Usage of conversely
Hi there,
I was wondering if conversely could be used as a comparison with someone or something else like one does with "unlike", in particular if these two examples are equivalent and correct:

Unlike you, I'm a tall man;
Conversely you, I'm a tall man.

I've googled it but I haven't found anything about the second example, so I tend to say that it's incorrect or just unsual.

Thank you in advance,

Francesco.

Answer

Unlike you, I'm a tall man.
You are a small man conversely I am a tall man.

Conversely has to come after what is being compared to.
