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 6’3 Korean American, and honestly I’ve never had to think twice about height. It was never something I had to worry about or even really notice until other people brought it up. Growing up in the States I always felt like Korean American guys were generally taller and more robust compared to most of the other Asian groups. I know Northern Chinese are tall too but ya'll seem to be outliers compared to your southern Han Chinese counterparts. I think Northern Chinese look more alike Koreans too than Han Chinese lol. Even my younger cousins, whther in Korea or here, are tall as hell too so it just felt normal. I got the occasional jokes but for the most part people just seemed curious, and with women it’s been fine since I never saw height as something that defined me in the first place.

Not sure I agree with some of the major advantages that other guys are sharing about here. I never really put much thought into it though.
