+1 yAs you know already, all men or women are not the same. We all have our own preferences, and we tend to stick to them. It's not worth changing yourself around at such a fundamental level that you lose your originality. Your originality makes you who you are to the people around you.
Coming to your question, a lot of guys love a girl who can hold her end, especially in a conversation. Some men are just plain tired of gender roles (including me), and are refreshed at the sight of a female who can speak and act confidently and freely, without showing any measure of timidity.
Personally, I've never been with an out-going woman. I have found that many of my memorable conversations, however, have been with out-going women. But I've also felt exhausted at the end of a conversation with such a woman (being the introvert I am), and never really pursued anything more than a friendship.30 Reply

+1 yThere's that word, 'intimidating' again. Seriously, guys are just not intimidated by anything a girl says or does. Unless you're literally going to kick his ass, then he might be a little intimidated.
A guy is more interested in what you'll DO for him - love and respect him, feed him, and sex him. Beyond that he is looking for a woman who is polite above all, gracious, thankful, respectful, demur, kind, and pretty.
People are not extroverted and introverted at the same time - they are one or the other.
If you're asking if guys like obnoxious girls, the answer is NO. :)42 Reply- +1 y
It seems the question at this point would rather be, what "outgoing" really is, is it just extroversion (which isn't necessarily a negative thing), is it being very open-minded and unreserved (which could make her seem inconsiderate or brash at times), or is it being that obnoxious (wily, tedious, antagonising) girl.
Guys can very well be intimidated by a girl depending on this and on the guy's own personality.
Other than that, I agree with the rest of what you wrote.
The same things apply when genders are reversed (or combined in any way), though.
On a side note, while I agree that extroversion and introversion are opposites and thus a person can't be both at the same time, they're also more like a spectrum and most extroverted people can also exhibit traits that are more frequently attributed to introversion, and vice versa.
Some personalities are more between extroversion and introversion than others.
I assumed that's what the asker was referring to (plus inexperience). - +1 y
@Maxenios Agreed.
As a strong introvert I made a career out of selling, was very good at it. But it was draining.
I also have no problem socializing at a party or similar event. I'm not shy, I just wear out with a lot of social interaction. I need my alone time to recharge. And I'm happy doing things alone. I also highly value a few close and deep relationships vs a lot of shallow ones. I've always only had one best friend, even though I know a LOT of people, acquaintances and such.
Anonymous(30-35)+1 yI was asking that to myself the whole time haha
I'm like you said in the update, kind of both. I love to party and i love to go out, I do have a lot of friends but also not that much haha
also I need my space and one weekend just chilling on my own or with specific people is totally my thing.00 Reply

I assume you are referring specifically to the heterosexual interraction between "attractive"girls and guys.
Whether you are or not, there are connotations that come when a girl comes across as "outgoing"; that she is around a lot of her friends, she is attractive and she is surrounded by a lot of men that are attractive.
This would then imply that their social status is on point and anyone that doesn't seem to, at least, equate to that would be likely perceive themselves as "less" and thus, doesn't add anything meaningful to the outgoing girl. I would say that this is where the "intimidation" on their part would come from.
In short, only those who see their social status less than the outgoing girl would feel intimidated. It's not a given, but it happens a lot.10 Reply
Anonymous(30-35)+1 yIt depends on the personality of the guy. If they're as outgoing, then they should probably be fine. But if someone is more shy and introverted, they may feel like they have to be "on that level" in order to get with her, so it can be pressuring and maybe even annoying to an extent. Depends on the guy, if you're really outgoing then it may help to bring it down to the guy's level if you really want to get to know him, then he may not be so intimidated and actually open up a bit more. Not saying you should change who you are, but that's just my thoughts on that.

+1 yOutgoing is not particularly intimidating in my opinion. Outgoing girls are a turn off to me only when it is on an extreme level... Like where I feel I can't get any space and am overwhelmed by them. Luckily, the vast majority of people are not like that-- even if they are generally labeled as extroverted/outgoing or whatnot. I think I've only met maybe a few people in my life who were so outgoing it was annoying. Not really intimidating-- I didn't feel threatened/intimidated... Just honestly annoyed. Likewise, it may not have even been their outgoingness as the problem but just their personality. Note: I'm pretty introverted myself.
Social people are fun to be around, even if I'm generally laid back. It is a case by case basis most likely. Just let me have a breather or moment to respond in a conversation with some thought, and I'll be fine haha10 Reply
+1 yYes but for introverted guys mostly. Outgoing girls have experienced a lot more things than introverted guys did. If they are talking during a date, the girl will think you are a loser after knowing you haven't been to much cool places or do fun things, and it could cause awkward silence too since you have no interesting outgoing experience to talk about. If you guy are doing an activity on a date, you will embarrassing yourself if your skill is far lower than the girl for Certain activity. It would crush a guy's ego if he sees the girl he likes can do a somersault 20 feet in the air with her arms crossed while skiing but the guy can't even make a turn and fall to the bottom of the when sliding down hill. And the worst part is, outgoing girls tend to meet more guys so introverted guys will think he got tons of competitors, or she has better sexual skills. So outgoing girls could be archenemy for introverted guys.

+1 yFrom a relationship coaches perspective, most men do not find outgoing girls to be intimidating. If they do, it is because 1) they themselves are very shy, 2) they lack confidence, or 3) they themselves are outgoing and they feel as though the girl may steal their thunder. The reason confidence plays a part is because someone who lacks confidence will feel like they can't hold their own in the presence of an outgoing girl.
20 ReplyOutgoing girls with huge social lives may be intimidating with a guy who doesn't have a lot of confidence. He may get paranoid that she is so outgoing, that he's just boring and that she will either leave him or cheat. There's an easy fix for that though, just be all about the dude.

+1 yComing from a introverted person, an outgoing girls isn't very imtimidating. the good thing is that they are great to be around. being around them help to break out of my shell pretty easy and be more open. furthermore, they are the reason they can give me a little bit confidence =D the downside is just that i can't handle the ones who have a bit more energy than usual. because they are very energetic, i can't keep up with them and i get very tired but thats my own problem.

+1 yOutgoing is wonderful. Not necessary, but definitely preferable. So many frail types who hide behind a persona of delicate and shy nature, it's refreshing to see those who can do what they want, when they want, with their own two hands (or whatever tools of the trade for the situation).
10 ReplyOnly if she is touchy. I can deal with a girl who runs her mouth but until recently. I had a hard time dealing with extrovert girls touching me. Thanks to my outgoing female freind I'm kind of over it. I mean I still don't like to randomly be poked but then again who does. If I liked an out going girl I don't think that I would find her intimidating. I would just take time to get used to her energy.
11 ReplyI find people in general intimidating. Outgoing people are just less likely to understand me, and more likely to make fun of me than other introverts. And women are more likely to say something that actually cuts me and hurts, as opposed to men's lazily lobbed, predictable, low-velocity insults. So, yes, I suppose outgoing women are slightly more intimidating.

The only woman I ever met that was actually intimidating was a black belt who had enough strength to knock a full grown man out in one punch to the gut. And even she wasn't that intimidating just a little bit when she fought.00 Reply
+1 yIf they're outgoing, I'm a little more intimidated, but tbh if they're pretty to me makes a girl way more intimidating. If they're both, it takes some courage for me, but I'' take to them and "be cool" if they approach me, I just have trouble approaching them

Anonymous(45 Plus)+1 yI am very introverted, and while outgoing people CAN be intimidating, the person being a woman has nothing to do with it. It just feels like they are pressuring me into acting like an extrovert, which is something I find emotionally draining.

Anonymous(25-29)+1 yNot intimidating, but girls who have high energy tend to come off as... to much. It's hard to focus on what they are saying. So guys tend to avoid them.
We just prefer women who are more soft-spoken. They are more feminine, so they complement us guys well.01 ReplyYeah, they're kind of scary just because they're so confident.
