Posted: 2/25/2006 4:31:10 PM | Not really - I tend to think more along the lines - oh gawd its gonna be hard work filtering all the women that are gonna want to try and break us up to try and get at him....and I dont think I can deal with all the other female attention his looks might generate..
but I have gone out some 'what I consider handsome' guys - that is usually what happens I find. But if he is a good man as well he will deal with that. But also handsome/attractive is a lot of different things to a lot of people. I guess you are referring to the advertising standard, but still the above still applies I would still talk to them, then find out if they have a great personality to back up those chiselled cheekbones, and they had better !! or they get the flick same as anyone who is not very nice.... | |

Actually, i'm going to answer this question....yes.....but girls in general aren't as bad as guys in general due to the way most are basically raised. The guy gets rejected because the girl makes the decision, without T.V. though it wouldn't be as bad. Considering all of the shows we watched as kids and still see now as teenagers and adults..like the other day I was talking to this 9/10 girl I know, I asked her a question that she didn't know and this 5.2/10 answered it for me...and considering well for a guy i'm 8.5/10 (on a good day 9/10) there was an obvious fear of rejection and her body language showed there was but she was willing to take the risk...lol most guys I know would be to scared thinking the girl wouldn't like him because he eavesdropped and interrupted on the conversation....but hey, keep your head up.... "If you see an opprotunity for conversation take it, guys won't reject girls....aslong as you have the confidence....if you expect denial/resentment then your most likely going to get it.... | |

Posted: 2/25/2006 6:11:38 PM | i have missed out on alot because of the intimidation of a good looking man, i couldn't take tennis lessons, because the guy was too good looking, i quit my first drum lessons cause the guy looked like paul mccartney, and later cause he looked like lol well am i dating myself or what,, hot like david lee roth, hair and all. Some guy offered my his arm to hold as i walked up the stairs, i just freaked and smiled and bolted up the stairs, while he ran behind me commenting on my smile, i hid in the crowd, yea i know 5'10+ hiding in a crowd..

Posted: 2/25/2006 8:37:52 PM | | Man, DPQ, I thought only guys went through that. Based on your posts, it seems like guys do try to reach out to you. I think you're just too shy. Has it always been that way for you? | |

Posted: 2/26/2006 11:24:06 AM | | iwarrior, I've always been extreemly shy. I guess alot comes from being tall I tend to stand out in a crowd and my hair makes me get noticed as well. Being stared at makes a person feel a bit awkward and that could be a big reason, I tend to cover up my shyness with being a clown at times. I have alot of friends tell me they've felt intimidated by me at first and when they got to know me couldn't for the life of them figure out why? I can't even talk properly around a good looking guy, I get so conscious of what i'm saying that i screw up and come across like a real dope,,lol | |

Posted: 2/26/2006 12:21:50 PM | I'm not sure if it's completely intimidation but I'll avoid them to not waste my time out of realism. I still sometimes try to talk to them.. sometimes I'm surprised.. although quite often the attractive men go hand and hand with the rudest types of rejection (laughing, contempt filled looks, turning their back on you, rude comments, unread deletes... hehe!). I've also learned what type of guy would tend to be more attracted to me and usually invest most energy there or slightly above there.
In short... yes there are judgements made but it doesn't rule me all the time. | |

Posted: 2/26/2006 12:34:35 PM | | In person, as in at the grocery store, or at the park or something I'm not intimidated at all. I can have a great conversation with just about anyone that can say more than "Hi". While this also applies to online, I rarely take the time to write someone that I'd consider goodlooking, mostly because he didn't have enough in his profile to give me something to write him about. While not always, they (the good looking men) a lot of times assume that their looks will get them by (and they probably do with most women) If/When someone that is goodlooking contacts me first, I still have no problems chatting with them. However I'm just as likely to tell someone that is great looking as some that is "ugly" to take a flying leap if they are rude, nasty, or completely stuck on themselves. | |

Posted: 2/26/2006 12:40:53 PM | For me the answer is YES!! I always think that a really hot guy wants a really hot girl and that they are way outta my league...I always assume I am not good enough for them.
However, what is TRULY devastatingly attractive in a man, is when he is not (even too consciously) aware of his own attractiveness. That kind of humility does my head in. Am slayed by it
^^^this does not happen very often but when it does it is a beautiful thing!!!! I hope that is the type of person my son will end up being...cuz he is a real heartbreaker!! | |

Posted: 2/26/2006 12:53:53 PM | | I have never had that problem, as I am one of those girls who are perceived as someone who has a stick up her butt, because I don't necessarily approach men. Also, I look at it as though someone is only as attractive as their personality turns out to be. I see beautiful faces and bodies everyday and have been on dates with them, only to have some of them turn out to be the biggest a**holes in the world. So, until I have a conversation with someone, they are just pretty much eye candy to me and I will not look at them wondering whether they'd be into me or not. | |

Posted: 2/26/2006 1:09:39 PM | No, I'm not intimidated by them - the fact of the matter is that I generally don't pay much attention to super attractive guys because, whether right or wrong, I have preconceived notions about them - based on personal experience and that of friends? Yes, this is likely a huge sweeping generalization (so shoot me) but a large number of gorgeous men are stuck on themselves, not very good conversationalists (they've never had to rely on intelligence to get by, they've coasted on their good looks), spend more time looking in the mirror than a man should, don't have much personality, etc. Give me a clean-cut "guy next door" with a 5 o'clock shadow at 4 o'clock, some common sense, a good heart, knows the difference between a carburetor and a garbarator, who's humble, has nice eyes when he smiles - that beats Mr CQ to me - any day of the week, hands down.  | |

Posted: 2/26/2006 1:51:57 PM | | Attractiveness is so subjective. My best friend and I can be out and she freezes up over a guy and I'm going "why?". And vice versa of course. The guy who intimidates me is more the charcater line in the face, rugged looking guy instead of the pretty boys that I think are classically considered attractive (think Harrison Ford vs Charlie Sheen). When I say intimidate, it doesn't mean I won't talk to him, it would just be a little harder for me to believe he was romantically interested in me. | |

Posted: 2/26/2006 1:57:39 PM | I guess I'm just going to have to make myself a little bit uglier to give women of all shapes and sizes a chance with me. It really sucks when women can't even maintain eye contact with me because they feel themselves getting wet and must go to the bathroom after engaging in casual coverations about the weather  jeez...
On a site note, women and men ALSO both hate me because of "it". It's too damn large. I think I'm going to get an operation so I can make my HUUUUUUUUUUUGE TASTY JUICY PENIS. I don't want you ladies to visualize just how sexy I am; that's just cruel.
I've got no pity for girls who are intidimidated by looks: you should learn to overcome this. | |

Posted: 2/26/2006 4:47:48 PM | | I never get intimidated by anyone,why would I be? Where are the attractive men? standing in a corner alone.Most of them are just as shy as the rest of us and also have inferior complexes.People who are intimidated by them are the ones stereotyping them. | |

Posted: 2/26/2006 4:58:04 PM | Well "IWARRIOR"..I think you have received more than enough answers to your question.
As a woman..my answer would be YES and NO.
Attraction is a personal thing and what one finds attractive/Hot/Cute..or whatever might not be the same for another person right?
I would say..I normally start off with a "smile" ..if I get some sort of positive reaction ..then I will take BABY STEPS...
Some women however, are very agressive and if they like what they see they just go for it.
Either way...no one likes "rejection"...we are all HUMAN my dear | |
