Is it normal that i'm intimidated by beautiful women?

I'm a straight guy, so obviously I REALLY want contact with beautiful women. The problem is that beautiful women are just SO intimidating. Although I'm quite attractive, I often just don't feel "worthy" to approach them. They are so superior. They could easily destroy me with one little remark if they wanted I think.

    If you've thought this, then it's very likely that others have as well. I think it's normal to be intimidated by beautiful women; however, you can use this to your advantage. Attractive women are intimidating, thus it's possible that they do not get asked out as often as an "average" looking female. On top of all that, women usually verbally abuse each other and their main targets are the pretty ones, so it's possible that her self esteem is not as high as her looks would suggests. You have as much of a chance of going out with her as anybody else. I say that you should just walk up to her with a confident demeanor and ask her on a date. If she says no, then oh well, but at least you had the nerve to do what a lot of other guys probably wish they could do.

      Yep that was well said. And to the dude who wrote the original post I know exactly how you feel! If I can offer any advice I would say just to approach her without delay because standing back and thinking about it adds to the awkwardness and makes it less natural when you commit.

        Hopefully I wasn't being too mean with my view of women. I know that not all women are as verbally abusive as I mentioned, but I know that there are some like that who enjoy putting others in misery. However, I figured that a pretty girl probably intimidates a lot of people, thus many don't feel compelled to ask her out.

    Don't let pretty women intimidate you! I use to get intimidated by hot guys and when I was in my early 20's I finally got up the nerve to talk to good looking guys and realized they have just as many, if not more flaws then average or ugly people...lol
    So don't be afraid to talk to them, after all even confidence and a sense of humor from an average Joe can make a guy hot!! So you got the looks, now add the confidence! :)

    Well a lot of pretty women are insecure and need other ppl to boost their confidence. So approaching them may actually make them happy. Tha otha half expect men to fall at their feet and are probably bitches that u wont wana deal with. Oops i meant to say divas...

    A lot of people have this, so I guess it's normal, but there's no logical reason to think you're not "worthy" to them. Those women don't want to be treated as superiors, they want to be treated as actual women.

    Just treat them like you would any other girl. Don't put them on a pedestal. Talk with them because you're interested in what they're like, not solely because you want to bang them.

  • They are superior? I think not. In college a girl basically done that to a guy, so I took it upon myself to make her feel the exact same. She probably still "likes" me, but I flung her to the side, ignored her, and started talking to the better looking girl in class. If you could see her face, it would be that of a crushed woman.

    They're not superior, you just have to know what angle to come to.

    • Thumbs down for making someone feel the way they made someone else feel? That's totally deserved...Or is it that a woman got a taste of her own medicine that you don't like?

        Actually, I think it's because the anecdote was irrelevant. I mean, you could have just commented by stating your last point and that would have been just fine. I will admit, however, that people seem to be pushing the thumbs down button nowadays like they don't even really care how it affects the commentator. The mentality seems to be "Oh look its you [insert name], I'm going to thumbs your comment down, that ought to show you who's cooler." It's kind of ridiculous.

        • Very much agree. I'm not sure if it happens to me a lot, but I do know there have been atleast three people that have done that to me. Shame really, they let their emotions overcome their logic.

    I think you've got to remember that no one is superior to anyone else.It doesn't matter if your 'beautiful' or rich or whatever. If you aproach someone and be polite 99% of people will be nice back, only the dickheads will be rude.

      Agreed. Think of it this way, women are like dogs,they can sense fear. Be confident. Thats what women women want, a stong, confident guy who can put her in her place. Trust me, i know.

      The more you treat them as just being 'another ordinary girl' that will irritate them (since they are always used to getting their asses kissed) and that 'irritation' will make them love you because it feeds in with the confidence and being a man. Women dont want a pussy for a guy, if they wanted that they may as well date a girl.

      Just be polite, be yourself, dont kiss her damn ass and dont own up to her ( thats a no no no trust me )and if she dont like you for you and is a horrible person, than shame on her looks.. no one ones an empty bottle of dust. And this is coming from a girl.

      Good luck

    It is completly normal. It's the same for girls! We get intimated by supper hot guys all the time. We look at them and think ''wow i'll never have a chance with him he's to hot for me.''

    Don't think that way. If she is a bitch to you why would you want to talk to her. Looks shouldn't be everything... it's what's on the inside that counts MOST, not saying looks shouldn't matter though.

    No woman is superior either. Everybody should be treated as equals but don't see that in our society.

    I pretty much agree with everybody else on what they said too. :)

    Self fulfilling prophacy, you feel like your a pussy so the result is that you are one. If you just simply felt like a dominant guy than you would more than have a chance with those divas

    If you're so intimidated you're never gonna get one. It's hard enough being that they're usually always taken.

    Once you realize you got nothing to lose, you'll have more confidence. I'd rather get rejected by a hottie than an uggo any day.

    I wouldn't say that they are superior.
    Looks aren't everything, mate. She may be beautiful on the outside but inside her head could be nothing but fluff. You need some more confidence, man. One little remark could destroy you? She can't be that great if she's going to shit-talk a complete stranger.

    Its sounds like you need more selfesteem you will problably get rejected a few times or not but you really need to put yourself out. Because if you don't than you never know what you're missing. Trust me I know from experience. But don't worry I'm sure there's a lot of beautifull girls out there who are looking for love and understanding who are also really nice and good persons.

    If you are aware of the fact that you'll probably get shot down a few times before you can get lucky, then approaching them will be a bit easier. Just do it, you never know!
