Are ppl intimidated by good looking people?

[Scooter]

I've never felt intimidated by attractive people (though, I myself am very attractive).

Nex time you see a hot girl (or guy) on a bus, go for it. S/he is riding a bus after all - can't be that special. Also, who wants to talk to (much less get involved romantically) with ugly people? Standards, people.

 

[Eggyman]

Yeah, it's not like they paid for both seats

 

[dolfan55aj]

That's so crazy it might work, Golgo

I'm going to try it next time I'm in a bar: *eggyman approaches hot girl* 'Hey ugly, would you mind if I don't buy you a drink?'

Reverse psychology FTW!

Ice Broken. You're in, lol. Actually not a bad idea t:.

This is the stupidest thread I've ever seen.

Then either you haven't seen very many, or you've been blind since you were a child and just a few minutes ago got your sight back.

 

[Eggyman]

I'm intimidated by girls with blue hair

 

[Star]

The hell? No, I just have confidence and if I see an attractive person I'd be MORE inclined to want to talk to them then some overweight dude eating a corn dog

When I was in high school, I would always complain that no guys wanted to date me. My dad would assure me that it was because high school boys were too intimidated and too immature and it would get better as I got older. I never believed him, but oddly enough, he was completely right. I swear, it felt like the second I graduated high school men were asking me out constantly.

Would you care to rephrase the end of that post please?

LOL

Anyways, If the bus is getting full, I don't even consider what the next person looks like, I want to sit down dammit!

However, if the bus was practically empty, then it would be totally inapproriate to sit next to the hot girl. One time I was sitting on an empty bus and two girls came on and one sat on either side of me and had a conversation with eachother the whole time while I was in between. I was too confused to do anything.

What planet have you been living on? If the shoes fits. wear it. For some ppl, this applies.

I guess I give people more credit then they deserve. SELF CONFIDENCE IS A GOOD THING.

We're not even talking about chatting up a 'hot' person, we're talking about SITTING next to them. Not something that should be intimidating.

I can understand the OP logic. I think subconciously I've done that before, I've avoided being near the hot girl in the room. Why? Like I said, it's a subconcious thing. Maybe my brain is thinking, she knows she's hot, so if I'm near her, she's gonna think I'm just near her because she's hot and therefore be creeped out by me. Or something.

I think there is also the feeling of not wanting to embarrass yourself in front of someone hot. So someone like me who isn't great socially in the first place and rarely talks to people I don't know, would subconciously make a little bit of extra effort NOT to talk to someone hot

Even though i don't take public transport anymore, i find that i still do it out of habit even now. In class, at college if i see a really hot girl in class, i never sit next to her. Why? Not because i lack self confidence, but because i don't want her to think that i'm sitting next to her just so i can talk to her. I just figure that hot girls get hit on all the time, so they assume every guy that comes near them, is trying to talk to them.

It's funny too because it can work in ones favor, because this is how i met my wife. I met her on my old job. She's hot, and all the guys at my job were hitting on her for months when she first started. But i barely said two words to her because i figured guys are trying to talk to her all day. In fact, if i saw her walking my way, i'd look away and avoid eye contact. Now, that we're are married with kids, i asked her, "Why me?" "Why of all the guys on the job, did you take interest in me?" She told me it was because i was the only guy that never hit on her. And she wanted to see whether i was gay, or just didn't find her attractive.In the end, she said it was refreshing/attractive that someone wasn't hitting on her. This won't wok with all women, as some loved to be chased, but in my instance it worked.

I've heard this from other ppl i know too, who are hot. Hot ppl are so used to being hit on, that when someone doesn't hit on them, they start questioning themselves, no matter how good they look.

Co-sign, my man.

No, it doesn't always work, if you use it as some sort of strategy. But from my experience, at the very least the attractive person WILL notice the behavior. And of course, you have to act on it when you see an opening.

If you just ignore her all the time, then she'll peg you as the closet nutcase who doesn't like being social situations.

When I was in high school, I would always complain that no guys wanted to date me. My dad would assure me that it was because high school boys were too intimidated and too immature and it would get better as I got older.

That's because now you were legal.

Read the first post again. He used that (^) as an example. This thread is not about being afraid to sit next to attractive women (or men).

Wait, wait, WHAT? In my experience that drives guys away more than anything.

Regardless of whatever we're talking about, sitting next to them, talking to them, etc... being intimidated is silly.

 

[Warhammer]

Sure it is, but it doesn't mean it can't happen.

No, it's because I didn't have to rely on dating people who were high-school age. High school boys (at least when I was in high school) were not bold at all. I didn't turn 18 until I was already in college I think our society almost TEACHES young boys to be intimidated of beautiful women...all the movies have the hot girl turning down the geeky guy, etc. All the magazines try to show us the "perfect woman" who is airbrushed to all hell and has on lots of makeup. Look at Hollywood- totally saying that those good-looking people are "above" normal society.

Everyone is human, and although I understand why people are intimidated by certain appearances, it really is silly.

Feelng intimidated is human nature. Are you telling me that if you were on a train/bus and a big, sweaty guy came and stood next to you, and just stared at you the whole time, eventhough he didn't say a word, you wouldn't feel intimidated? Different situations cause ppl to feel it. When a person you feel is attractive is around you, most of us, suddenly become self conscience, like: "Do i have a booger hanging out of my nose?" "Does my breathe smell o.k''. "Is my hair a mess?" The mere sight of someone can trigger these reactions, no matter how confident you usually are.

 

[Warhammer]

You can't stop your emotions.

 

[Master Chief]

I think I used to be like that, but lately I've been walking around with this "I don't give a f**k" attitude. And now the world looks awesome.

[a cupcake mess]

It's true.

I don't consider myself to be good looking, but that is the pathetic excuse I would get to explain why I was being treated so badly/unfairly.

It boosts my confidence though because I don't mind ruining the haters day when I show up
