I mean, a fairly decent guy like myself, would find himself moreso intimidated by the beautiful women on here, sooner than I'd expect the reverse.
But, that's my opinion. | |

No, Im afraid of guys who go around THINKING they are attractive....
So...........................???????????????
You prefer guys that go around with low self-esteem and don't think very much of themselves?
Kinda funny actually. I'm sure that you yourself go around THINKING that you are attractive! Project much? | |

| Are women afraid of Attractive guys? Posted: 10/8/2008 12:52:10 PM | | theres a big problem with hot guys there full of themselves so they tend to be stuck up....and thats not a man thats a little boy | |
|
| Are women afraid of Attractive guys? Posted: 10/8/2008 12:59:11 PM | Awwwwww.
I'm a hot guy, in my own rights.
And I'm not stuck up!
I'm also VERY attractive....................to certain women!
To answer my own post...............there's nothing wrong with acknowledging your own attraction level and going with the flow. It's when you view that attraction as meaning that you are better than, or somehow more superior to, others that makes it arrogant and a huge deal breaker! | |

| Are women afraid of Attractive guys? Posted: 10/8/2008 1:28:15 PM | yes they are! (well a good number of women are) if they wern't, she would run up to every cute guy she saw and introduce herself... instead she freezes up and sits there hoping she can send subliminal signals to him (signals men never catch) cuz we dont understand/speak venusian women signals. -we may see or hear her talking however dont understand her message, unless she's pounding her point in with a 2x4 that has a rusty nail sticking out of the end of it.  | |

| Are women afraid of Attractive guys? Posted: 10/8/2008 2:14:37 PM | Luck--that language is sooo tough for me? Can you buy me some cliff notes? I need to learn venusian before my window of opportunity closes.
I know this sounds like a hard question to answer for women, but what to them is a "hot guy"?
For christinafromboca--whhaattt?
Who brought up anything about black and white? Did I miss something?
Every person, male and female, share some level of sexuality, "intimidation" quotient, and esteem within themselves. I find it funny how the more intense a person is, the more they seem to set off their own alarms, rather than someone else's.
We "Americans" don't differ in that sense, amongst each other, and compared to anyone on God's green earth. | |

| Are women afraid of Attractive guys? Posted: 10/8/2008 2:24:58 PM | | Why does it have to be either black or white? I dont like guys with low self esteems however, I dont like**** guys who go around preening..thinking they are "hot". Typical that americans like to think in black and white. Of course, there can't be a BALANCED man who is sure of himself, he has to go around thinking that his looks are a huge deal..looks fade, hun. You better bring more to the table than how "attractive" you are....most attractive guys don't even think they are attractive...its natural, babes. | |

| Are women afraid of Attractive guys? Posted: 10/8/2008 2:45:03 PM | No matter what else you may bring to the table, the table will always have its own settings.
Similar to a salad fork and a dinner fork in a five-star restaurant, we all come with knowledge and inner strength. Similar to a butter knife and a soup spoon, we all come with beliefs and curiousities. And similar to the tablecloth and placemats, we all come with faces and bodies.
Be sure and tip your waiter before you leave. 
Yes, I get it. Quoting Billy Joel...
"Shades of Grey, wherever I go, the more I find out...the less that I know. Black and white is how it should be, but shades of grey are the colors I see!" | |

| Are women afraid of Attractive guys? Posted: 10/8/2008 3:02:27 PM | I mean black or white...one way or the other...not talking about race, silly
Im talking about people not seeing shades of gray and thinking either one way or the other, get it? | |

| Are women afraid of Attractive guys? Posted: 10/8/2008 3:35:15 PM | | Some women would stereotype all attractive men as jerks or players. Just like some men stereotype all attractive women as high manitenance, stuck up b!tches. That's why some people wouldn't go after an attractive person. | |

| Are women afraid of Attractive guys? Posted: 10/11/2008 8:02:26 PM | I have always been attracted to slender men, and/or chubby men? --- I'm so informal when it comes to buffed guys, or super athletic runner types they just do not do anything for my heater meter on a visual since. But I do not want to come across as looks mean everything- And so my answer would be "No" I am not affraid of attractive men, I just don't want to be paired up with one. Been there Done that over 40 don't need it
I do know it's very annoying when I'm out with a regular looking guy, and all the waiters are buzzing around like flies for my attention, or other men looking at me while they are with their own woman. So ticks me off. and it's very very RUDE! So many predators in the world (men and women) | |

| Are women afraid of Attractive guys? Posted: 10/11/2008 8:24:11 PM | It's not the looks as such - it's the social value that looks give a man, which means nothing if the man actually isn't that popular or liked in the social group.
My theory about looks is that they don't make a man attractive to begin with. Other factors make a man attractive and looks are just an extra that drives the attraction up a bit higher.
But women will have sex with the most hideous monster imaginable if he has social power and has demonstrated value. | |

Having sex with a hideous monster will take a lot of WINE.... Well you have your own preferences, not to mention your own experiences.
I've seen a lot of less-attractive guys with very beautiful women on their arms (I say "less-attractive" based on the comments of others, not just my own judgment).
Women generally (maybe you're an exception) just aren't that visually oriented. There seems to be no limit to how bad a guy can look and still take beautiful women home, *provided* he has the necessary social power, which *every* man, hot or ugly, must have at least a bit of. | |

| Are women afraid of Attractive guys? Posted: 10/16/2008 10:07:36 AM | I personally think that when it really comes down to it......some women are intimidated by attractive men or men that physically take care of themselves. Lets face it.....most attractive men are self assured, confident, c*ocky, while some are arrogant, overbearing and mean but just because a guy was lucky in the gene pool lottery doesnt mean that he's a d*ck or he's unfaithful or he doesnt offer anything else other than good looks! C'mon....that same argument can be made with extremely attractive women, ugly women and ugly men. So the notion of disqualifying a man simply because he enjoys taking care of his body or worse because he just happened to have to two great looking parents is absolutely crazy and it says alot about the person thats doing the disqualifying or passing the judgement!
Whenen U really think about it.....it's all about your self confidence and your own level of self esteem. If U feel good about yourself...then an attractive man wont scare U or rattle U.....just the same when it comes to attractive women who claim they cant get men to approach them. U know it's funny... I had a woman on this site (very attractive looking) tell me that she only dates unattractive looking, out of shape men because she feels that "uglier & fatter men" dont stray on their women or cheat.... ....she also said that unattractive men tend to pay her more attention..... Its all about me she says..... On the flip side....she feels the good looking guy that takes good care of himself...he's arrogant, a cheater, insensitive to her needs, its just all about him and all this other ridiculous stuff that I cant even remember...... And thats just a cop-out ...She hit the nail when she described the feeling of empowerment she gets from the unattractive guy that worships her.
I think alot of women (not all women )subconsciously or unknowingly subscribe to this same line of thinking as this woman does. I think its soo much easier to pick your battles with a person U deem inferior to U. In this girls case she feels that because she's very attractive looking (by the way she works out religiously and models part time) she dates only ugly/fat men who are just grateful to have a shot at being with her...meanwhile she knows the hot good looking guy isnt quick to tolerate her attitude...and he'll move on to the next woman things that make U go hmmmm
All I can say is thank God there are attractive women out there like Angelina Jolie, who arent afraid to grab themselves a Brad Pitt!  | |

Posted: 10/16/2008 11:43:17 AM | I think some people are, I have woman question me about why are you still single are available and I think that they feel that just because I am attractive I should be off the market, and the reality is that I like myself and where I am at, and when the time comes I will be...Maybe you are the one! | |
