Some guys just can't handle it. Others absolutely love the ideas of girls like you. For me - I wouldn't be intimidated. It's mostly because the guy's probably think you might reject them and it would seem as if you do it a lot so basically to put it short, you're too good for them. Literally.
true
It's not intimidation if a guy is a bit shy or reserved when he is with some one he likes or really wants to be with.
I get shit scared sometimes when I am in front of someone whom I would like to be interested in me. We get conscious about everything from looks to how creepy would I come off as if I say this or do that.
It is the fear of rejection rather than intimidation.
I can’t speak for other guys. I can only speak for myself. If I come up on a girl who is harder working then me, more successful then I am, more ambitious, more passionate, more aggressive and knows what she wants, then yes, that can be intimidating. Probably is, I’ve only encountered that once in my life, and I should have snatched her up when I had the chance.. but most women aren’t like that. So I’m not intimidated by them, I’m picky... cause non of them can reach my expectations
When I was you get there was a certain type of woman that would intimidate me but it wasn't always a bad thing for me, it just meant that it would be a bit of a challenge for me and I do like challenges... However, I don't think that this is necessarily the case for you, it could be a number of things, where you live for instance cause in many places, young people don't approach people and are very conservative or shy so it could be that or something like that...
Alright well I've never dated anyone so if any guys here wanna let me know what the hell is so apparently intimidating about me that'd be great.
This bitch is going to end up living with 15 billion cats in the near future.

HI Maiiraed. If you read some of the comments from males above, you'll see definitions like nervousness, guys being pusillanimous and whatnot. The way I see the opposite gender intimidating is if you say something, just one thing, they'll want to slap you.
@DaModernDaVinci Hahaha good to know. Don't want to get slapped.
I think it can just be hard to meet people honestly no one wants to face rejection, everyone's busy and most people are taken or have little in common.
I can't speak for all guys.
But in general Guys are just human beings as such have do have a certain level of fears both real and imaginary so a shy guy may be intimidated by a confident and or very attractive woman or simply have a fear of being rejected
I am aversive to conversation in general. Girls are particularly intimidating though. It's the awkwardness of a conversation that's intimidating--somehow an awkward conversation with a girl is way worse than with a guy. Keep in mind, I'm an introvert, so yeah, I'm not too much of a people person to begin with.
I don't know about intimidated as far as fear, but a lot of guys are insecure, about approaching attractive girls, or like me I'm not rich do if I dated a rich woman I, d be a little intimidated by her I don't know refinement can, t remember the right word for this, but a little encouragement from a girl always puts me at ease about making a move, be open, smile, greet them sounds lame but even a hello so so is nice, l.
Intimidated by money , be it girls or guys.
I have met many very rich people professionally, with good success.
Privately I' ll avoid them.
When I see they spend my income on a boat, hunting and golf and a car, I know we have *absolutely nothing* in common.
Yes, women can be the scariest thing in the world to a boy at a certain age. Much of it to do with insecurities and peer pressure as well as school yard politics. Today I have a healthy respect of women because I know them. They can attack a man in ways that they wouldn't think of or expect and many men never grow our of their fears. ( Computer geeks, D&D players, chess champions, and physics students). Lol kidding well about the geeks and such
Maybe, sometimes I don't know if that happens to me
I mean, I don't go ask girls out based on something like this, I am stupid brave which means if I see a girl I like I will go talk to her without thinking about it.
So even if she was intimidating , I like a challenge , most likely I attract girls that are "intimidating" anyway.
When I was younger, I never choose the prettiest girl, always figured she was out of my league. Then one day I said WTF, and asked a beautiful girl out for the hell of it.. fully expecting to gt shot down, she said yes.. Ever since, if she is attractive and I'm available, i will ask, Do I get "No Thank you"? Yeah, but I get "OK" too... As I got older, it got easier, Just have to be good at conversation and selling yourself well.
Well fear of rejection is more of a correct term , which a lot of young guys seem to have.
It's just that young guys are very different from well matured guys.
Amen
I think this concept is mostly from females who would like to believe that guys can't handle them. I'm sure you've got your dudes here and there who are intimidated but I highly doubt it's a most-guys thing.
Yes, I’ve heard girls can be intimidating in that if you seem very confident, are pretty and smart and interesting, he might think you’re taken already, or he’s not good enough and be too scared to approach you.
I’ve always been told the same thing. The last guy I tried to date came from a much different background than me and behaved very oddly and everyone said it was because he was insecure and intimidated. 🤷🏼♀️
Lol,,, And what was your own perception of him?
I mean I didn’t treat him any differently than I would anyone else. I recognized that we were from very different backgrounds but that doesn’t affect how I perceive others
Cool ,,,, I guess that wasn't the reason it didn't work out ,,, I mean "you trying to date him"
I don't like the word "intimidated", but we have all the same thoughts, feelings and insecurities you women do about approaching. Nobody likes rejection, yet we're supposed to be the ones to do it? It's a pet peeve of mine because we're all human and we are NO different from you that way.
My advice to you is approach and at least try and strike up a conversation with guys that you're interested in.
3 boyfriends and you’re 19? LOL that’s a good amount. I guess everyone around you is desperate or something 😂
Depends what you mean by intimidated. Is it physically inimidated, monetarilly intimidated, emotionally intimdated? I personally believe any time ANYONE is intimidated is because they lack the confidence in themselves to be content with what they have
Yes sometimes it's the way a girl dresses that says I'm out of your league. And some guys are naturally intimidated by a girl. He See's her wants to approach her but is very much afraid and intimidated. Shaking , blushing , voice cracks , loss of voice , stuttering etc. So you may be very nice , beautiful and approachable but to him talking is a impossible obstacle.
