"People stare at us": A 29-year-old American woman married a man who is constantly mistaken for her son. Photo of the couple

Some psychologists argue that women are attracted to tall men for a number of biological and social reasons. Cassandra Gaspar confidently breaks the stereotype by marrying Westin, who is almost 13 centimeters shorter than her. However, this difference attracts the attention of passers-by who mock their relationship.

The couple from New York often faces condemnation from others who do not hesitate to compare the man to the son of an American woman, the New York Post writes. Such a reaction is due to a rather noticeable difference in height: the 29-year-old woman is 177.8 cm, and her 32-year-old husband is 165 cm.

Westin admitted that people almost never pay attention to him. Instead, they might approach his beloved to joke that she shouldn't be with him: "Haters say I look like her purse or her son. They are trying to be funny."

Cassandra has always been taller than most men. In her 20s, the woman realized that she was unable to change this, so she stopped paying attention to her peculiarity.

Despite the fact that the couple met online, they immediately decided not to turn a small difference in height into a large-scale problem.

"When I met my wife, I said: "You're tall, and you can't do anything about it. And I'm short, and I can't help it either," said Westin.

Over the course of their relationship, the couple has found certain advantages in their peculiarity. The man jokingly noted that his wife helps him get things off high shelves. In return, he can always protect his beloved, as he has been boxing for a long time.

Cassandra Gaspar noted that there are many couples in the world in which the woman is taller than the man, it is not an insane rarity: "It's not like: "Wow, I just found a rare coin," no, you love who you love."
