Someone being large isn't intimidating. Someone being large AND cussing me out? Yes, *that* is intimidating. It wasn't just that you're a big guy, it's that you were *aggressive* towards her. And for all you know she's had a bad experience with guys who have cussed at her before.
Hell, I don't trust men in general. I usually have to know and interact regularly with a guy for at least half a year before I'm moderately comfortable being alone in the same room with him. Takes a year or longer before I'll be alone in a car with one. I was stalked when I was 17. The guy tried to break into my house to rape me. In college I had an emotionally unstable male fixate on me and try to get me to break up with my then-fiance and he hit me once. Not hard, and only in the arm, but still. I was also followed by a guy around downtown after midnight when I was heading home from escorting a disabled female friend to the lightrail. I thank every power that may or may not be that I had a dagger with me that night and that that was enough to turn me from 'easy prey' into 'not worth it'. And yes, the guy was following me... as I was walking circles eventually.
So, I doubt it was your size, but instead your attitude and body language.
