Monkey D. Luffy clocks in at just over 170 cm. His enthusiastic admirer, the pirate empress Boa Hancock, towers over him at a statuesque ''191 cm''. (For bonus amusement, she's also 12 years his senior, making them if not a MayDecemberRomance then at least a May-August... Whatever The Heck Is Going On There.)
96** He later befriends Princess Shirahoshi, the biggest mermaid alive, whose size is comparable to their ship. They more or less remain platonic, however.
97** [[spoiler: Miss Monday and Mr. 9 became an OfficialCouple version of this trope during the time skip; they even have a baby to seal the deal.]]
98** Two of Charlotte "Big Mom" Linlin's daughters, Praline and Chiffon, are HappilyMarried to shorter men: Aladdin from the Sun Pirates,[[note]]Who ''isn't'' exactly short, by the way; he's around the height of the 301-cm-tall Jinbe, but [[StatuesqueStunner Praline is just that huge]] (specifically, they are 627cm and 800cm respectively).[[/note]] and Capone Bege.[[note]]Around 166 cm, meaning he's short but not ''excessively'' so.[[/note]]
99** "Big Mom" Charlotte Linlin and [[ReallyGetsAround most of her 43 husbands]].[[note]]With whom she's had ''85 children''.[[/note]] She is 880 cm tall so it must have bordered on HotSkittyOnWailordAction more than a number of times.
100* Pietro's parents in ''VideoGame/{{Popolocrois}}''. Doubles as InterspeciesRomance, since his mom is a dragon.
101* ''Manga/QueenMillennia'': While Hajime and his uncle are notably short, Yayoi tower over any shown man.
102* In ''Manga/{{Ratman}}'', [[ObliviousToLove Shuto Katsuragi]] and both of his... well, kind-of-{{Love Interest|s}}, Mirea Mizushima and Rio Kizaki.
103* Not uncommon in the Heian-era fantasy {{hentai}} series ''Shikkoku no Shaga'' due to its emphasis on InterspeciesRomance between humans and {{Cute Monster Girl}}s. While the titular Shaga, a karasu tengu, towers over her [[BodyguardCrush young ward]] Ushiwaka (who's still a teenager), the [[HalfHumanHybrid half-human, half-cow spirit]] Kurenai from the second episode takes the prize- when standing at her full height she's about eight feet tall, and when she and her human lover are leaving the village to look for a new place to live at the end of the episode, she's [[BridalCarry carrying him bridal style]] with no discernible effort.
104* ''Anime/SailorMoon'':
105** Not that Rei is that huge (she is 5'3 (160 cm), around average height for a 14-year-old Japanese girl), but she's about '''one foot''' taller than her [[MiniatureSeniorCitizens small grandfather]].
106** This is usually a reason Makoto/Sailor Jupiter has difficulty finding a guy. Her StatuesqueStunner status usually results in this trope, making most men uncomfortable.
107* ''Manga/TheSevenDeadlySins'':
108** Meliodas and Elizabeth. Elizabeth isn't particularly tall, but Meliodas is so short that he's sometimes mistaken for a child.
109** [[GiantWoman Diane]], one of their teammates, is from the Giant clan and starts the series with a crush on the tiny Meliodas. Still gets played straight when she and Fairy King Harlequin become a couple.
110** One of the minor characters, Matrona, is also a GiantWoman. After having dropped out of the story in a flashback, she eventually comes back and is revealed to have fallen for a human man.
111** There's Meliodas's [[CainAndAbel antagonistic brother]] Zeldris, who both share similar stature. He's in love with a taller vampire named Gelda.
112** The sequel ''Manga/FourKnightsOfTheApocalypse'' adds more examples:
113*** Percival and Anne. Like Meliodas and Elizabeth above, Percival is a very short, baby-faced guy and Anne is a teenage girl of normal height.
114*** Meliodas's son, Tristan and Isolde. Compared to Meliodas, Tristan is of average height, but Isolde still towers over him.
115* In ''Manga/ShamanKing'', Manta Oyamada's father is about his height (in the neighborhood of 80 centimeters tall); his mother, on the other hand, is of normal height (and [[UglyGuyHotWife noticeably better-looking]]).
116* In ''Manga/SoulEater'', Tsubaki is noticeably taller than her meister Black Star, and Liz is taller than Death the Kid. The girls are also quite a bit older. Between the beginning and end of the manga, Kid seems to grow by a ridiculous degree, going from two heads shorter than Liz to her equal in height. How much is supposed to be an actual change in height (there appears to be an unspecified Time Skip after the Baba Yaga arc) rather than ArtEvolution is hard to say.
117* In ''Manga/SuperDreadnoughtGirl4946'', short guy Makoto Tokida ends up befriending and forming a relationship with the nearly fifty-meter tall Mana Eimiya. She insists her height is 49 metres 46 centimetres; it's important to her because ''shorter girls are cuter, right?'' There's also Kotou Akemi and [[GenderBlenderName Isaac Montana]], who both tried to win him over Mana.
118%%* ''Manga/SteelAngelKurumi'' and the 12-year-old protagonist Nakahito.
119* ''Take On Me'' centers on Tsushida Tomonori (scrawny and about 5'1" (156 cm)) and Hikaru Oono ([[HugeSchoolgirl just shy of 6'0" (182 cm) and capable of walking off with Tsuda tucked under her arm]]). Since it is ''that'' [[{{Hentai}} sort]] [[PornWithPlot of]] {{Manga}} there are a few amusingly awkward scenes that cannot be described here.
120* Makken and Leyte in ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann''. Leyte is over a head taller than Makken, who she's shown to have married post-TimeSkip.
121* In ''Anime/TimeBokan'', the parrot has a large domineering wife.
122* ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod'': Yuri Jahad, who is two heads taller than her dwarfish guide Evan Edroch.
123* ''Manga/{{Trigun}}'':
124** Millie and either Vash or Meryl are a platonic example.
125*** Vash and Wolfwood are both rather average-sized. But Wolfwood with Millie becomes this trope, while Vash becomes the [[HugeGuyTinyGirl Huge Guy with Meryl]].
126** Pa Nebraska is a tiny, ugly, ancient-looking man. His wife, Ma Nebraska, basically looks like Gofsef (the giant deformed cyborg who is so huge that Pa rides around in his pocket) with breasts and hair. Except she may be even bigger than her giant son, at least a head taller.
127* The [[OfficialCouple main couple]] of HugeSchoolgirl, Ayako, and Mamoru, in ''Literature/VenusToMamoru'' is this trope. He comes a bit short of her shoulders.
128* ''Manga/VermeilInGold'' has Alto, the protagonist, who while not particularly short, gets paired up with Vermeil, a StatuesqueStunner HotAsHell demoness with huge boobs. One chapter hints that Alto has a bit of HeightAngst, and when Vermeil teases him with the suggestion they check the size difference, he reacts badly.
129* In ''Manga/WelcomeToDemonSchoolIrumaKun'', Iruma is of below-average height while his ImpliedLoveInterest Ameri towers over not just him but [[StatuesqueStunner almost everybody]].
130* ''Manga/TheWorldIsStillBeautiful'': 12-year-old Livius and the older Nike. She is about a head taller when they first meet.
131* In ''Manga/YuGiOh'', we have Anzu, who has a somewhat average height for a girl but contrast it with Yugi, who is pretty much a midget. In the BeachEpisode, Jonouchi realizes how odd a ship of them would be. She's also taller than Dark Yugi/Atem. Mai is even taller than both of them.
132* She's only seen briefly in a flashback, but Napoleon's ex-wife from ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'' clearly towered over him.
133* [[NobleDemon Hiei]] from ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'' is significantly smaller than his prospective {{Love Interest|s}} [[DarkActionGirl Mukuro]], with whom the BelligerentSexualTension is very present.
134* ''VideoGame/ZoneOfTheEnders: Dolores, i'', in a non-romantic ([[PrecociousCrush sorta]]), platonic way: The old veteran pilot stuck together with a [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots sentient]] [[HumongousMecha mecha]] with a [[GenkiGirl little girl's personality]].
135[[/folder]]
136
137[[folder:Arts]]
138* This is a staple of French cartoonist [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Dubout Albert Dubout]]'s illustrations. He especially pushed the size difference to ExaggeratedTrope level, having the husbands being midgets compared to their huge, heavyset battleaxe wives with massive breasts. [[http://www.dubout.fr/fr/dessins/couples/index.php Observe.]]
139[[/folder]]
140
141[[folder:Asian Animation]]
142* ''Animation/AlienFamilyJollyPolly'': The eponymous family's father, Podo, is a purple creature with a {{Cephalothorax}} body. The mother, Francoise, is a blue fish-like critter who's much taller in comparison. Justified; both are aliens, which have much weirder biology than humans.

145[[folder:Comic Books]]
146!!By Author:
147* Creator/AvatarPress:
148** Christos Gage's ''Absolution'' has Alpha, a female [[NighInvulnerability Brick]], well over 1.8 m tall and happily married to a non-metahuman man of considerably more average proportions.
149* Creator/DCComics:
150** [[Characters/NewGodsNewGenesis Scott Free and Big Barda]]. [[https://www.pinterest.com/pin/750130881669981693/ Awww, so cute.]] (DependingOnTheWriter, Scott is sometimes just as tall, but even then Barda [[AmazonianBeauty is a very muscular]] [[BigBeautifulWoman and fairly full-figured woman]] while Scott is a very slender and flexible contortionist and escapologist.)
151** Also with Scott Free's Manager Oberon and Fire.
152** Post-''ComicBook/ZeroHourCrisisInTime'' ''ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes'' had Monstress and Element Lad, which might also count as BeastAndBeauty except for the fact that Monstress doesn't have a "Beast" personality.
153** Characters/{{Nightwing|DickGrayson}} and [[Characters/TeenTitansStarfire Starfire]] of ''[[ComicBook/TeenTitans Titans]]'' fame. He's only short relative to other superheroes, but ''she'' is almost two meters tall. ''More'', counting her hair. They stay like this even in [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003 the animated version]], where she's somewhat shorter and has normal hair.
154** {{Sizeshifter}}s Giganta and ComicBook/TheAtom ([[AffirmativeActionLegacy Ryan Choi]]) used to be an item. Even with both at normal size, she has several inches on him.
155** Similarly, Andromeda and Brainiac 5 of ''ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes''.
156** Characters/{{Wonder Woman|TheCharacter}} is usually considerably taller than [[Characters/WonderWomanAllies Steve Trevor]], however just how much of a difference they have in height is fairly inconsistent in continuities outside of ''ComicBook/TheLegendOfWonderWoman2016''.
157** ''ComicBook/Robin1993'' villains Micro and Macro are a couple with size-shifting abilities and Micro is small enough to ride on his girlfriend's shoulder during their crime spree in Gotham.
158* Creator/HarveyComics:
159** Long-running character Little Lotta, a large BigEater with near super strength, has Gerald, a stereotypical puny bookworm, for a guy pal.
160* Creator/JohnByrne's [[AuthorAppeal favorite trope]], incorporating it into ''every'' comic he writes that he can get away with, such as ''ComicBook/SheHulk'', ''ComicBook/{{Babe}}'', and even when he took over writing duties at ''ComicBook/{{Wonder Woman|1987}}'' he managed to introduce a short guy for Diana to command.
161* Creator/MarvelComics:
162** ''ComicBook/AlphaFlight'' has the towering [[NighInvulnerability Diamond Lil]] and average-height [[{{Technopath}} Madison Jeffries]]. Also Heather Hudson briefly dated Puck, a dwarf.
163** Technically, whenever any ComicBook/AntMan [[IncredibleShrinkingMan shrinks down]] and his girlfriend/wife doesn't - often making use of their shrinking for [[PowerPerversionPotential more lewd purposes]].
164*** In one comic, Hank Pym used his shrinking abilities to pleasure his wife [[Characters/TheWasp Janet van Dyne]] in a decidedly different manner.
165*** Eric O'Grady - otherwise known as [[TheAdjectivalSuperhero The]] [[{{Jerkass}} Irredeemable]] Ant-Man - had no qualms about using his shrinking abilities to [[ThePeepingTom peep]] on female superheroes while they showered, and once snuck into ComicBook/BlackWidow's [[VictoriasSecretCompartment cleavage]].
166** ComicBook/SheHulk and Wyatt Wingfoot, when they were dating. Note that Wyatt Wingfoot is actually a pretty large fellow (he's taller than say, [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Reed Richards or Johnny Storm]]). Really, she has ended up being taller than every man she dated seriously.
167** [[Characters/MarvelComicsLogan Wolverine]] and almost any woman he dates. At 5'3" (160 cm), even his teenage "sidekicks" [[Characters/MarvelComicsJubilee Jubilee]] and [[Characters/MarvelComicsKittyPryde Kitty Pryde]] are taller.
168** Cypher and Bei the Blood Moon. Cypher would probably be considered normal sized, at 5'9" and 150lbs, if he didn't hang around superheroes so much. But his wife towers over him by at least a foot, and has the Amazonian physique appropriate to an immortal mutant warrior.
169* ''Creator/TangentComics'' has the MisterBig Doll Man and his moll, the tall, muscular Big Barda.
170
171!!By Title:
172* ''ComicBook/{{Agent 327}}'': Agent 327 and Olga Lawina.
173* ''ComicBook/{{Asterix}}'':
174** Geriatrix, being in his 90s, would be pretty short even if he wasn't always hunched over. His [[UglyGuyHotWife drop-dead-gorgeous wife]] is one of the tallest Gauls in the village (and most of that height is ''leg'').
175** Likewise, Bravura the "modernist" female bard is roughly twice the height of Asterix, whom she takes a liking to. She shamelessly exploits the difference, using it to pick him up when she feels like it, until she gets him so mad that he punches her.
176** In ''Asterix and the New Class'', a flashback to the births of Asterix and Obelix shows that Vitalstatistix had a large mother and a small father, as an inversion of the size difference between him and his wife Impedimenta.
177* ''ComicBook/DeathLiesAndTreachery'': When Wim Magwit stands on a circus podium and wears a pointy gnome hat, he's still shorter than his BigBeautifulWoman wife.
178* ''ComicBook/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicIDW'': In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicIDWIssue17To20 Reflections]]", Celestia is revealed to have a relationship with an alternate universe Sombra, who's noticeably shorter than her.
179* ''ComicBook/RedEars'': Due to the differing art styles. GĂĽrcan GĂĽrsel in particular tends to [[AuthorAppeal emphasize women's legs]], drawing them as towering Amazonians compared to the shorter men they're paired with.
180* In ''ComicBook/TheSanctuaryTree'': Donald Duck and the fat female guard who falls in love with him.
181* ''ComicBook/SavageDragon'': Battle Girl and Mr. Glum, though he used a PoweredArmor that makes him look tall, he is actually a diminutive alien which doesn't bother all his girlfriend, who is a normal-sized teenage girl.
182* ''ComicBook/SavageHearts'' has Bronwyn, a [[AmazonianBeauty boisterous barbarian beauty]] who towers over her beast-man partner [[FaunsAndSatyrs Graor]].
183* Back when they were together, ComicBook/ScottPilgrim and Envy were this, as Envy is about a head taller than him.
184[[/folder]]
185
186[[folder:Comic Strips]]
187* ''ComicStrip/TheAddamsFamily'': the mother (later named Morticia by the TV show) is considerably taller than the father (Gomez) in the original comics. This carries over to animated versions of the characters, but not to the 90s live-action films (where Gomez is played by the 6ft2 Creator/RaulJulia, and Morticia by the 5ft10 Creator/AnjelicaHuston), or the 60s TV show (Creator/JohnAstin is a very average height at 5ft10, and Carolyn Jones was 5ft5--they are often filmed in ways that make Morticia look taller than she is, but she's still clearly not taller than Gomez).
188* ''ComicStrip/BigNate'': Nate was the tiny guy to Kim's huge girl when he was forced to go out with her.
189* Chester Gould used this trope twice in ''ComicStrip/DickTracy''; first with Jerome [[SdrawkcabName Trohs]] and Mamma; then again with Heels Beals and Acres O' Reilly.
190* This serves as the punchline to one ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones'' comic strip. Dino falls in love with a female dinosaur, and in the last panel we see that she towers over him.
191** In another comic, Dino falls in love with another giant female dinosaur, which annoys Fred as it means he's forced to use a giant bowl and cement mixer in order to feed them.
192* ''ComicStrip/MaryWorth'' has neighbors Saul Wynter and Eve, drawn together by their shared love of dogs. She's easily a head taller than he is.
193* During the high school days of ''ComicStrip/SafeHavens'', there was Gerald and Bambi, a diminutive computer nerd and a tall {{B|igBeautifulWoman}}BW respectively. They started going out ''because'' they were so mismatched. After their relationship got strained by Gerald going to a different college, Bambi becoming a professional singer, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Gerald's growth spurt]] making him as tall as Bambi, they amicably broke up (to her agent Jenny's consternation, as nice {{Break Up Song}}s don't do well on the charts).

196[[folder:Fan Works]]
197* [[http://nullpony-exception.deviantart.com/art/I-think-I-m-ok-with-this-327964057?q=gallery%3Aplumpponies%2F30830361&qo=2 This]] Website/DeviantArt drawing.
198* When it comes to most of [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/281125/HVK HVK's]] WesternAnimation/AdventureTime fan fictions, whenever Finn is paired up with a love interest, you can expect that girl to be at least two times bigger than Finn, and it's often written as romantic and cute. The same author's {{WebComic/Homestuck}} works follow a similar pattern with Karkat and Terezi; Karkat is typically depicted as being very short for a troll, while [[AmazonianBeauty Terezi]] is gigantic.
199* A non-romantic example with allies Xenilla (a.k.a Spacegodzilla) and Destroyah in ''Fanfic/TheBridge'', once they are transferred to Equestria. Xenilla isn't exactly small, being a hair taller than Princess Luna and fairly well built. But put him next to the gargantuan Destroyah, who is a full head taller than Princess Celestia and a good deal bulkier; anyone would look small.
200* A number of ''Toys/{{Bionicle}}'' fans were hoping that Kiina and Berix would become a couple. Jossed by [[WordOfGod Greg Farshtey]], since they're from [[InterspeciesRomance different species]].
201* ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'' has Harry and Carol, who start out as this (though they're merely platonic at the time), with him being 5'4 at best and a skinny teenager, and Carol, who's a year older and hit a growth spurt early is 5'11. Harry hits a growth spurt of his own and rapidly catches up, as they get closer over the following year or so, but he still isn't the same height/is slightly shorter than her in the sequel when the {{UST}} really hots up and [[spoiler: they finally hook up]].
202* In ''Fanfic/TheCliff'', [[CrackPairing Mime and BrĂĽnnhilde]] end up together. He is a dwarf and she a former Valkyrie, which means she is almost twice as tall as him.
203* ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainSeekerOfCrocus'': A platonic example is 60-year-old Amelia when partnered with 11-year-old Yuri.
204* ''FanFic/ItsNotTheRaptorDNA'': A platonic example with Elise the ''Indominus rex'' and Owen Grady, as despite not being fully grown, Elise nonetheless ''towers'' over Owen as well as the rest of the human characters.
205* ''Fanfic/JimmyTwoShoesTheMovieMiseryLovesCompany'': Lucius Heinous VII is the Tiny Guy to his long lost wife Maggie's Huge Girl, due to the fact that Maggie is of normal height while Lucius is a comically tiny [[TheNapoleon Napoleon]].
206* ''Fanfic/MandiesNewTarget'': Mandie is much taller than Danny, whom she is infatuated with. Danny, for his part, isn't interested.
207* ''Fanfic/TheManyDatesOfDannyFenton'': Some of Danny's dates are taller than him, the most obvious being [[Franchise/SailorMoon Makoto/Lita Kino]], though it does nothing to diminish Danny's interest in them.
208* ''FanFic/HeroesOfTheNewWorld'': Izuku is a bit short for his age, while his partner Yamato is a StatuesqueStunner who is at least twice as tall as him.
209* In ''Fanfic/MyHuntsmanAcademia'', Pyrrha Nikos is at least a half-foot taller than her next tallest teammate, Izuku, who is noted to be somewhat short for his age due to his lack of Aura to help his growth along. She's quite embarrassed by this and it makes her stick out when they're hanging out in Vale together.
210* Kyril and Evetta from ''Fanfic/TheNightUnfurls'' are a [[PlatonicLifePartners platonic]] example. Kyril is by no means "tiny", being TallDarkAndHandsome, but he is shorter than Evetta by a few inches.
211* Since Princess Celestia and Princess Luna from ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' are alicorns, which are much taller than the average pony, humanized works involving them will invoke this trope. (Especially when flirting with their gruff but shorter guards.)
212* In the ''Manga/{{Naruto}}''/''Manga/{{Fairy Tail}}'' fanfic ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10756003/1/Ninja-Tail Ninja Tail]]'', Erza is roughly a head taller than her love interest Naruto, who is about the same height as Lucy.
213* C'ren Bieber of the ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' fanfic ''Fanfic/OneLessLonelyGurl'' is 179 cm, while Music/JustinBieber is 171 cm. Also, her alleged second love interest is implied to be Plankton, who is short both in canon and the fic.
214* In ''Fanfic/APossibleEncounterForAPhantom'', Danny Fenton meets Kim Possible. As this is from season 3 of her series, she's 16 and taller than the 14 year old boy. This doesn't stop the ShipTease between them.
215* The Sandman and his {{Love Interest|s}} Almas, [[WishUponAShootingStar Spirit of the Wishing Star]], in the ''Return of the Guardians'' fanfiction trilogy. He is cartoonishly short and squat, while she is a 9ft tall [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Blue-Skinned Space Babe]]. Their couple-y interactions usually have Almas cradling Sandy like a baby, and he does not mind at all.
216* Due to the InterspeciesRomance element of ''Blog/{{Solarhood}}'', Sonic and Elise have very different heights. Sonic doesn't even reach Elise's shoulders. This results in more than one gag.
217* ''Fanfic/AStarstruckPhantasmicRomance'': Both Starfire and Blackfire are taller than Danny, but it doesn't diminish their love for him.
218* Seen in the ''Fanfic/TwiceUponAnAge'' series in any scene where [[VideoGame/DragonAgeII Varric and Bethany]] are together. Since he's a dwarf and she's human, she's naturally taller than he is. However, it's subverted in that Bethany is one of the smallest humans in the ''Dragon Age'' franchise, and the narrative observes that she's not quite a full head taller than her dwarven companion.
219* ''Fanfic/VoyagesOfTheWildSeaHorse:'' Harumi Tsukuyomi and Miriam Ransdottir fit this trope to a tee. He's 169 centimeters tall, making him on the short side even for a human, and she's 426 centimeters tall. A rough size comparison puts him about as tall as her ''knee''. The size comparison gets even more outlandish considering she [[AmazonianBeauty has limbs rippling with muscles]] and [[BigBeautifulWoman a permanent potbelly]] whilst he is so slender and delicate looking he is [[DudeLooksLikeALady frequently mistaken for a woman]], to say nothing of how much she must outweigh him. Given that Harumi is an AmazonChaser from a LadyLand where strong women are idealized, he thinks she's the most beautiful woman he's ever seen.
220** [[NonHumanHumanoidHybrid Miriam's]] mother Agnetha and her unnamed [[OurMermaidsAreDifferent fishman boyfriend]] are an exaggerated version; most fishmen are roughly the size of tall humans on average, whilst Agnetha [[GiantWoman is 20 meters tall]]. No, that's not a misprint; twenty ''meters''.
221* [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/7350/1/mothers/mothers Mothers]] and ''Fanfic/WakingNightmares'', both written by [=KnightMysterio=], mentions that Fluttershy's mother Barricade is a massive but loving brute, while her father Tender Loving Care is meek and quiet.
222[[/folder]]
223
224[[folder:Films -- Animation]]
225* ''WesternAnimation/BeeMovie'' has a platonic version between anthropomorphic bee Barry, who forms a friendship with (and also a one-sided crush on) attractive human florist Vanessa.
226* Xibalba and La Muerte in ''WesternAnimation/TheBookOfLife''. Downplayed as both are Gods, which makes them incredibly tall with La Muerte being just a few inches taller than her husband who normally slumps but is slightly taller than when he stands straight. [[spoiler: Played more straight with their human forms in the framing story.]]
227* Both sets of parents in ''WesternAnimation/CorpseBride'' are this in different ways. William and Nell Van Dort are roughly the same height, but William is skinny whereas Nell is wide enough to have trouble getting into the carriage. Finis and Maudeline Everglot appear to be the same height when we first see them, but then it is revealed Finis is standing on a stepladder and is only about half as tall as his wife.
228* Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon:
229** ''WesternAnimation/AliceInWonderland'' has the King and Queen of Hearts. The Queen of Hearts is a huge, overbearing figure. The King of Hearts is minuscule in comparison. It is lampshaded in the introductions:
230--->'''White Rabbit:''' Her imperial highness, he... her grace, her excellency, her royal majesty, the Queen of Hearts!\
231'''Crowd:''' [wild cheers]\
232'''The King:''' ''[clears his throat expectantly]''\
233'''White Rabbit:''' [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg And the King.]]\
234'''Random voice:''' Hooray!
235** In ''WesternAnimation/ChickenRun'', [[HenpeckedHusband Mr. Tweedy]] is a lot stouter than his LeanAndMean [[BigBad wife]], but he's also significantly shorter, in no small part due to his permanent stoop.
236** ''WesternAnimation/{{Encanto}}'' has Pepa being married to Felix with the former being visibly a head shorter than the latter who is short and stocky compared to Pepa's tall and thin. Platonically, she also serves as the huge girl to [[spoiler: Bruno's]] tiny guy, the latter being visibly shorter than both Julieta and the aforementioned Felix.
237** Hyacinth Hippo and Ben Ali Gator on the "Dance of the Hours" segment of ''WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia}}''. HenpeckedHusband Flying John and his domineering wife in the "Rhapsody in Blue" segment of ''WesternAnimation/Fantasia2000''.
238** In ''WesternAnimation/AGoofyMovie'', a couple like this shows up in the "On the Open Road" musical number, with the husband even having a high-pitched voice and the wife having a low-pitched voice. It turns out the husband's a roadie for Powerline and the wife [[spoiler: is a back-up singer with an amazing voice]].
239--->'''Husband:''' Just a week of rest and relaxation...\
240'''Wife:''' Yeah!\
241'''Husband:''' ...and the odd romantic episode!\
242'''Max:''' VERY odd!
243** In ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph'', [[spoiler:[[MasculineGirlFeminineBoy Fix-It Felix Jr. and Sgt. Tamora Jean Calhoun]]]] take it to an extreme. The top of his head just barely reaches her hips. This is due to them belonging to vastly different aesthetics. He's a cartoony, Mario-like character from an '80s arcade game, while she's more realistically-proportioned ([[ImpossibleHourglassFigure mostly]]) and from a modern first-person shooter.
244* The couple in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=4PTjT4U7Fsk&feature=endscreen Dodudindon]]''. The woman is a BigBeautifulWoman and the man is small, short, and scrawny in comparison to her (and he wants her oh, so badly).
245* Ted and Audrey from ''WesternAnimation/TheLorax2012''. A more comedic example is the Once-ler's Uncle Ubb and Aunt Grizelda from the same movie. Grizelda isn't just taller than Ubb, [[ChubbyMamaSkinnyPapa she's also very fat]].
246* ''WesternAnimation/MonsterHouse'': Mr. Nebbercracker and Constance the Giantess.
247* In ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc'', Mike Wazowski and his girlfriend Celia Mae. She's roughly the height of a human adult, whereas he's basically a basketball-sized eyeball on legs.
248* In ''WesternAnimation/MonstersVsAliens'', Susan was still engaged to a normal man when she grew to (almost!) 15 meters tall.
249* ''WesternAnimation/OliverAndCompany'':
250** Tito the chihuahua and Georgette the poodle, though it's mostly an unrequited crush from Tito to Georgette until the end. [[spoiler:At that point, Tito wants to get away from Georgette.]]
251** Dodger and Rita also fit this trope as Rita is clearly taller than Dodger.
252* A double-feature from ''WesternAnimation/{{Planes}}'': Dusty Crophopper, the protagonist, is significantly smaller than his {{Love Interest|s}} Ishani, but their size difference is nothing compared to that between Rochelle and El Chupacabra.
253* ''Anime/PonyoOnTheCliffByTheSea'': Ponyo's parents. Her mother, Granmammare, can hold her father Fujimoto in the palm of her hand when she's at full size. He's not particularly tiny, though -- she's just ''really'' big. Just to make it clear, Granmammare is the personification of the ''ocean''! Fujimoto used to be a regular human, and now at least still ''appears'' human. Thus, it's extremely understandable that she'd be bigger than him.
254* ''WesternAnimation/QuestForAHeart'': Millie the elf girl is a lot taller than the male rollis Rölli, Lackey, Cacophony, and Longwind, who she goes on the titular quest with.
255* Mehitabel the cat and Archy the cockroach from ''WesternAnimation/ShinboneAlley''.
256* Donkey and Dragon from ''Franchise/{{Shrek}}''. Also Farquaad and Fiona in the [[WesterNAnimation/Shrek1 first movie]], for the brief time that they're together.
257* In ''WesternAnimation/Sing2'', there’s Buster Moon and Suki Lane. Suki is like a 10-foot pole compared to Buster (who already has a Napoleon-complex to begin with).
258%%* In ''WesternAnimation/StrangeMagic'', [[spoiler:Dawn and Sunny]].
259* ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperMarioBrosMovie'': Much like the [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros source material]], Princess Peach is shown to be a head or two taller than Mario. Peach specifically brings this up when they first meet, as she questions if Mario is indeed human considering he's closer in height to her Toad subjects than to her.
260* In the opening sequence of ''WesternAnimation/TheTripletsOfBelleville'', the audience consists ''entirely'' of tiny men and their enormous wives. The influence of Albert Dubout (see Arts above) is likely.
261* In ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory2'' and ''[[WesternAnimation/ToyStory3 3]]'' Buzz is noticeably shorter then Jessie. It helps that they're both toys from different times and companies.
262* In the animated segments of ''Music/TheWall'', the schoolmaster's psychotic wife is portrayed as a fat giant who towers over her marionette husband, even when she's sitting down and he's standing.
263* ''WesternAnimation/WallE'' has WALL-E and EVE. It should noted that even though they're not ''technically'' male and female because they are genderless robots, their [[MasculineLinesFeminineCurves character designs]] and voice actors give them masculine and feminine features respectively.
264* ''WesternAnimation/TheWild'' has a one sided romance between a ''[[InterspeciesRomance squirrel]]'' [[InterspeciesRomance and a giraffe.]] [[spoiler: The giraffe finally returns his feelings in the end.]]
265[[/folder]]
266
267[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
268* ''Film/AttackOfThe50FootWoman'': Being the titular 50-foot (15 meters) woman, Nancy Archer towers over her husband, Harry.
269* ''Film/{{Avatar}}'': It's only actually seen once, but Jake is considerably shorter than his 3-meter eventual spouse Neytiri, though in all but one scene, he interacts with her through his equally tall Avatar which he eventually permanently uploads into.
270* In ''Film/BackToSchool'', 5'7" Keith Gordon (James Melon) dates 6'0" Creator/TerryFarrell (Valerie); he practically needs to stand on his toes to kiss her.
271* PlayedForLaughs in ''Film/BeverlyHillsCopII'', where 5'9" Creator/EddieMurphy tries tiptoeing to look taller next to 6'0" Creator/BrigitteNielsen. He also cracks jokes about her height.
272* In Creator/FedericoFellini's ''[[Film/FellinisCasanova Casanova]]'', 6'4" Creator/DonaldSutherland is literally dwarfed by 7'7" Sandra Allen, the world's tallest woman at the time.
273* In ''Film/DeepImpact'', 5'5" Creator/ElijahWood and 5'10" Creator/LeeleeSobieski are paired together.
274* ''Film/ADogsPurpose'' has Toni and Roxy. Toni is a Pembroke Welsh Corgi and Roxy is a Landseer. Roxy is over twice Toni's size. To him, it is LoveAtFirstSight and they become inseparable.
275* Lux (the barbarian) and Nim (the halfling) in ''Film/DungeonsAndDragonsWrathOfTheDragonGod''. They're not exactly an item, per se, but they do get several instances of [[ShipTease Ship Teasing]].
276* ''Film/EllaEnchanted'' has Slannen the elf (who's slightly smaller than a human man) falling in love with Brumhilda the giantess.
277* Downplayed in ''Theatre/AFunnyThingHappenedOnTheWayToTheForum'', where Pseudolus (played by the 5'11" Zero Mostel) ends up with Gymnasia (played by the 6'2" Inga Neilsen).
278* Moranis was not so lucky in ''Film/Ghostbusters1984'', where he tried to court 5'11" Creator/SigourneyWeaver, however, she chose 6'1" Creator/BillMurray instead.
279* Relatively speaking in ''Film/{{Godzilla 2014}}''. The male MUTO is perhaps 25% the size of the female it mates with. A case of ShownTheirWork, given that many arthropods, arachnids, and insects display [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_dimorphism#Species_with_larger_females_than_males sexual dimorphism in favor of the female]] (read: the female of the species is normally larger than the male.)
280* In ''Film/GrumpyOldMen'' and ''Film/GrumpierOldMen'' 5'5" Creator/KevinPollak is paired with 5'10" Creator/DarylHannah.
281* ''Film/Hairspray1988'': Mr. and Mrs. Turnblad. Admittedly, the mother is played by a man in drag, but it's played straight in both movies and the [[Theatre/{{Hairspray}} theatre adaptation]].
282* ''Film/Hairspray2007'': Penny is noticeably taller than Seaweed.
283* In ''Film/HarryPotterAndTheGobletOfFire'', Hagrid unsuccessfully tries to court Madam Maxime; both are half-giants, but Maxime is more than a head taller than him.
284* In ''Film/TheHobbitTheDesolationOfSmaug'', KĂ­li (a Dwarf) finds the captain of Thranduil's guard, Tauriel, to be quite attractive. She does not appear to mind the attention.
285* In ''Film/HoneyIShrunkTheKids'' and ''Film/HoneyIBlewUpTheKid'' 5'4" Creator/RickMoranis and 5'8" Creator/MarciaStrassman are playing husband and wife. [[spoiler: It gets even more obvious in the climax of "Blew Up the Kid" when Diane gets turned into a 250-foot tall giant.]]
286* ''Film/TheHungerGames'' has Katniss Everdeen, played by 5'7" (170 cm) Creator/JenniferLawrence and Peeta Mellark, played by 5'5" or 165 cm (and not exactly broadly built) Creator/JoshHutcherson. It almost looks like she could bench-press him.
287* ''Film/JulieAndJulia'': Julia Child (Creator/MerylStreep) and her sister (Creator/JaneLynch) are both about 6'2" (188 cm) (in TheFifties, where the average ''man'' ls around 5'8" (173 cm)) and both fall for guys who are a head shorter, despite Julia's attempt at setting her sister up with a guy who's taller. ("What's he like?" "He's... [[DamnedByFaintPraise tall]].")
288* ''Film/{{Kisapmata}}'': Mila is noticably taller than her husband Noel. This is discussed InUniverse by [[BigBad Dadong]], who uses that observation to mock Noel.
289* In ''Film/TheLittleRascals'' short "Thundering Fleas", after seeing one of her sister's wedding rehearsals, Mary decides to pretend marry Joe. Mary is a lanky girl while Joe is a chubby, short boy.
290* In ''Film/LittleShopOfHorrors'', Moranis (Seymour) and 5'6" (plus large heels) Ellen Greene (Audrey) fall in love with each other.
291* In ''Love Laughs at Film/AndyHardy'', Andy (5'2" Creator/MickeyRooney) has a date with Coffy Smith (6’2” Dorothy Ford).
292* ''Film/{{Manhattan}}'' pairs 5'5"/165 cm Creator/WoodyAllen with 5'11"/180 cm Creator/MarielHemingway (who's also [[MayDecemberRomance much younger]] than Allen--both Allen and his character were forty-two, while Hemingway was ''sixteen'' and playing a seventeen-year-old). There's also Creator/DianeKeaton (5'7"/169 cm) and her ex-boyfriend Creator/WallaceShawn (5'2"/157 cm).
293* Creator/TomHolland (5'7) as Peter Parker is notably one of the very few male superhero leads in ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'' to be visibly shorter than the leading female of his respective movies (besides 5'7 Creator/RobertDowneyJr and 5'9 Creator/GwynethPaltrow but the former is [[ScullyBox made to look taller to hide this]]) which includes both his love interests Liz (played by 5'9 Creator/LauraHarrier) in ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'' and MJ (played by 5'10 Creator/{{Zendaya}}) in ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'' & ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome''.
294* In ''Film/NapoleonDynamite'', Kip falls in love with a girl named Lafawnduh, who is one... maybe two heads taller than him.
295* ''Film/{{Norbit}}'': Rasputia is enormously overweight, compared to the very skinny Norbit. She is also taller than him.
296* Referenced in ''Film/OceansEleven'', in which Saul objects to Tess being Benedict's girlfriend on the grounds that she's too tall for him. Presumably Saul finds this trope disagreeable.
297* The 2005 version of ''Film/TheProducers'' pairs Broderick up with the 5'11" Creator/UmaThurman.
298* The average height, gaunt Kyle and amazonian BBW Rhonda in ''Film/RoadTrip'' in addition to the 5'3 (160 cm) lead Josh and both his love interests.
299* 5'6" Creator/JackBlack and 5'9" Creator/GwynethPaltrow in ''Film/ShallowHal''.
300* In the 2004 remake of ''Literature/TheStepfordWives'', 5'7 1/2" Creator/MatthewBroderick and 5'10" Creator/NicoleKidman are playing husband and wife, and no attempt is made to conceal the height difference.
301* In ''Film/TransformersDarkOfTheMoon'', 5'9" Rosie Huntington Whiteley was cast as Carly, replacing 5'4" Creator/MeganFox in the role. Whiteley was concerned that she'd tower over 5'8" Creator/ShiaLaBeouf, her love interest in the film, and wanted to wear flat shoes. However, director Creator/MichaelBay insisted she should wear heels, because "we're giving short guys hope".
302* ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'':
303** Roger and Jessica Rabbit. He doesn't reach her ''waist''.
304** Dolores and Eddie Valiant. Far from as drastic and so much less noticeable, but still she has several inches on him.
305[[/folder]]
306
307[[folder:Jokes]]
308* A very tall girl standing 188 cm goes to her doctor for advice. She explains that her boyfriend has dwarfism and is only 122 cm tall. Embarrassed, she explains her concerns to the doctor: "Will we... you know... be able to ''do it''?" The doctor ponders on this for a second or two and then smiles. "There should be no problems at all. The human race encompasses all shapes and sizes and there's nothing physical that's going to prevent you both from enjoying a healthy sex life... The problem is, you won't have anyone to talk to."
309* A MathematiciansAnswer pun (often told about famously short author Creator/HarlanEllison, for example):
310-->'''Tiny Guy:''' What would you say to a little fuck?\
311'''Huge Girl:''' I'd say: "Hello, little fuck."
312[[/folder]]
313
314[[folder:Literature]]
315* ''Literature/AnonymousRex'' - Vincent, a velociraptor, is naturally much smaller than his friend and colleague, Glenda, a hadrosaur. At one point, Vincent steps onto Glenda's shoulders to reach a high drainpipe, noting that he felt "like a young son sitting on his mother's shoulders to watch a parade."
316* The ''Literature/AToZMysteries'' book ''The Empty Envelope'' gives us the two stamp thieves Otto Bird and Doris Duncan.
317* Luchino from ''Literature/{{Baccano}}'' is a smallish teenage boy. [[CoolBigSis Aging]], on the other hand, stands well over two meters and is described as having a build like Michelangelo's David, but with breasts and 50% more muscle. Luchino barely reaches up to her chest.
318* In ''Literature/BrimstoneAngels'', [[TheHeart Brin]] is visibly shorter than [[spoiler: his girlfriend]] [[CuteBruiser Havilar]]... even when you don't take her [[HornedHumanoid horns]] into account. WordOfGod notes that they genderflip a lot of other stereotypes; Brin is a NonActionGuy and Havi's a highly skilled fighter, and he's a ShelteredAristocrat incognito while she's a sharp-tongued commoner.
319* In ''Literature/TheCityWithoutMemory'', the planet Krina is home to two humanoid subspecies: the atani pygmies and the humans who are practically identical to the ones on Earth. They can interbreed, sometimes invoking the trope.
320** Dr. Crack, an atani, is married to a human woman. Even though she’s not too tall by human standards, she towers over him.
321** Veri-Meri wants to marry Squirrel, who is extremely short (she is even able to disguise herself as an atani). Problem is, Veri-Meri is also extremely short – by atani standards. He solves the problem by standing on stilts. She rejects him anyway – not due to the height difference but because he’s a ManipulativeBastard.
322* Two thirds of ''{{Literature/Dinoverse}}'' has a girl in the body of a big, vaguely UsefulNotes/TyrannosaurusRex-ish dinosaur and the boy interested in her in something smaller. [[{{Tomboy}} Patience]] becomes a 9 meter Acrocanthosaurus while Will is a 3 meter Deinonychus; Claire becomes a 12 meter Carcharodontosaurus while [[SurferDude Aaron]] is a 6 meter and more lightly built Dilophosaur.
323* ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'':
324** The short, skinny Sam Vimes ends up marrying the extremely well-built Lady Sybil, who's described as looming over him when they first meet.
325** In ''Literature/{{Thud}}'', pipsqueak Nobby Nobbs dates 1.8 meter stripper Tawneee.
326** Casanunda, TheCasanova dwarf who dates human women, has "Stepladders Repaired" as one of the claims on MyCard.
327** Greengrocer Arthur Winkling suffers from late-onset vampirism and is a HenpeckedHusband to his domineering human wife, who expressly forbids him from doing all that business with flighty young women in underwired nightdresses who are no better than they should be. A subversion and a ShoutOut to Gomez and Morticia Addams.
328** In ''Literature/GuardsGuards'', the hero of the climax ends up with a lady considerably larger than him. [[spoiler:The swamp dragon Errol, think lap cat size, ends up wooing the huge Noble Dragon who was terrorizing the city.]]
329* In the ''Series/DoctorWho'' Literature/EighthDoctorAdventures book ''[[Recap/EighthDoctorAdventuresVanishingPoint Vanishing Point]]'', Fitz's GirlOfTheWeek is at least 198 cm (and extremely {{Moe}} -- she has an odd, asymmetrical face and badly mismatched legs that give her a limp, and is [[TheIngenue extremely sheltered]] thanks to a benevolent variant of MadwomanInTheAttic). It's never quite clear how tall ''he'' is, and he sometimes seems to feel he's JustForFun/{{egregious}}ly tall, but in this book he's implied to be shorter than the 173 cm Doctor. They're both skinny, though.
330* In the ''Tamuli'' sequel series to ''Literature/TheElenium'': Kring and Mirtai, a bowlegged Peloi shrimp who was BornInTheSaddle and an Atan ActionGirl "giantess" (courtesy of selective breeding) respectively, have a mutual interest; [[spoiler:she eventually consents to marry him]]. They bond over their respective ProudWarriorRaceGuy traditions.
331* The ''Literature/GarrettPI'' novels' AmazonianBeauty Winger and "the Remora", her shrimp of a boyfriend/biographer.
332* Sera Vorder and Francis Love Skelbrooke from ''Goblin Moon'' and ''The Gnome's Engine''. She's so tall and sturdy that she's embarrassed about it, he's petite [[spoiler: due to faerie blood]] and (deceptively) delicate-looking.
333* ''Literature/HarryPotter'':
334** Hagrid's parents are a normal-sized wizard and a [[OurGiantsAreBigger literal giant]]. How, you ask? AWizardDidIt!
335** Monsieur Delacour (no first name given) is described as short and plump, while his wife Apolline is a head taller than him.
336** The twentieth-anniversary edition of [[Literature/HarryPotterAndThePhilosophersStone the first book]] mentions that Hogwarts professors Pomona Sprout and Filius Flitwick had a relationship in the past and remain AmicableExes. Both are described as short, but Sprout is within a typical human range while Flitwick's diminutive stature, reportedly due to distant goblin ancestry, is repeatedly mentioned throughout the series.
337* ''Literature/HonorHarrington'':
338** Honor is 6'2" (188cm) and Paul Tankersley was about 5'6" (168cm), but powerfully built. He spent a lot of time teasing her and giving her sexually laden grief about it before he had a bridge dropped on him. Later she got a more equal match, as [[spoiler:Hamish Alexander]] is about the same height.
339** Anton Zilwicki and Cathy Montaigne just keeps the proportion. He is about 5'6" (168 cm) tall and just as broad; she's about 6' (183 m) tall and ''extremely'' lanky.
340** Victor Cachat is described as average in size, slim and wiry. His girlfriend is the product of generations of selective breeding for size and strength and described as an 'ogress' by people first meeting her.
341* In ''Literature/TheIronTeeth'' web serial two of the bandits in Herad's band are Geralhd and Vorscha. The two are implied to be an item, and Geralhd is described as small man while Vorscha is a very tall and muscular woman.
342* In John Crowley's ''Literature/LittleBigOrTheFairiesParliament'', Smoky Barnable, height unspecified but described as short, marries Daily Alice Drinkwater (over 1.8 m). Toward the end of the story, though, the size disparity becomes ... much larger.
343* Mr. and Mrs. Wormwood of ''Literature/{{Matilda}}'': Mr. Wormwood is illustrated as very thin while Mrs. Wormwood is at least twice his size (but the same height).
344* In ''Literature/LesMiserables'', Creator/VictorHugo describes Monsieur Thénardier as "a skinny little runt" and Madame Thénardier as "tall, blond, ruddy, barrel-like, brawny, boxy, huge, and agile."
345* In MotherGoose nursery rhymes, there's Jack Sprat and his wife[[note]]Jack Sprat could eat no fat/His wife could eat no lean...[[/note]]. Jack is usually depicted as small and very thin, while his wife is not only OneHeadTaller but three or four times ''wider'' than him.
346* The Literature/MythAdventures books imply that Aahz and Tananda had a fling in the past. Tananda is tall enough to have subjected Skeeve to MarshmallowHell in the graphic novel of ''Another Fine Myth'', and Aahz is shorter than Skeeve.
347* In the ''Literature/{{Outlander}}'' series, Brianna "Bree" Frasier-[=MacKensie=], a redhead who stands nearly six feet tall, is once hit upon by Roger, a much shorter British soldier who allegedly has a thing for giantesses. His mates jokingly say he would need a stepladder just to kiss her.
348* In the ''Literature/ProtectorOfTheSmall'' quartet, Keladry's father is about 162 cm, while her mother is a good several centimeters taller. Kel inherited her mother's height, but [[MaybeEverAfter it looks like]] she doesn't hook up with any guy that's shorter than her.
349* In ''Literature/RallyRoundTheFlagBoys'', Laura Beauchamp is taller and far more energetic than her husband Willard.
350* In ''A Real Princess'' series by Alexandra Yegorushkina, Dis is of normal height and build (for a dwarf lady, meaning shortish and chubby by human standards), while her love interest Kirn is extremely short and thin for a dwarf.
351* In ''Literature/RuslanAndLudmila'', the dwarf evil wizard Chernomor abducts Ludmila, who is considerably taller than him. It's mentioned it's not the first time he has tried to hit on human women.
352* In ''Literature/SewerGasAndElectric'', Harry Gant's mother is a tall, husky construction forewoman, while his father is a short, rather frail history buff.
353* ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'':
354** Jaime's aunt Genna, who is huge in every way, and her husband Emmon Frey, a little wisp of a man.
355** [[BrawnHilda Brienne]] is taller than both her love interests: Jaime's about 188 cm and Renly about 191 cm, while Brienne is 196 cm. (Creator/GeorgeRRMartin's precise words when asked how tall she is are: "Taller than both Renly and Jaime and significantly heavier [more muscular] than either of them... a bit shorter than the Hound, maybe roughly the same height as Robert [Baratheon].")
356** Due to Tyrion Lannister's dwarfism, this trope applies to him and his love interests all the time. Not PlayedForLaughs when Tyrion is forced to marry Sansa Stark for political reasons, and she refuses to bow down to allow him to remove her cloak at the marriage ceremony; Tyrion has to be picked up so he can reach her, to the derision of the witnesses.
357*** It's especially noticeable in the show, as Book Sansa is a fairly normal-sized twelve-year-old while Show Sansa is 179 cm. Of course, Show Tyrion (135 cm) is taller than Book Tyrion (a little under 1.2 m), but not enough to make up the difference.
358* In ''Literature/TechnomagiaISmoki'', Lampart, who despite the name is rather a SquishyMage, is introduced lusting over Siballa, a BrawnHilda (at least in the narrator's point of view) [[FantasyCounterpartCulture fantasy viking]] warrior. The [[FirstPersonSmartass narrator]] notes Lampart only reaches Siballa's breast and is worried about the mage's obsession. When Lampart gets the opportunity to actually talk to her, they get on like house on fire and become a couple in a matter of days (Siballa tells fascinating stories and is pretty smart, if uneducated, so it's not as unequal as it sounds). Towards the end of the story, they even get married (sort of).
359* In the children's book ''Tiny and Mister Bigman'', Tiny is the definition of AmazonianBeauty, a 196 cm strong as an ox Jamaican woman with a voice like a hurricane that [[NoGuyWantsAnAmazon unintentionally frightens all the men on the island]] and Mister Bigman is a 162 cm scrawny almost deaf white man on vacation from somewhere. They fall in love almost the moment they meet.
360* ''Literature/VorkosiganSaga'':
361** Miles Vorkosigan HasAType. The only adult woman in his life that was not at least OneHeadTaller than his own four-foot-ten-on-a-good-day (147cm) height was [[TheVamp more interested in his foster brother than him]]. The two most notable examples are his first crush Elena Bothari (around 5'10" / 178cm) and the experimental SuperSoldier he rescued and named Taura (around 8' / 2.4m).
362** In the short story "Winterfair Gifts", a member of House Vorkosigan's personal guard (Armsman Roic, a rather tall and powerfully built fellow by ordinary standards) has an epiphany after coming face to bustline with Taura and nearly dislocating his arm helping with her luggage when she arrived to attend Miles' wedding. "This must be what it's like for M'lord... ''all the time''." Roic and Taura also arguably end up an example of this trope, though less dramatically so than Miles and Taura.
363* Creator/StephenKing's story "The Wedding Gig" features a 300-pound (145 kg) woman marrying a 90-pound (27 kg) man.
364* ''Literature/{{Wilt}}'': Henry and Eva. In line with author Creator/TomSharpe's female leads, Eva is an EarthMother, a very much larger-than-life woman who does everything to excess, including motherhood - she is mother to quad girls, also to Henry's discomfort. And they all take after Mum...
365[[/folder]]
366
367[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
368* Creator/PeterDinklage played one of [[Creator/TinaFey Liz Lemon]]'s [[GirlOfTheWeek guys of the week]] on ''Series/ThirtyRock''.
369* A non-romantic example in ''Series/{{Angel}}''; Lilah is only slightly taller than Lindsey, but her high heels make the height difference more significant.
370* Gaius Baltar and Six in ''Series/{{Battlestar Galactica|2003}}'' - 5'10" Tricia Helfer is several cm taller than 5'7" James Callis, and it doesn't hurt that she often wears heels.
371* Chummy (played by Creator/MirandaHart, see below) and Peter on ''Series/CallTheMidwife''. Chummy is just over 6'1" tall and Peter, her police sergeant husband, is approximately 5'8" tall. This would make him at the tall end of average from the time period (1950s), but compared to his wife he looks tiny; especially on the rare occasions she wears heels.
372* ''Series/{{Firefly}}'': Through the use of camera angles, Wash is portrayed as being a few cm shorter than his wife Zoe. On the DVD commentaries people actually express surprise at well how this works, since in real life Creator/AlanTudyk (Wash) is a few cm ''taller'' than Creator/GinaTorres (Zoe), and there was never anything blatant like [[ScullyBox standing on a box]] used to change anyone's height for the screen.
373* ''Series/{{Fleabag}}'': An ever-so-slight but still noticeable one with the titular character and her love interest "Hot Priest", played by 5'10" Creator/PhoebeWallerBridge and 5'8" Creator/AndrewScott, respectively.
374* ''Series/GetSmart'' tried to avert this: In close-up shots, Barbara Feldon always had to scrunch down to avoid towering over Don Adams. It couldn't be avoided in wide shots.
375* One episode of ''Series/TheGoldenGirls'' has Rose dating a little person. The episode largely focuses on whether or not she would be comfortable in the relationship, but she finally decides that it's okay. The punchline comes when he breaks things off with her... because she's not Jewish.
376* Invoked on an episode of ''Series/TheGoodPlace'' by Tahani (played by 5'11" Jameela Jamil, who usually also wore heels in the role) to Chidi (played by 5'8" William Jackson Harper).
377-->Tahani: '''"I'm just a girl....towering over a boy...."'''
378* Played straight on ''Series/HannahMontana'', when Miley ends up on a date with Oliver's friend Connor, who is noticeably shorter.
379* An episode of ''Series/HappyDays'' had Richie going to a Halloween party with a girl who was several inches taller than he was.
380* In ''Series/LALaw'', Stuart Markowitz and Ann Kelsey became a couple and eventually got married. Stuart was short and chubby, while she was much taller. This could also be added to real life examples since the actors were married in real life.
381* ''Series/LastOfTheSummerWine'': Wally and Nora Batty. Wally is short and very skinny and Nora is five centimeters taller, but substantially broader and deeper. Not to mention [[ApronMatron considerably more forceful]].
382* On a 2007 episode of ''Series/LawAndOrderCriminalIntent'', a murder case featured as potential suspects NoCelebritiesWereHarmed versions of Anna Nicole Smith and Howard K. Stern: a washed-up stripper named Lorelei Mailer [[BigBeautifulWoman (obviously meant to represent Smith during her "fat" years)]], and her common-law husband, who's a little shrimp.
383* ''Series/Miranda2009'': Comedienne Hart uses several variants on this theme. As Miranda stands 188 cm tall, the vast majority of men are a lot shorter than she is, anyway. Visual humour is mined by her pursuit of men of average height, about 175 cm. She adds an extra visual dimension to this gag by having the very petite actress Patricia Hodge playing her mother. Seeing the two acting a scene together, with 188 cm Miranda standing next to 155 cm Patricia, the mind is suitably boggled and you ask.... ''how?''
384* ''Series/{{Mom}}'': Bonnie was a head taller than Christy's father Alvin, much to Christy's annoyance she got her height from him instead of her mom.
385* Davy and the beautiful, tall laundromat owner in ''Series/TheMonkees'' episode "Monkees Get Out More Dirt".
386* ''Series/{{NCIS}}'': Abby dates a fellow scientist who is a little person. Abby being Abby, there's no indication she even notices his height until he dumps her for being too tall (an unfortunate development, as the breakup was actually due to [[TheCharacterDiedWithHim the death of the actor]]).
387* ''Series/NedsDeclassifiedSchoolSurvivalGuide'': In season one, Ned was much shorter than best friend and eventual love interest Moze. Somewhat averted in that by the time she started to become his love interest, he had nearly caught up to her in height.
388* ''Series/NeverHaveIEver'': Fabiola doesn't want to date Alex Gomez because he's way shorter than she is (that, and the fact that she's a lesbian). Devi encourages her to go for it anyway because he has a hot face, and they'd be "like Zayn and Gigi". Zayn Malik is not actually that much shorter than Gigi Hadid, only an inch, though the fact that she wears high heels at public events makes the height difference seem bigger than it is.
389* ''Series/SavedByTheBell'': Jessie was taller than most of her dates leading to an ImagineSpot [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEYAcLqR02w where she doesn't stop growing]].
390* On ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'', George has said he'd love to date a "giantess".
391* On ''Series/SexAndTheCity'', statuesque Samantha briefly dates an investment banker who's barely above 1.5 meters in height. She is pleased by his performance in the bedroom, likening him to a "horny smurf." While she initially wants to break up with him when she discovers that he buys his clothes at the children's department (they're cheaper and they fit him better), his sense of humor manages to save the day.
392* In ''Series/SpinCity'', Mike Flaherty briefly dates supermodel Heidi Klum and coworker Nikki Faber, who are both about a head taller than him.
393* ''Series/{{Survivor}}: Gabon'': Ken is the shortest, skinniest guy on the show, while his chief ally, Crystal, stands 6'3" (191cm) tall.
394* ''Series/That70sShow'' has two couples like this: Eric and Donna (who are also a subversion: they're actually about the same height, but Donna is ''way'' stronger whereas Eric is noted for his thinness), then Fez and [[HugeSchoolgirl Big Rhonda]]. In a WhatIf episode, Eric's Guardian Angel (played by Creator/WayneKnight) shows Eric what his future would be like if he had never dated Donna. In said future, he actually ends up losing his virginity to Big Rhonda. Bob and Pam might also count. Bob is by no means small, but Pam towers over him.
395* In ''Series/TrustUsWithYourLife'', Wayne gets paired with Serena Williams. [[MythologyGag The guy can't catch a break...]]
396* ''Series/Warrior2019'': It's only for one evening, but in season three Young Jun enthusiastically enjoys his time with a tall and extremely well built German sex worker named Valentina. Both of them are very clearly intrigued by the size difference, with Young Jun joking to his friends that he's probably going to die, but it'll be worth it, and Valentina referring to him as "My little Zeus".
397* C.J. Cregg (played by the ridiculously tall Creator/AllisonJanney) and Danny Concannon (who's just about normal height) on ''Series/TheWestWing''. {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d with C.J. and her TemporaryLoveInterest Agent Simon Donovan (played by Creator/MarkHarmon) when C.J. remarks that she really likes how tall Donovan is because "it makes [her] feel more feminine."
398* ''Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway'':
399** There was one episode with Creator/WayneBrady [[note]]the shortest of the players but highly agile[[/note]] singing to... [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCIak-w0DOc a female bodybuilder.]] They're actually about the same height, and she IS wearing heels but... she's a BODYBUILDER.
400** In another episode, during a playing of Greatest Hits about ''Series/XenaWarriorPrincess'', Wayne and Chip Esten have to sing a song called "Huge Women, Puny Men."
401* For a short time there on ''Series/TheWonderYears'', thanks to the vagaries of puberty, Winnie was significantly taller than Kevin.
402* In ''Series/WorkingClass'', Carli (played by Melissa Peterman, 5'9 1/2" or 177 cm) gets an internet date (played by David Faustino, 5'2 1/2" or 158 cm) to go to her boss's housewarming party with her. Numerous height jokes ensue. And then it turns out his ex-wife (played by Senta Moses, 4'11" or 150 cm) was invited to the same party.
403[[/folder]]
404
405[[folder:Music]]
406* Ragtime-era songs like "Can You Tame Wild Wimmen" (Sterling/Von Tilzer, 1918) tend to feature little guys terrified of their huge girlfriends/wives who, in classic slapstick tradition, usually use rolling pins as weapons.
407* 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."
408* The 1958 Bill Haley & His Comets classic "Skinny Minnie" is from the point of view of a shorter man dating a gal who is "1.8 m high and 30 cm thick."
409* Joan Armatrading's "I Love It When You Call Me Names" is about a "big woman and a short, short man."
410* The Music/{{Prince}} song "Raspberry Beret" includes the lines "Built as she was, she had the nerve to ask me / If I meant to do her any harm", the implication being that the woman's stature meant she should have had no reason to see the five-foot-two Prince as a threat.
411[[/folder]]
412
413[[folder:Music Videos]]
414* In the animation in the video for "Fritz, Fritz, Love My Tits".
415* [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porcelain_Black Porcelain Black]] (5'10"/178 cm) and Music/LilWayne (5'5"/165 cm) in Porcelain's [[https://youtu.be/i9LCHgpzfxQ video]] for "This Is What Rock N Roll Looks Like"; it doesn't help that she's wearing heels. Also an example of AWildRapperAppears.
416* Music/{{Lit}}'s Music/{{Miserable}}: The lead singer is implied to be in a relationship with the GiantWoman (played by Creator/PamelaAnderson) who is so much bigger than him that he and his band mates can ColossusClimb all over her body and use places like her hip, her face, or her butt as a stage while they play her their song. Considering the song's title and lyrics, and the fact that she [[spoiler: ultimately decides to to devour his friends right in front of him before swallowing him too,]] it's apparently a bad relationship.
417* In Panic by the Czech band Lucie, the lead singer is in a romantic relationship with a beautiful giantess in a red dress and high heels. By the end of the video he proposes to her and slips a ring on her finger. [[spoiler: She accepts, then she [[LiteralManeater eats him alive,]] [[SpitOutAShoe spits out his guitar]] and [[BurpOfFinality belches]].]]
418[[/folder]]
419
420[[folder:Myths & Religion]]
421* Myth/MesopotamianMythology has the primordial couple Abzu and Tiamat - representing fresh water and salt water respectively. Abzu was represented as a humanoid god with wings, while Tiamat is a mastodontic sea-serpent/[[OurDragonsAreDifferent dragon]] large enough that her carcass was used to form the heavens and the Earth.
422* A Myth/{{Native American|Mythology}} (possibly Navajo) legend features a giant who meets a human man and wants to try wife-swapping. The human woman is killed while the human man is dissolved.
423* In Myth/ClassicalMythology, the god Phorcys is a lobster-like merman, and his wife Keto is a ''sea monster''. Literally.
424[[/folder]]
425
426[[folder:Pinballs]]
427* Boris and Natasha from ''Pinball/TheAdventuresOfRockyAndBullwinkleAndFriends'', appropriately enough.
428[[/folder]]
429
430[[folder:Pro Wrestling]]
431* Puny manager Wrestling/HarveyWippleman and his huge "girlfriend", [[Characters/WWEDivas Bertha Faye]], from the WWF in the mid-90's.
432* When NYX wasn't booked to wrestle, she was most commonly booked for the visual gag of a giant {{dominatrix}} or {{bodyguard|babes}} shadowing a man. Since NYX was 6'5 260 lbs and the average man in the US is only 5'9, this visual could be pulled off even with genuinely tall, muscular men like the 6'2 220 lbs Devin Devine, but in most cases NYX would be paired with the smallest man available for giggles. Unfortunately most of her career was on the independent circuit during dialup internet, so the existing images are low quality.
433* In [[Wrestling/ImpactWrestling TNA]], 8-time X-division (read: small) champion Chris Sabin with the huge [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Alpha Female]].
434[[/folder]]
435
436[[folder:Puppet Shows]]
437* Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy of ''Franchise/TheMuppets'' is a famous example. They exaggerate the trope by playing on her HairTriggerTemper (made scarier by her size) and his meekness (made funnier by his size). Piggy's actually karate-chopped Kermit on occasion, thus bringing up [[DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale another trope]].
438[[/folder]]
439
440[[folder:Roleplay]]
441* A platonic example in ''Roleplay/DawnOfANewAgeOldportBlues''. Sebastian is 4'9", very short for his age and tied for the shortest member of the cast. His [[SymbioticPossession symbiotic ride-along]], Fesxis, is a whopping 9 feet, almost twice his height.
442[[/folder]]
443
444[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
445* In ''TabletopGame/BattleTech'', Victor Steiner-Davion is noted as being only 1.6 m, unusually short compared to the women he consorted with, neither of whom has a notable height.
446* In ''TabletopGame/{{Eberron}}'', House Tharashk is composed of a large group of human, orc, and half-orc families. Though the books don't dwell on it much, it's pretty clear that this relationship and [[HugeGuyTinyGirl its inverse]] are very common, whether through [[KissingCousins clan endogamy]] or unrelated humans and orcs marrying into the House.
447* ''TabletopGame/{{Rifts}}: Warlords of Russia'' has a lot of ShipTease between Warlords Kolodenko and Romanov. Kolodenko is a baseline Human, while Romanov is a ten-foot-tall combat cyborg.
448* In ''TabletopGame/RocketAge'', Maduri men aren't exactly small, towering over most humans, but the women are giants, more heavily muscled and tusked. This is due to genetic engineering; the women were engineered for defence, while the men were engineered for offence.
449[[/folder]]
450
451[[folder:Theatre]]
452* The all-male comedy ballet troupe Creator/LesBalletsTrockaderoDeMonteCarlo makes a point of casting a huge guy in the lead female role and a tiny guy in the lead male role in ''Theatre/SwanLake'', just for the comic effect it gives to some of the traditional ballet moves.
453* A 2007 production of Creator/WilliamShakespeare's ''Theatre/{{Cymbeline}}'' cast David Collings as King Cymbeline and the much taller (and younger) Creator/GwendolineChristie as the [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen villainous queen]].
454* The ghost of Frumah-Sarah in ''Theatre/FiddlerOnTheRoof'' is commonly depicted as towering over Tevye (usually by means of a TotemPoleTrench). Since the musical number in which she appears is a story made up by Tevye, it's unclear if this was ever actually the case when she was alive.
455* The Geekenders production of ''Theatre/TheRockyHorrorShow'' (at least, with the cast in the youtube recording, as they've had a few different casts) has quite a tall Magenta (effect increased by HighHeelPower) and a Riff Raff who's even shorter than he is in the film. He buries his face in her chest after Frank whips him.
456[[/folder]]
457
458[[folder:Video Games]]
459* ''VideoGame/AeroTheAcroBat'': Aero's girlfriend, Aerial, is about a head taller than Aero himself.
460* The {{Love Interest|s}} of ''VideoGame/{{Alundra 2}}'', Princess Alexei is 2 times the height of the main character, Flint. She's standing on a lower elevation in the kiss scene at the game's end.
461* From ''VideoGame/ArTonelicoQogaKnellOfArCiel'', there's the diminutive scientist Katene and [[spoiler:Mute]], who towers over him in terms of both height and muscularity... well, [[VoluntaryShapeshifting most of the time]], anyway. They're embarrassingly and hilariously lovey-dovey together.
462* In ''Metal Combat'' (the sequel to ''VideoGame/BattleClash''), the alien Zephyr has a huge and hideous wife named Pamela who is a good deal taller and wider then him. Even her mech is huge!
463* ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'' has the married couple of Nine and Jubei. Nine is a tall, powerful witch who has a pretty impressive chest to boot, not to mention wearing stiletto boots. Meanwhile, Jubei is a humanoid cat, even shorter than preteen Carl Clover, but quite the PintSizePowerhouse. [[BattleCouple Both of them are part of the legendary Six Heroes]] and it seems they [[http://t15.deviantart.net/hQujkE30AcwRxAJmWiQvawmTBd0=/fit-in/700x350/filters:fixed_height(100,100):origin()/pre09/2980/th/pre/f/2017/048/6/4/wedding_picture_by_fu_reiji-dazghdh.jpg used to be quite in love]]. They even had a child: [[GadgeteerGenius Kokonoe]].
464* Every kissable female in ''VideoGame/{{Bully}}'' is a [[OneHeadTaller head taller]] than our protagonist, except for Eunice who is still physically larger than him.
465* Ayla and Kino in ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger''. Ayla is over 1.8 meters tall, ridiculously strong to the point of outperforming even advanced robots, and towers over basically everybody except Robo (who is a lot taller and larger than he looks in-game in official art). Kino is about the same height as Marle (second shortest character after Frog), not to mention a complete wimp. Additionally, it's mentioned that their relationship is a gender-inverted form of WifeHusbandry, as Ayla found Kino as a child and raised him herself before taking him as a husband.
466* ''VideoGame/ConkersBadFurDay''. Conker seems to have a thing for taller women, given that he stands maybe up to his girlfriend Berri's kneecaps. But it truly becomes Huge Girl Tiny Guy when he meets Jugga, an enormous cavewoman. However, it doesn't work out between them.
467* ''VideoGame/CrashBandicoot'': Crash is about half the size of Tawna, his love interest in [[VideoGame/CrashBandicoot1996 the first game]].
468* Flonne at 157 cm from the ''Franchise/{{Disgaea}}'' series towers above the 130 cm Laharl, according to the supplementary art book; Etna is also about 13 centimeters taller than him. This doesn't really come across in the game proper very well, because almost all the cutscene portraits and character sprites are the same size. [[http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=652107 Some official art]] does show this though.
469* ''VideoGame/DragaliaLost'' has Faris and Ryszarda, two of the Apostles. While Faris isn't exactly short, his partner Ryszarda positively towers over him and the rest of the Apostles at over 6 feet tall.
470* ''Franchise/DragonAge'':
471** Dragons in this setting follow this. Male dragons are wingless and grow to be about the size of a large drafthorse. Females will eventually become massive High Dragons.
472** In ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'', this happens when romancing Leliana or Morrigan with a male dwarf or elf. However, in the romance scenes, the dwarf [[ScullyBox is taller]]. A female human PC romancing Zevran also counts, seeing as elves are shorter than humans.
473** Even in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'', where elves are generally taller, Fenris seems smaller than a female Hawke (and Isabela, his potential sex-buddy), perhaps because he's skinny and also slouches a lot.
474** In ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'', a female Adaar (Qunari) romancing Blackwall is a version of this. While Blackwall isn't tiny by any means, he's certainly very small in comparison to Adaar. A male Cadash (dwarf) romancing Cassandra or Josephine plays this straight.
475** Also, as seen in the spinoff comic series set between the second and third games, human Maevaris Tilani had this with her late fiance, Varric's cousin Thorold Tethras, who was a dwarf.
476* Nythera's parents in ''VideoGame/DragonFable''. Her father is a human wizard and her mother is a ''dragon''.
477* ''VideoGame/DragonQuestIV'': Torneko's wife is one head taller than him according to the ''Mystery Dungeon'' illustrations.
478* ''VideoGame/DragonsDogma'': Due to the the game's main feature of Pawns (you create a main Pawn to be your constant battle partner/follower), you can create a tall/muscular/plump woman as your main character, and then make a short/skinny man as your main Pawn (or vice versa).
479* ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'':
480** Throughout the series until ''Skyrim'', this was the case for the Bosmer (Wood Elves). Males are typically the shortest people in the game, while females are close to the average height of all races. ''Skyrim'' then did away with any notable height disparity in the race. Although this appears to be a one-off thing, as the males are back to being shorter than the females in ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsOnline''.
481** Aureals (aka Golden Saints) and Mazken (aka Dark Seducers), are two forms of [[OurDemonsAreDifferent lesser Daedra]] in service to [[MadGod Sheogorath]]. The females are considerably taller ([[MoreDeadlyThanTheMale and deadlier]]) than the males.
482** ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]'' introduces romance options to the series. This can easily happen if you play as a female character from a tall race (such as an Altmer) and marry a man from a shorter race (like a Breton), or vice versa.
483* ''VideoGame/EuropaUniversalis: TheMusical'', were it not an AprilFoolsDay joke, would have involved a romance between a male Ulm and a female France.
484* ''VideoGame/{{Fable}}'': In the [[VideoGame/FableII second game]] investing in Strength will give you muscles, while investing in Skill gives you height, meaning than a female character can potentially end up much taller and more burly than a husband. There is also a far bit of fan art with [[BrawnHilda Hammer]] and [[SquishyWizard Garth]] that strongly features this trope. In the third game, the Princess is taller than almost everyone else from the outset, possibly because of her Heroic bloodlines).
485* ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'': When Orion the Hunter is summoned, you get his [[BuxomBeautyStandard Buxom]] goddess girlfriend Artemis instead, while Orion is turned into a teddy bear.
486* The Viera race in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'' has this dynamic in contrast to the other playable races. The males are on average shorter compared to the females, with a 19 centimeter difference in height between the shortest male and the tallest female (roughly 7 inches in imperial units).
487* ''Franchise/FireEmblem'':
488** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade'': [[spoiler:Ninian]] and either [[spoiler:Hawkeye]] (platonic) or [[spoiler:Eliwood]] (romantic), as she's a ''[[OurDragonsAreDifferent literal dragon]]'' (okay, [[HalfHumanHybrid half-dragon]]). It only happens once, however, and involuntarily at that; normally, she's about Eilwood's height.
489*** Also, [[spoiler: Ninian (and Nils)'s parents. The mom was Aenir, a dragon woman; the dad was... Nergal, then a normal human shaman, and later the ArchnemesisDad. (She surely had a human form, if Ninian and Nils are an indication.)]]
490** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBindingBlade'': Fae and almost any male, but especially Elffin and Roy. Again, when she's in Dragon form.
491** ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheSacredStones The Sacred Stones]]'': Myrrh and either Saleh or Ephraim when she's in her real Dragon form. If she's not, she's the TokenMiniMoe instead.
492* ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'': the ChildMage Ricken, who is noted to be ''much'' shorter than the standard [[TheNapoleon and not very happy about it]], and several of his possible brides... including a [[PlayerCharacter Female Avatar]] with either "late teens" or "young adult woman" builds. The trick might also work if the player pairs up CountryMouse Donnel with taller women, again including a tall Female Avatar.
493** One can also customize a [[PlayerCharacter male Avatar]] to look as if he's around Ricken's height (via the "early teens" build), then pair him up with a taller lady like Panne, Miriel, Cordelia or [[spoiler: a HeelFaceTurn-ed Aversa]].
494** Might happen in the [[spoiler: Second Generation group]] if Kjelle, the tallest of the girls ''and'' a GlacierWaif, is paired up with Morgan, the smallest of the boys. The same happens if she's romanced by a Male Avatar with the "early teens" build.
495* While their in-game sprites make it hard to tell, ''VideoGame/FridayNightFunkin'' has Boyfriend and Girlfriend, the latter being OneHeadTaller than the former. The developers stated that it's apparently to the point that Girlfriend has to kneel down in order to make eye contact with Boyfriend, let alone hold hands.
496* In the secret ending of ''{{VideoGame/Grow}} Cinderella'', [[spoiler: the little purple Onky apparently manages to get in a relationship with Cinderella]], who is twice his size.
497* The first [[InterspeciesRomance interspecies couple]] in ''VideoGame/GuildWars2'', Nicholas and Yngvild, definitely qualify as this, as he's a human and she's a norn, making her about 2.4 meters tall.
498* The Harvest Goddess in ''VideoGame/HarvestMoonAnimalParade'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ESevObTPbU towers over the protagonist]]. In ''VideoGame/HarvestMoonIslandOfHappiness'', the extremely short chef Pierre is able to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qiv8ca03s4A be married by female players]].
499* ''VideoGame/JakAndDaxter'': An odd example between Daxter and Tess, considering that Daxter's not human. Although he [[ForcedTransformation used to be]]. [[spoiler:[[JerkassGenie Creative wish-granting]] on behalf of some {{Sufficiently Advanced|Alien}} {{Precursors}} evened things out, though.]]
500* ''VideoGame/JazzJackrabbit'' is considerably shorter than his love interest Eva Earlong.
501* ''VideoGame/TheLastOfUsPartII'': A platonic example. [[{{Deuteragonist}} Abby]] is a very tall, muscular woman in her early twenties who's partnered with a short twelve-year old named Lev. They're [[{{Foil}} foils]] to the [[ContrastingSequelProtagonist first game's leads]], a grizzled survivor [[OldSoldier Joel]], who's in his fifties, and fourteen-year old [[SignificantGreenEyedRedhead Ellie]].
502* ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'':
503** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask'' has Anju and Kafei, though this is only because Kafei was [[FountainOfYouth de-aged]] into a child by Skull Kid. [[spoiler:When returned to his true age at the end of the game, they're shown to be the same height.]]
504** In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'', [[spoiler:Midna's true form]] is quite the StatuesqueStunner. Combine this with the fact that Link is not exactly tall, and you get this.
505** In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'', the [[OneGenderRace Gerudo]] are portrayed as much taller on average than before, being over 2 meters tall at adult height. This makes this trope universal between them and their Hylian husbands. It ''could'' conceivably be averted if there were Gerudo women who fell in love with men of any of the non-human races, who are portrayed as being as tall as the average Gerudo, but no such pairing is depicted. Even in disguise asking the guard to go in, she'll comment that this "Gerudo" is too short, not tanned, and has blonde hair.
506*** One Gerudo actually has had dating trouble due to this trope! She's spending her days drinking her sorrows away because her newest beau doesn't "like girls twice [his] height", despite her only being 2.4 meters tall in her words.
507** Taken to the extremes in ''VideoGame/HyruleWarriors'': One of Link's "weapons" is the Great Fairy... which means you actually play as the gigantic Great Fairy while she [[{{Irony}} carries Link inside a bottle]], occasionally letting him out so they can do a combo attack before she sticks him back into the bottle.
508* While most of the Princesses in ''VideoGame/LittleKingsStory'' are taller then Corobo, two take it to ridiculous extremes. The Busty Princess Ferne is as tall as 4 Corobos. The obese Princess Spumoni is simply just far, far wider and taller then the poor little King.
509* The protagonist of NES game ''VideoGame/MenaceBeach'' is considerably smaller than his girlfriend.
510* Torahime and Kisuke from ''[[VideoGame/MuramasaTheDemonBlade Muramasa]]'', though this might just be because of the art style, since human enemies can be absolutely enormous for no reason. Kisuke is tiny no matter what, though. [[BrawnHilda Raijin]] and Fujin even moreso.
511* ''VideoGame/NierAutomata'': 2B and 9S. Their height difference isn't actually that big, but 2B's CombatStilettos make her stand a full head taller than 9S, making him seem much more small and delicate in comparison.
512* ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClank'': Ratchet is shorter than each of his [[GirlOfTheWeek Girls of the Week]] by variable amounts: maybe an inch or two shorter than Sasha, [[OneHeadTaller One Head Shorter]] than Talwyn, and ''at least'' a foot shorter than Angela. This has less to do with InterspeciesRomance than it does with Ratchet being just plain short. (Angela is the same species as Ratchet, though it's unknown whether this means that Ratchet is short for his kind or that female Lombaxes are naturally bigger than males, given that Angela is the only one that's actually been seen in the series.) Additionally, Dr. Nefarious [[UnholyMatrimony gets into a fling with the utterly massive Cassiopeia.]]
513* [[TheNapoleon Shoma]] and [[HugeSchoolgirl Natsu]] from ''VideoGame/RivalSchools'', though both have trouble [[CanNotSpitItOut expressing those feelings]] and spend their time [[TheMasochismTango arguing with each other]] [[SlapSlapKiss instead]].
514* ''VideoGame/RuneScape'' quest "Gunnar's Ground" has you assisting a dwarf poet in wooing a barbarian princess.
515* Taupy from ''VideoGame/SandsOfDestruction'' is a midget bearfolk who looks like an adorable pirate teddy bear. His wife Muffy also looks like a teddy bear, but is nearly two stories tall and gets summoned to ''[[FastballSpecial throw]]'' her husband at the enemy for his LimitBreak.
516* Thanks to the almost infinite customization of its avatars, it's not uncommon to see a wide disparity in heights between male and female "partners" in the online world ''VideoGame/SecondLife''.
517* The titular ''VideoGame/ShovelKnight'' has a downplayed example of this with his partner Shield Knight. While Shield Knight isn't drastically taller than Shovel Knight, Shovel Knight being shorter-than-average only reaches to her shoulders. PromotedToPlayable VillainProtagonist Plague Knight meanwhile plays this straight as his partner [[StatuesqueStunner Mona]] is among the tallest [=NPCs=] in the game. For reference, Plague Knight is the same height as Shovel Knight, and Plague Knight reaches about Mona's waist when she's standing.
518* Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog and the human [[DamselInDistress Princess Elise]] from ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006'', though any semblance of a romantic relationship [[{{Starboarding}} is primarily one-sided on Elise's part]].
519* ''VideoGame/SpyroTheDragon1998'': This is the dynamic of the {{mooks}} that have overrun Cliff Town and serve Doctor Shemp. The huge girls smack the tiny guys in Spyro's direction, though if he moves she may send them off a ledge and to their deaths.
520* ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'':
521** Peach is visibly (at least) OneHeadTaller than Mario, even when Mario has used a Super Mushroom, mostly because Mario is shorter than average. Perhaps one of the most famous examples in all media aside from Boris and Natasha. But this is a somewhat played-with trope in this case since in overall size, Mario is much bigger due to his stocky build and strong enough to throw heavy objects and enemies with ease, while Peach is slim, dainty, and feminine (but can also be just as strong as Mario depending on the game) . Not to mention the ''VideoGame/MarioKart'' series classifies Peach as either a lightweight or a middleweight, while Mario is always classified as a middleweight. However, it's still this trope at the core since she has to bend down to kiss her heroic plumber.
522** Sometimes with his brother Luigi, he alternates between being her size or shorter, but he is mostly shorter than her. In ''VideoGame/SuperMario3DWorld'', he is marginally shorter than her so they would share similar hitboxes.
523** Princess Daisy is slightly shorter than Peach, but is still a little taller than Luigi. Rosalina on the other hand, is much taller (she is approximately the same height as Waluigi). Even more so with Rosalina, who was seen as a giant at the end of both ''Galaxy'' games, and the ''VideoGame/MarioKart'' series games classes her as a heavyweight despite her slender PrincessClassic type delicate build. In ''Super Mario 3D World'', she is the same height as Peach, so Rosalina wouldn't have an unfairly large hurtbox as a playable character.
524* Promo material for ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' has repeatedly emphasized [[VideoGame/PunchOut Little Mac]]'s lack of height (he's 170 cm) by standing him next to the 191 cm [[Characters/MetroidSamusAran Samus Aran]]. Any romance is strictly in the eyes of fans, though.
525* ''VideoGame/SwordOfTheStars'':
526** The entire Zuul species. The top end of average height for male Zuul is 25 cm shorter than the bottom end of average height for female Zuul, and the difference in weight is even greater (45-70 vs. 175 kilos).
527** The Morrigi, as the males are small eastern dragon creatures with psychic glamour and the ladies are huge western dragons with the ability to terrorize foes with their version of psychic powers.
528* Milla and Jude from ''VideoGame/TalesOfXillia'' have this going on, with Milla standing at around 167 cm, while Jude is around 162 cm. This is justified by Milla being about five years older than Jude, who is 15.
529* Though the height difference is not as pronounced as other examples on this page, Omid from ''VideoGame/TheWalkingDead'' is noticeably shorter than his girlfriend Christa.
530* ''VideoGame/{{Warcraft}}'':
531** Handsome stag/centaur Zaetar had relations with the four-armed, three-faced, giant stone monster that is Princess Theradras. This also counts as HotGuyUglyWife.
532** Alexstrasza and Korialstrasz/Krasus. Although they're pretty close in height in humanoid form (him being about a head taller), in dragon form she's at least twice his size.
533** The [[InterspeciesRomance Wobblesprockets]] who can be found in Sholazar Basin: Marvin, a gnome, and Tamara, a human.
534** In a not-so-obvious example, there's the three [[InterspeciesRomance high elf/human pairs]] (the Windrunner sisters and their human partners); while in-game, the high/blood elves are about the same size as humans, in the official artwork the elves are nearly always depicted as being an entire head taller than the humans. The [[https://i.redd.it/l7762gcai5wz.png most clear example here]] would be Sylvanas, the middle Windrunner sister, and her human boyfriend Nathanos. Look at how she's an entire head taller!
535** Invoked in ''Battle for Azeroth'' in a minor quest chain where you help a goblin and a troll with getting two brontosaurs to mate to continue their species. Along the way, the male gets accidentally shrunk by the goblin's gadgets. Regardless, the quest chain ends with you successfully getting the female to accept the male. The goblin briefly wonders if they should restore the male to his original size, but the troll replies, "Nature will find a way. Now let's give them some privacy." Sure enough, you will soon start seeing [[BabiesEverAfter young brontosaurs]] all over the place.
536** Lor'themar Theron, regent lord of the blood elves, and First Arcanist Thalyssra of the nightborne, who become an OfficialCouple following the events of the Fourth War. She's at least a head taller than him. Lampshaded by Thalyssra in one of her quotes from ''Dragonflight'': "Ever since we began our relationship, the heels in Lor'themar's boots seem to be getting higher and higher!"
537* While the Sentients from ''VideoGame/{{Warframe}}'' [[StarfishAliens mostly aren't even the slightest bit humanoid]], there's still an undeniable example of this trope between their enormous leader Hunhow (who's estimated to be at least a kilometer tall and several kilometers wide) and his ''absolutely titanic'' mate Praghasa (whose central body is over ''a hundred'' kilometers long and nearly ten kilometers wide). As huge as Hunhow is, Praghasa makes him look like a ''toy'' next to her. Weirdly, their son and daughter are both only a few meters tall.
538* ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles2'': The main PowerTrio consists of TheHero Rex and his [[ArtificialHuman Blade]] companions [[PlayingWithFire Pyra]] and [[LightEmUp Mythra]]. Rex is always towered over by Pyra and Mythra, which the audience is constantly reminded of given their bonds and constant screen time with each other. It's helped by the fact that Rex is already short for his age given that he's in his teens, with his deep voice being the only indicator he's of age, whilst Pyra and Mythra each have the body of a [[MsFanservice full-figured]] StatuesqueStunner in order to emphasize their power and other-worldliness as Blades. Thus, Rex is shorter than most adults he comes across whilst Pyra and Mythra tower over them in turn.
539** Though he's not a human, Tora and [[spoiler: Poppi QT Pi]] can count as Nopon are usually short, with her even carrying him easily in her first appearance to emphasize this fact.
540** Emperor Hugo and Brighid in the prequel also count since [[AChildShallLeadThem he's still a boy]] while Brighid too is a StatuesqueStunner.
541** When Pyra and Mythra were added to ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'', they appeared [[YourSizeMayVary to get even taller]] and as Rex is now their AssistCharacter, this is pretty notable whenever he appears in animations with them. Pyra even bends down to get face to face with him when she excitedly greets him for the up taunt.
542[[/folder]]
543
544[[folder:Visual Novels]]
545* ''VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair'': [[spoiler: Peko and Fuyuhiko. Though she's only a little over 170 cm, she still is considerably taller than Fuyuhiko. She was raised alongside Fuyuhiko by his Yakuza family to be his own personal hitman and bodyguard]].
546* ''VisualNovel/HatofulBoyfriend'', due to the InterspeciesRomance. One event near the end of Shuu's route suggests a size increase in the sapient birds, but it's still made clear that the human girl is much larger than her love interests.
547[[/folder]]
548
549[[folder:Web Animation]]
550* ''WebAnimation/{{hololive}}'': This is Mori Calliope's preferred dynamic as stated multiple times, much to the delight of genmate Gawr Gura and Ironmouse of ''WebVideo/{{Vshojo}}''.
551-->'''Gura''': DID'YA HEAR THAT ?? SHE LIKES SHORT, IM IN
552* ''WebAnimation/MysterySkullsAnimated'': Lewis's beloved adoptive parents Mrs. and Mr. Pepper. In a character lineup he's one of the shortest adults in the series while she is the tallest human outside her incredibly tall adoptive son himself. Notably in a sticker where Lewis is hugging both of them he's picking up his father with one arm while just hugging his mother with the other.
553* ''WebAnimation/{{Satina}}'' has Dave, a normal sized guy and Lucia, the Queen of Hell, a GiantWoman.
554* ''WebAnimation/SheriffHayseed'': Mayor Joy is the only female of the four core characters, but she is the tallest of them, by far.
555[[/folder]]
556
557[[folder:Web Original]]
558* A non-couple example happened when Webvideo/TheCinemaSnob and Webvideo/DiamandaHagan did a crossover review of ''Film/MyraBreckinridge'', with the intro having her calling him 'shorty', and the response "I'm not short, you're just Creator/RichardKiel!" Once the review itself started, Brad is [[ScullyBox sitting on a pile of pillows]], which Diamanda is gleefully laughing about.
559* ''WebVideo/EmpiresSMP'' Season 1: Joel, who is on the shorter side (or average height) for a human man, is married to Lizzie, a 10-foot-tall demigoddess. This means he's quite literally [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GG-K4hdlrrg half her size]]... [[GameplayAndStorySegregation not that you'd be able to tell by looking at their characters in-game]].
560* ''Literature/LoomingGaia'':
561** Alaine and Glenvar are in an on-and-off relationship, and Alaine is about a head taller than Glenvar.
562** Dr. Che is a 5'4" tall male satyr and married to "Big Philly", who's a 8'5" tall female centaur.
563[[/folder]]
564
565[[folder:Webcomics]]
566* Dale and Nike from ''Webcomic/BadMoonRising''. Nike is a six foot tall amazonian werewolf. Dale is significantly shorter. This is also the default state for Peter and any girl he dates, thanks to having been born without legs.
567* Ed and Nina from ''Webcomic/BetweenFailures''. Ed is so short that he needs slightly platformed shoes to stand shoulder height to some of his other male co-workers, while Nina is so tall that most women's shirts fall above her navel.
568* [[AmazonianBeauty Gogo]] and Andy from ''Webcomic/{{Bomango}}'', especially since Andy is younger than her.
569* The eponymous character of ''Webcomic/TheChallengesOfZona'' makes her reasonably normal-sized boyfriend Mentl look like a freaky little midget by comparison.
570* Taken to extremes in ''Webcomic/{{Chimneyspeak}}'' where Elgie, who's under one meter, has had relationships, sort of, with the normal-sized Chelsea (when she wasn't trying to kill him) and Alice.
571* In the ''Webcomic/ComingToTheLavender'', Aaron is a 5'11 ft human while his girlfriend is an 8 ft tall sharp-toothed, 6-legged monster.
572* ''Webcomic/DanAndMabsFurryAdventures'':
573** Jyrras' parents: His father (a kangaroo rat) is about a third the size of his mother (a kangaroo). They met after the agency they had placed personals with [[http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_328.php got the species mixed up.]]
574** Jyrras himself follows suit, as a HopelessSuitor of Lorenda Soulstealer, who is at least twice his size [[BigBeautifulWoman and about four or five times his weight]]. Later on he starts dating Abel, who's also twice his height, but a guy ([[SexShifter usually]]).
575* The hyenas in ''Webcomic/{{Digger}}'' are all like this; hyena females are bigger and more aggressive than the males, like their RealLife counterparts. Most noticeable during Ed's backstory.
576* In the ''Webcomic/DrowTales'' universe, Drow are this by their very nature, as female Drow are both taller and physically stronger then the males of their race in general.
577* ''Webcomic/EnnuiGo'': In the second half of the comic, Calixta [[SheIsAllGrownUp gets a significant]] [[HugeSchoolGirl growth spurt]] and now towers over her boyfriend Max.
578---> '''Max:''' Wow, Calixta you...changed.\
579'''Calixta:''' Y-you think so?\
580''(The middle panel reveals that Calixta is now a foot or two taller than Max and he's looking up at her as she shyly looks down.)''\
581'''Max:''' Yeah a fuckin' little bit!
582** [[CuteMonsterGirl Frankie]], aka "[[FrankensteinsMonster Frankenhooker]]" and [[FriendlyGhost Ghost Boy]] are also an example, as the latter's barely tall enough to reach the former's sides when he isn't floating.
583* The first part of ''Webcomic/FairyTaleRejects'' features the tall centauress Elska adventuring with the short male satyr Itchy.
584* ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'':
585** [[ActionGirl Parley]] is more than OneHeadTaller than her boyfriend Smitty, and bulks up substantially from her MagicKnight training, to his [[AmazonChaser great appreciation]]. For their FirstKiss, he stands [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=789 one step higher]] than her on the stairs.
586--->'''TheRant:''' He better start carrying a footstool around.
587** The crustacean spouses Lindsey and Bud are this thanks to BizarreSexualDimorphism: [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=908 Bud]] fits in a water bucket while [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=861 Lindsey]] is a full-fledged SeaMonster.
588* ''Webcomic/HaruSari'': June is quite tall, while Chi-Min is short due to being an elf, which means he is permanently stuck in a prepubescent body.
589* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' has two such couples: [[DatingCatwoman Spades Slick/Snowman]] and WV/PM, whose height difference only gets larger after [[spoiler:PM [[ChessMotif becomes a queen]]]].
590* In ''Webcomic/TheLawOfPurple'', you have Memphis, who is a notably short human man, paired up with Sabre, the much taller than him Caligulan elf chick.
591* ''Webcomic/Level1Housewife:'' Angrboda is a hulking amazon swordswoman who has married a fruit merchant half her size and retired to domestic life. Her husband is only a little shorter than average, but she's a giant, and has trouble not injuring him when she shows him affection. (Fortunately, her great strength is a turn-on for him.)
592* ''Webcomic/ALoonaticsTale'': Jeff Nobelium and his wife. WordOfGod is that Mrs. Nobelium is about three Terbiums... and Terbium himself is worth around two or three Jeffs.
593* In webcomic ''Webcomic/TheMeek'', Luca is [[TheNapoleon a Napoleon]] with StoutStrength, while his wife Phe is a fairly tall woman. Guessing from the art, his forehead is about level with her nose.
594* In ''Webcomic/MerchantBand'', the two CatFolk bodyguards Bridget and Leif are this, with Bridget being taller and more muscular than her husband.
595* In ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'', one-meter halfling Belkar has sex with normal-sized human Jenny, and neither seems at all bothered by the size difference.
596* This trope is featured in [[http://i.imgur.com/EMtlaGi.png this]] ''Webcomic/{{Polandball}}'' comic, where "macho man" Georgia swears to help protect Fem!Ukraine against Russia. However, it doesn't exactly come off as gentlemanly due to the fact that he's disproportionately smaller than her. Ukraine accepts his help anyways. [[spoiler: And then comes Russia with a bat, who is ''way'' bigger than either of them. In a world where [[RuleOfSymbolism size represents military strength]], this isn't gonna turn out well.]]
597* Chris Morrison's ''[[http://www.polymer-city.com/ Polymer City Chronicles]]''. Dr. Otto Bonn, [=PhD=] is a scrawny man at 173 cm and 61 kg. His [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Blue Skinned Space Babe]] [[InterspeciesRomance of a wife]] Andrah, on the other hand, is a towering 216 cm (240 cm with her [[EightiesHair mohawk]]). She's not just taller than him either; [[AmazonianBeauty she's 176 kg. of pure muscle with strength 25 times that of an average human male]]; then again, [[AuthorAppeal almost]] ''[[AuthorAppeal every]]'' [[AuthorAppeal female]] in his comic is large-breasted and/or muscular [[note]]Andrah, in fact, [[WriteWhoYouKnow is based off an ex-girlfriend of Morrison's]], an amateur female bodybuilder who was approximately 188 cm, 90 kg.[[/note]] and [[MadeOfIron high resistance to injury]]. [[http://www.polymer-city.com/profiles.shtml According]] [[http://www.gamezero.com/team-0/comics/ to]] WordOfGod, Andrah also happens to be Otto's [[GeniusBruiser intellectual equal]] (as an esteemed mechanic with the [[{{Omniglot}} ability to translate any written or spoken language]]), and is the 26-year-old's senior by a margin of ''[[MayflyDecemberRomance 217 years]]''. They are such a [[BelligerentSexualTension Belligerent]] MoeCouplet, it's sweet.
598* ''Webcomic/RubysWorld'' has Jiro (188 cm) and Ruby (217 cm), providing a unique case of "Huge Guy, Huge-er Girl"
599* ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}'':
600** Crimeny and Fuchsia. He's barely up to her waist.
601** Slick and 'Nique, too. Actually, [[ManChild most of the male characters]] would end up fitting this trope if they had love interests...
602* A [[{{Polyamory}} polyamorous]] example exists in ''Webcomic/SlightlyDamned'', the [[MakingASplash water demon]] (which are the smallest of the [[OurDemonsAreDifferent demon breeds]] Lakritz is about a head shorter than his [[OurAngelsAreDifferent angel]] wife Kinako and he isn't even half the height or weight of their [[DishingOutDirt earth demon]] (also known as the largest demon breed) wife Sahne.
603* ''WebComic/StepMonster'': Matilda, the eponymous character, is a 600-pound, 8-foot-tall fluffy dragonlike creature. Her boyfriend, Roy Willscott, is a [[InterspeciesRomance human guy]] of average size. The same dynamic occurs between Matilda's brother Gordon and his fiancee Sasha; Gordon is about the same height as Matilda, while Sasha [[{{Sizeshifter}} can grow much bigger than him]]
604* ''Webcomic/SweetBroAndHellaJeff'': The beautiful "wonan" whom they both once dated at Subway is double their height and doesn't even completely fit into the panel size ([[StylisticSuck intentionally of course]]).
605* A non-romantic example from ''Webcomic/TiffanyAndCorey'': Tiffany is huge and Corey is tiny. Justified as Corey is just a little boy and Tiffany is a grown woman.
606* ''Webcomic/TuesdayTitans'': Titan/human partnerships to an extreme degree. Unavoidable when Titans are immense, genetically engineered {{Kaiju}}, and humans are, well... human. [[spoiler: Dillon, the human protagonist, looks like a bug compared to Lemony, his Titan partner.]]
607* Dominic and Sarah from ''Webcomic/{{Unreality}}'' fit into this trope quite nicely, as Sarah is a whopping 3 years older than her 13-year-old boyfriend Dominic, whose head is usually about level with her breasts.
608* Zoe, who is 179 cm, and Larson, who is 162 cm, from ''Webcomic/VenusEnvy'' play a (mostly) platonic version of this. When they first meet they bump into each other and Larson [[WouldHitAGirl tries to pick a fight]] until they get up and he notices how much taller she is than him.
609[[/folder]]

611[[folder:Western Animation]]
612* ''WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatianStreet'':
613** In one episode, Roxy, who is a very large dog, had a crush on Dylan.
614** Dylan has a crush on a poodle named Portia, who towers over him.
615* In ''WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatiansTheSeries'', Two-Tone is rumored to be larger than Lucky (who were potential mates in one episode) partially because of her chubby figure as opposed to Lucky who is slim and slender. This later inspired a lot of fan art of Two-Tone giving Lucky shoulder rides and such.
616%%* From ''WesternAnimation/AladdinTheSeries'', Iago and Thundra.
617%%* ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'': Nicole's parents, Daniel and Mary Senicourt.
618%%* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong'': Jake and Rose.
619%%* Mr. and Mrs. Brinks from ''WesternAnimation/AngelaAnaconda''
620* In ''WesternAnimation/TheAngryBeavers'', the twist of episode 12 is that the legendary [[TheCatfish giant river fish]], Old Gramps, turns out be a shriveled old fish who is maybe half the size of the beavers. The legends are actually due to his ''wife'', Old Grams, who ''is'' big enough to swallow the beavers' dam whole.
621* ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'':
622** We occasionally see Dr. Scratchansniff with his girlfriend, who is much taller and at least three times his weight.
623** For a more extreme example, there's WesternAnimation/{{Pinky|AndTheBrain}} and Pharfignewton -- he's a mouse, [[InterspeciesRomance she's a horse]].
624* ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'':
625** In the original series period, Aang is shorter than Katara. However, this is only because Katara is 2 years older than Aang ([[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld kinda]] [[HumanPopsicle sorta]]) -- by ''[[ComicBook/AvatarTheLastAirbenderThePromise The Promise]]'', set a year after the show, he's already as tall as her, while flashbacks and photos in ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'' show Aang became much taller than Katara as an adult.
626** SequelSeries ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'' has [[UnholyMatrimony P'Li and Zaheer]]. Zaheer is of average height and compactly built; P'Li is [[StatuesqueStunner 6'8"]].
627** An animal example: Korra's roughly horse-sized female polar bear dog Naga and Bolin's male pet fire ferret Pabu, who is a foot long (counting tail) on his best days.
628* ''WesternAnimation/BeastMachines'' in the case of Obsidian and Strika, and also Rattrap and Botanica. Played disturbingly straight in the Beast Machines toyline where basic-sized figures of Silverbolt can barely reach Blackaracnia's stomach.
629* ''WesternAnimation/TheBerenstainBears'' 1982 TV special ''The Berenstain Bears Comic Valentine'' has Brother Bear meeting his secret admirer, Miss Honey Bear, who turned out to be the goalie for an opposing hockey team. She is taller than Brother and reveals she has an even bigger sister!
630* ''WesternAnimation/BigCityGreens'': Cricket's girlfriend Gabriella is about half a head taller than he is, around the same height as Tilly.
631%%* ''WesternAnimation/BrandyAndMrWhiskers'' are a perfect example.
632* In ''WesternAnimation/CatDog'': [[spoiler:Their adoptive parents are revealed to be [[InterspeciesRomance a male frog and a female yeti]]]].
633* ''WesternAnimation/CloneHigh'': The short, wiry Gandhi eventually ends up with [[spoiler:Marie Curie, who's the largest girl in school due to radiation damage to her clone mother's DNA]].
634* In ''WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko'', Yumi is taller than Ulrich. Justified, considering she's a year older (more or less). Interestingly, Yumi's mother is also taller than her father.
635* ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'': Numbuh Three/Kuki Sanban and Numbuh Foor/Wally Beatles. While Kuki is actually the youngest Operative in Sector V, Wally is the shortest, being around a head shorter than Kuki.
636* ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'': Skulker and Ember as Ember is really the huge one; Skulker's real form is a tiny green ghost, but he uses a MonsterSuit, thus they appear to be HugeGuyTinyGirl.
637* In ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'', the main character is significantly shorter than his girlfriend [[HotWitch Morgana]] [[ClassyCatBurglar Macawber.]]
638* The ''Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse'' has Characters/{{Wonder Woman|TheCharacter}} and [[Characters/WonderWomanAllies Steve Trevor]], and the previously mentioned Scott Free and Big Barda.
639* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Disenchantment}},'' [[TheConscience Elfo]], a child-sized elf, has a crush on [[RebelliousPrincess Bean]], an average-sized human. Since leaving [[HiddenElfVillage Elfwood]], he's discovered that "big girls" are [[HasAType his type]]. In one episode, Elfo makes up a [[GirlfriendInCanada Girlfriend in a Faraway Land]], describing her as "bigger than Bean will ever be." This leads to him having a FakeRelationship with a giantess. Several comments are made about [[HotSkittyOnWailordAction the logistics of this]].
640* ''WesternAnimation/TheDragonPrince'': Downplayed. Rayla is about an inch taller than Callum (more so if you [[HornedHumanoid count the horns]]. Averted after the timeskip, when he is taller than her.
641* ''WesternAnimation/DuckDodgers'' has a noteworthy case in that ''both'' of Queen Tyr'ahnee's potential love interests, Duck Dodgers and Commander X-2, are shorter than she is. It's just more obvious with X-2, who is a few feet tall.
642* ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'': Lee Kanker (tallest female character) has a massive crush on Eddy (shortest male character next to Jimmy). This relationship is one-sided, by the way.
643* ''WesternAnimation/EekTheCat'': Eek and Annabelle fit this trope to a tee. She's an obese pink southern belle of a cat who's as tall as a human (in fact, her owner is only heard once as TheVoice welcoming her to her new home when she's let out of her cat carrier). In fact, a running gag is others telling him that his girlfriend is fat, but he doesn't see it; to him, she's a beautiful goddess.
644* On ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'', Trixie is the tallest of the kids, invoking this trope with Timmy or whoever else you want to ship her with.
645* Whenever Brian from ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' dates a woman, expect this trope to happen. Justified due to Brian being a dog.
646* In ''WesternAnimation/AFineFeatheredFrenzy'', Gorgeous Gal is enormously tall and overweight, compared to the very skinny and short WesternAnimation/WoodyWoodpecker.
647* ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones'': Barney Rubble is shorter than his wife Betty.
648* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'': The short, dumpy Hermes Conrad, and his statuesque, nearly-Amazonian wife [=LaBarbara=].
649* In ''WesternAnimation/HarleyQuinn2019'', Doctor Psycho, who has dwarfism, was married to Giganta. {{Downplayed|Trope}} because [[BlackComedyRape he achieved this through mind control]] and her first appearance has her walking out on him.
650* Riff Raff and his girlfriend Cleo from ''WesternAnimation/HeathcliffAndTheCatillacCats''.
651* ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'':
652** Ernie Potts, the diminutive demolitions man, gets involved with his crush -- a tall, full-figured (a.k.a. "Large and Lovely") model named Lola.
653** [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Harold]] is about half the height of his possible girlfriend [[HugeSchoolgirl "Big" Patty]].
654** One episode has a paper fortune teller predict that [[GranolaGirl Sheena]] and [[BornUnlucky Eugene]] will get married one day. [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/heyarnold/images/5/58/Tumblr_ouoizzPS7a1wvkstoo3_500.gif/revision/latest?cb=20170815032024 Note the height difference]]. He wouldn't even reach her shoulder if his head wasn't so weirdly shaped!
655** The girls on average, tend to be taller than the boys. Helga even points this out in one episode when she questions why they're even bothering to wear high heels. This is TruthInTelevision as young boys tend to be shorter than girls until they reach puberty.
656* Polish animated series ''WesternAnimation/HipHipAndHurra'' loves this trope, in the main protagonists' case anyway. Hip-Hip is a Hippopotamus and his love interest is "neck taller" Giraffe, while Hura is an weasel but his girlfriend is a three times bigger Kangaroo.
657%%* [[TheNapoleon Lucius Heinous VII]] and [[GoldDigger Jez]] from ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes''.
658* ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'': Quack Quack starts dating [[GonkyFemme Eugly]], who is roughly twice his (and the others') size in the second season.
659* ''WesternAnimation/LittlestPetShop2012'': Vinnie and Russell are the two smallest pets in Littlest Pet Shop. All four of the girl pets (Zoe, Pepper, Minka and Penny Ling) are larger than them, with Penny Ling being the biggest of the seven. It also kind of helps that some fans like to ship Vinnie and Penny Ling together due to their fairly-close friendship bonds.
660* ''WesternAnimation/MegaManFullyCharged'' has Mega Mini, a tiny robot who is so small he lives inside a kid-sized robot's head, develop a romantic interest in Blasto Woman, a huge bot who is easily the size of a car and built like a box.
661%%* Vambre and Prohyas' parents on ''WesternAnimation/MightyMagiswords''.
662* Miss Spider and Holley in ''WesternAnimation/MissSpidersSunnyPatchFriends''. Miss Spider is twice the size of her husband. [[JustifiedTrope They are spiders, after all]].
663* ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'':
664** ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEscapeFromCatrina'': Catrina is much taller than her minion/former boyfriend Rep, towering over him by a full head or more even when not enlarged by her potion.
665** ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
666*** Even though they're not romantic partners, Spike and Twilight Sparkle fit into this trope -- Twilight's around twice his height.
667*** While she does not appear to return the feelings, Spike is openly in love with Rarity who is taller than him because he's a baby dragon and she's an adult mare.
668*** Sandbar, a young earth pony boy, and Yona, a female yak who despite her tender age is easily two to three times taller and heavier than Sandbar, and likely to continue that trend in adulthood. They become good pals at the friendship school, and later Sandbar develops a crush on Yona, which she reciprocates. In the finale timeskip montage they're implied to be married.
669* In ''WesternAnimation/PoundPuppies2010'', Lucky and Cookie are about the same size, but in the earlier episodes, Cookie was a bit larger than Lucky (which seems appropriate seeing that she's a Boxer, which is a notably large breed of dog).
670* Princess Bula and Specky from ''WesternAnimation/{{Reboot}}'', but the contrast is jarring: he's as tall as her leg.
671* ''WesternAnimation/PlanetSheen'': [[BizarreSexualDimorphism The female futterbeasts dwarf humans, while the males are small enough to be mistaken for thorns]].
672* Most of Rocko's LoveInterests and dates from ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'', with the exception of Claudette (also a wallaby). In fact, the most we ever see of Rocko's primary crush Melba is her legs.
673* ''WesternAnimation/RockyAndBullwinkle'': Boris and Natasha. One of the most famous examples in all media along with Mario and Princess Peach.
674* ''WesternAnimation/RogerRamjet'': The episode "Hoop de Doop" features the Ruvonian basketball team, and their coach turns out to be married to a BrawnHilda type who is described in-universe as being 7ft tall and 300 pounds, with large muscular arms and [[GirlsWithMoustaches a tremendous mustache]]. The audience is even given a brief shot of the two of them together, and she basically looks like one of the brutish Ruvonian basketball players in drag -- though her comparatively tiny and normal looking husband is shown looking at her with utter adoration.
675* ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'': Howard and Betty Deville (Parents of Phil and Lil) fit this trope in both physicality and [[MasculineGirlFeminineBoy personality]], with Betty easily being the louder and larger in assertiveness than her tiny, timid husband.
676* The Scotsman and his wife from ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack''. It's not that the Scotsman is tiny -- in fact he's big, ugly, and strong -- it's just that his wife is bigger, uglier, and far stronger!
677* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'':
678** Sideshow Mel's wife is about two heads taller than him.
679** In ''[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS13E1TreehouseOfHorrorXII Treehouse of Horror XII]]'', Homer is cursed by a gypsy woman. To counteract the curse, Homer traps a leprechaun and orders it to attack her. Instead the gypsy and the leprechaun fall madly in love and the next scene is of their wedding. The leprechaun looks like he comes up to his new wife's knee.
680* ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil'':
681** "Club Snubbed" introduces Tom's parents, King David and Queen Wrathmelior Lucitor, who are a nondescript human-looking fellow of average height and a GiantWoman with the appearance of a BigRedDevil, respectively.
682** Star's own parents, Queen Moon and King River, are this as well, though both are Mewman so it's less pronounced than the Lucitor family; still, he only comes up to about her neck, and his wider shoulders compared to her ImpossibleHourglassFigure create the visual illusion of him being that much smaller.
683* Greg Universe and Rose Quartz from ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' have quite the height difference. It's not that Greg is particularly short though - he's actually a fairly large guy by human standards - rather Rose was just abnormally huge due to being [[InterspeciesRomance a humanoid alien]], with most estimates putting her at roughly 2.4 meters tall. [[spoiler:And her true form as Pink Diamond was almost twice as tall as that.]] It seems that Greg [[HasAType has a bit of a thing for this trope]]. Not only do several characters joke about him evidently dating a lot of tall women, but his cousin Andy briefly mistakes Garnet as being Steven’s mother based solely on the fact that she towers over Greg.
684%%* Mac and Molly Mange, the Metallikats in ''WesternAnimation/SWATKats''.
685%%* Beast Boy and Raven in ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo''.
686* Leo and Panthera in ''WesternAnimation/Thundercats2011''. Even by the standards of their species Panthera is a StatuesqueStunner, and towers over her love interest Leo, who (being almost identical to his descendant and main character Lion-O) is relatively short for an adult Cat.
687%%* Itchiano "Itchy" and Gnat in the ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'' episode "Flea for Your Life."
688* ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'':
689** Sierra from ''World Tour'' is the tallest first generation female contestant and has a FanGirl crush on [[DoggedNiceGuy Cody]], the shortest original male contestant.
690** Also [[SassyBlackWoman LeShawna]], one of the heaviest female contestants, and [[{{Otaku}} Harold]], the thinnest male contestant. He's taller, but the contrast between BigBeautifulWoman and [[NoodlePeople Noodle Person]] is still striking.
691** In ''Pahkitew Island,'' [[CrazySurvivalist Shawn]] and [[AwesomeAussie Jasmine]] are more like Normal Guy, Huge Girl, since she towers over just about everyone.
692** While [[LovableNerd Sam]] from the fourth season, ''Total Drama: Revenge of the Island'', is one of the taller male contestants, when you compare him to [[AttentionWhore Dakota]] [[CuteMonsterGirl after her mutation,]] this trope definitely applies.
693* ''WesternAnimation/TUFFPuppy'': Dudley and Kitty fit this trope to a tee, as Kitty is clearly taller than Dudley.
694* ''WesternAnimation/{{Tutenstein}}'': Tut himself and Cleo Carter. Like Aang and Katara, it's because Cleo is two years older (again, kinda sorta), not to mention Tut is a shriveled mummy.
695* Yugo and Amalia of ''WesternAnimation/{{Wakfu}}''. Even though she's only one year older, Amalia is at least twice Yugo's height. This is because Yugo's race ages at a slower rate than other people, so after the time skip Yugo ''still'' looks the same even when everyone else is growing! Post season 3, this trope is why Yugo doesn't act on his feelings for Amalia; He's worried that a meaningful relationship would be impossible because of A) how silly it would look for a royal to have such a small consort, and B) he doesn't want Amalia to wait who knows how long for Yugo to mature into a man when she's already a young woman.
696* Wander and Sylvia from ''WesternAnimation/WanderOverYonder'' are a perfect platonic example of this. Wander is a short, scrawny, cartoony humanoid covered in orange fur, whilst Sylvia is an [[CartoonCreature alien bipedal horse-dinosaur-thingy]] who normally [[HorseOfADifferentColor carries Wander around on her back]] in their travels.
697* ''WesternAnimation/WorkItOutWombats'': Mr. E, an iguana, is much shorter than his crush Ellie, who's a moose.
