One Head Taller/Playing With

Basic Trope: The guy is noticeably taller than his female companion.

• Straight: Bob's head is above Alice's due to his height.
• Exaggerated: Huge Guy, Tiny Girl.
  • All the guys are taller than the girls.
• Justified: Bob's German, Alice is Japanese, or any other racial height difference.
  • There's an age gap.
• Inverted: Alice is taller than Bob.
• Subverted: 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.
• Double Subverted: But it turns out that Alice also was on a box, and Bob is still taller than her.
• Parodied: Regardless of age, race, and overall probability, every man is a lot taller than the women.
• Deconstructed: ???
• Reconstructed: ???
• Zig Zagged: Bob looks taller than Alice in one shot, but he was standing on something, then Alice turns out to be a hologram by the very tiny Alice the Fairy, and Bob turns out to have been cursed to a smaller body, and then it turns out that Alice is a sizeshifter...
• Averted: Height differences aren't that big.
• Enforced: ???
• Lampshaded: "How come all the guys I meet are bigger than their girlfriends?"
• Invoked: ???
• Defied: ???
• Discussed: ???
