sweetkristine:
Imagine that guy you saw at the store was physically blind and could not see you were looking at him? Would you be able to talk to him then?

Now imagine that was the reality but he wasn't wearing those dark glasses blind ppl often wear cause he forget them at home and his eyes happened to be looking in your direction yet you still KNEW he was blind. Would you be able to talk to him then?

Imagine he looked into your eyes and HE saw the beauty that you knew you had within you, would you be able to talk to him then?

Now imagine every attractive guy notices your beauty right away and looks into your eyes directly to see that beauty more and more grow stronger and they keep looking cause you are that beautiful to them, would you be able to talk to them then?

Some things to think about....

I am only intimidated by people that jump out at me from places, people wearing hockey masks, and people with disfigured faces.I actually find myself getting chatted up quite a bit wherever I am and I do find it uncomfortable sometimes..I do not like attracting attention in RL (real life), though it is fine on here.

If I feel someone is out of my league (and going by the massive list of qualities being looked for in many of the profiles on here it happens a lot), I'm still not "intimidated" by them. I just treat them as I would anyone else I wasn't interested in. Laugh, smile, talk to them but I wouldn't flirt. In my line of work being intimidated is pretty much a non-factor. lol

see....i thought i had some qualities listed that are required to contact me...like a brain...some common sense...and perhaps a soul. but..apparently...my phrasing was lost on most. thinkin' about putting a giant tag at the bottom of my profile: evolution must apply
really, folks....use the ol' noggin. spell out your words...and if you're gonna use one line...make it a good one.
OT: being intimidated by someone doesn't mean you think they're better than you are (i often use the defense mechanism of 'yeah...she's prettier...but can she spell?'). but knowing that everyone is on the same level doesn't help the stuttering that seems to happen...

meh, you didn't get my post:
Imagine every attractive guy NOTICES your beauty...(right away)

Your mind is telling you all that junk not society. You can't change society but you CAN change yourself. Especially how you think.

Your homework is to read that phrase or say it to yourself 50 times. Then go do it.

It all goes back to junior high and being picked on.
I don't know if I would say I'm intimidated, it is more like wow, you are gorgeous, how can I compete.
I try to stay away from pretty boys though as most of the ones I've talked to only seem to be out for some ass.

Yes indeed I am. I will always ignore a pretty woman on the bus if she sits next to me. I am painfully shy thats the biggest reason.

I find that with most "pretty" people I don't have problems with, I can be all smooth. However as soon as I realise I actually have a chance, then I screw it up by trying to think.

Here's something to think about:

Every time there's a study on what people find attractive where the test subjects are shown pictures of people they consistently rate the pictures of people with smiles higher than those with pictures of people who didn't smile. In other words, a smile goes a ways in making you more attractive whether you're male or female.

A smile makes you appear more open to be approached. On that note, just think about it and ask yourself whether you are really intimidated by people that are pretty or people that are pretty who don't invite attention in some way.

Oh, and Sweetchristine, while I have no good reason to feel that you'd feel intimidated by me, if I see you on the word games, I'll boost your ego. Cheers.

^^^ agree...a smile does make you more approachable..........

another thing is.......being friendly

No problem with the ladies........but some guys felt intimidated & suspicious..
maybe they thought I was Gay....


I thought so too.....until I was 10 or so , then I found out ..it didnt mean happy anymore

Yes, I feel like total crap. So I go home and start slitting my wrists. Just to ease the pain, you know?

I am not intimidated because "pretty people" don't even notice the rest of us exist.
