Huge Guy, Tiny Girl/Real Life

Examples of Huge Guy, Tiny Girl pairings in Real Life include:

• Fossils of Australopithecus afarensis reveal this trope to be Older Than Dirt, as the males were nearly 50% taller than their female counterparts, such as "Lucy."
  • This is the norm in most old-world primates, with things like mandrills having males three times larger than the female. To say nothing about orangutans or gorillas...
  • This is actually played-straight with a fair number of species of mammals, and inverted with a decent number of other organisms where the female is actually much larger than the male.
  • In mammals, the trope is predominantly only averted when the male of the species would eat the young given the opportunity. For example, polar bears.
    • An adult male weighs around 770–1,500 lb, while an adult female is about half that size. - Wikipedia
• It is thought that in 1766 a male wolf mated with a Pomeranian resulting in nine pups. There's no telling what those puppies ended up looking like.
• The Notorious B.I.G. (6'4 and at least 300 lbs) and Lil' Kim (4'10).
• Hayden Panettiere and her boxer ex-boyfriend Wladimir Klitschko; she's roughly 5'1"^[1] and he's 6'6", which makes for a height difference of about 17 inches. (Though really, with her height this trope could apply to all her boyfriends; her current^[when?] fellow Scotty McKnight, while no giant at 5'11", still towers over her.)
  • She actually sort of quoted this trope when on Live With Regis And Kelly - she told Mr. Philbin and Miss Ripa that when they met their initial conversation went thusly:

Hayden: You're HUGE! Wladimir: You're TINY!

• Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith.
  • Jada Pinkett Smith actually auditioned for the role of Will's girlfriend on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air but was rejected because of this trope.
• Billy Corgan (6"4") and Tila Tequila (4"11"). That's not even the strangest part of the pairing.
• 5'5" Kate Bosworth and 6"4" Alexander Skarsgard
• Very noticeable in most species of seals. For example, female elephant seals can grow up to 10 feet in length, with a weight of 1,900 lbs. Males are almost twice as big, and can weigh three times as much!
  • Also true of nearly all members of the mustelid (weasel) family.
• Jessica Origliasso (5'1") and Billy Corgan (6'4").
• Jared Padalecki (6'4") and his wife Gen (5'4"). His hand is bigger than her entire face.
• Practically mandatory in pairs figure skating, due to all the acrobatic lifts and throws required. The greatest disparity on record was a Russian pair where the man was over a foot taller and the girl hadn't yet reached puberty (when she did, the partnership ended).
• Amy Poehler (5'2") and husband Will Arnett (6'2").
• Former basketball player Shaq and his girlfriend Nicole.
• Older one: Betty White and Allen Ludden-probably mostly because although he was sort of tall, White looks to be only a couple of inches over 5 feet when she isn't wearing heels.
• The sexual dimorphism of lions in size isn't really anything spectacular, but the male lion's mane makes him look much bigger, which comes in handy for scaring off competition and for sexual selection.
  • The same can be said of peafowl.
• George Washington was 6'2". His wife, Martha, was 5'0".
