Would you date someone you are intimidated by?

Question

What kind of person would be intimidating for you? For me, it would be a girl that drives a cool car and is cute at the same time. I’d feel like I had no chance.

What do you mean by intimidating? I remember in Highschool I had a friend that told me I was scary looking.. I was surprised. My friend said that she said I was intimidating. That I looked like if someone messed we with me I wouldn't let myself and get revenge. I found this peculiar because I look innocent and have a baby face. All the teachers and authories always trusted me and treated me with respect. Tbh I think my friend said this to hurt my feelings. Cos why else would she bring that up out of the blue? When I asked my friend what did the girl mean by this, she didn't really care to explain. I had to pry it out of her. Oops sorry I have rambled on... what exactly do you mean intimidating in your opinion?

Depends why someone is intimidating, if he has a anger issue and it scares me, nope. If it I am just nervous around him because of whatever reason, then sure... that fades and will go away.

What you describe above, cool car and cute, that isn't intimating, that is your own insecurities. You've already decided, you have no chance. I would hope that you will still give her chance, especially if she is into you.

What about a common sense perspective, please. She/He is here too, Loser... Put him/her in their place whether it be leaning against sports car, singles meet-up, male auction for charity, assortment styled Bar, and/or on/in Commonwealth park misdirecting a missing and almost creepy love to his/her dog.

He/She has the same general intelligently designed gaping and empty hole generalized under Needs... Is the pitch not level now?- So what, they've got exquisite window or runway dressing. Ultimately, it is highly likely that they are no prettier than you, therefore, introspectively feel, Man-Up and extrospectively interpret their same Reality.

I briefly dated a 6'6"/197 cm Native American/Samoan woman before. Claudia Jeanette aka CJ. She was curvy and fine. Never got to sleep with her (that was on my Bucket List!), but it felt really nice! So obviously, yeah I'd date someone who came off intimidating. Six-foot-six CJ

MrOracle · Answer

I can't think of a woman I've ever been intimidated by. I've worked with models, actresses, and wealthy women, and none of them ever intimidated me. I've been intimidated by a few men in my life - men who were very physically imposing and capable and who clearly didn't worry about the law - but a woman's beauty or desirability doesn't intimidate me.

coachTanthony · Answer

Never intimidated just annoyed by the masculine behavior.

I personally get intimidated by men who have the full physical package, which is unfortunately my biggest downfall, because even though that man exists, and I have seen him on numerous occasions, we can't be together, even though the pair of us are single. In other words, I am attracted to fat (formerly athletic), sexy men. The man that I am extremely attracted to is a formerly toned man who is now overweight, with thick muscular thighs and calves (mmm... yummy), and thick and muscular arms. He has such an adorable [and intimidating] face; his teeth are perfect pearly whites, he has brown eyes, a cute nose, well kept short, straight hair, three chins (with the chin that he was born with looking plump as ever, followed by his second chin which is massive.) I just wish I could have sex with him.

However, I would also be intimidated by said man if he was abusive.

And yes, to answer the other part of your question (which I have seen below), he definitely does have many dating options, due to being hot as fuck.

TenderFantasy · Answer

I am a little bit late in the game since you already picked MHOs, but for me, it would be a  no ! Now WHY would I date someone with whom I was intimidated by? ! That would make no sense! Lol. To be intimidated by someone means you are a bit SCARED of them. Either that or that you'd think that they were somehow better than you. Then you'd act accordingly, and sabotage the relationship that way! It would sorta be like a self-fulfilling prophesy! It wouldn't work, and your insecurities would show up, and your partner would be VERY uncomfortable by it (if they were a good person). OR they would take advantage of your low self-esteem enough to become abusive! Treat you in an ill or disrespectful way! ... Trust me, you don't have to SAY that you are unconfident because it will show up in your actions non-verbally!!

I think maybe so if I was a bachelor. I think what would intimidate me most with a girl who had epic fame, like Taylor Swift. I would be worried that I become the source material for her next song singing about ex-boyfriends.

But in a sense, I don't think that is so bad even though it is so scary. Because say she writes a song about me and all my faults as an ex-boyfriend. I can still tell everyone I slept with Taylor Swift. I'm pretty sure I'll never become so famous like that myself so it's not so bad.

Tranquility_Lady · Answer

No because if they scare me and I can't feel equal or comfortable around my lover there is no point if I feel intimidated and like not in a good mood it's not a good thing I should feel equal to my partner at all time however if they are extremely successful like my boyfriend I still should never feel intimidating but happy for their success. Also what you mention in your post isn't intimidation it's your insecurities. Intimidation and just being insecure are to different things hun. Have a nice day. No one intimidates I guess lol

Girls who are imminently attractve don't always have unlimited options.

1. For every good lookig girl walking down the street, there is a guy somewhere who got tired of fucking her.

2. Sometimes, everyone is intimidated and the girl ever gets anyone expressing interest.

3. Pretty girls fart, burp, vomit, get diarrhea, have personality flaws, are sometiimes psychotic, can be high maintenance, and a host of other things that suggest that are not the chosen race. You shouldn't exalt a girl just because she has a cute face.

7-11... Those things are everywhere... The other stuff is bull anyway... A pretty girl hanging off an expensive car has STOP written all over it. she's not driving the car she's hanging out on the passenger side desperate for people to look at her. People like me... Not intimidated because im not intrested in either. Chase that and thats exactly what your entire life will be. Chasing after someone or somthing that will cost you everything... can't seenthe pump but ill bet she's putting in 87 instead of 93 cus daddys cards are already maxed out. When she screws up the car running it with the wrong octane... Ill go to the auction and buy it for half price... there's wisdom about the girl i won't share cus people are waaaay to sensative to the truth. But its there

connemara_crocodile · Answer

I did and it didn't end well. She was very smart, very independent, she sang very well, she was elegant... she wasn't the prettiest (she was more cute looking than anything) but that mattered little with her personality by her side.

I felt she was better without me and I stand by it. She's better alone, and I think she still is after 5 years from our break up.

It was the mix of intelligence and independence that I admired so much that it intimidated me.

Chazmatazz269 · Answer

I’m not generally intimidated by people, least of all women, especially in the way you’re describing. You have to be willing and able to do tremendous physical harm to me to intimidate me, and in order to do that you have to be prepared to receive tremendous physical harm in return.
If you’re “intimidated” by another human being because you place them above yourself in any given way, you have self esteem issues and you should seek professional help.

Weapon77 · Answer

It's worth a shot 🤷‍♂️ I haven't even tried talking to them, but the only girls who intimidate me are really hot ones. Like super athletic physiques, large bust and hip to waist ratios. And I'm not even sure it's intimidation exactly. More that it feels like a waste of timr to talk to them. But that's silly, so I'm working on it. But I try to give anyone a chance, so I'd date a girl like that, especially if she talked to me first.

Moose304 · Answer

There is not a human alive that will ever intimidate me. I have dated women with higher IQs and made MUCH more money than I do. I have also had several to beat my pants off playing Chess. I love a challenge. In fact, I thrive in this kind of atmosphere. But to be intimidated? Not going to happen.

Anonymous · Answer

I wouldn’t mind but I’m a coward and probably never ask that guy out. I’ve been in that situation before, I play football soccer all time. There’s a guy that is super intimidating to me because of his amazing soccer skills and qualities + his looks and attitude towards life are something else. He is so serious and intimidating that I just can’t, but sometimes daydream I would 😂

I never met a girl that was cool and attractive but have met a girl that looked intimidating cause she looked scary like she was mad all the time. She certainly was intimidating as she didn't look to be approachable. I always felt uneasy around her and nervous.

SimonTrent · Answer

I told my love interest that I've always thought that she was intimidating in the sense that she has more confidence than me. She was shocked and disagreed and I said well, confident in yourself being socially awkward (read that on her when we met). At that point we both agreed lol

TheUniqueOne96 · Answer
