Guys do get intimidated by a few girls. I would not say all. It depends on the guy as well. I am an outspoken guy. I am not as scared as the other guys. But when it comes to these quiet mysterious girls I am very scared. I don't know how they would react
Yea we are but we have to do cuz you girls would not do it
We choose.
You get chosen.
The only thing that really intimidates me about women is the possible time investment I'd sink into them only to lose it on a whim.
I'm pretty particular on what I want my lover's personality to be like (I'm flexible on looks) so when I see most women.. yeah, I'd rather be single. I have plenty of social interaction as it is already with friends and such.
From having guy friends in high school, I know there were a few that were intimidated but it was more to do with their sense of self.
I didn’t/don’t get approached often by men who are my age. It was always older men. Could never figure it out with guys my age, and GAG wasn’t around back when I cared enough to find out.
When I was 23.. I was actually intimidated by a woman much younger than I, who kept coming on to me... I was actually intimidated..
Yes!! The answer is yes!! When you have a woman who is 10 years younger than you naked and laying out telling you that she wants you... it's very intimidating
Intimidation is a very general idea. There are tons of different types. Sometimes, appearance alone is intimidating. A gorgeous woman can unintentionally scare away a lot of guys because they think she is too pretty for them. Same can be said about personality. If you are a super nice person, they may feel like they will "ruin your innocence" and stay away to "preserve your innocence". It sounds dumb, but it's true.
It depends. If I'm ever intimidated by a girl and subsequently deterred in speaking to them on an intimate level then it's not so much her success that is the issue, rather my own insecurity and lack of confidence. I don't have any attractive qualities beyond my personality, and unfortunately, that both has its drawbacks and isn't the only contributing factor to attraction in the real world. One thing's for certain, though, it's not a status thing for me. Can't say the same for other guys.
Some men yes, but you'll know when that's the case. Eventually, you will pick that up, it's always the guys I really want to talk to me that is too intimidated. They act like little bitches while in my head I'm like "Talk to me, I know you like me you dumbass, oh no the biggest asshole in the room is coming towards me, Christ, look how confident and rude this jerk is".
Often guys don't want to talk to girls as they don't want to come across as "the biggest asshole in the room, who has so much confidence and is rude" it can sometimes be a fine line to tread.
@SamuelTB This is why I think women should smile flirtatiously to the ones they want to talk to them. The biggest asshole knows himself, he's a rude, obnoxious fuckboy who is aggressive and cocky, is that you?
Definitely not a rude obnoxious fuck boy, frankly i detest those types of guy's. Im not a completely shy shut in but im certainly not that
Absolutely. I wouldn't say I'm intimidated by women though, more that I'm intimidated by putting myself out there to a woman, as I imagine is pretty universal. Guys have feelings and insecurities that are hard to get around too. All of my first dates my heart was pounding so hard that I was positive she could hear it from a mile away.
Depends on per person tbh, but I'm a guy thats in that kind of field in a sense that I don't EVER, approach girls first. This is because my lack of experience with girls in general has me so that I don't know how, and I also want to avoid embarrassment of asking out and being turned down. So its not that someONE truly intimidates me, its the consequences that intimidates me.
Consequences are a part of life mate. I been rejected before but i just think "fuck em" at the end of the day.
I definitely do when I'm talking with and extremely good looking female. Thats if I even mustard up enough courage to talk to her. she really has to be a looker though. Other wise I have no problem with talking other than too much. I hate the word intimidate. I don't think that would be correct by definition in my case, at least.
That's because the modern male these days is transforming. A deadly combination of the #metoo trend, skinny jeans, hormones in food and Justin Beiber is causing the modern mans penis to shrivel and retract into his body and turn into a vagina. You're welcome 🎓
Omg I just loved that reply!

Rejection can be quite a blow to the ego. Feels like shit. So to approach a girl takes guts for a lot of guys especially If they like her (stakes are higher).
So girls can be intimidating in that way, yeah. Its not like they're literally scared of you. They're scared of getting discarded and brushed off, getting their egos dragged in the dirt ^^
It's not just a ego problem though. I'll just speak for me, if I were to try asking a girl for her number, I then have her attention directly on me and she's not thinking of anyone at that point but me. At this stage she is now literally the judge of me entirely. If she says no she has rendered a negative judgement and I know she doesn't have a good opinion of me and I'm less than what she wants. And from there comes the embarrassment because her attention is still on me. You get the point.
Well to me that still falls under ego because after all what does the judgment of a girl who has never talked to you before mean about you as a person? Nothing. Nothing at all. She can't actually judge you as a person because she doesn't know you.
And yet the rejection and embarassment can still be crushing despite the fact that she can't make a real judgement about you as a person. So Id say its more of a bruised ego than anything else. And that doesn't make it any less painful, dissappointing or embarassing.
True, she's not judging you by anything she knows about you, but she's still judging you by your appearance, your attractiveness.
Yeah and by how you came across. So unless most of your identity is rooted in how you look (can be the case) then its to me still a blow to the ego
Agreed.
I feel ya. I haven’t gotten to much female attention lately and I myself have been told I look angry and unnaproachable but if your talking physically intimidating (like scary) for me no. But if their beautiful then I’m not gonna even waste my time showing interest. So yes and no , I don’t know if the same applies the other way around or if it’s just me.. I have no doubt that your an approachable woman so just relax. I think we all experience the same thing at some point and to some degree 😊
lol, I'm nearly 18 and haven't had one girlfriend and you're complaining about 3. Yeah, girls can be intimidating when they're very forthcoming or stuff like that. There's actually quite a lot depending on the guy that could be interpreted as intimidating
If you can guess from her looks and behaviour that she is mean, arrogant, values herself über alles, and despises those who don't handle a knife and a fork or don't have the latest phone model, or anyone except Donald, then you won't approach this kind of girl. On the one hand, intimidating; on the other, disgusting. What do you have from this list?
It’s a masculinity thing I’m assuming. Because biologically speaking men were always bigger and stronger and that’s all that really mattered in Hunter-gatherer times. And that stuck. So a woman can’t be better than a man and when she is, the man gets intimidated.
I'm sorry but I disagree with you a hundred percent. Even if it was a biological thing, it has nothing to do with hunter-gatherer times. That's too far back. And it's mostly a looks thing, check out the top comment. A guy explains everything perfectly.
I would say in today's climate the younger girls have to make the first move. Every guy has approached a girl and got all her signals wrong and really regretted it. Especially if she reacted in a not so nice way... bc she felt anxiety about being approached by a guy she wasn't attracted to.
Confidence can be intimidating but another huge scary thing for guys is bad female laughter. Example girls fear mean physically hurting them right? Guys can fear emotional hurt like getting laughed at or publically embarrassed or torn apart in public. Being a pretty strong confident woman is great but that what if she rejects me and publically humiliates be is in the back of most men's minds. And that can be intimidating for a guy.
Some guys are intimidated because they don't have lot's of experience talking to girls in that way. They have ended up in the friend zone or shut down by girls in the past. Really attractive girls are hit on and flirted with so much that they don't even notice it.
Well how about girls start making the first move now? You don’t know how it is to get rejected or have the fear of rejection. Women are harsh even when you try to be nice. If a guy rejects a female it’s waaaay nicer than if a girls was to reject a guy.
