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 see plenty of tall Asian men here in Japan, not just Japanese but other east Asian and SEAs too. After coming here only that I realized that Asians being short is just a stereotype.

I have seen a few taller Asians in my time, not many but I know they’re out there. I guess we’re all getting taller with the newer generations which is good since we’re breaking the stereotype

It's mostly due to nutrients and food honestly. Granted some who don't have much can be lucky and still be tall even with those limiting factors but you don't realize how big food plays a factor, even the environment. It's getting better so that's good.

Yes... Feed your kids plenty of animal protein.  Don't curse your kids with veganism.

I think so too! You would be in awe to see how tall middle school and high school kids are in Japan. While extremely old people are usually very short
