I'm a big guy...6'1" 256lbs. I have bit of a belly, but overall usually am one of the largest males in the room.

I drawfed everyone in Beijing by at least a 1 foot,

The "security height Ruler" in the subway stopped at my mouth.

People moved out of my way like parting a sea of people.

I could look down the subway car over everyone's heads, and could see nearly everyone looking at the huge white gorilla in the room.

I'll never forget the women who gasped at me as I entered the subway car, like a Yeti had just jumped aboard.

People have different scales and that's OK.
