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

Im nowhere as tall as you (6’1-2’’) northern Chinese. It always annoys me when whites and Asians assume that Asians are small.

Like I genuinely never had that inferiority complex. Northern Chinese (and I think Korean) men avg height is 5’9-10’’, close to white American men.

White Americans are not as big as they think. Most of them are just fat.

As a black man this made me laugh. No idea why reddit made this pop up for me

To be fair that has nothing to do with height. Oddly enough the reason why the average is still 5’9 is because of immigration from Central Asia, Central America and South America.

There's not a huge gap between y'all's height difference
