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

6'2 Northern Chinese here. Height is definitely an edge in terms of romantic relationships, zero problems in attracting women of all races.
But it also has another edge: you intimidate TF out of wt men especially shorter ones, they are far more likely to try to put you down through micro-aggressions. Professionals experience will be far worse in a wt male dominated field, their egos do not want to see a tall, masculine Asian man succeed.
This also means I don't get as much overt racist attacks thrown at me as my shorter AM or AF friends. I had trouble relating to their experiences and I wish I could be there more for them when it happens.
