I will be 100% honest so I can get the best answers possible, I’m in no way a narcissist or anything of the sort, I am pretty confident in myself and my looks which is new to me because I grew up ugly and just in the recent years made lots of changed to become my “best self” anyway, I’m 171 cm tall which in my country is tall for a woman and I dress nicely and take good care of my appearance. I’m in my first year of college and what I noticed is that people, mostly guys, might be intimidated by me? I can’t tell if they just don’t want to be near me or are really intimidated. For example when I go to stand in line at the cafeteria people will part to make way for me and guys, even when they’re there first will step aside to let me go first and even when this happens I can feel peoples eyes on me but I mostly ignore it. It doesn’t bother me but I do notice it. Same goes for when I’m walking down a hallway I can pretty much walk straight without swerving here and there to make way for anyone and when I make eye contact with anyone, if I don’t look away first mostly because I’m distracted, they will tend to look away from me. Like I said, since I grew up feeling ugly, I am not familiar with this and can’t tell if people are intimidated by me or just downright repulsed lol I’ve also noticed on my way to class sometimes when I walk past some guys they will stare at me and if they’re walking somewhere they will literally stop just to look at me. I swear I’m not doing this to fish for compliments or anything I just genuinely don’t know if people do this because they find me so weird they have to stop and look and/or avoid me (because that’s what I grew accustomed to in the past) or if it’s for another reason.
Let me say this. Women please, understand men aren’t intimidated by you as far as your confidence, your education or how much money you make. The only time a man is intimidated by a woman is when she’s so gorgeous he doesn’t feel like he has a chance. That’s the only time. Women who are “confident,” “independent,” etc, usually act like men. That’s not what men want that’s why we avoid those types of women. Women tell theirselves things like this to cope w the real reason why men don’t approach them. A lot of men say the same thing when this question comes up, which it has numerous time. But women still insist we’re insecure when it comes to these types of women. No we’re not. Please stop listening to women who are telling you what your truth is. The men are telling you what their truth is but women still want to believe other women. So basically there’s no point in asking if you’re just accepting answers from women who align w your answer. Then women wonder why men don’t talk, why we don’t express our feelings, our thoughts. Cause they get dismissed. Were told something is wrong w us because our answer isn’t the same as yours.

What country are you in?
I do not believe you are in the US despite your profile saying so.
"College" would be a word in the US, but Americans do not measure height in centimeters, so that tells me you are not American.
I believe that I __may__ have an answer to your question, but I need to know two things:
1. Ideally, what you really look like - at least in the face.
2. Where you are because that tells me what culture you are in. That will greatly affect the answer to your question no matter who is answering.
I know exactly what you feel like... Im 5'11 blonde with a fit body. Everything you described is happening to me daily. And i swear when i wear heels EVERYONE is staring at me. Soo to your question, yes they are ussualy intimidated, many guys told me that... Sometimes they are just interested if they are confident enough but most IS intimidated at least towards me.
Heck yeah their intimidated by you, usually confident woman don't get approached because of the opposite gender believing that they are too good for them or they're just scared, so keep doing you boo. :)

OK liaten you are a narc that's sure I didn't even read all that bullshit the first 3 lines told me everything you are a narc and you are your problem
5' 7"'s not that tall. My ex-fiance was only 5' 3" and I'm 6' 9". You're only 4" taller than her.
I mean your height wouldn’t intimidate me…but maybe you have resting bitch face or something which isn’t necessarily intimidating but it doesn’t make guys want to approach you…
They probably are, and I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing;)
Nope.
