Men! Please answer...?

Question

(Obviously if you are neither tall and/ or large, no need to respond)

1. Your height and size can be intimidating to a smaller person?

2. Do you ever use these factors to intimidate others?

3. Are you aware of this or not conscious of your size in proximity to others, regardless if you are an overall kind person (it is still intimidating)

I only ask, because I know I am very aware of how I can be perceived as a woman and a minority, regardless of who I really am...so I turn this on to men...

Answer 1

Im 6ft 2, and yeah, if someone is pissing me off, even though im skinny as, i try to use my height to intimidate them.. usually works.. not all the time!

Answer 2

im not a tall bloke and i know what you are sayin i find that most taller or bigger people do use their size to try intimidate smaller people but i also find the fact that they think they can makes them true to the saying big and stupid.because every intelligent person  knows size is useless if all u can do with it is intimidate. and aswell as that big people are too slow and clumsy

Answer 3

The main difference between Men and Women, i.e. my Mum & my Dad on this issue

Is Women in general learn to accommodate, live with and make peace with the fear of this and that in life.

Whereas men in general are ever seeking ways to challenge and overcome their own fearfulness, we use many things such as movies to inspire, or heroes to look up to and imitate, and we find ways to unchain the spirit!

Answer 4

I am 6'1" and 245lbs very muscular and yes I do sometimes purposely use my size to my advantage. Never in a wrong way though.

Answer 5

1.) Yes, My size can be intimidating to 5 or 4 footers cause i am 6-7 ft.

2.) No, Not unless they use it others, i do it to them.

3.) Yes i am aware of my size, and height, i am not skinny, i am tall and buff, so i am 100% aware.

Hope these responses can help you. = )

Answer 6

I'm 6 ' 1"

1. Not really.

2. No.

3. Not conscious. It comes down to confidence rather than physical size in my opinion.

Answer 7

Indeed, there are many that uses their size as an advantage point over others and for the purpose of one thing, and that would be to be in your face. What is the meaning of Intimidate? The most incredible word here though is Moron. I love this meaning= Mentally Deficient Person....I guess that would pretty much conclude this answer. God Speed to ya.

Answer 8

ha size has nothing to do with it...Im 5ft7...and used to get called shorty by a cousin all the time...he was only like 6ft...

he even patted my head when he called me shorty!

so i kicked him in the ankle and he fell like a ton of bricks...and he cried!

needless to say he never did it again.

so you tall guys...don't be trying to intimidate us....we may just kick you in the ankle. :D

alright who gave me a thumbs down? im gonna kick him in the ankle! lol

Answer 9

I'm a skinny little runt,  but ill take on anybody, provided thers no more than 3 come at any one time

Answer 10

I know where you are coming from with this question

So I will try to explain where I stand

I’ve learnt never to make fear my companion in life

Other people is not responsible for how you feel, it is what you know about your own self that makes you fearful  

I have had this all my life; even in university I had some woman complaining to the class of how loud I speak

I did not, or will not have any of it, and made it clear, my size is my size, I am a large BLACK male PROUD I will not slink in any corner because some one is afraid, their fear is their problem not mine, and if I were to take onboard their fear then I would also become fearful too.

I’m not bothered by who is afraid

I see men work with dangerous animals such as Bears, Alligators, and Big cats, should they go to them with fear because of size, it would be stupid to the point of idiocy, you would think them mad

It was my mother that taught me to walk in faith, and not in fear

It is NOT your size that is your problem, it’s you mind i.e. (thinking) I had a boss who was a small woman, and I have seen her handle some difficult customers who were towering giant men, in ways that left me with AWE and WONDER

So when you know yourself, you find all you ever need, this is why people climb Mountains, and why people like, ‘Geraldine "Jerrie" Fredritz Mock’ & Kay Cottee did what they did, its about conquering fear.

Most boys attempt to overcome fear in their teen years!!!

"There is nothing to fear BUT FEAR ITSELF"

Answer 11

6'5" and 245 lbs. Broad Shoulders, muscular chest and legs. And I have used my intellect rather than size to intimidate people. When I perceive that my height intimidates them I ask to sit down. That mitigates my height advantage.

It is a genuine pleasure to meet somebody taller and to talk up to somebody for a change. So I can understand your issue. It is all about your perception. Perception is reality. What you perceive is real is real to you.
