Ladies, you really just need to have a little more confidence in your self as a woman and in who you are as a person! You know, I've got this really good friend of mine that I grew up with, he is absolutely, drop dead gorgous. He takes good care of himself, has his own home, Great job, he's a riot to be around, he really has it all going on. So many of my girlfriends over the 35 years i've known him have wanted to go out with him so badly, but would never approach him because they thought that someone that handsome would never be interested in them. you'd think that someone like him would be going out with so many women. ..."If only", as he says. He told me, that if a woman liked herself and was proud of who she is, why wouldn't he? About 5 years ago he was at the Abby flea market looking at some tools and had this woman who was over weight and not all that much to look at, come up to him and ask him a question about this paticular tool. Well I guess she cracked a few jokes about the tools and really made him laugh. They started walking and talking for a bit then she asked him if he'd be interested in having lunch with her, and so they went out for lunch and had a great time together. As a matter of fact he enjoyed her company so much he asked her to dinner, well they went out for over 2 years. She told me once that it took absolutely everything in her power to ask him out, but what did she have to lose? well it worked. He told me that a woman doesn't have to be a 6,7,8,9,or a 10 to be sexy or attractive. sexiness comes from within and if you feel sexy, others will find you that way as well, also what he finds attractive and sexy is when a woman is happy and confident in herself. Just think of something clever or funny to get their attention, then dazzle them with you!! ...Just my two cents worth. Good luck and like mike says, "just do it, you might be surprized"!!
Maybe it's my cynism speaking but something tells me stories like this are a rarity. On average if an overweight woman walked up to a good-looking guy and asked him out, I doubt the results would be good. That's just the type of society we live in. As for myself I try to keep an open mind but at the same time I can't help but think these guys have a completely different mind set and are probably used to getting what they want, including the women. That won't stop me from talking to a guy but in the back of my mind I wonder if I'm wasting my time. | |

| Are Women Intimidated By Attractive Men? Posted: 11/17/2007 10:58:16 PM | Never... I only likes ones I am attracted to and have never had that thought even cross my mind.
To be honest, not sure why so many men are intimidated by attractive women....you never know until you try. | |

| Are Women Intimidated By Attractive Men? Posted: 11/18/2007 3:51:00 PM | Usually no. I'm in sales and fine myself taking with many men on a regular basis, many of whom are very attractive. Typically I find that I am much more at ease in the company of men then women. What trips me up is that combination of smoking hot AND chemistry.
When you look up and he's stunning and you feel that lightening-like zing that makes your stomach bottom out and your entire body tremble? For me it's usually over with right there! I can't tell you the number of times I have looked like an absolute idiot because I was too stunned to utter anything more than monosyllabic responses. | |

| Are Women Intimidated By Attractive Men? Posted: 1/10/2008 2:54:11 PM | I've had women tell me they thought I was very good looking....unfortunately it was some time before the turn of the century!! DANG!
But seriously, i am sure plenty of great looking guys are just as interested in less than knock out women as they are in supermodel types....as a matter of fact, who wants to deal with all the other guys chasing her and her prissy attitude?
A not-so-classically beautiful woman with great grooming trumps Barbie every time in my book! | |

| Are Women Intimidated By Attractive Men? Posted: 1/13/2008 6:54:22 AM | Jordanne, Is it possible that in an attempt to initiate conversations with"GQ" men, you had already stereotyped them and it affected your communication with them, causing them to see you as superficial! I believe they are more likely to be sick of the games, than just stupid and arrogant! I consider myself attractive, although I would not find myself dating someone who seen only that in me! I am much more than a physical being! I have many other things to offer in a relationship! So what I am asking is, is it possible that your approach simply didn’t impress those men? (I am only asking!!! {I am not making accusations!} I haven’t jumped to any conclusions! Only speaking from experience!) I have been approached by women who were looking at me like a piece of meat! Even some who pointed out the fact that they were beautiful! As if to say, we deserve each other! Does it make me a lazy dater because I am turned off by it! It may be the fact that I am into Loving and Lasting relationships! I am a realist, and I know that looks fade in time! The woman for me will definitely see deep into who I am and She will be impressed by who I am, not distracted by what I look like! I wouldn't mind if she was not "physically perfect"! Not that I am either, I have the desire to be with a beautiful woman! I would not settle for someone who is just a pretty package! There has to be something inside that makes her beautiful! "THE WHOLE PACKAGE" I have found someone who fits that description, She is on this site and has such a positive attitude! She is a pretty package with beauty as well! THE WHOLE PACKAGE! So I might suggest that when you talk to men you find dreamy, you don't rely on your own good looks to impress them! Again I am not assuming that this is the case! It is just an observation! God Bless and take care! KJB | |

Wow that wasn't nice....lol! What about the guys who think they are G-ds gift to women too!!!! Telling you how lucky you are to be going out with them!!!????
Girl's never go out with a guy who is prettier than you are... that's my motto....!
Girlflower No one's chasing me.. because I'm not chase-able.... On dating histus.. | |

I have to say, I want you, heart body and soul! I can't believe you are even posting on this forrum! You are the most beautiful woman in the world! I am blown away by your humble nature! It would go without saying that you are physically gorgeous, I have to say though that you are so much more! You make me melt! I hope I can do the same to you! With Love, your friend, KJB  | |

| Are Women Intimidated By Attractive Men? Posted: 4/2/2008 11:23:23 PM | Jeesh, I feel a little sheepish here! I thought I had found the lady I was looking for and it turned out that She was just someone with too much time on her hands! I will be more careful in the future! I think I will delete my profile if I find another weirdo on here! This chick has fake profiles on here and it is crazy to think that after talking for a couple months, I still believed her lies! Hope someone benifits from this lesson! KJB | |

| Are Women Intimidated By Attractive Men? Posted: 4/3/2008 6:48:48 AM | Very attractive people, men or women, are PEOPLE, just like everyone else. They’re not perfect; they honk when they blow their nose, get zits, have bad hair days, have bad breath after eating onions and garlic, leave skid marks in their underwear, have foot odour, fart in bed and blame it on the dog, belch after drinking beer, smell stinky after working out or on their cars, AND have insecurities and fears, just like everybody else.
Motivational teachers use techniques like picturing your audience in their underwear to overcome apprehension when speaking in public. The next time you run into a very attractive person, try visualizing them with a cold … red, runny eyes and nose and all … and see if you’re still intimidated.

| Are Women Intimidated By Attractive Men? Posted: 4/3/2008 7:09:23 AM | I'm not, I'm drawn to them. I love some good eye candy, and if they are intelligent and can hold a conversation, I could talk to one all day...if they think I'm hot too then there's no reason why stuff can't happen.

| Are Women Intimidated By Attractive Men? Posted: 4/3/2008 7:10:06 AM | @warrior....I am approachable and like to socialize, so i have no problems talking to anyone, for that matter. not intimated but to persue them....naw, they spend way to much of their sparetime going to the gym, worring bout how they look and every inch of their body. each to their own. I do excercise but i like spending my sparetime with other things that life has to offer. besides, theyre out of my league. if theyre atrracted to me then they will persue me....lol. I do have a few friends and theyre hot atheletic guys and I am blessed to have that....lol.  | |

| Are Women Intimidated By Attractive Men? Posted: 4/3/2008 9:02:06 AM | | Just about everygirl I've ever date has told me that they were first intimidated by me.. After they get to know me and see how much fun I am and get to know my personallity they always tell me that they would have never guessed I was so down to earth.. I think its sad that both men and women more often then not, automatically assume that if someone of the opposite sex is beautiful they're automatically gonna be an stuck up ass or bytch. Yes nice guys can be intelligent and hold converstions and say more then "Hello" . Average and ugly people are not the only ones with smarts. | |

| Are Women Intimidated By Attractive Men? Posted: 4/3/2008 9:43:05 PM | I once did that, about 20 yrs ago, but my reasons for not taking them up on their interest was more of a 'he'll have too many women after him and grow tired of me quickly' than I didn't think I was good enough.
I have grown beyond that, as in letting good looking guys in and shutting the door on those I may not find initially good looking.
Good looking ppl need love too and it is sometimes a pain for them to find as it is with us average and below average looking ppl.
This is like the 5th thread on here about looks.. what is up with that?
Yes, looks are often the initial thing that attracts anyone, but to look beyond and find some type of chemistry is what I am finding harder to do.
I can't seem to attract the men who stimulate me mentally and emotionally as well as physically all in one neat package.
When I do, they seem to live too far away and have challenges in life as I have to even get together.
It is frustrating at best.
But I will just hang in there and maybe someday a man will cross my path that screams we are meant for each other and no amount of other crap in our lives will hinder that.
That may be a pipe dream.. personally, I like my social life as it is for now.
Work/career, which we all spend most of our waking hours doing, does need an overhaul.
So, I need to concentrate on that more than a relationship.
If I am not happy with what I am doing with my life, then why bother spending energy on some guy who may or may not be compatible to what I want?
I'd rather be happy with myself. | |
