Some people may be intimidated by attractive people, but it depends on whether you're talking about natural beauty or artificially enhanced beauty. When people encounter others who have chosen to artificially enhance themselves, they often see these individuals as superficial and self-serving. The cost to be involved with them is generally viewed as being too high, so that opportunity may be passed by.
Some physically attractive people don't like the attention they get for their looks, so they choose to be aloof to minimize undesired attention. Others try too hard to look good, implying their priorities may not be ideal.
People who find themselves intimidated by natural beauty generally feel insecure. Their actions have nothing to do with the beautiful person but with their own sense of feeling defective or not capable of measuring up. Only the person who feels inadequate can do anything about this pattern. It's not something you can fix for others.

Yes, I am intimidated by my good looks. I do get some fairly hot ones pick me up occasionally so they aren’t intimidated. Since I have had my share of the “beautiful—attractive women” they really do not affect my ability to just simply talk to them like some old hag for example. They are all the same to me. I will bang an average or a hot just as well. However, the “beautiful—attractive women” tend to be dead and cold in bed.
Yes! There's one guy I work with that looks straight up like a male model, like he's absolutely gorgeous. I've gotten to know him pretty well and we talk shit to each other now. 😂 But every time I see him it's still like "DAYUM". I definitely feel like he's way out of my league.
Yes.
I'm pretty attractive with confidence of a narcissist but I still do.
The important thing is not to focus on that part. It's just natural. We evaluate attractive people more positively. Pretty privilege is real. Just don't let them use you for a doormat.

If a guy is out of my league, I won’t bother liking him but I only know one desirable single guy who I never considered trying to date.
It can make you more self conscious which unfortunately can come off as less confident. However in the best case scenario the other person likes you too and they will give some leeway. Worse case scenario the other knows you like them but they don’t feel the same so they exploit you (friendzone is most common).
A friend of mine gave me some good advice in college once. Yes it’s cynical but it helped. He said if you ever meet a very attractive woman try to find one of her flaws and focus on it (weird nose, some extra weight, annoying voice). That doesn’t mean it will turn you off but it remind you that’s she’s human. It will be easier to be yourself and you have to constantly remind yourself of that.
Also there was a good tip from the old movie there is something about Mary to “clear the pipes” before going on a date with someone very attractive. Not sure if that makes a difference to women but for guys it’s actually a good idea.I think there is a certain type of attractive man and woman, who meet another attractive man/woman and want to sort of flirt with them by putting them down or teasing them, in order to sort of “test” themselves. Obviously not everyone is like this, but I have seen it a few times
I'm not. Are you?
Tell us why you think beautiful people are any different than anyone else besides their appearance. They are still just regular people.
Any one that is intimidated by that, well, that's on them.
Or put another way, "Why wasn't I born rich instead of good looking?" LOLYes. Generally pretty girls have a lot of women who hate them for seemingly no reason whatsoever. Boys are also jealous of boys they see as a threat and seem to be hostile towards the perceived threat. I have noticed a lot of girls deliberately befriend girls who are conventionally less attractive than they are so they can get an ego boost and also because they would feel too insecure to be friends with other girls who are pretty.
I don't know if "intimidating" is the right word. I think we are comfortable around average-looking people and average intelligent people. Some people become uncomfortable around super good-looking people and super-intelligent people. Because we are on different playing fields.
There are a lot of people that are o. Both I look at the person on the inside for who they really are if I like that person then the out side is just a bonus most people think what they see is what they get it's not true or maybe it is depending on how you look at it but if you are to date the person on the outside you will soon realize if there is a person on the inside and that's who they really are
Im really attractive and its intimidating to girls sometimes. Based off they specifically told me so. My girlfriend said i intimidated her when we first met but she knew she wanted me and just threw caution to the wind because im way out of her league. in my opinion she's an 8 w no makeup. But I've heard this from other girls as well.
I wouldn't say im intimidated by hot girls especially because hot isn't hot to me. When i was like 15 i learned about hot girls. They still have issues. Just fixate on the ugliest feature and it makes the "hot magic" disappear and they seem like every other jane plain to you.Usually no, but I can sense when someone's not how they appear almost immediately. It could be because of the friends they chose or something about their character that just spells trouble. Usually I give a person a chance but the ones I was suspicious about confirm I was right down the line.
Yes, they are but let's really dive into why! First, the reason they are intimidated is that they are pieces of garbage themselves. They do not have self-control so they become obese and ugly. Since it is easier to be obese than to take the time and watch your weight, they want to demonize people that actually care about health and fitness.
It's less about intimidation and more about recognizing that this is a bar that's a bit high to reach. Men react to that differently based on who they are, some will chose to keep away and stick to average women and others, like myself, see it as a challenge and a motivation to better themselves work on their looks their style their careers in order to go up in the "leagues" and eventually be able to charm a woman like that.
Yes I would find it intimidating. Not that I wouldn't talk to them or behave normally. But I wouldn't never try anything that would even come close to flirting. Than again I generally wouldn't think a woman would have any romantic interest in the first place.
Yes and no.
Yes I´m partly intimidated because it makes me uncomfortable being around knowing that I´m not that pretty.
At the same time I´m avoiding them because I haven´t met many women that are very beautiful and nice at the same time.Women? No. Men? Yeah. And I'll be the first to admit it's bc I'm an insecure trashcan. No girl is gunna pick me over him. Does that make me not want to he his friend? No. But if I have a girlfriend I'm extremely insecure to have us all in the same room. Am I right? No. Doesn't matter. I am that way.
Yes of course men and women both can intimated if they come across the opposite who is extremely gorgeous and has a good personality as well.
It is true.im not intimidated by anyone with a high status of attraction but im more intimidated by a high status person who can do, who exceeds over the crowd. Like controlling 10 business, having the time to have a meeting with all of them to make sure everything is stable, like dude 10 business is insane. you get profit from all 10 but the responsibility is crazy. People who show and talk less are more intimidating.
I am a natural beauty and I feel like people are intimidated about that a lot to be honest
I just treat them like they're normal.
Talking to some nice hunnies yesterday.
The only thing that bothers me about cold approach is having nothing to talk about!Depends on your definition of intimidated. Regardless it varies from setting to setting and person to person but general rules do exist that we treat attractive people differently one way or the other.
Men? No. I don't even think about it with men. If you're cool with me, I'll be cool with you. Yeah, attractive women still do intimidate me, but not as much as they used to. That's a tough instinct to deprogram totally, it really is.
