Are attractive women remaining single because men are intimidated by their beautiful looks?

Well that really depends I think some women are approached by men just never the men they’re wanting as well as use it as a excuse to never put effort or put themselves out there themselves.

It’s totally fine to reject someone who you don’t feel attracted to. But people who have unrealistic expectations who are many times at best narcissists can never figure out they are the ones chasing away anyone even halfway decent. Whether by rejecting them or their personality or they overestimate their looks.

No. That's just silly.

[MisterWack]

I believe they want to be the best version of themselves, workshop their issues, save up money from a good paying job, get an education, and perhaps travel before settling down.

They also want to take their time with relationships since rushing into it, has a lot more risks for the woman than the man. The man can just leave, the woman might have to carry a baby, give birth, pay expensive medical bills, etc.

I believe all women and all men are the Captains of their own ship and control their destiny to go down the currents, ride the waves, and ride out the storms that might come their way. You be your Captain, I’ll be my own and don’t let anyone tell you how to steer your ship.

LOL, no! At least in my case, I've never been intimidated by women. It's just that at the moment after marriage and divorce and experiencing what's out there in the dating market, I'm VERY cautious about letting any woman chat me up or approaching any woman. I'm enjoying the peace and quiet and freedom of being single for the moment. Friends feel compelled to "set me up". I tell them it's the fastest way to end our friendship. Women especially seem to think it's their duty to match me up with their friends.

Beautiful or just OK looking... prove you're not an idiot. We'll take it from there.

Definitely not.

Now for some guys they might have taken enough rejection that thier confidence in who they are and what they bring to the table might be shaken a bit. They might look at a beautiful woman and say to themselves, "yeah, I'm rejected before I've said word one, why bother". But that has nothing to do with her looks and has everything to do with his experience and state of mind.

If a guy feels that way he needs to step away from dating for a bit and re-discover who HE is. No woman is out of his league! She may feel that way, and that's ok for her to think that. But that doesn't make it so. And a man should NEVER allow a woman to convince him of something like that. A man KNOWS who he is.

Most men ask out women who are more "getable" and don't bother even trying to ask out attractive women. Probably not intimidation but more like playing the odds. If a guy doesn't know why a woman would want to date him, he'll go for women who he thinks is in his "league" for lack of a better term.

[Apple1996]

Yes that is a part of it but also men like being the more attractive person in their relationship. I don't know if it's a ego thing but men will purposefully date down. It could maybe be out of fear if their girlfriend was super hot that some other guy would steal her

[7Phoenix7]

Nope. I think a lot of men are not really intimidated by looks. a lot of men are not afraid to talk to women just because they're pretty.

Women reject, and therefore stay single. I speak from experience lol

[Fireguy17]

No. The ones that I have met have had horrible personalities. It was like the world owed them everything because they were pretty.
So, to me it was no thank you.

[Nikki1989]

Some women are just too quick to reject, but to be fair, many men do the same thing.

[Babebytheshore85]

If she were attractive she would be married or engaged. Men take attractive women off the market immediately

[Joshydavid25]

Nah, they're probably remaining single for a plethora of reasons.. One of which their standards are a bit too fantasized..

[beefcakebradybatson]

I think so, because many men are afraid to approach a beautiful woman, thinking her out of their league.

[thegreenyogi]

That could be part of the reason. Although I'd rephrase it like this

[Gaylordslav]

attractive women are single because they have terrible attitudes, or terrible personalities, or have yet to find a guy she thinks is someone she respects and is more attractive than her

[FunkyMonkee]

Probably because they don't wanna have to give up everything they own when they get divorced.

[LiamJHayden]

A lot of guys actually are. I have dated women who are conventionally stunning and often they say they rarely get approached.

[clampfan101]

Sometimes, yes. The whole “out of my league” myth is sadly easy to believe and give into without enough self confidence.

[WhiteThought]

Usually very attractive women are the most problematic

[Ad_Quid_Orator]

It could also be because they have standards that guys around them can't live up to.

[Anonymous]

Yes, many of them remain single because most guys feel intimidated by her hotness.

[Anonymous]

Yeah. Same applies to really handsome men
