Not afraid of them, no. Why prejudge based on outward physical features... hell I get that every day. Women snickering because my "girls" are out or men who don't like "fatties". I have long since stopped caring about people who hate for no reason other than looks. So in turn, I won't do the same.

People are people regardless of their looks.

maybe unattractive ones are , I disagree with this what would make you intimidateed by someone you find attractive? Attractive or not, they are just people, you just have to get your confidence about yourself

No. I don't think people should assume that a man is arrogant or a jerk because he is good looking. Besides looks are subjective. Different people are attracted to certain things.

I went out with a guy who was very nice looking. Was ok for a while but it started getting a bit much when every time I turned around there was a woman chatting to him. I started not going out much at all with him, easier for me to go pick him up after he was done. Turned out to be a bit of hard work. He cheated anyway. More then once I believe.
I know not all attractive men arent like that, but once bitten...........
well you know the rest

Persay "not afraid" but intimidated...

Why?


Well geezzz the first thought is : WILL he find me attractive?

I don't see many attractive guys, but when I do... more of a reason to cease up...

Perhaps a self esteem issue... but I hardly believe that... I think its more of a : finally I feel attracted to someone... knots in the stomach... will this be it?

Anticipation -->>> expectation...

Not afraid of attractive men but just like you are very attracted to them, Many other women are attracted to them. Men like attention and the temptation i would think would be greater for a very attractive man. So for me I ask myself " Why would you put yourself through the agony"....I'll past with mr average, unless I know a particular man has morals and values about family and relationships similar to mine!!

Good looks don't intimidate, a man who spend more time in the bathroom than I do -- now that's intimidating!! Attractive men (and women) may seem to be less approachable than the average Joe (or Jane), but its the attitude they carry with their looks that ultimately makes them attractive or not. Beauty is only skin deep, and I truly believe that.

I recently had a chat with one of my friend's girlfriends, and I asked her how they first met. She told me that she would always see him at the club (where they eventually met) but was always afraid to say anything to him. I asked her why, and she replied with: "because he's so hot!"

I find it kind of fascinating because, being shy, I can be pretty easily intimidated by a gorgeous girl, but I wasn't aware that women go through the same thing

Women are afraid of attractive guys if they are single because dude will probably cheat and leave. But if they have a husband or a boyfriend, they aren't afraid because they are getting constant attention from some poor sucker.

All these years I thought that look of fear was because I looked like an axe murderer or something. The scars are deep and my looks are failing; but, I finally understand.


Yippee!

Depends on the guy. If the guy is an arrogant ahole only interested in his looks, then he won't even get a second look from me. My ex was a damn good looking man and hard to lose in the end - he was painfully shy when we met. If I come across a really hot guy, I tend to shy away, until I get to know them or have to deal with them on a personal level. If we click, then that shyness goes away. If he's an arrogant dweeb, then he won't even get a second look....sometimes all they have to do is open their mouths and the hottness is gone just like that.

No, I'm not intimidated by them. I have a couple of guy friends who are quite good looking. One is an actor and he's very detached from his looks and very disciplined. For instance, he'll diet like crazy so that his abs show for a photo shoot. If he asks me how they look he's so obviously over himself and just looking for objective feedback. His body may as well be a car or a sofa. His identity, self esteem or whatever is very separate from his looks and even though he models a lot for print ads, he is very consumed with studying acting (not usual for that profession).

My other good friend who's a very attractive guy is the opposite way. He was a college jock and he's a lawyer now. Sometimes I catch him checking himself out in a window or a mirror or even just flexing his arm. I love this, because I tease him all day if I catch him and he tries to act embarrassed, but he isn't really. He's a nice guy, but definately attracted to himself a lot :)

If you really know someone, I think you forget their looks after a while and notice their personality quirks a lot more.

My boyfriend doesn't particularly care for my attractive male friends though (Especially the actor, because he's also an infuriatingly great guy).

I had a particularly attractive boyfriend. Women would come up to him and flirt shamelessly as though I were not even standing there holding his hand. Giving him goo goo eyes and smiling and stroking their hair. It was hilarious! I figured I had to learn to live with it or leave. He was particularly embarassed the first time my Best Friend (a woman) met him. She practically simpered! an amazing thing to watch. After she left he said, "What was That!?"

It was hard to put up with though, I was embarassed for the women.

No, I'd rather not have to put up with all that again.

Terrifies them. I have people come up to me all the time, "Sir, you're going to have to leave; your scaring all of our female customers." It's a curse.

Or are you just wondering if it goes both ways since guys are all terrified of attractive women?

If so, how come Brad Pitt isn't in Horror Films???? hahaha...I just think hot women like hot guys and fat ugly women are afraid of them. Average women are just suspicious if a guy that's too good looking acts interested in her...like he must be a player or something. It really bothers me that some people on here have implied that good looking men (or women for that matter) are all vain and/or shallow. Fat and ugly certainly doesn't equal intelligent and humble in my experience.

Hmmm, the way I look at is why would a really hot guy be atracted to me when I'm just an ordinary plain Jane?? That would scare the hell out of me!! I think these guys should stick to their own kind and they can all cheat on each other. The regular guy is more fun to hang around with and probably won't be conceited either.

There are alot of men who like healthier sized women such as yourself. Men whom would be considered handsome. I know because I am one of them. My opinion on the main question is that both women and men can be intimidated by someone who they thinks looks alot better than them. I am a handsome and confident man but when I see a drop dead gorgeous woman it initially scares the crap out of me. I still approach and talk to her but it's scary at first. I never knew women had the same fear of handsome men that we have of gorgeous women. Wow!

Attractive is a matter of personal preference of course.

Recently my friend’s wife shared that she didn’t find me attractive at all to which I smiled and said “well that’s a good thing.”

She went on and told me something that completely blind-sided me. She said the reason was because women put men into one of two categories:
The Nice Guys
The Bad Boys

Since she knew me for so many years she had placed me in the “Nice Guy Category” thus I was not an attractive man to her.

She went on to tell me that her sister and her neighbor, both of which I had dated in the past, thought I was very attractive but not relationship material because they viewed me as a “Bad Boy”.

Now I always imagined a “Bad Boy” rode a Harley, had tattoos, and all so I was shocked. How could anyone view me as a “bad boy”?

My friend’s wife told me that my assumption was not correct. She said a “Bad Boy” could be the “sports jock” or the “successful professional playboy.”

So according to my friend’s wife, women view attractive men as “bad boys” and unless they just want a little short-term fun, are afraid to get into a relationship with one.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Absolutely not.
Hot, average, ugly.. they're just guys. I've dated all types.

Hot guys are more secure and don't make a scene if you happen to have most male friends. And they actually look for personality more than average Shmoe.

LOL...I've noted that the few really ATTRACTIVE guys I've lured into my love shack had really SMALL penises. I guess I'll stick to the average Joe's-they have always tended to make really good lovers and always had average to exceptional man tools.
