No one ever said it was easy being tall. The world's tallest man, who towers at a staggering 7'7", is in search of that special woman who he can fall in love with and one day be his wife.

According to the Hong Kong addition of the China Daily, Bao Xishun, 55, has never married or even dated because of his extreme height.

The Chinese man, who many papers are referring to as the 'gentle giant,' has put out a newspaper advertisement expressing his need for love and the right kind of woman who is willing to take good care of him.

Bao, who has five normal-sized siblings, was earlier this year officially recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the tallest man on the planet.
