Are ppl intimidated by good looking people?

[Morg]

You can't stop your emotions.

can too, us mods had ours removed

Your thoughts.....

I think there is something to that. Especially if your not the most attractive person in the world,maybe even more so in that situation. But if I had to choose..it's more women than men.

I've not been single for a long time, but attractive people scare the crap out of me.

I'm not even interested in some kind of relationship etc, but I just assume they would somehow look down upon a mere mortal. It makes no sense I know, but it seems to me to be like some subconscious of knowing your aesthetic place.

Attractive people have an higher social status than average joes, so you already consider them to be more liked/popular that you and therefore have more to lose if you're socially rejected by them. You think that if they don't take a liking to you everyone else will take their lead and shun you as they did.

It's all bollocks of course, but then when was the last time socially inflicted subconscious drives actually helped anyone?

I have a personal space issue except when it comes to attractive females.

^.Nothing personal to you, but this leads me to another question:

Do attractive girls always pick un-attractive guys as their friends?.... Because they know that the guy has to know that he doesn't stand a chance in hell at being intimate with them; yet the girl still gets the benefit of having a male friend, that many girls like to have.....?

pretty much...I was in the same boat with a female friend, but then after 10 plus years of friendship I decided to walk away because she was basically using me as free advice to patch up one crappy relationship after another.

 

[The Impaler]

I remember always hearing an attractive girl moaning to her friends that she never got chatted up because most guys she met were intimidated by her.

Now im not the most confident guy in the world and usually feel more comfortable around someone if they appraoch me, but if i had the choice between Joe Nobody and and attractive girl on the bus, id sit next to the honey.

Thats me though, and everyones different.

Now if you're sitting in a seat and there's an empty one next to you, and the hot girl looks for somewhere to sit and actually passes it up to stand or sit somewhere else, then yeah...something is going on there. I have actually seen that on the train and subways before.

I am really good looking and if anything you get treated better for it

Also, there's a big difference between confidence and arrogance. Fine line; big difference.

I actually just got off the train a couple of minutes ago, and this cute girl sat right next to me, despite almost an entire row being empty. She was doing work though, so maybe she didn't notice.

But still, I think that's worse, cause that made me more uncomfortable than if your situation occurred.

 

[BlackLantern]

I'm not attractive at all, so I just work extremely hard and try to excel in other areas....being unappealing can be a motivator

 

[DBella]

I don't know if people are generally intimidated by good looking people or not. Maybe some do but I think the reason is that those who are intimidated are those who lack confidence and are self-conscious. If they think that the 'good-looking' person will turn away when they are approached, they are not worth approaching and talking to in the first place.

On the other hand, when I was in my teens, I was told that not many approached me because I looked like a snob. If I were to have a smile on my face ALL the time, I'd look like the Joker!

Whenever I take a seat on a train the seat setup is usually like this.

_,_,_ Aisle _,_

Now usually even if someone is sitting like this

X,_,_Aisle _,X

I won't take that 3rd seat even with that gap in between us, because I just don't like sitting next to people, I rather have my own seat and I stand.

 

[terry78]

If I'm at a theatre or someplace that has rows of seats I HAVE to be on the end. I hate being in between two people.

Saw this on another site, and thought it struck up a valid question:

i was sitting on the bus this morning during the busy hour and i noticed a very hot blonde chick(super model status) sitting by herself. As more and more people got on people made an effort to not sit in the seat right next to her. when the bus was almost full a guy had the opportunity to sit in the seat right next to her but when he saw her he chose to stand. My question is are people intimidated by good looking people?

I think this in general is true. I've gotten on a bus and seen a really hot looking girl, and not wnated to sit next to her in case she:

1)...gets up suddenly; which would be embarrassing to me.
2)... thinks i'm trying to chat her up.
3)Or I end up doing something stupid and ridiculous in her eyes.....


On the other side of the coin, i've been sitting on a bus, where there 's an empty seat right next to me, and i've seen really hot girls get on the bus and stand up, as oppose to sitting down besides me. Probably because they think i'll try to talk to them....or maybe i'm the hot one and they're intimidated by me.

Now that i'm married and older, it doesn't bother me either way. But when i was in my teens and early twenties, i could relate.

Your thoughts.....

I can believe it. I've seen some attractive girls at bars by themselves or with a friend.

People have told me that I look unapproachable- not because of any attractiveness factor but apparently I look scary. Which is curious to me, as I think I'm pretty non-intimidating, but I suppose the tattoos could do it. Depends on the person, though, because I've had quite a few people approach me just because of my tattoos.

You said 'arse' instead of 'ass'

Are you British?

You may have made a very intelligent comment there, but all I saw was Bella's arse

If she got up it would embarrass him?!
