Officially called the tallest man in the world, Turkish Sultan Kosen says that his height makes him unattractive for women.

Though crowned the tallest man at the London launch of the 2010 edition Guinness World Records, Sultan longs for a lady love. However he seems to be hopeful due to his recent fame.

The 27-year-old Sultan Kosen who is 8ft 1in tall with 11in-wide hands and 15in-wide is abnormally tall due to pituitary gland disorder that got him on the crutches to move about.

The Daily Express quoted him as saying: "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," he said. "I've never had a girlfriend. They were usually scared of me. I'm hoping now that I am famous I will be able to meet lots of girls."

Being tall however has some advantages. "I can change light bulbs and hang curtains without needing a ladder," he said.

Tall trouble indeed.
