Guys, what intimidates you about a woman?

I asked for a guy's response, thanks.

...not to be snarky, but seriously. I want guys to answer this. Not the usual dxp barrage of women who decide to speak up for them. It really won't answer my question, tbh.

Well that's just what I've heard from men I know.

I'll be outtie now 🙂

I think it depends on the guy and his level of insecurity, too. I've asked on occasion and I always get misc. answers. I asked here out of curiosity what those here have to say about it.

I always like to hear what each guy has to say because everyone has different personalities and THAT is what you deal with on a daily basis.

Nothing about a woman really intimidates me.

Mystify, yes. Intimidate, no.

Not surprised hearing that come from you. :p

I think both genders mystify eachother.

Its like words cant really describe it. Everything depends on factors like timing and such. One day the circumstances may be more favorable for certain things and another its not.

Well, what are some experiences that you had where you were intimidated?

this site should be dxp for women's lifetime. "Lifetime dxp for women."

Approaching one I'm interested in.
Not quite as strong (a feeling) as when I was younger, but its always there.

Now just as people as far as take the sexual aspect out of it, usually nothing really. People being people.

You strike me as shy and introverted.

I have yet to find a woman intimidating. Are you sure "intimidate" is the best word?

I guess that's more about the moment than the person.
In retrospect, nothing in particular about a woman intimidates me.

Yep.

I think lack of confidence is why some guys find women "intimidating."

So far, the most common response I've gotten when I ask this is "she's too pretty" aka, he feels she's out of his league.

I've been intimidated by women and I still do, but I have always thought it was just my own mind trying to sabotage me. Why? Because those women who intimidate me were (and are) the "type" I'm the most attracted to. Now that really makes sense, doesn't it?

Actually, I see the whole labeling women as intimidating as a classic case of projecting issues onto others. Kind of a knee jerk reaction to all the changes in women's social "roles". That's how I rationalize it anyways.

Nobody tryna impress though, everybody going about their business and thats what your supposed to do in life is have goal and stick to it your significant other or the opposite sex is supposed to inspire you and help you to carry it forward, not just in relationships if you truly keep your mind open you get inspired by watching strangers and their behaviour on daily basis.

I had to re-read this a dozen of times so I could make some sense out of it, but I think the general idea is good.

My answers keep shuttin threads down on here, yall gotta come up with some better questions this too easy!

Sweetcheeks, this wasn't asked to challenge people. It was asked out of curiosity of the types of responses that would be received. As I said above, I'm always interested in the misc. responses since every guy is different.

Your response is not the "be all" one here. Sorry to burst your bubble.

I don't think a woman has ever intimidated me and I humbly say that. Intrigued? Intimidated? No. That's not to say that a woman has never tried. Usually I can see right through that and I think I can say its the same with most men. Insecurity will make you unsure and at those times I think men rely on intuition and instinct and feel our way through.

c'mon guys...if a hot chick walked out of the bathroom with a strap-on on...you might flinch a bit!

(sorry for the sarcastic derail rr..I'll exit now)

that sounds more very capricornish than anything.

what is your venus and moon?? Virgo moon and Venus capricorn??

"MOON or VENUS in CAPRICORN

The type of woman who attracts you is socially acceptable and somewhat formal or aloof - and serious about success or status.

If she can boost your image or your career or finances, then likely she'll draw your interest - as may "Old Money" or OLDER women. As you get older yourself, you may be attracted to much YOUNGER women.
To some degree, what you see here also applies if you have the Sun in this Sign. But for a man it is his Moon and Venus Signs which better indicate the types of woman he is most attracted to, or may choose for a mate, especially the Moon.


Powerful women or "executive" types also interest you; and it is important to you that you can regard your mate as competent and responsible and mature.

You are afraid of rejection, so may act rather shy or reserved - and can be drawn to a woman who is either equally reserved, or is willing to be assertive enough to take the emotional risks you can't take yourself.

You may appear to fear commitment, but what you really want is a very committed relationship with the right woman who will take commitment as seriously as you do - and you will wait as long as it takes until you are certain. (continued)

oh that's why.....you're afraid. You need the women to be aggressive with you. Aries women w/dominant fire would be good for you.

Yes, those are my placements.

Fear is something I'm familiar with. I've probably feared every single thing you can think of, you just name it. I'd say my life has pretty much been about conquering my fears and embrace the experience that ensues.

I've been rejected a lot of times by girls. Only a few times I was accepted and I've come to accept that. It doesn't even bother me anymore. However, whenever I've encountered women I'm really really attracted to I have this tendency to shy away.

It's interesting you mention fire dom women, since there's no fire in my chart. I'm not very fond of fire energy to be completely honest.

A woman with three breasts.

lol

It's interesting that so far, most of the ones that have admitted any sort of intimidation/shyness have been earth sign dudes. Hmm.

I have actually had a female or two intimidate me over the years. Generally they catch me off guard, and are so vicious, cold blooded, and just plain mean that they rock me back on my heels. It doesn't last long, but long enough to make me uncomfortable, and for them to declare "I won!", at least to themselves.
Basically, there is some sort of underhanded nastiness they throw at me, which makes me feel exposed and vulnerable. Once I have a chance to catch my breath, I regain control.

Approaching someone I am attracted to can be difficult, but not in the same way that I describe. Of course, I feel exposed and vulnerable in that scenario, also, but it is of my own making.

I am not particularly intimidated by beautiful women, at least not any more. I have come to accept that they have absolutely no real interest in me, and if they are acknowledging me it is either to belittle me, or to use me for their own ends. Either way, I wind up on the wrong end of the stick, so I choose to not engage at all.
