If it's only one or the other (usually a very short woman paired with an average-sized man), that would be One Head Taller. Note well: In an action series, the guy may look big enough to break his girl like a toothpick, but she's likely to be just as deadly as her man.īefore adding examples, remember that both the man must be above average height and the woman must be below it. Also, frequently the Huge Guy is the Tiny Girl's relative, usually her father or brother (which provides an interesting dynamic when she's the older one). Or it could just be an Intergenerational Friendship. This isn't always sexual though often the girl is a Morality Pet who hangs out with the guy to show he isn't just a brute. Physical attraction aside, the idea of a big hulking giant showing his soft side for his little lady is popular with female viewers. This is an exaggeration with some basis in truth: the median height for males is slightly higher than that for females, and many men and women choose opposite-sex mates with the "traditional" comparative height. Even when the actors themselves represent this trope, if it appears on screen you can be sure there was an intentional choice to invoke it. The height difference goes well beyond One Head Taller, and the tall one is often several times wider to boot.Īverted more often than not in Film and Live Action TV, where props and camera angles are employed to equalize the heights of the leading man and lady, to make filming easier (otherwise, getting them in the same shot would be a pain in the arse). Some writers like pairing up characters of opposite sex and opposite ends of the size spectrum. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42.
The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace.
Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted.Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so.
