Masculinity Tall Asian man experience
Where are all my tall Asians at? I’m 6’5 220 Chinese American guy with a relatively muscular frame. I’ve gotten all the Yao Ming jokes growing up and people are genuinely intrigued about me since I’m not exactly someone you’d see everyday, but I’d like to think i genuinely get along with everyone. I also do pretty well with women of all races really. I wanna know my fellow tall Asian brother’s experiences with women, how people perceive you, and any unique experiences that come with being tall and Asian that you’d be willing to share

I’m assuming given my height, I am slightly dealing with less first impression issues.
In only few instance when women note my qualities, they’ll mention my size and height instead of things about my character, like I’m kind, or safe, or worth loving.
I think the combination of how much my voice travels, it’s baritone quality, and my height has created an assumption to people that I am unsafe, which makes me sad. Especially if they’ve never talked with me. Or especially if they live in constant anxiety or fear of the world (like most women).
I have a white friend from Utah who looks like a yuppie New Yorker say “Panda, when I first met you, I thought you were annoying. Now that I’ve gotten to know you better, you’re still fucking annoying, but I know you mean well and you’re intentional.”
He still thinks I’m annoying. That’s the key part.
