Are guys intimidated by me?
460085
You want my honest opinion regarding this . . . generally . . . weak men . . . yes they are intimidated by you . . . but I am not.  So I will tell you the truth . . . and sometimes it hurts.\n\nDo you want to know why?  Partially it is ego (his) and your attitude.\n\nReason one . . . his ego.  Men have a preconscieved idea . . . that the man should be the primary wage earner.  Some feel less than a man when his woman makes more money than he does.  Psychology Today did an analysis about 18 months ago . . . regarding this . . . (I could be wrong on the time frame).\n\nReason two . . . your attitude . . . you say you are not picky . . . don't lie . . . you are.  If you weren't . . . you wouldn't care if he was single or divorce or widowed . . . and with your request . . . must have a job.\n\nPlus, you have to brag about your intellect.  Masters degree . . . I may not have a masters . . . but I am degreed.  You travel the world . . . most men . . . barely travel . . . unless it is for work . . . like me.  Also you claim to be beautiful . . . believe me . . . I don't believe you.  People I have met that claimed to be beautiful are not . . . me I never claim to be something I am not.  You are intimidating men . . . with your attitude and actions and these men think that you are beyond their league or they may think that you are just a b****.\n\nYou want to know how to get men to ask you out . . . stop bragging about yourself . . . and be your f***ing self.  Go out and have a good time . . . do not look for a relationship.  If you are attractive . . . men will come to you . . . or you may need to go to them.  Buy them a drink for a change . . . be a human and not a Master Degree princess who travels the world.  Plus how old are you . . . I have no idea . . . but it sound like you are looking for a boy toy anyways.

Have you tried asking them out? A confident strong woman sometimes intimidates certain guys but you shouldn't change how you are unless you are disrespectful or verbally abusive. It just takes time and patience. Be open to signs from other people and don't be afraid to make the first move- you may be surprised.

Many of my guy friends find it hard to like me because I'm a super tom boy - but that doesn't mean they're not attracted to you - a few of my guy friends have told me that it's not because i'm not attractive, it's because they're afraid to like a tom boy, that they'd get rejected, that she's not interested in a relationship because she's more interested in her own life, her interests, her friends.\nIt could also be her confidence and aggressiveness that scares a guy away. I personally just think guys who won't approach a tom boy because she's comfortable of being herself are scared, insecure guys who look for girly girls because of the need it gives them to 'protect' her.\nNot all, but most, I'd think. I'm a tomboy...but I've met a guy who's not afraid to love me just because I'm different.

I'm a guy. It's hard because you don't want to mess up something that could be a potential go. Why don't you put yourself in our shoes.... We aren't sure if you like us in return (perhaps you already have a boyfriend), we're nervous because we probably think that you're out of our league and so on...... It would be easier if you let us know how you feel first. then we would be alot more comfortable telling you how we feel.

No one can make you more confident.  You have to do that for yourself.  If you go looking for some guy to boost your self-esteem, you'll attract a guy who will tell you anything you want to hear to get you in bed, & from what you are saying, that isn't something you are ready for at this time in your life.  Right now, you need to focus on you.  Try to work on school, a job, & make the most of yourself.  If you start setting new, realistic goals for yourself & achieving them, your confidence can't help but go up, & guys will notice this.  Good luck.

It sounds like you are a really sweet, sensitive girl -- in other words beautiful.   And yes, beauty is everything.  Alright, so you are pleasant to look at.  I know from experience that is a plus when attracting the opposite sex.  There is nothing wrong with being shy, either.  There is a lot out there to be afraid of, it is good to listen to your instincts they will protect you.\n\nJust do me a favor, be a little picky with the guys you will date (you can afford to be).  Don't go for rich, as they will treat you like another possession.  Don't go for beautiful, as you will always be another conquest.  Don't go for arrogant, in a decade all of your peers who did that will either be single moms or bitter women.  Go for the guys who want to get to know you and for whom the physical is a nice bonus.

they are afraid... to be put down, rejected, thought less of. pity really, i usually go for the intellectual girls my self and don't succeed... they seem to prefer the jocks... oh well.\n\n-----\n\nit doesn't seem desperate on your part. they're just flustered and in shock probably. if you know anything about the guy then you can use that as an opener... this way he knows the subject matter and will have something to fall back on. if he continues to act flustered and walk away then you'll either have to try harder to get his attention (if you are determined to persue this guy) or start thinking about getting a new subject to go after.

First of all dont always brag about yourself, Let guys do that for you. Dont be to avaliable either. Kinda play hard to get. now a days guys like it when girls make the first move. A lot of guys may like you but are to scared to talk to you if your really hot.

Look, maybe it's weird, or just unfortunate, but guys need some kind of excuse to talk to you. If you're just there with your friends, lookin' all hot and stuff, but they have no compelling reason to talk to you, they won't. Blame it partly on shyness, partly on fear of rejection, and partly on respect for the space of others. Just 'cause a girl's hot doesn't mean I'm automatically gonna cruise up and say hello. Are you sure you were making eye contact? Maybe you were looking at their eyes while they were checking out your stuff.\n\nIf you really wanna be approachable, then try saying something yourself. Do it when you're up getting a coffee and Mr. Cute is standing beside you. Make a remark about the coffee, or how busy the place is, or whatever. Just give him a reason to talk to you. Just strutting by is not a good enough reason. Most guys, if you're dressed all hot and looking confident, will assume you've already got a man and leave it at that. Sure, they'll tell their buddies at the same table that you were totally giving them the eye and just what they'd like to do with you, but most guys don't have the stones to do anything about it. The ones that do can be pretty scary. Do you really want to date a guy that has no problem  striking up a convo with any cute chick that saunters by? Hey, if he did it with you, then... \n\nLastly, and obviously I couldn't possibly know this, but is there any chance that your image of "trendy" might come off as a little sleazy? How much skin were you showing? Guys sure like to look at something like that, but in the backs of their heads, they're wondering what Momma would say if they brought 'em home to dinner.\n\nGood luck.

Chances are guys are shy too.\nIf you are shy around guys, approach them with some other girls. That will add some intimidation on the guy side as well. Don't try to get rid of your shyness all at once. Take it a bit at a time and it will come naturally.\nGliding Squirrel.

I am not afraid of them, but I do feel intimidated by them - I don't know why this is.\n\nI have discussed it with my friends and they all share my view.

haha yes, there's another guy out there like me! Yeah, he shows that he's interested. The thing with shy types are that a lot of the time, they won't start the conversation as readily, so you'll have to start it, but once they get more comfortable with you, it will get easier :)

It is true that some guys are intimidated by women that are more successful, or more intelligent than they are, because they are into the whole "macho" thing, and think the man is supposed to be the "breadwinner", and smarter, more successful, and all that. I find intelligent, successful women very attractive myself, but I don't have a problem with my masculinity either. I am a man, in deed, and action, and don't try to prove it to anyone. If I had that kind of woman in my life, I would encourage her to be the best, most successful woman ever. Together , we would make a great team!
