Women are "intimidated" by me

I dont know what the problem is! whether im here in Yuma or home on leave i can get a women! im a 20 year Marine, 5'11, 180lbs and very muscular. I get told im attractive all the time by my lady friends, but i also get told that im "intimidating" and "unapproachable". whenever i try to flirt with ladies it feels like i dont even have a chance from the start. The only women that hit on my are senior citizens that remember Marines from WW2 ha.

Does Anyone else have this problem???

    Perhaps your personality is somehow off-putting despite your physical attractiveness?

    mayb there's something about you that scares the shit out of them or something that they like but still scares them shitless?

    man i dont know but i thats how it is here too. older women always say "ohh your handsome", one even touched on the chest part in the middle (cleavage?) and said "your muscular". she was really attractive but her husband was my uncle. but looking for situations like that with ladies my age is hard. you got any success yet?

    I don't know...I've heard that most women try to avoid marines because they can be competitive, possive, and in general real ass holes. But I only think it's that way because of the training they have. I know that sometimes they will get into a hive mind and try to control each other's lives. I had a friend who was in the army and her husband who was a marine, and what ended up happening was that her husbands group was trying to get him to get rid of her cause she was "crazy" n stuff. They would get him to go out drinking with them and generally keep him away from her and tell her to butt out. She don't take shit though, and put a stop to that real quick.

    Anyways, I do think it's kinda normal, but don't let it discourage you. Just keep on trying eventually you will find someone. If all else fails, then go to Alaska, I think there is a woman just for you here! She has that same problem, even though she's not a marine! XD

    I'm sure that while the muscles are attractive, they might also be frightening to women whom you approach in a secluded area. Seeing your physique tells them they'd have no chance in a fight with you. Sadly, I'm not sure what you could do about that. Maybe just approach women in well-lit, populated areas and don't suggest a one-on-one date first thing. Might raise suspicion.

    ha ive never been told i look like a rapist...and im def not black lol. Im actually a part time model, not saying that really means anything, but i pretty sure thats not the case. however, i do believe the lack of smiling could be part of the reason, People think im mad/upset all the time when im totally not. i dont wear my uniform except when i have to so i dont think that's it :/
    Are girls really shy of good looking men? i was under the impression that i just didnt seem attractive to them because i never catch anyone checking me out haha

    well you juss need to smile alot but dont over due it and try not to wear your uniform all the time they might be intimidated by that and if ur really good looking u will have to be the one to approach and talk to girls cause you could make them shy lol

    My guess is you either look like a rapist, are black, or your personality isn't very uplifting. Nothing personal dood, I'm just observing.

    Get less muscular...
