I am not intimidated whatsoever! I am very confident in myself and have found that I intimidate men....so what is all of that about????? Double standard, eh? Contact me if you are confident; as I have no room for cowards and wienies. I will treat you right. My male friends say that I am everything a man wants in a woman and I tend to trust their judgement; as they know the REAL me!

Not me. I think only women who are unsure of themselves and lack self-confidence would be intimidated.

I would only date men who are attractive, confident, successful, etc. Why would I settle for less?

Note from the OP.

Thank you all for your input...

I have checked up on this thread occasionally and it seems like my subject brought up some negative emotions, I could have phrased the question better. Apologies.

From my own thoughts and observations I may have stumbled upon an answer to my original post "Why are girls intimidated by good looking, confident and successful men?"

I believe that it is a pure case of stereotype. The majority of men are stereotyped as jerks, the better looking and more confident the man, the more of a jerk he must be. (I am leaving the term "successful" out because I believe this is in the eye of the beholder and cannot be generalized).

I don't think women are intimidated by men's looks or confidence, but rather lack the belief that such a man would not be a jerk, the general consensus is "he will simply use his cards to be a "player" or in other terms to be a "jerk" (cheat, lie, etc...)

I think the rule applies somewhat both ways, men feel similarly towards women.

Although my question seems superficial, once understood, it is not. Sometimes good cards can also be a curse and adversely affect our life. I know how hard good looking women have it in life. Inside we all need similar things, nothing superficial can ultimately fulfill our needs in a companion, yet due to the way our society is, superficial details define so much about us before we are even understood.

Thanks for reading.

zvegas,
After reading what you have posted about yourself in this thread & in your profile I think that maybe your ego thinks these "girls" are intimidated by what you say you are but in reality they are trying to politely tell you to get lost, that they choose not to be around one as yourself.

Strange!

I received a message from zvegas.
A very nice message thanking me for what I posted to his thread even though I was "was slightly offensive".

He said very nice things concerning my profile, than asked me about something and ending with "I will await a note from you." but when I went to reply back he had closed his account.

I was pondering if others on this thread had the same happen to them?

Ok, I will accept that fact, but what about all the women that say they are shy when they first meet the man, and they are successful, good looking, and confident? So another question arises from the matter, confident + shy? I don't understand the equation, you are either confident, or shy, you can't be both. But for the man that is shy and confident, keep searching, one person will crack your shell.

zvegas,

From my experience, many girls are intimidated or afraid to be with a man that matches the person they dream about being with.

Any women that would like to comment on this?


Z.

I dare say that successful, good looking and confident women most likely feel similarly about boys.

WALLSTGENIUS,

you'll notice my little former stripper

I know that the realm of online message boards tends to bring about our hidden sides as we are cloaked with the comfort blanket of anonymity, but is this type of quip really necessary (or warranted for that matter)?

I know why I am afraid. My high school sweety was my first real dreamboat & all I did was say no to catch him. I think I was his first no. Then after several years of chasing (I put graduating from HS first, but not smart enough to finish college), I said I do & had beautiful, healthy children ~ I tease them and tell them they are from the super gene pool. Now that he is gone, I look at my children and have all that I found beautiful in him - with more love & dedication than he could ever muster that will be there at my last breath.

Since then I have felt that I need to accomplish the following to "Earn" the next Superguy

finish raising up the kids so they are on their own perfect ground
finish renovating my house so that it looks perfectly new & high tech
finish resculpting my body the Rachel McLish way until I am perfectly shaped.
finish my education & get the perfect job with power & influence.

Hey I think I just figured out why I have been alone for so long. Wow Z ~ You should be a psychologist. I loved this forum by the way. It was cute - if you skip all the negative ninnies.

Hey ElectricLynn,

I tip my hat to you for setting the priorities straight for yourself and for your kids. Raising kids properly has to be first and foremost because you want them to go out in the world with a strong footing on education, responsibility, morals and ethics. That is what I am doing with my kids. Once the kids are on their own, then dating can take a little more of time. Ironically, I am also working on my house little by little, as time permits... :)

I haven't observed that. Probably quite the opposite if anything.
