4** OneHeadTaller.
5* '''Exaggerated''':
6** AliceAndBob love each other. Bob is seven feet (214 cm) tall, and Alice is five feet (152 cm) tall.
7** Bob is [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever fifty feet tall]] and Alice is six inches.
8** Bob is the size of a planet, while Alice is the size of a mushroom spore.
9* '''Downplayed''': AliceAndBob love each other. Bob is a little above the average man, while Alice is a little below the average woman.
10* '''Justified''':
11** Alice's family comprises mainly shorter-than-average people, and Bob's family comprises mainly taller-than-average people.
12** Bob is slightly older than Alice.
13** Alice and Bob belong to a [[BizarreSexualDimorphism species in which the males are larger than the females]].
14** Alice is attracted to tall men, while Bob is attracted to short women.
15** [[ChildhoodFriendRomance Alice has known Bob since before he hit his growth spurt]]
16* '''Inverted''': TinyGuyHugeGirl.
17* '''Subverted''': Bob is shown to be one feet taller than Alice, but it's revealed that Bob is a tiny alien in a MobileSuitHuman. Alice knows all about this and is fine with it.
18* '''Double Subverted''': ...because she's a slightly tinier alien in a smaller MobileSuitHuman.
19* '''Parodied''': Bob is large enough to have his own gravitational pull; Alice lives ''on'' him. Apparently [[HotSkittyOnWailordAction they have a healthy sex life]]... and their children are average sized.
20* '''Zig-Zagged''': Alice and Bob find {{shrink ray}}s and growth rays. HilarityEnsues.
21** Alice is absolutely minuscule, but Bob is around the average height.
22* '''Averted''': Bob and Alice are on even heights.
23* '''Enforced''': Bob is TheBigGuy, drawn in a caricaturish HeroicBuild way, but the animators were told Alice had to be "cute" and thus realistically human-sized, even on the petite side, even though that made her and Bob's physiques drastically different.
24* '''Lampshaded''':
25-->'''Alice''': Yes, I know he's like five feet taller than me, but I still love him!
26* '''Invoked''': Alice wants to feel protected, so she looks for [[TheBigGuy a big man]] to give her protection and romance.
27* '''Exploited''': ???
28* '''Defied''': Alive refuses to go out with Bob, because she'd feel ridiculous standing next to him.
29* '''Discussed''': "A guy with [[HeroicBuild cartoonish proportions]] like that? I bet you his wife is tiny."
30* '''Implied''': Bob is never seen, but Alice talks about how tall he is.
31* '''Played For Drama''': Bob worries about being physically imposing & clumsy, and making Alice feel threatened; Alice worries about being overlooked or ignored. These issues are a source of friction in their relationship.
32* '''Played For Laughs''': Bob and Alice's physical mismatch is played as a slapstick duo: BigGuyLittleGuy with a GenderFlip, because {{Slapstick}} knows no gender!
