What if anything intimidates you about the opposite sex? Just curious.

 

I guess we all out grew that being afraid of the opposite gender thing here on this site.

 

How much of MY stuff she would end up with in a divorce.

 

Their looks intimidate me. There is a girl working at an electronics store near me. I went to high school with her. I was going to ask her out today But the second I saw her and saw exactly how good she still looks I got a big lump in my throat and couldn't say a thing. I just turned and walked away before she saw me.

 

I'd have to say a good looking girl can be intimidating, especially if your shy like I am. I think the biggest thing is being scared you'll do or say something stupid and embarrass yourself. The bad thing is I think that guys a girls both feel that way, maybe not though

 

Exactly how I feel. I fugure if I dont say anything then I wont say somthing I will regret.

Nice looking truck by the way!!!! Real nice color!!

 

though I am not really "shy" I do tend to choke up around a good looking woman ..Its nice to know that I am not the only one ...I;ll bet women feel the same way....

 

I like your answer mrwizard it wasn't exactly what I was expecting to get.

 

Yes females get the same way (at least I do). What intimidates me about guys otherwise, size (I'm 5'3" 115#), how much they know about thier trucks (vehicles in general)....cause I don't know a whole lot yet (thats why I'm here).

 

I tend to be imtimidated by the various things those females can do will driving down the road.

 

It is not the intimidation factor as it is the maintenance factor.

Finding a down to earth person is the real challenge. One who isn't wrapped in themselves. Finding a hot looking individual isn't too terribly hard. It's just a matter of affording their prima donna status. Woman are easy in that regard, you just keep them supplied with material things. Guys, on the other think they have carte-blanche access to any female they desire.

There are exceptions. Went to school with a girl who was well off and looked very nice. She ended up marrying a doctor and the marriage lasted about 8 years. She finally found out about his infidelity and filed for divorce. She asked him when he had started cheating on her and he admitted that it had never stopped from the time he meet her.

My point in this ramble? When you get choked up at seeing someone, try and take a breath and see them 10 years from now with you. If what you see is still attractive, you will find it much easier to approach them.

 

don't be intimdated by pretty girls.....

either they are trick a$$ed and downright mean because they think they are gods gift to the world or they don't know they are beautiful and they are just as scared and intimidated as you are.

its easy to tell the two apart. first thing to notice is how they dress. if its the former, chances are they will be trying to look sexy as possible- either by the clothes they wear or the makeup, either way they are superficial and generally fake, and these are the girls that are a complete waste of time and money. ive found that out the hard way a few times now. even if they seem nice at first, you'll see the real person in them soon enough. the ones that are conservative and not trying to impress anyone are the ones you want to pursue. don't be intimidated. one of the most important things a girl likes in a guy is confidence. you need that to make a good first impression. hope this helps

 

I too used to be shy............but that was getting me no where....

PSD_Power.......FordRancher.......chas1234........ .guys Just do what I did

Give up on trying to impress girls/women.....be yourself and if they don't like you ...forget them......besides even if you do screw up and make a fool of yourself.......WHO CARES......no one will remember in a 100 years .........

 

You can't keep up the act forever, so be yourself.

As far as pretty girls being intimidating, many don't get a lot of dates for that reason. Some are delighted if an average guy chats her up, you might be the first guy to come along in a long time. Worst that can happen is she will say no.

I knew a girl who was "classically" beautiful, when I got my first job out of school. There was a small group of which she and I was part of, that went out to happy hours every once in awhile. This lady was so pretty none of us guys ever danced with her or even sat down to have a chat.

Now that I think back, us guys were all stupid and didn't read the signs. 1) Why was she with a group of people from work instead of out with a boy friend? 2) Why was she sitting all alone with the guys all cowering in a corner? 3) Why after working for 3 years did we never hear that she even had a boy friend? Answer, us guys were whimps and she was kind of lonely.

AH well, if I only knew then what I know now... I would have got into lots more trouble. So I guess shyness is nature's way of preventing us guys from coming on like James Bond and getting into more trouble than we could handle.

Like my dad said, "Just Talk with them, if things click, great if not, nothing lost".

Don't be intimidated.

I can talk big now since I'm married and don't have to do that stuff anymore.

Don't worry guys, you'll find the one!

I was recently in your guy's shoes, next thing I know I'm driving this beautiful and smart woman home from a local party (I was the D.D. at the time). We exchanged numbers, took it real slow, then "Bam", next thing I know, I'm looking at wedding stuff. (this was over a 2 year period)

What ever you do, don't change the things that you like to do just to impress some one else, and most important just be your self!

Oh yeah there are gals out their that like Fords, so don't think you need a 60's corvette or some thing.
