  • Stephen A. Smith was asked for advice about shorter men dating taller women
  • The NBA media personality admitted that he wouldn’t personally want to date a woman taller than him
  • Stephen A. Smith also cheekily said that height doesn’t matter in certain aspects of relationships

Stephen A. Smith is one of the most outspoken personalities associated with NBA media. And since he got his podcast, he has been on a roll talking about some of the most hilarious topics. 

On his show, Smith interacts with fans’ questions. And when one caller asked him about potentially dating taller women, Stephen A. Smith’s reaction did not disappoint.

“I mean, if you don’t mind the woman literally looking down at you physically, cuz you’re shorter than her, ain’t no problem with it,” Smith said. “I mean, even though I’m a booty, leg, and hip man to the core, some men like taller women that you know, beautiful legs and they looking up to her. 

“Me personally, I don’t wanna be looking up to my woman. I wanna be looking up at her in terms of stature, I wanna be looking up at her in terms of respect. But physically, I don’t wanna be walking down the street, holding hands with my woman and looking up at her. That’s me. 

“But hey, you can’t help the fact you only 5’4”. And if they taller than you, especially if they fine to you, more power to you! Go for it, bro. Hey, height don’t matter in the dark. Height don’t matter in the dark. It don’t matter in the light when you’re laying down either. That’s how I look at it.”

That is an in-depth but hilarious answer on the whole situation from Stephen A. Smith, only he could provide this type of take on the subject. And to paraphrase a little, nothing matters in a relationship except consent and acceptance. 


Stephen A. Smith Has Admitted That He Would Like To Be Married

The talk of relationships and dating has become quite the topic around Stephen A. Smith these days. He recently spoke about his views on marriage as well, admitting something about himself. 

“Contrary to what you may believe, although I’m 55 and a father of two, I have never been married,” Smith said. “I am not against marriage at all. In fact, I hope to be married someday. I hope to walk down that aisle.”

Stephen A. Smith may get his basketball takes wrong from time to time, but he seems to be nailing it on extra-curricular topics. Whatever he’s talking about, the one thing no one can take away from him is how entertaining he is.
