I'm a big guy. I radiate physicality. No one messes with me. As such, everyone from my mother on worked to beat pacifism into me, not realizing the vulnerable position that leaves you in. Something that led to experiences that make me pretty immune to most violence. As such, I have nothing to prove. I'm very nice around women because reasonably they might be physically intimidated by me. (Oh, I have 6 sisters and 2 brothers, each one quite accomplished.)

To make it short, women do not like passive men. End of my story.
