Due to my size, very few girls are willing to overcome the intimidation and come right up to me. I'd say that I'm at least a foot taller than 90% of girls I meet, and for pretty much any girl with an average body type (not really big or really small,) I would be able to put my right arm around them and be able to touch my left shoulder with room for her to breathe. As for guys, the height/size gap is narrowed a lot, so the intimidation factor isn't as prevalent.
Result: I get hit on by more guys than girls. Neither number is particularly high, but they're close to even with the number of guys a bit higher. If I were a bit shorter and thinner, the number of guys would probably go up because there wouldn't be the fear of being beaten senseless by a 6'8" homophobe (I have no problem with anyone, but homophobia is so widespread that most guys can be expected to at least call someone "fag" or worse.)
