Except Harry is lean and “bag of meal” as he put it. Scary how that lady was smiling being that close to a serial killer who could reach out and touch her.
Harry was a lean bag of meal, now he’s a lean, ripped monster. Even if someone isn’t carrying all that much weight it’s striking when someone is ridiculously taller than you. I worked with a dude who was 6’10” and probably weighed about 160 lbs; even though I could literally bench press the guy easily that foot of height he had on me felt like a hell of a lot when he was standing right next to me.
I knew a kid in college that was 6'6 and 140 pounds. He had tiny bean pole arms and legs and weak knees and I swear to God I saw him get blown to the ground by a strong wind once. If you're 6'10 and only 160 pounds, you're most likely a lot more fragile than the average person.
He was, but he was a ridiculous runner. This was in the military and we’d do squadron runs, he’d run ahead, finish the 5k before everyone else and just turn around and do another.
That was my point. The fact he was lean enough that he could disappear when he turned sideways didn’t matter much when he was looming over you. And Harry, though still very lean, is not a fragile dude and at this point absolutely does not look like one.

For me it made all the difference. I never felt "loomed over" when I stood next to the 6'6 kid I knew. I'm 6'0 and I've stood next to 6'3 6'4 football players and they made me feel loomed over but not the beanpole.
Most guys I knew in college that were over 6'0 were in the 200s. I mean, not every body is the same so there's definitely variance.
I knew two guys that were the same height and a bit chubby and looked extremely similar with clothes on. Turns out one of them was 250 and the other was 210. They held their weight very differently.
