People making assumptions before you even meet

[SilentFilm1988]

This post is me wanting to reach out to see if other gay guys have had this issue. Have you ever had guys make assumptions about you before you even meet them?

I feel like guys have made assumptions about me solely based on my height since I'm tall. I have some dating profiles, but there's nothing overtly sexual about them. No sexual preferences listed on my page, and no photos that are revealing or anything, fully clothed.

Here is a recent example of what I'm talking about:

This guy I matched with seemed chill and down to earth, nothing overly sexual about this guys profile either. He wrote on his profile he was into dancing (which I am to) and there was a photo of him doing a dance with a woman. So we chat for a little bit and I mention the photo of him dancing with the girl. I said "she's a lucky girl" and I meant it just as a compliment. The girl getting to dance a with a dapper guy. And this guy responded back to me with: "lol, is that what you want?"

And I was dumbfounded by his response. Like what the fuck does that even mean?

So basically I feel guys think I'm a dominant, masculine, top because I'm a tall person. And this example with the dancing guy is another example of a guy that makes an "assumption". Is there anything I can do with my online profiles to help eradicate getting assumptions from guys?
