Guys: Is being called intimidating a compliment for you?

Is being called intimidating a compliment?

Would you like it if a girl you liked said that to you? especially if you were big and tall?:)

[ScruffyNerfHerder]

Coming from a man, yes (haha, kneel before me...)

Coming from a woman, no, absolutely not. At least that's how it is for me. I want a commanding presence, not a frightening one. I deliberately go out of my way not to be intimidating around women. A few reasons:

1) it makes it much easier to get a date if a girl doesn't feel threatened by you. Go figure, haha.
2) it promotes a much healthier relationship with women in general, platonic or romantic
3) I sadly know a lot of sexually abused women, my sisters among them--I'd much rather be a source of comfort than fear

I got called "scary" AND "intimidating" by girls... ( I'm 6'2 and neither bulgy nor skinny).

No, it's not a compliment, I actually wondered what's wrong with me :( I'm no brawler or something :/

[DanHart]

It made me feel miserable about myself!

I think it is the 100 push-ups that scares them

Hell yeah, that's well hot. Tells me I'm doing things right, makes girls go cute and makes a moment. The bitchy ones say it in a different way though so na on them. Don't get me wrong I don't do it to be intimidating it's just nice when girls go cute and give you that look.

No i wouldn't want her to be scared of me. Also im really not that muscular so I'd think she's fucking with me.

A good complement would be to say that he makes you feel safe.

No one has said I'm intimidating out of the blue, but girls that eventually met me have mentioned it.
I'm not even a big guy, I'm a little man. It confuses me.

[AlwaysBelieving]

Yes.. Apparently I can be at 5'4" 135 lb. I think it's a look that I can give. Apparently I also have piercing eyes.

[StickStickity13]

No I'd be afraid of scaring a girl I want her to feel comfortable

[meatballs21]

No, it absolutely is not a compliment!
