Yeah I was a little intimidated meeting a few famous people and it made me think about this at the time. There's no reason to be, they're normal people.
I've even spent a bunch of time with a some famous people while only realising they were famous after the fact. You wouldn't know any better by talking to them.
However, I probably wouldn't want to date anyone famous. Life as a public figure, or even dealing with it once-removed, is not appealing.

I've met many hundreds of celebrities (most of them musicians, but also actors and athletes). I have a baseball hall-of-famer as a customer, and one of my closest friends (who is in the same business as I am, and we occasionally do projects together) has quite a few pro athletes as clients.

I've never been intimidated by any of them. They're just people. They may have more money, and different problems, but they're just people.

Well I’ve been in this situation a lot actually. So it’s slightly intimidating because I don’t have that level of fame I have a tendency to compare. But in reality people with fame are just people. They relate to the everyday individual more than we may think. I’ve had the chance to see this myself I’ve met actors and musicians mostly and they were some of the coolest down to earth people I ever met.

[Shiningtempest]

On the contrary, I intuitively know that people who are extremely well known & has high profile can't relate well to other people because they're out of touch with reality.

Former 8-division boxing champion Manny 'Pacman' Pacquiao is a personal friend of mine. I must admit that I felt honored but not intimidated to have been introduced to him and get repeatedly invited to events he's also attending.

[Asker]

Are you also from the philippines? I ask because I have a lot of friends from there and I have been to Manila and really liked it

[DeeDeeDeVour]

I was born & raised in the USA. My mom is a Filipina and my dad is a white American. I moved to the Philippines in 2000 and lived there for 19 years before returning to the USA.

I have a question about of curiosity.

Everyone in the world is talking so much about Palawan and El Nido which I understand is part of palawan (And I must say I too want to got there because I only went to Manila).

I am wondering what the locals think of Palawan and El Nido? Is it as big a deal to them as it is for the tourists?

[DeeDeeDeVour]

Residents there take pride in their natural wonders and tourist attractions. They'd gladly welcome tourists. For example, there is an underground cave near Puerto Princessa (Palawan's capital) than is worth a tour and the hosts itch to guide sight-seers so eagerly yet expect guests to respect the environment. The same goes for the ziplining spots nearby. Meanwhile, El Nido resorts will charge a fortune just for staying there because it's not easy to replenish supplies in that remote region of Palawan. It's beautiful there yet strict.

Depends who we define as high profile. I met and hung out with rock stars and military generals. Also depends on their personality.

I treated these guys like normal men I would have a beer with and had a blast.

Now if it was somebody I outright had no desire to meet or throughly detested, I would have no desire to meet them or be in their proximity.

[LikeALog]

I was not intimidated by any celebrities I've met. I've met NFL players, TV show stars, members of Congress and one president. Some were because I was in the right place at the right time, others at functions I was invited to and others were somewhat job related.

[magiusX26]

it partly depends on what they ate famous for, how often papparazzi is involved, how well they are at keeping something of their private life out of the public eye, if they use that famousness as a form of leverage over others, and other such factors.

I did meet a extremely well known celebrity when I was a child... I was in a room about the size of a bathroom (a timeout room) when the door opens and a very Large Man walked up to me and said my name is Curt Henning... For those who have never heard of him he was known as Mr. Perfect Ialwas actually given a signed picture (no idea where it is now though)

[McKellar]

That would depend on how they would treat other people who do acknowledge that person as to who he or she is.

There are people in this world who do have a great deal amount of fame and are modest and a great person to connect with, and there are other people who do have a great deal amount of fame and act all pretentious about it and treat other people like shit and are not worthy to them.

[Anonymous]

I would be scared of what they could do to me if I don't meet their expectations in the relationships. Not murder or anything like that, but they might ruin my life by spreading rumours or making me out to be a horrible person regardless of the truth. And their opinions would be shared by all they fans instantly, it would be a social death.

[FunkyMonkee]

No. I've met so many of them and was nearly one, myself, but, they're just people, no different than any of us except they they are well-known and possibly have shitloads of money.

[ChrisMaster69]

Not at all, met plenty over the years.

some are really nice, some complete Arseholes, just arseholes with lots of money.

[DryGermanGuy]

Since I don’t watch or read the yellow press, I would not even recognize them in the first place! 🙄🥱

[BeMuse]

Nope. I most likely wouldn't even notice who they are... If someone pointed it out, then I'd think they were retarded because I don't care.

[Shiningtempest]

If I met someone who was extremely well known & high profile, I would be intimidated because of judgment from other people. Thus, I would turn down opportunities to meet people who are extremely well known & high profile.

[Kiran_Yagami]

Depends on the setting. If there were cameras and paparazzi around, probably. That's attention I don't want. If it was in a more private setting then no.

[ElvenMr]

Not because of their fame, but of what comes with that fame. I don't want to be famous like that. If i'm with someone famous, i become famous and i'll get stalked on too by paparazzi in no time.

[Babygirl_S]

I would be and I wouldn't want people to know that I know them or be seen with them for the fear of being judged just like they're judged constantly.

[AndrésC64]

I don't think intimidated would be the right word. I might be a little bit concerned about how secure the relationship would be no.

[Better_off_here]

i would at first but not after i understand they are human beings regardless of what they do and who they are.
they are a person with normal lives after the camera has turned off.

[msc545]

I have met and spent time with people like this. Aside from sometimes being arrogant, they are no different from everyone else.

[iconic__lay]

No I wouldn’t, then again I’m rarely intimidated. I have a couple “famous” friends and there’s really no difference.

[888theGreat]

I have talked to them. On here no. I don;t know if we met in person

[SmokinAces2000]

No, I live on LA so I’ve met too many celebrities to count

[exitseven]

I would just picture them in their underwear.

[AdithyaR]

I don't see why I need to be intimidated.

[Gal67]

They'd be intimidated by me.

[chilldude33]

people who say "not intimidated" are fronting

[jasco]

Honestly I be flattered if they notice me

[JaneDoe455320]

I would intimidate them

[Joker_]

I might be intimidated for other reasons

[devoygf]

I wouldn't give a fuck

[SandandWaves]

not intimidated

[Sabretooth]

I don't give a damn.
