While I would hate for this post to be interpreted as or have the replies turn into body shaming I think it is important that we have realistic expectations when it comes to the ratio of our bodies and our scissor partners. The facts are that the ratio between what is being squeezed and how the squeeze is applied matters greatly both from a force production standpoint as well as joint strain. I recently had a rather young, 6'2, fairly overweight boy over and I tried to squeeze him in a straight scissor and while I did get him begging for release because he couldn't breathe I felt a lot of lateral strain on my lower leg. I'm not small, I'm 5'10 and about 200lbs right now and I'm having some guys as short as 5'4-5'7 wanting to crush me and I get concerned with people that small going after me. This definitely applies to body triangles as well. It's rather uncomfortable to have to lock up on your foot or ankle, you should be able to lock up right against the top of your foot but squarely on your shin, but you also don't want to use a body triangle if your locking leg doesn't touch your foot because your jobber is so small. That's the problem with no arm triangle chokes (and why you have to get your own arm in) is it becomes difficult to create pressure when there is open space.
It is my personal belief that if you want to take a scissor you should try to maintain as lean of a body as you can simply so that you have as many options open to you as well as to ensure the best scissor experience with minimal strain to your sadist. While it is a bit douchy of me, I often turn down larger guys because I'm already having knee problems as it is
