Yahoo! Answers: What makes a girl intimidating?
BH: You list "he must be intimidated by my beauty and/or success" as one of the top five excuses women use to explain why men don't like them. Do successful, smart women intimidate men?
NS: I think that successful, smart women often expect to intimidate men and it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Often those women do not truly have their "Cablight" on, and they are not giving the guy enough of a break; making him do too much of the work. As a result, these women come across as intimidating when they are often shy and insecure. I saw a report about former Miss Americas and it turns out that most of them are single, perhaps for this reason. Hearing that men find you intimidating is the worst thing. It is sort of like being overqualified for a job - you still didn't get the job!
