If you are that shy you may come accross to others as not very approachable because of that, not your looks or body


Makes sense...starting to see a patern, that maybe i need to work on my shyness :(

Judging from your pic, I'm assuming you mean big as in tall and muscular. I'm not intimated cause I've dated guys bigger than you (and I'm pretty tall myself. Thin, mind you, but tall). However, when they are really muscular (like body builders with no neck and their veins popping out) then I think that's disgusting.

Maybe some are, but I'm not. No way. And I could easily be intimidated since I'm five feet zero. I like big guys, though. Always have. I like my man being significantly larger than I am.

I think intimidation is in the head of the one being intimidated. I used to intimidate my daughter's big, burly boyfriends.....

Baby I would not be intimidated by u. Maybe thats due to the fact that im confident enough to strike up a conversation with u. The only problem i would have is drooling over your pic!

Hello ladies

I am 6'5" about 275 I played football against guys that made me feel small 6'8" 300.
would that be to big or do giants like that be attractive . I have dated girls small and tall but lately past # years tall (over 6') girl seem to be more attractive to me.

But then again all it takes is a smile to melt me like goo

6'1''? Yeah you're so tall... Not. At 250lbs you're rather overweight, so maybe this is what you're getting at. There are plenty of threads on "do women date fat blokes" though: some care and others don't.


Ok that is just an unfair statement. The guy looks like he doesn't have an ounce of fat on his body. His weight, even if he wasn't a bodybuilder, wouldn't make him "rather overweight" either.

As for the OP, I do not think women are intimidated by big guys. Most women like muscular men.

Personally, I wouldn't chase after you because I would assume that at your level of fitness you spend a ton of time in the gym and would find me either incredibly digusting or a side-project. Even when I was thin, I never went for the muscle guys because I want to spend time with a guy who isn't obsessed with his body. Maybe it is an unfair stereotype...so, I guess my point is that by showing off your goods in such a way, you are telling women you are proud of yourself, which is fine BUT women might interpret that as you not spending a lot of time with them and instead spending it in the gym pumping iron.

The only remedy for that is photos with your shirt on. You are an attractive man and my opinion is that you will attract more women with more pictures of your face and enticing smile than with pictures of your chest :)

Yeah no use for skinny men-very uncomfortable.
Prefer a guy with some meat on his bones and with the height-even better.


I am with you on that one... I would rather have a guy that was a bit over-weight, than skinny.

As far as big guys intimidating me, not at all.... I think it's sexy. I'm only 5'2" and I've dated lots of men over 6' .. in several that were 6'4" or taller. The only exception would be if he was a weirdo and maybe trying to force himself on me.

I've never been intimidated by a man, but there's a woman or two I know could kick my azz...

I've dated and crushed on all heights. My husband was 5' 6", two lovers 6'2", one fwb, a little shorter than me, I think.

I do prefer kissing the man I can reach with just a little tip-toe.

Best kiss was when I was in not so high heels and he kissed me quick, we were on a slope and we fell together. A few weeks later, second kiss, second date, when I was getting work done on my poor sprinter's toes, and was supposed to stay off the balls of my feet, I tip-toed up to see if he was at that perfect height like I thought maybe he was. I said so in between kisses. He looked down, saw me on my tip-toes and noted that I was going to hurt my feet. I thought he was going to stop kissing me! He lifted me and set me on the door step, just high enough, and went back to kissing me. mmmm

I believe that his height was around 5' 9", maybe more. Not sure.

But it made the kiss, and everything else that night, perfect. Or maybe he did, I dunno.

Then there was the 24 yo, very tall and brawny and yummy who just *really* knew what he was doing.. I don't believe I ever approached him though, maybe his youth intimidates me some? For a couple of years, everytime he kissed me, he took me by surprise, and his height really had nothing to do with my failure to push away and slap him like I otter have done.....though I did look around to see if we were alone...

His smile attracts me, I love kissing and joy and lips that look firm, full, and fun to play with. Height means little compared to that. If you surprise me with a kiss, you'd best be good....

At 5' 1" am I intimidated by big guys? Not at all. Now if you asked me if I were intimidated by a "buff" guy I would say yes. Guys that work out like that seem to come in two main catergories: the really nice guy that encourages people or the guy that is so into it that you feel like you could never meet his standards.

Intimidated? NO.... Unless you were threatening me.... are you threatening me?!?!? lol

I'm used to going out with men just 4 inches taller than me... enuf for heels but short enuf for a comfy kiss session...

Then I went out with a tall, buff guy and all my thoughts changed! I LOVED his size against mine... I felt so protected and safe.... And the kissing wasn't a problem, he'd just pick me up!! (the prob was his age didn't match the numbers... if'n ya know what I mean... ech...)

So bring it on big guy... all tall and muscular and MEOW!!!

I only spend about an hour to an hour and a half in the gym , five days a week, thats not in stone. I would make time for that special someone in my life

I think your mailbox will be full now

Add me to the list of ladies who like bigger guys. I want a guy who is taller and one who weighs more than me - just one of my quirks.

Well I have two things to say to that one, can I be your special someone
and two, good luck with it all, there will be someone out there for you, and at the end of the day what is an hour and half in a day, if you like doing it then good for you, personally it's not something I would have a problem with, and anyone who likes you for you won't have a problem with it either, just because you are in a relationship doesn't mean you have to spend every minute of the day with them, and it is good to have interests outside of your relationship.


still a shame though, you being in the wrong country.......

Good luck
