Not all about size. Jet Li is about my size, 5' 6" 130 lbs., and I doubt many people of any size intimidate him. Bruce Lee was about my size.

So I realize that it isn't all about size.

But the vast majority of the time, yeah, size and ability to inflict harm are what lead to "intimidation." There's reason most of the bullies are bigger kids and bouncers are big guys. There's a reason why women don't fight men in the ring, and why there are weight classes in boxing and wrestling. Size and strength make a big difference.
