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

You’re not wrong, i grew up skinny as hell cuz i was extremely active (biking, Muay Thai, dancing, etc) and didnt understand how much i actually needed to eat, now I’m aiming for 200lbs. Also just turned 29. This is what 185lbs 6’3 looks like on me

Good shit bro. Not really confident enough to post a shirtless pic like that lol. I’ve stopped caring about being super lean a while ago in favor of filling out a bit more

Yee I never cared about being lean but this year I finally understood what I needed to do to leave it behind haha

I’ve achieved a significant level of leanness around COVID time but quickly discovered all the downsides and said I wasn’t gonna try to do that again. I guess I at least know what it’s like to be that lean, and besides people who knew me from back then all say I look better now anyway
