Well, thank God! World's Tallest Man finds himself a wife!
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17827041/

After his successful save of the dolphins, the guy's earned it!

Bao Xishun, a 7-foot-9 herdsman from Inner Mongolia, married 5-foot-6 saleswoman Xia Shujian several days ago, the Beijing New reported.

Bao’s 28-year-old bride is half his age and hailed from his hometown of Chifeng even though marriage advertisements were sent around the world, it said.

5. Well, according to the OP he "earned" a 14 yo for saving a dolphin.
I was just wondering what kind of marine life it would take to earn a 12yo.

2. At 6' 4", I'm usually close to being the tallest man in the room

It's always refreshing to find someone I have to look up to, after looking across a sea of heads a foot below my eye level. I'd LOVE to stand next to this man just to see what it feels like to be really short for a change!

3. As usual, the tall guys go for the short girls
And in my estimation, anyone under 5'10" is a short girl.

9. Well, if under 5'10" is short, that's most every woman on the planet
and I don't even want to know what that makes me. ;)

13. That Is Extreme
Edited on Mon Apr-02-07 04:57 PM by erpowers
5'10 is tall for a women. The average height for a women is 5'4. How tall are you? I can image a guy like Yao Ming(7'6) saying 5'10 is short for a women, but if you are an average guy 5'10 is pretty tall. women who are 5'3 meet men of 6'9 at about their chest. So, I think a women of 5'11 would meet a 6'+ man at about his chin.

16. Oh. My. God
This is the LOUNGE

Why not head over to GD, where having no sense of humor is an asset, rather than a liability

18. I Have A Sense of Humor
I do have a sense of humor, but you gave no indication in your post that you were joking. Further, what is wrong with what I posted? I just listed some heights to counter you post that any woman under 5'10 is short. Maybe next time you should point out that you are joking. If you do not maybe you should be prepared to have someone contradict what you say.

14. 5 ft 6 in the house....
And lonely as hell. How do you compete with the giants of the world when most of the women you meet are practically at eye-level or taller?
