I know I'm horrible for thinking it, but he reminds me of Jaws from James Bond.

I feel sorry for him, not being able to find love. I know the feeling though, I am 6ft 7 and I had people weird out about my height or make the worst repeative jokes in existence like: "Was your raised in a [plant] growing bag?" "How is the weather up there?"
They get kranky though when I reply with things like "I guess your mother raised you on skimmed milk" and other various things I have replied to, to people who deserve such comments.

Hehehe, I remember a highschool friend, 6'9", used to have a perfect answer to that annoying query. He'd spit on them and say "it's raining".

Haha, I'll just threaten them with that now.

Unfortunately he probably thinks his condition is more of a curse than a blessing. Health problems and being treated like a sideshow freak isn't something I'd wish for anyone. We all have to play the hand we've been dealt so hopefully Sultan can find the happiness he seeks.

I remember the guy from years ago. Efes Pilsen -the most remarkable Turkish basketball team- was looking to get him a comfortable life and raise him as a player of their own.
Pity that it didn't work out and being so tall even makes him unable to walk without support.

I really feel for the guy... I would have thought he could get a girlfriend though...I mean a 6+ ft'r wouldn't look too bad as the girl is usually a little smaller anyway...
Beskar... 6"9 sheesh... please never stand next to me in person ~;)
