My reaction kind of went in the opposite direction. At first, I was a bit nervous, but as I talked to him more, it seemed to me that his strong feelings weren't about erotic interest (or, as I started out thinking, maybe sexism, since he wouldn't let me carry the box myself), but about presence and generosity. My take is that he knew that fat dykes get hassled and treated badly a fair amount, and that he wanted to be part of making something else happen, of treating us differently.
