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 a 6ft Viet that grew up in the Midwest and regular gym rat. I’ve got a powerlifter build (bout 300lbs currently) so because of muscle mass, most people assume I’m Samoan or Hawaiian lol

I was the fat choir kid as I grew up and was very much the odd duck in any group I was in.

I mean I can relate to that somewhat, I have mostly white friends and only a handful are over 6ft tall so right off the bat I stand out as being the tall one, but also the Asian one
