Something that always interests me.How many times have girls ever been taller then the guys they love?Seriously,you'd think that Jake and Rose would be different enough with what they were both born to do and of course just being two different people.But Jake only surpasses Rose's shoulder as a human. XD Never really think about it anymore but (except for maybe Curlin on DBZ) it's not something you really think about happening often in relationships.Usually the girl only reachs the shoulders. LP

well i can think of a couple reasons for this.. girls usually grow faster than boys at the age they're at (13-14?), and theres also the fact that Jake is part Chinese, and Asians usually are shorter than other races of people.
Thats what i think at least

I thought Jake got a little taller, actually.... 0_o
Well, I remember with my ex-boyfriend I had about an inch over him, but that wasn't really much of a difference...

Hmm.I had half an inch on a guy in the eighth grade. But I'd imagine Jake's adult height reached at least that of a grown up Rose as well.Of course,we'll never get to see a grown Rose,so... LP

Well, Katara is taller than Aang. Yeah, I know, they're not a couple, but still. lol OOH! Isn't Sakura taller than Naruto? ...Going by real life, one of my aunts is taller than her husband. So...it's normal. And my sister is taller than her boyfriend.

I dated a guy who made us just like Jake and Rose. I was taller than him just like Rose. He turned out to be a jerk though... Sigh just my luck there.

Go to any middle school and you will see the height difference.
Look at Young at Heart, older Jake is so much taller. He just needs to hit his growth spurt.

Well,that'd be his second one.I think originally he was actually the shortest kid in his class (before meeting Rose) and sprung up a few inches.Maybe I read that on some site.Anywho,I think that by his 9th or 10th grade year he should definitely be a deal taller.

I don't think it was ever actually mentioned that Jake was the shortest kid in his class (and if it was I probably missed it, go figure. ), but I imagine back in season 1 he probably was. But I still think he had a growth spurt between season 1 and season 2, he seems taller this season.

Well, according to Jeff Goode's original story, Jake was supposed to be the second shortest kid in class, right after a 2-inch growth spurt after his thirteenth birthday... but it wasn't mentioned in the actual show. Well, the height difference doesn't matter to me much, anyway.

But I still think he had a growth spurt between season 1 and season 2, he seems taller this season. Eddie and Matt said there was a conscious decision to make Jake look older due to feedback from focus testing on kids, so that could include making Jake and the other characters look taller.
