Line #28 PlayingWith/OneHeadTaller


1	'''Basic Trope''': The guy is noticeably taller than his female/feminine companion.
2	* '''Straight''':
3	** Bob's head is above Alice's due to his height.
4	** Bob, the {{Seme}}, is taller than his {{Uke}} Andy.
5	* '''Exaggerated''':
6	** HugeGuyTinyGirl.
7	** All the guys are taller than the girls.
8	** [[TheBigGuy Bob is taller than everyone else.]]
9	** All Semes are taller than the Ukes.
10	* '''Downplayed''':
11	** Bob is a couple inches taller than Alice.
12	** Bob is only a couple inches taller than Andy.
13	* '''Justified''':
14	** [[TruthInTelevision In humans, males tend to be taller than females (though usually not so much).]]
15	** Bob does workout that helps his height.
16	** It's what she finds attractive.
17	* '''Inverted''':
18	** Alice is taller than Bob.
19	** Andy, despite being the Uke, is taller than Bob.
20	* '''GenderInverted''': [[ButchLesbian Betty]]'s head is above [[LipstickLesbian Alice]]'s due to her height.
21	* '''Subverted''':
22	** Bob looks to be taller than Alice when we get an above-torso shot of the two, but it turns out that Bob was standing on a cardboard box.
23	** Alice is shorter than Bob because there's an age gap.
24	* '''Double Subverted''':
25	** But it turns out that Alice also was on a box, and Bob is still taller than her.
26	** [[SheIsAllGrownUp In her adulthood]], Alice is still much shorter than Bob.
27	** Alice and Bob are actually around the same height when standing straight, but in this scene Alice is kneeling or reclining at an angle towards Bob in a way that makes her look shorter than she is.
28	* '''Parodied''': Regardless of age, race, and overall probability, every man is a lot taller than the women.
29	* '''Zig Zagged''': Betty, the masculine girl, is one head taller than the feminine Andy.
30	* '''Averted''':
31	** Height and sex are independent of each other.
32	** For the Boys Love variant, height and role in the relationship are independent of each other.
33	* '''Enforced''':
34	** The writer of the show [[HeteronormativeCrusader believes in rigid gender roles,]] so the male partners are always depicted as taller as a visual analogue to the author's belief that men are/should be the more dominant sex.
35	** Alternatively, the writer insists on carrying over said gender roles and stereotypes into homosexual relationships.
36	** The writer wants a visual cue that Bob is a protective boyfriend.
37	* '''Lampshaded''': "How come all the guys I meet are bigger than their girlfriends?"
38	* '''Invoked''': Bob attempts to somehow make himself taller in order to win over Alice.
39	* '''Exploited''': ???
40	* '''Defied''':
41	** Bob deliberately seeks out a girlfriend that doesn't care if he is shorter than her.
42	** Bob deliberately seeks out an Uke that doesn't care if he is shorter than him.
43	* '''Discussed''': ???
44	* '''Conversed''': ???
45	* '''Deconstructed''': Andy has trouble finding a love interest because everyone he meets insists on this trope.
