I have a very short friend who is into very tall (by my standards, anyway) men.

This thought occurs to me every time she introduces me to or shows me a picture of her newest love interest.

  • Kevin Hart -> 5’2” / 158 cm
  • The Rock -> 6’4” / 193 cm
  • Shaq -> 7’1” / 216 cm
  • Yao Ming -> 7’6” / 229 cm

Shame that Voyager doesn’t appear to have a way to input a clean table in a comment.

No markdown tables? :(

Let me test

Edit: It works but the text and background are both black??

Shows okay for me using the Connect client in dark mode. White foreground, black background.

How'd you do that? I'm on Voyager, but it doesn't seem to be in my list of markup shortcuts

Hmm..

Well now I know exactly how I compare to all of these men in a very literal sort of way, since I’m apparently the exact same height as Kevin Hart. Tho I am a bit surprised that the first person I dated is the same height as the rock. He looks a lot bigger.

So that’s fun! Thanks for providing that info :)

I saw him in person once when I worked in a mall. Poor guy has to duck to avoid ceiling fixtures.

I wonder how many times he's walked into a spinning ceiling fan.

This strikes me as a mistake you can really only make once.

They don't hurt as much as you would expect. They are generally as light as possible and spinning with very little torque for energy efficiency. So even at max speed, it hurts less than bonking your head on something solid at walking speed, which is much more common. I am only 6' 4", you don't have to be as tall as you would think to "get to" experience this.

And you can easily just put your hand in front of a spinning fan and try for yourself. Don't do it with metal fans though, only those wood ones.

I also didn't realize the height difference. I knew Ming was taller but I didn't think it was by THAT much.

well, no, at some point, there is no bigger fish, you've found the biggest fish, you are the biggest fish, congratulations, all the other fish are ashamed

Eventually the fish would be so large it would collapse into a singularity, arguably being fish no longer

I love how everyone involved looks positively delighted to stand with a taller person, except for Kevin Hart.

I hope Shaq has a matching picture of his smiling face and an arm around someone but we can only see the top of his head

For the others, it doesn't happen that often, so it's interesting when it does.

For Kevin Hart, it's just his reality.

Kevin Hart and Dwayne the Johnson always play this bit in front of the camera and pretend that they don’t like each other.

Nah, it's a different Dwayne. You're talking about Dwayne the person, but the other commenter is talking about the johnson named Dwayne

This seems like a legit question for science though.... Like I assume there is some proportionality?

Who is taller than the Willow actor, who is himself taller than the Mini-me actor. I think the scale stops there though.
