How tall does someone have to be to intimidate you?

Edit Post

Because of how we were educated it is likely that taller people intimidate us to some extent so how about you guys?

What if it's a tall person who weights 200lbs of pure muscle?

I also want to know who won that fight.

I always fought shorter kids but that was because I was taller than average. Being aggressive is what matters.

My martial arts instructor always talks about the long legs and weight, if a student has both he will give them special preference.

Rocky Marciano didn't have a good reach his arms looked short and he was a successful fighter.
