Finding someone has become a problem for Shears. (photo No. 9)
Shears (Kewal Shiels) became Australia's tallest man at a height of 7.25 feet. But height also brings some troubles to his life, one of which is looking for someone.
Although the tall figure gives basketball-loving Shears an advantage, the good-tempered tall man revealed to journalist that height occasionally has a negative impact on his life, according to Radio 9.
Shears said he did not want to be limited to his height, and that his tall figure did give him some opportunities, but it also caused discomfort to himself and even seriously affected some aspects of his life.
Shears has decided to settle in Melbourne, but finding a house has become a big problem. Not only should house's ceiling and door frame be high enough, but the room must also accommodate his custom 8-foot queen bed. His ability to choose a clothing brand is also extremely limited. After all, few branded clothing sizes meet the needs of people with 40-inch legs.
But finding someone may be the biggest challenge for the 30-year-old bachelor. When your height is unmatched, finding the right person becomes a challenge, he told journalist, especially in the age of online dating platforms. He said he might give the other person a shot before the appointment, but he was too shocked at that time.
Shears's father was Tanzanian and his mother was Australian. At the age of 12, he grew taller than his 6-foot mother, and has continued to grow tall ever since. At that time, the constant attention began to make him tired.
Shears told journalist it was her mother's love that made him accept her height and said she was now ready to find the other half of her life.
