OI: “Big Man on Campus” is not, shall we say, the most, um, PC way to put it. The fact is, you should probably not walk into marriage expecting that. Walk into it expecting a partnership where you and your wife are on equal footing. Just for the sake of your future shalom bayis.

Don’t worry about the height. I’m not trying to be mean, but if the girl is the same height as you she’ll probably reject you first. Personally, I’m short and I’m not expecting (nor would I necessarily be comfortable with) a six foot guy, but just as guys have standards they like, so do girls. (And I DEFINITELY know very short girls who married very tall guys, so the people with the problems are the short guys and the tall girls- though admittedly to a lesser extent. My sister is 5’8″ and I wonder what’s gonna happen with her.) If you’re looking for a girl a bit shorter than you then fine, she’ll come along eventually.

That one I’ll admit makes sense.

Achashveirosh/SHalomToYou: And… YOU’RE the one bringing this up? Weird…

I remember having to restrain myself from commenting on that one.
