| Are Women Intimidated By Attractive Men? Posted: 3/5/2006 12:16:19 PM | | iwarrior, I think the trick is knowing that none of us is perfect 100% of the time and if you want to take the risk of missing an opportunity to connect with someone just because of the way you or they look at that point in time, then ultimately you will be the one that loses out in the end. You could be Jack the Ripper and some people might decide not to talk to you but that's their choice, you only have control over your actions. Did you ask that girl on the bus if she'd like to get together again or just leave it to fate to arrange for your paths to cross some other time? Serendipity needs a little help sometimes. None of us likes to get blown off and it can wear you down (especially when it's coming from a stranger on a website!) but as a friend of mine says, "each one brings you closer to the right one" - you have to keep your heart open to the future. Good luck! | |

I didn't ask her out. Maybe I should have. I wasn't really all that interested in her. She legit looked like someone familiar. Maybe if we talked more, I would have asked. | |

| Are Women Intimidated By Attractive Men? Posted: 3/5/2006 3:22:03 PM | | of course they can be......but their is a very wonderful thing called " personality and i have spent time with some very handsom men, friends and co-workers and if they are out going and not arrogant then it is no problem, nobody like "ego on feet" in a male or female i would think, nut there are men on here i wouldn't even think about mailing because of my own insecurities....but that is me....have a good one ! | |

| Are Women Intimidated By Attractive Men? Posted: 3/5/2006 3:29:29 PM | Yes ,It goes both ways..however some cute men are too into themselves to be into anyone else..goes for the lady's also..you just have to take a chance..rejection online is much easier than in person..thus always keep a (real )pic on..A always be who you really are at all times. | |

| Are Women Intimidated By Attractive Men? Posted: 3/5/2006 3:37:15 PM | But it is all relative isn't it?
What is drop dead gorgeous for you might not even rate the time of day for someone else, and vice versa.
I think the important thing is really just to have a go. Get used to a bit of rejection now and again. | |

| Are Women Intimidated By Attractive Men? Posted: 3/5/2006 3:42:55 PM | | I know good looking men who act and believe they are not good looking and I know unattractive men who think they are really good looking. Attractiveness is relevent each person finds somthing else attractive. I have never noticed an attitude from really good looking men but i can tell you this a man who is to into himself or his looks is a huge turn off. | |

| Are Women Intimidated By Attractive Men? Posted: 3/5/2006 3:58:27 PM | No can't say I wouldn't want to talk to a hot man just because of his looks... I have found that some really good looking guys think they don't have to have a personality and career or try to impress a woman by being a nice person and think their looks will get them anywhere...(but they don't).
I prefer a good looking guy that that has his act together and is as nice inside as outside. The total package is rare! Because I'm still 
So nope I'm not Intimidated by the outter shell... And I think men should be more outgoing and approach pretty women more often. Sometimes their personality makes them a lot more attractive. That goes for as both sexes !!!! If you're not as pretty inside it shines through on how you treat others and is really UGLY.  | |

| Are Women Intimidated By Attractive Men? Posted: 3/6/2006 8:50:25 AM | | People who are good looking can start to look ugly if they are mean and nasty people and people who are physically average can start to look awesome if they are a good person and nice . I have found thats the way it is with me. Nasty mean people will always look ugly to me no matter what they look like on the outside.Some men especailly on here are really hung up on looks. They like message me and ask me if I am hot ? or what size chest I have? To me they have the IQ of an ant to ask that without knowing more about you. But on here lots of people are attracted to others through pictures basically. | |

Posted: 3/6/2006 1:49:17 PM | I can't speak for the rest of the woman,on this site...but I have never never been intimidated by any kind of man...attractive or otherwise...looks mean nothing!.When I was younger,I had some men that were models ask me out...some were great guys ,down to earth,a couple so shallow,that I was bored quickly.Their are reasons for old saying....whats inside,is what counts. | |

| Are Women Intimidated By Attractive Men? Posted: 3/6/2006 5:59:47 PM | I agree with bubbly, it's only looks. Who cares what he looks like. The problem good looking guys have is that women are intimidated by them and they miss out on what could have been something good.
Have you ever known someone who was really good looking and the more you got to know them they more unpleasant they looked to you, or the opposite, someone you didn't find very attractive as you got to know them they began to become attractive to you.
No matter what they are just as human as you and I (we hope most r anyways) and if you are intimidated you are allowing fear to control you and missing out on many things in life.
Eliminate the fear! | |

| Are Women Intimidated By Attractive Men? Posted: 3/6/2006 7:28:28 PM | I'm not intimidated by an attractive man.. The only problem I have is with the "drool", the fellas don't find it too cool
Now, if he's got an oversized ego because he knows he is attractive, then I find that to be very un-attractive and pronto! | |
|
| Are Women Intimidated By Attractive Men? Posted: 3/6/2006 8:07:43 PM | | So, I dunno. Either I'm too good-looking, or I look scary. Women have approached me before in RL though. In fact, this girl I had a huge crush on right now did just that. Usually my biggest crushes start when the girl makes ther first move with me. | |

| Are Women Intimidated By Attractive Men? Posted: 3/6/2006 10:44:39 PM | For me, you bet... I guess, a very attractive man, brings out insecurities in myself...am i good enough, tall enough, small enough, etc.etc.etc. I feel like I am second guessing my own confidence!!! Or... do they want just one thing? What is their motives? etc.
I am confident person, by when an attractive man talks to me I am a can of worms... Once I know he is being genuine then I am more relaxed, when I feel comfortable with him, and that is really does like me...and wants to get to know me... | |

| Are Women Intimidated By Attractive Men? Posted: 3/6/2006 11:15:48 PM | | I experienced both. I was too shy to approach cause he was so damn handsome, and sometimes I wasn't and made myself approach him. I guess it depends how much guts I happen to have that moment to deteremine if I would approach or not. But for the most part I try to get the guts and approach. | |

| Are Women Intimidated By Attractive Men? Posted: 3/13/2006 10:32:47 AM | | I have never been intimidated by attractive men, because that is not what I am drawn to. I long for the intellect that keeps my mind active. Consequently, intelligent men ALWAYS intimidate me. Am scared that I might open my mouth and say something stupid or even sound stupid by how I say things. Intelligent men aren't attracted to women who are too nervous to talk! Gee... now I know why I am single..... | |

| Are Women Intimidated By Attractive Men? Posted: 3/13/2006 1:28:37 PM | I'm not intimidated. I'm visual too.. like the guys.  I'm not shy to say to an attractive guy "Woww.. you're hot! Nice muscles! Can I touch them?"  hehheheheehe  | |

| Are Women Intimidated By Attractive Men? Posted: 3/18/2006 12:07:20 AM | Intimidated? Absolutely not. So he's attractive - does that make him special? Does that make him fun? Does that make him a good person? Not at all. He could be all that ON TOP of his looks, not BECAUSE of them. Frankly, the GQ model type bores me to death if he has nothing between his ears, and many have a lot less between said ears than they think they do.
I went on a date with an underwear model once. So shoot me, I was curious It was boring. He talked a lot about himself. He tried to argue politics with me, but he didn't know his facts. He got sulky when I pointed out that what he was saying wasn't true. He kept cutting me off. Then he imed and asked if I wanted to hang out again - a few times. I said no and he couldn't take it - come on, I'm not sexy enough for you? No, frankly, you aren't. Give me Bill Gates any day.
Sorry if I can't be bothered to sing odes to the "hunks." When you prove to me that you have a brain and a heart, that you're an absolutely extraordinary person, then maybe I'll be a little intimidated because it takes strength and courage to stay a good person. | |

| Are Women Intimidated By Attractive Men? Posted: 3/18/2006 4:33:30 AM | Umm, no. If I wanted someone who's just attractive, I'd order a male real-doll. At least those don't bother to open their mouths.
Would I say no to someone who's got everything I want AND happens to be attractive? Of course not. I'd count my blessings. | |
