Why would a woman say she is intimidated

As the title says why would a woman tell a guy she feels intimidated or nervous around a guy?

Woman that do approach me are really shy I'm not scary looking I'm a very approachable guy. Women get so nervous around me even the ones that know me giggle. I'm a friendly guy I'm not one that acts all macho, I'm confident thou.

As I become a healthy crab I'm not a portly crab anymore I used to sport a decent size spare tire hanging off of me now I'm leaner and healthy. I have gained more attention from women I do realize now women are turned off by a big spare tire. Now that the tire is gone I have shape my wide shoulders are noticeable. Some women I approach I think are you prairie dogging it you seem really nervous. Seen one of my brother's female friends today she sees me gives me a wave and a giggle she is a married woman any time I see her she gets nervous. Her older sister is the same gets so nervous around me she can barely look at me.

I'm still trying to figure out why the Scorpio girl would say that too me it she was never before when I was a portly crab now that I'm not a portly crab she claims she is intimidated and I make her nervous. It was one of the reasons why I left the company I worked for she was too nervous around me it caused problems.

It is still on my mind her saying you make me feel nervous? I never could get a answer why she was nervous.

They are uncertain about you. I don't mean to offend but you could give off iffy vibes. Or you come across as not terribly friendly or something. I know you say you are but it doesn't sound like they feel you are coming off that way to them though.

Could you post a pic ? It's the only way we can tell..

Maybe you look like rapist.

Must admit that I thought of this same thing..... And now I'm hungry

So it kind of seems like you are fishing for someone to te you that since you got fit you are just so unbelievably attractive and handsome that every woman you come across is know nervous and giggly around you.

Yeah, not going to happen. My honest guess is that you come across as creepy and these women are uncomfortable around you.

If a woman is so nervous around you that you have to change jobs because of it, then you certainly made her very uncomfortable in a bad way.

I'm not trying to be mean here, but are you kind of socially awkward and maybe have a difficult time picking up on others social cues? Many people are this way and it sometimes leaves others feeling very uneasy.

I'm pretty sure its my stature that women notice about me no I'm not tall being 5'9" I'm broad shouldered and large frame makes me larger than most guys my height. I hover around 200 pounds dressed I'm not fat but I'm not ripped.

I spent many years in the construction industry there are days you move 10,000 pounds of material by hand a day some days it was more than that. I'm strong as an ox I push myself till I almost collapse from exhaustion slam back 1.5 litres of water and get back to it. Doing physical work packs on muscle which it has for me. I spent a decade in an office job I lost some muscle but I've regained it all back now that I'm doing physical work again.

Out for something to eat today a girl I've met once before seen me she couldn't stop smiling and giggling acting shy around me I laughed to myself. Same reaction I get from most women, I have observed how a women act around me and other guys say in a grocery store line up.

Cancer's are observant we know what's going on around us all the time, I'm observing peoples behaviors all the time.

When women start acting nervous around me I try to get them to laugh I have a good sense of humor I can get women laughing.

I have lots of female friends but I spent a decade in a job where you really didn't have time for yourself. The work hours were not 9-5 it varied could start work at 5am or work started at 3pm the people that know me barely seen me because I would be at work. The guys that I used to work with were the same with me it is hard to maintain a relationship when your significant other has standard 9-5 work hours. Your days off were not the standard Saturday-Sunday it varied as well your my days off could land in the middle of the week.

For me stress started getting to me I was taking on responsibility making decisions the cost tens of thousands of dollars if my decisions were the wrong ones it would be ugly. I started it for a challenge then the company started expecting it even thou it wasn't in my job description. What stress does to a man's body, food is a stress reliever for a Cancer man not good for the waist line. My head was so full of dealing with issues at work I had time for nothing else it was eat sleep work spent many sleepless nights because I had work on my mind.

I had goals to turn things around for one it was to get my health back its taken me 2 years to get my health back. My natural waistline 2.5 years ago would have been around 50 inches today its 40 inches. I'm away from a job that caused stress in my life I have control of my life again. I can think of women again like I did a decade ago.

Idk about other women-folk, but if I think a man is scary or creepy or feel he may harm me or that he's off in any certain way OR if I think he's an utter douchebag but I know I HAVE to interact with him at other social events, I will be overly nice to him. Smiles, giggles, the whole nine yards. Cause the last thing I want is creeperdude thinking I'm enough of a bitch to be worth anger-killing in a dark alley.

Check out their body languge. If the ladies mimic what you do (they cross their legs when you cross your legs) and if they keep their arms open and hands unoccupied, then they probably like you. But if the seem to do the opposite of what you do or keep their bodies turned away from yours, hands crossed or held or not moving them, if they smile with their mouths closed etc, then their creeper alert is probably going off.

The reason she is intimidated is all on her, she is scared you will reject her, you wont find her pretty, she is overthinking instead of talking or thinking of you as a friend. She is already thinking of reasons why she doesn't measure up to you. But a big BUT she is only nervous because she sees you as her ideal, physically.

I am working on this right now, its all about confidence.

What you said here is true she's fished for comments from me to reassure her that she's attractive. She's seen the women that approach me they are very attractive they are women that would never approach the guy she is dating.

I have changed my appearance I'm slimmer my female friends have told me they like what they see they said I look good. Her nervousness started when she seen me change into a healthier guy I lost my round face. I also went clean shaven which makes me look much younger now that I'm healthier it makes me look young.

Back when I was a portly crab,
Dreamt of a world, oh so fab.

Always knew it was within my grasp,
But the tire held me down like a god damn clasp.

I said I'll have this no more,
I want the ladies lining up at my door.

So today I'm a healthy crab,
And it's all of you who's looking drab.

Staring at me all wordless,
because I make you so very nervous.

I'm no longer portly crab.

Portly crab.

:drops mic:

LOL.
