Claire Forlani is pretty well known for this. She speaks with an American accent in Mallrats, The Rock, Meet Joe Black, Mystery Men, Boys and Girls, and probably Antitrust.

I've only seen Bend It Like Beckham, Pirates of the Carribean, and Love Actually, where Keira's characters are British.

Natalie Portman is short in addition to being less attractive.

You say that like its bad. Short girls are MUCH better than tall girls.

Only if you're short yourself.

Tall guy + tall girl = :)

I never understood that. Why do some tall guys want girls as tall as them? The common theory is that the girl "should" be shorter than the guy.

*Ahem,* because some of us don't have height inferiority complexes when it comes to the kind of women we like. ;)

Average height of a guy: 5'10"
Average height of a girl: 5'4"

Let's take for example a tall girl, which is 5'7-5'8". Even for a guy of average height he will still be taller.

Only reason I can see a guy liking shorter guys is if he's short himself, otherwise taller girls are the desirable of the breed.

Well, as all girls are roughly the same girth, shorter girls might be seen by some as better proportioned? Or cuter?

I don't know really...

:confused: Not really...Theoretically speaking, if they were all the same proportions, the taller girl would be a bit bigger in the *ahem* chest, than the shorter girl. But...that doesn't work since there are different -proportions.- Cuter, though, maybe...

IMO, I've always preferred a taller girl, but I am 6'1", so that may have something to do with it. I just don't like having to look down to see her eyes.

I've found that shorter ones care more about the height differentials than taller women. Taller girls (5'7" up) seem to be more okay with guys around their same height..so they'd be okay with a guy 5'9-5'10 whereas a girl who's 5'3-5'4 moreso want a guy in the 6' range.
