Do guys actually get intimidated by girls? (Page 3)

Question

almost my entire life, i feel like i haven't gotten an excessive amount of attention from guys. i've had a three boyfriends (i'm 19 now), but other than that, that's pretty much the extent of it. i've always been told that it's because guys are "intimidated of me"- but is that really true? i feel like i'm a pretty nice and approachable girl! do guys actually get intimidated by girls?

Ellie-V · Answer

They have nothing to be scared of. But people in general who get intimidated by others have some insecurities they’re just projecting onto you as if you’re the problem.

FakeName123 · Answer

While some guys are in fact intimidated - that has more to do with their lack of self-esteem.

The statement guys are intimidated by girls is just some stupid feel-good- shoulder-patting-by-your-female-friend.

Mikey_Ramone · Answer

Usually I don't get that intimidation, but only if she starts to do something creepy enough. You know it makes me wonder the way she does that and what's in store from her - hell, but I like it anyway.

It's not that men are afraid of you... they're probably afraid of rejection. Been through it and it super hurts.

Another thing is most man have domination issue so they aim for someone lower calliber than them. Nothing turns on a man more than being a man for his woman

PastelGoth · Answer

Every guy is intimidated by looks and/or a strong minded woman lmaooo

Anonymous · Answer

Yes, guys can get intimidated by girls very easily. Even if you are nice and approachable, guys won't know that unless they talk to you, which most of them won't if they are intimidated (especially if you are very pretty or attractive in some other way).

Jeff1217 · Answer

Yeah I do sometimes! There are really hot girls I know that I get intimidated by them. More like self esteem not them I guess.

Hiram · Answer

once you get a little older and men that are going to be attracted to you get a little bit older wiser braver then they will come on to you more often. Just don't get fat.

genericname85 · Answer

Why are girls always so eager to use the word fear? Lack of attraction or being repelled is the most common theme. Not fear.

ameerfarhaan · Answer

I think its the same with guys or girls. If a person thinks that he is better that the other person but repeated interactions prove otherwise then insecurity creeps in and they flip.

wondering_guy · Answer

Of course we do, you girls have high expectations, change your minds every few seconds and never know if your going to get offended over the slightest joke, never know if we are entertaining enough or dull as a post

Prakbio · Answer

I think I mostly get nervous I am introvert kind of person.. But if a girl herself approaches me I am they found me very talkative.. I am good looking many girls approach me but I am not into just sex kinda things so I generally ignore them..

scotty01 · Answer

All the time. But girls all need to stop playing games with guys to get attention too. If your interested in a guy then do it not otherwise. And it’s not fair or nice to do it to a guy that your not even interested in the first place.

SoCk3t_PoCk3tZ · Answer

I think so, if they think the girl is out of their league.

Junior42 · Answer

Hell yea we do it's more of the fact that we're scared of rejection we don't know what to say to you what you might say to us it's just like when you see a really hot guy don't you get nervous?

gunducci · Answer

Sometimes they do. Sometimes they are just nervous because they are crushing hard. Intimidation I think is not gender dependent, an intimidating person will intimidate anyone.

cainaspire · Answer

Yes especially when they are attracted to the girl. Y'all dont seem to realize how much of a hold y'all have on men lol

PikawattGamer · Answer

Ya, literally my whole freshman year was intimidating by all the girls because you know all of them were cute.

markscott · Answer

I have been intimidated by girls, particularly in my teens. It hasn't happened in a long time, as I'm more sure of myself now.

xxrockmexx · Answer

I feel like men are intimidated by me because I know what I want and I hold them to some standards. I don't think they are used to that

litty · Answer

Yeah, especially with early porn exposure nowadays some boys focus more on fantasies than figuring out what to say to girls, making them a bit more repressive.

5yrup · Answer

i almost sympathised until the "i've had 3 boyfriends" part. dunno what the fuck you're complaining about because i haven't had any

ForteExe · Answer

I think 3 boyfriends at 19 is fairly excessive. I've only had one relationship that lasted more than a few dates since I was 17. And yes, it's very common for guys to be intimidated.

Wolframium · Answer

Your perspective is very different from perspective of the guy having crush on you right now. 19 and 3 relationship. Yeah, back then, I had 1. YOu posting this anonymously doesn't help anyway.

Logorithim · Answer

I don't think this is happening in your case on a large scale, but sure, some guys are. Most aren't, though.

subrugbylad · Answer

I think the shy, retiring guys will be put off by approaching, especially if they see you as pretty and out of their league, although this is the twenty first century, there's nothing wrong with you taking the lead. x

AnuragArya · Answer

Yes, guys can get intimidated by girls. But that depends on the girl's action.
Being confident is good. But too much of anything is bad.
Personally, I prefer cool minded and down to earth kind of girl.

dontaskdontget38 · Answer

It's because the ratio between men and women are almost 50/50. so men that won't give u attention just happen to have a girlfriend. If they didn't they would give u attention. If u where not so good looking or if u where.

alexwest99 · Answer

Guys treat girls differently. Normally based on looks. We're more attentive, caring, helpful, funny etc around girls we're attracted to. Girls we aren't attracted to we won't make an effort on. Simple as that.

Kenni · Answer

They definitely get intimidated by me😔 I don't know why

Girl I'm 21 y o and never had a boyfriend 😂😂😂😂// what I'll tell u is be proud of who you re and focus on other things (life is not about having bf) plus you maybe re looking in the wrong place or trying to much... Be yourself 😊

Jo1991 · Answer

Absolutely. I'm a pretty confident guy but when a girl is beautiful, I'd be more hesitant to approach her in fear of her being out of my league

serious · Answer

Yes, many guys actually get intimidated the certain types of women.

1truekhaleesi · Answer

I've had the displeasure of meeting a few guys that were intimidated by me.

JohnBoinka · Answer

Intimidated? I have Allergies having Conversation with any GIRLS for more than 10 Minutes... beyond that I'll have Nausea and HEART ATTACK and DIE on the Spot due to SUFFOCATION...

Aynsof · Answer

Sometimes some guys will find some girls intimidating for whatever reason  Too pretty too smart too whatever  Is it a general thing? No not really but yes it happens

BatmanofGotham · Answer

I wouldn't say intimidated, but cautions. Because most girls aren't overly welcoming to male attention, and showing interest can suddenly be labeled as creepy.

Dionigi · Answer

19 years old already 3 boyfriends... If you started at 16 all your relationship lasted 1 year top. How many boyfriends do you want to have in your life?

rafaelmendes · Answer

yes, girls always wait for a guy approach, as I guy sometimes could be nice being approached, I think that is one of the reasons that Canadian girls are very easy to talk to.

Nikodemus · Answer

In my case, the more attractive they are, the more intimidated I am. This is based on my experiences at work. Much easier to work alongside and return greetings from women who are not particularly attractive. I feel more comfortable with them.

Budvizer · Answer

You've already had 3 boyfriends at the age of 13 and you think you are not getting attention from men? I hate to break it to you but you are young and already a few relationships deep, I don't think you are intimidating men from approaching you.

Therisinghero12 · Answer

Its not so much the girl as it is the idea of approaching the girl and it possibly going wrong that's intimidating. Just gotta accept the fact that a girl probably isn't going to approach y first but if you go talk to her it will pretty alright.

gingabree · Answer

Never knew guys got intimidated- I thought I was the only one haha

andyjrm · Answer

Yes. Guys are definitely for the most part intimidated by girls unless they are just friends or dont see them in a romantic way. If a guy has any interest in a girl thought, he will probably be intimidated by her.

BIIIIGGGGYYYY · Answer

You see i agree woth rafael, girls like getting approached. And us guys would like to be approached too, but at the same time most likely these guys are too shy like me. I haven't had a girlfirend and im 17 turning 18😂

AlexanderBrunnrgaard · Answer

Haha, no, I never get intimidated. I can get attracted by a girl's confidence and strength, but never intimidated.

BeesNectar · Answer

I believe so, whether it be career success, monetary, beauty, personality, popularity amongst suiters. However, that cuts both ways.

RyBeyPieGuy · Answer

I do to an extent, but only when I think that a girl is WAY out of my league

fonduegirl · Answer

not all guys are aggressive and hot, some are cute and shy... secondly, change your dressing style a little, maybe that'll help?

I’m 32 I’ve been intimidated by girls my whole life. Yes I have dated and I am attractive. No I do not get girls because I fear them. It’s true. It sucks but it’s true.

xkildy · Answer

Chinesemale has the same answer I was about to give. almost to the T.

Anonymous · Answer

If you are breathtakingly gorgeous! 😍😍😍 Then yes! The good guys will feel like they don't have a chance so they won't approach you out of fear of being shot down and the assholes that generally don't give a fuck about you will approach because they want what they want and they aren't afraid 2 rub you the wrong way to get it...

Anon-ymous1 · Answer

Yes, if they're very hot/pretty.  Otherwise, no. "is that really true?" No, it isn't, unless, as I said, she's really hot/pretty.

danji101 · Answer

yes we can be a shy bunch especially around women who we think are out of our league

blondfrog · Answer

Yes I do. WE have to factor in getting the cops called on us, press charges for sexual harassment, and after all that rejection.

triximan · Answer

Some guys can be. I know for a fact I could never go up to a random girl I thinks attractive and start a conversation.

InTimoreDei · Answer

Girls aren't intimidating. I do not know, for the life of me, why this excuse keeps going around. Are these "intimidated" guys spineless or something?

lorenzomichael · Answer

I'm sure some guys do. But not me I can give a fuck and when I give a chick that vibe it's more often than not she feels more attracted to me. Weird huh?
