Search Results: intimidated guy

I dislike that my boyfriend appears to ONLY value men’s opinions. Anything I or any other woman says to him goes in one ear and out the other. But let a guy say the same thing and he's all ears and ready to take the advice.

Anyways, it made me question whose opinions I tend to value? I am very stubborn and not many people can get through to me. I can only think of one girl who has just really gotten through to me but I guess I notice that it’s mostly been guys, thus I value men’s opinions more.

I don't know if my guy simply values the male view more because he’s so insecure and intimidated by other men, which he says all the time. But I value the guys perspective because I want to know how to captivate, communicate with, and better understand the gender that I’m attracted to.

Some may call that a “pick me” but I don’t consider it the same thing. I feel pick me’s seek validation while I more so want advice and guidance. Who better to understand a guy I’m into than a guy himself?

If I wanted advice on how to improve my appearance, dress style or to better control my emotions, then I’d seek a woman’s advice since we better understand one another’s insecurities and reactions. I rarely ask other women for advice on guys though because so many take it as competition to go after that same guy. Its so weird. Girlcode always seems to go out the window.

Another thing could be that I grew up looking up to my grandpa more than anyone else. I also got along best with my male cousin and my uncle. My friends have always been 90% guys. Like, my mom held it down for a bit but her inconsistent behavior and broken promises really got to me. So I stopped looking up to her. Maybe she, my grandma and a bunch of flaky female friends and cousins ruined it for other women too.

Some men have wronged me but never as many men as women. I guess same can be said for my boyfriend since he feels more women have wronged him yet all I ever see these days is men treating him badly. #FeelFreeToList

I find it baffling if they’re a woman & still stay single, as it’s known women have it easier. The most I do being a 29F is go on dating apps on and off, I’ve been single for several years. It seems like being in a relationship with a man is not possible for me, I get the attention you’d expect as a woman on the app but it doesn’t go anywhere for a multitude of reasons. Which is why I have to ask myself if I’m actually attractive or if everyone in my life is lying to me. In person, I have yet to be approached by a guy I’d actually want to date. I’m not the friendliest, if supermodels can find love then I feel it’s an excuse when people tell me I’m “intimidating”

During some conversations he starts fidgeting or rubbing his arms nervously… but only sometimes. And a few months ago he saw me in person and got very nervous and started shaking. Other than that… the only other sign of attraction I’ve noticed is that he mirrors me quite a bit… picking up his coffee cup to take a sip when I do it…. Not sure if he’s naturally an awkward man or whether he’s attracted? But in groups of people he doesn’t seem awkward and looks more relaxed… so maybe I have an effect on him? But he also hasn’t made a move on me. Maybe he feels awkward because someone told him I like him? I dunno. Also another thing to note is that I’m more conventionally attractive than he is, so maybe he’s intimidated? I’m not sure. Also his face looks a bit red around me sometimes but I can’t tell whether he’s flushed for another reason or it’s just lighting etc.

He looked shocked and went red when I told him (just an older male friend). He then looked me up and down with a surprised look on his face, whilst still bright red.
would a stripper intimidate a guy?
