Are you intimidated by dudes who are larger than you?

I'm 5'7"/5'8" 155. Low Fat, High Muscle . I'm not scared of most people. However, I begin make the cut off line (ie where "I couldn't take that guy) somewhere around linebacker size lol. It all depends really. Also I'm sure it would depend on the cause- an adrenaline rush is more likely to happen if you get infuriated or self-defensive.

Having said that, I wrestled for 2 years in MS, and 4 in High School on top of other sports, so it wasn't uncommon for me to practice against people bigger than I.

lol you have a napoleon complex

Nah I just like messing around.

I worded that kind of wrong too....this is a better wording:
I always walk around wondering if"I could take that guy

It's just a stupid thing I do and everyone knows I'm not serious when I say it.

Could I really take everyone I wonder that about, hell no. Some of them...sure- I don't typically walk around a weight room with Pro-Bowl Linebackers working out asking myself that question.

I still don't get why so many people think that just because someone is big they can fight....

Not at all. I'm 5'10-5'11. In security I frequently had to take down people much bigger than me...a few more than a foot taller and a hundred pounds heavier. Size is HIGHLY overrated with regards to combat ability. I'm MUCH more afraid of a small person that carries themselves well or has that look in their eye. I am generally aware of those traits as I go about my day, noting those that appear to be a significant danger. Not really an intimidation factor, just awareness for safety.

Normally I am the largest person by far almost anywhere I go.

You too?

5' 5.5"; 165 lbs out-of-shape, 175 in.

Size has nothing to do with intimidation.

Only if he's aggressive. More often, you'll find people who are smarter and big assholes, I fear them. Good thing it doesn't happen often.

Not one bit. I am decent size 5'10", 185lbs. As long as they are not obnoxious/loud or in my face, I don't have any problems.

If we're talking about being intimidated by a random large person when just out in public, then no.

EDIT: 5'7" and 112lbs, for what it's worth.
