Being a physically active 6'8" dude with shoulder-length hair, I'm rather content with my appearance on a day-to-day basis and am frequently called conventionally attractive and receive compliments. I often exchange smiles with women in public places, and am told by my pals that I get checked out a non-negligible amount of times. On paper I need not fear of anything, but when push comes to shove, and I'm out at a discotheque making an effort to approach women and exchange numbers, paranoia starts to penetrate my head and I begin fearing that my stature as a big guy only makes me uninviting and intimidating to the average 5'5" woman. I hope that's not the case, but if I were a man of average stature, I would never have to worry about any of this to begin with.

When women claim to be physically intimidated by men or to fear for their safety, it's usually nothing to do with the hypothetical violent capabilities of the man in question compared to other men. It's just that he's talking to them while being insufficiently attractive. Otherwise Jason Momoa would be a object of fear instead of lust.
