Writer Stephen Merchant: Why is he not Married Yet? His Dating History with All Girlfriends
What rule implies for a man to find love? Does the standard TDH rule serves the purpose or has humor made its way to the top? It might be so in actor/comedian Stephen Merchant’s case because lately, the women he’s been dating are way out of his league, but either way, he is still getting them.
Merchant has been in the comedy business since 1998 and is one of the funniest guys around. And over the time he has been able to swoon over some gorgeous women. Let's talk about his love affairs all along his journey.
Too Tall To Find a Wife?
Though Merchant’s humor save him in almost every situation with the ladies, his 6ft 7 inches large frame is what he blames when it comes to his failing relationships. The never been married actor is so tall that he can make all his girlfriends look like tiny figures in front of him. And he believes that he is too tall to find love.
He admitted that his height was the reason for his not-so-good bedroom performance. He said in 2011,
'If they’re down there and I’m up here, it’s a bit tricky.'
At the time Merchant acknowledged this fact, he was on a nationwide stand-up tour called 'Hello Ladies' and thought of finding himself a wife while on tour. He revealed his loneliness and expressed,
'It’s lonely. I’m looking for a woman with the body of Kelly Brook and the mind of Stephen Fry.'
