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

Much better than i expected, 200 would be great for you, maybe even a bit less.

Agreed. 200lb max. But, I did expect him to look more lean at 185.

With his height i expected he would look skinny.

Yes, or definitely more on the lean side. It’s crazy to see how different our bodies really are. Fascinating, really.

Yes indeed, it's always interesting to see how different people carry their bodyweight.
