If a girl is beautiful, smart, down to earth, personable, but shy to guys, would you be intimidated?

Shes gorgeous, girls complement her all day in class, people are drawn to her, she's pretty new to the school, and she's a genius but she doesn't like to show it. she gets approached by no one, Is it that she's intimidating? do popular guys get intimidated by girls like this? what do guys think when they see some one like this? (keep in mind this is 12th grade high school haha)

Nook I'm attracted to shy, quiet girls. High strung, outgoing girls aren't my thing so much. shy girls are really cute and getting to know them and havin them open up as you two get closer is like an adventure. I've also found that once a shy girl does open up, they're very good at having deep, intelligent conversations which is a huge plus for me. All this said, I'm not most guys, and most guys do get intimidated by quiet, beautiful girls because it's too much of a challenge and risk for them. They don't know what to expect from you or how to approach you so they don't. 12th grade guys are far from men and I'm afraid avegae college guys don't fair any better haha. Listen, don't worry about this stuff. Love and embrace who you are, including your shyness. It might take some time and patience before you find a really great guy who takes the leap to get to know you and get close to you but the wait is worth it. In the mean time, don't question yourself! Be friendly, get to know people, and do the things in life you enjoy doing. When the time is right, the right guy will step up for you :)

That's great advice! Accepting shyness is probably the hardest esp when you know it keeps guys from approaching.

You're right about college but they're slightly better than hs guys... Being smart, shy and pretty kinda sucks. Cute, smart, shy guys know the struggle too

If I like a girl, and she is exceptionally beautiful and all her friends keep giving her compliments, I could get intimidated in a sense that I would think that someone like her would never go for someone like me. Especially if the girlfriends always complement her and each other, I start to thing they (and she) have got a big ego, which is a turnoff to me.

If she's smart, I don't mind because that's a good thing. But if she always acts like she's the smartest, the most beautiful, then this is again a turnoff.

In college they just stare but won't approach unless maybe outside of class or they do stuff to get your attention hoping you'll talk to them

Well, my reaction with girls like this is that they are so good that I'll never have a chance with her, she has a boyfriend and there is too much competition. If she gets approached by no one, that means all otehr guys that like her are probably thinking the exact same thing as the first sentence. with girls like these that I did have the guts to approach, I usually get blown off. So it is somewhat justified). I'm in high school and I don't even go for girls that are "out of my league" and it still happens so...

Yes there is some intimadation going on there, if what you are saying is all true. She may be shy but her best bet is trying to find a way to start conversation with who she may be interested in or just wait for someone to ask her out, but I think she would be better off just trying to talk to whoever she may be interested in.

I think most guys would assume that by her being so hot and attractive that she is already taken. I think that is the misconception that guys judge when looking at pretty girl. I think guys are intimadated by cute and pretty girls. They are afraid that she is picky and that she may reject them if they try to talk to her or ask her out.

that like defines my girl lol

yes it is intimidating, even after I've known her for awhile, like I need to keep her happy and stuff, idk

I think I'd be less intimidated by that. It would be if they were super outgoing that I'd get intimidated, but then again I'm quite shy too. I like intelligent people as I enjoy the challenge of sustaining intellectual conversation lol.

i'm intimidated only if she's ugly. I'm worried that will cause erectile dysfunction.
