What are things that intimidate you about the opposite sex?

Question

Straight up, the motivation for this is that I see girls clam that guys are just intimidated. I haven't experienced that except for a single occasion on some dating app a couple of years ago where she was more adventurous than I am and could prove it. We're talking reincarnated Magellan/alligator wrestler/desert trader all at once and at age 25 levels of adventurous, and it was as almost like, "all right, I really can't keep up with this girl." I think I shot my shot anyway, but that was the one time where I would be mogged and would struggle to keep pace, let alone lead. So, what intimidates you?

there many reasons guys nowadays are intimidated:
-modern women's standards are too high
-they are still into marriage and commitment
-(in the USA) they can easily rip you off when divorcing you
-they can abuse/hurt/beat you without consequence since our society things men are never victims
-they can easily abuse the victim card (touched her accidentally -> eww thats rape, you go to Prison for 10 years)
-they set the stakes and decide when its getting intimate, otherwise its rape
-when men do their own thing its selfish, when women do their own stuff they are strong and independant
etc.

It is a little scary to think that somebody could rip your beating heart out of your chest and throw it on the ground and stomp on it.

I think some guys start out nice and turn mean or abusive once you are closely tied with them so being able to spot bad apples early is something I consider to be important

men's ego say they are not intimidated until shit gets real and they run

Shaggy_KW · Answer

As a male, women are scary. In today's day in age, a woman can say I raped her with no proof and I will spend years in prison and be registered a sex offender. I can be a victim of domestic abuse and the court will not believe me that my wife/spouse did it. I can be a victim of rape or sexual assault and it will be seen as impossible because "a woman would never assault a man" Men are raised to believe that their feelings should be supressed and don't matter. A woman can do whatever she wants to a man and get away with it because of the stereotypes put against both genders.

I don't feel intimidated per se, I might find some things challenging, but that makes it all more interesting to me, which is a great thing to see.

But some people are definitely intimidated by others, or some situations. That is very clear, but it doesn't mean everyone is or has to be at some point.

Like actual intimidation, if guys are much bigger than me and behave very aggressively I will definitely be on edge but that's less intimidation more just wariness. As far as romantic stuff goes there have been times when I thought a guy was out of my league but that feeling has gotten less with experience.

Men who don't control their emotions or lack a healthy balance of them. These kinds of people are ticking timebombs and it's scary to think that they could go off at any moment and end up hurting me and others around by their behavior.

The way some men dress and their body language can be quite intimidating at times when it's mixed with a big prideful ego. I feel like those kinds of men can and will try and take advantage of anyone who seems vulnerable.

I'm not going to lie, men who are extremely intelligent intimidate me.

Sonorous · Answer

Probably the power they hold when it comes to morphing people's opinions of you. People are likely to believe a woman before a man and that can be a scary thing if you encounter malevolent women. It can leave a person feeling hopeless. And we all know what often comes after that.

DavidDong · Answer

The only thing I'm intimidated by is that they open their mouths way too much.
Don't want to make bad impressions, and If I want to have a relationship they can yap to others in their opposition.

I've had my experiences, wish things were less critical?

cth96190 · Answer

There is nothing about females that intimidated by.
I am, however, wary of interactions with females, because of the risk of false allegations and because the legal system is biased so greatly in favour of females.
The prudent course of action is to minimise all forms of interaction with females and to record everything.

Quite often, when a woman says she thinks men find her intimidating, it's just her ego trying to protect her from the truth.

I've never felt intimidated by the opposite sex. I've just gotten the vibe from a number of women who straight up did not like me. I avoided them, but it wasn't an intimidation thing.

I am fearful of the power that women have to wreck my life with a single false accusation. Fearful enough that I stay away from them as do many men.

Nothing, We are all made from the same creator. The only things that make us different is our gender / private parts. There is nothing to fear, but fear itself.

Thinking that the reason the opposite sex doesn't want you is down to intimidation is just a cope.

Usually the women who claim men are intimidated by them are just high maintenance and not worth it. They mistake men not bothering with them for fear.
