She may be fearful of men because of a bad experience with a man. Make sure
you feed her and give her treats. Don't force yourself on her. Always treat
her gently. She will learn to trust and love you. It will take time.

Hi, Gregg! First things first: let me introduce you to basic punctuation.

To answer your question: it is not your height. It's your lack of patience.

Do not look directly at the cat.
Act indifferent and let it come to you. Offer it a treat without staring
at it. Do not try to play with it like you would with a dog. Try
dangling toys and see if it wants to play.
