What are the signs of a guy being intimidated by a woman?

[Anonymous]

I mean like her beauty or how she carries herself. Why do men get intimidated by this and what are the signs?

There is really only one sign. He's shyer around you than he is around other women. He is shy in a non-flirty way. it's different from how a guy can act shy around a woman he's into. He just will seem uncomfortable around you. He will probably avoid being around you when he can do so inconspicuously.

What makes you think men (or maybe one man in particular) find you intimidating?

Thank you, ah that makes a lot of sense. Yes I have been told before by an ex boyfriend that he was intimated by my beauty and aura. And this the current guy it seems similar like he really likes me but he nervous and acts reserved, but he’s not like that at all with other girls.

But that just sounds like a guy who likes you. I think you might be putting too much stock in what your ex said. Guys are not generally intimidated by how attractive a girl is or how they carry themselves. Guys will be intimidated by a girl who is better at something that they feel they, as a guy should be better at. It does not look like a guy who likes you. It looks like a guy who definitely doesn't like you. It would be something like... a stock trader finance-bro who is intimidated by his extraordinarily successful and confident female collegue. She's out-performed him for the last 3 quarters. He is not a fan.

This isn't intimidating. This is just a guy who likes you. I think your ex used the wrong word to describe what he was trying to say. It sounds like he was saying "i found you so attractive before getting to know you, that I was nervous".

This is not what people usually mean when they talk about a guy being intimidated by a girl. This is just a guy who is really attracted to (or interested in) a girl.

Why does this myth still exist? WE AREN'T INTIMIDATED. We are either ignoring you, have no interest, or both.

Shyness, timid behaviour, clumsiness, lack of self-confidence, awkwardness.

Thanks for this, but what’s he worried about?

[Opinion Owner]

He is probably afraid of rejection, and possible humiliation.

Ok thanks

They don’t approach her , feel insecure. And in a way start hating the fact she’s out of their reach

Defensiveness is the only constant behaviour, others really depend on the type of person he is

They sneak a lot of glances.
