My boyfriend is short, fit, and white. I'm tall, thick, and black?

Question

Ok so I'm 5'11 and my boyfriend is 5'8

My issue is not that he's white. My issue is that he's shorter than me by a lot. And it' not like I'm tall and thin; I'm tall and thick so my legs are bigger than his.

What can/should I do?

Plus I hate not knowing if people are staring because we're interracial, or staring because I'm bigger/taller than him?

Answer 1

Yes he is lucky : (

Answer 2

Maybe people are staring cause you are a stunning couple.

Enjoy your relationship.

Answer 3

as long as u love him, thats what matters most

Answer 4

You should do absolutely nothing, you were the same size and height when he met you and he obviously liked you the way you were, so don't mess with something that works. If people stare for whatever reason, just ignore them, some people are just plain rude or stupid. If your height does not bother him, the h**l with every body else, be happy and enjoy.

Answer 5

You know "thick" is another word for stupid.  

Answer 6

There's nothing that you can do to change either of your heights. If you two are still young, he may have a chance to grow taller. If you want to, you could lose weight since you said you were thick but only if you feel you need to.

People are probably staring at you because of both, race and physical appearance depending on where you are from.

So basically, there's nothing you can do. Who cares if people stare, do what makes you happy. And you could maybe not wear heals when you are together but that gets boring.

Answer 7

If you truly love him-you won't care if he's short, or fat, or bald, or anything.

That's my advice.

Answer 8

Nothing wrong with that. I think it's awesome when I see taller girls with shorter guys- especially if the guys confident enough to not be wearing lifts and stretching up while he's next to her, and she's confident enough to wear heals and stand up straight. Look at Kimora Lee Simmons and her (is it ex now?) husband, he's 5'7" and she's 6ft.  

Answer 9

There's not much you can do other than accept people staring.

My boyfriend is 5"6, stocky and Hispanic.  He also has really long hair - down to his butt!

I am 5"9, tall, white and thin.  I have long hair, but his is much longer than mine.

I don't notice people staring at us, but people do remember us where ever we go.  For example, we eat out frequently at certain restaurants.  If I go to the restaurant by myself, the waitresses don't recognize me.  If I go with him, the same waitresses remember "us" so vividly that they know exactly what we're going to eat because it's the same thing every time!

There is nothing you can do to prevent people from staring at you as a couple.  And in your case, you're tall enough by yourself that you will probably stand out in a crowd no matter who you're with - 5"11 tall women are few and far between!  I bet if you were dating a tall black man (say 6"2) people would stare too, just because the two of you are so tall.

It is something you will have to deal with as long as you're walking down the street holding hands with this guy.  Not much you can do, and you'll never know why they are staring.  Is it because you're tall?  Because your skin colors are different?  Neither one is a good excuse for staring, but c'est la vie.

Answer 10

First of all stop spamming with this question. Second by the looks of your picture people are staring because you probably ate the poor fella.
