Model who thought she’d never find love due to her 6ft 2in frame reveals she’s fallen for a man who weighs 70lbs less than her

A 6ft 2in woman has set out to prove that size doesn’t matter after revealing she’s found love with a ‘short king’.

Model Marie Temara, 28, once swore off shorter men and even said dating was ‘impossible’ after failing to meet a partner her height in her native Florida.
After documenting her dating struggles on Instagram, she recently updated fans with the news that she had found a beau on Tinder, a man named Matthew, who is 5’11” and weighs 70lbs less than her.

Marie – who said her height attracts staring from strangers – now hopes to inspire other tall women to ‘pursue short men’ and to follow their hearts instead of societal norms. She explained: ‘For the majority of my dating life, I would always try to find a partner that was taller than me, as that is the social norm.

However, finding a partner over 6’2″ was extremely difficult, because only a small amount of men are taller than that. ‘So, I recently decided to break the standards of society and started seeking out shorter men’.

Marie met her now boyfriend, Matthew, 27, when the two hit it off on dating app, Tinder.  She admitted to initially feeling ‘insecure’ about the ‘massive height difference’ but over time has come to embrace it. ‘I was unaware of his height until I saw him on our first date,’ she said.

Originally, I felt a little insecure dating him because I was worried about what other people would think of our massive height and size difference’. For Marie however, loving Matthew hasn’t come easy as she said she’s had to ditch her high heels when out with him in public. ‘Although he is tall to most people, he is quite a bit shorter and weighs 70lbs less Than me
