Althouse: "The first thing I want to do is have a car that I can fit in, but more than that I want to get married."

September 17, 2009

"The first thing I want to do is have a car that I can fit in, but more than that I want to get married."

"Up until now it's been really difficult to find a girlfriend. I've never had one, they were usually scared of me. I'm hoping now I will find one. Hopefully now that I'm famous I'll be able to meet lots of girls. I'd like to get married."

Good luck for him, though. I hope he finds a woman who will love him and make him feel special.; 9/17/09, 11:39 AM

He was still growing until its removal?; 9/17/09, 11:46 AM

Anonymous said...: Wilt Chamberlain may not have been this height, but at 7'1" he was freakishly tall by almost any standards. He also is alleged to have had, ahem, encounters with as many as ten thousand women.

traditionalguy said...: In my experience men a foot or so taller than the others around them have to smile and joke continually so that people will not fear them and therefore hate them. This guy is two feet+ taller.I sure hope he is not a sourpus. On the other hand the short guys are usually aggressive to prove you need to fear them.; 9/17/09, 12:08 PM
Fred4Pres said...: I have the same wishes for Rush too!; 9/17/09, 12:09 PM
DADvocate said...: I understand the fitting in a car problem. I'm a lot shorter than he but at least half, maybe three quarters, the cars on the market don't have enough leg room for me. Oddly, the old 1966 VW bug I drove for years did.; 9/17/09, 12:30 PM

My first thought too!; 9/17/09, 1:00 PM
Freeman Hunt said...: He should come to the United States. A think extraordinarily tall men do pretty well in the dating arena around here.

Question: Is a man's height viewed differently in different cultures?; 9/17/09, 1:40 PM
J Lee said...: She's about eight years older than him, but someone could try to hook him up with Margo Dydek, who's also from that general area in Europe (Poland, actually), and at 7-foot-2, is about as close as he's going to get to someone his size.; 9/17/09, 3:05 PM
