if she acts way more maturely than I do (you know how some people just come off as "older", even though they aren't necessarily that much older) I find it much harder to exude confidence and or pursue something intimate with her.
Something I need to work on, IMO. No real idea why it happens. Just feels like i patronize myself by being around them.
I guess because I'm still young (19) and childish I see older behavior as more authoritative and thus pull back.

I don't think it's an age thing. There are 30 year olds out there that are still intimidated.

Or 40 years old like me. I'm not intimidated by women, I'm intimidated by the mistakes I know I'm gonna make and will end in another failed game.

The best succes stories start with failure. Don't give up.

Thank you for your kind words ! Giving up isn't something I do easily anyway. :)

I reckon it's just biological hard-coding. Respect your elders sorta thing. Gotta work out of it.

No because I know my value and theirs.
I know if they're overstepping and trying to use shaming for their agenda. I find it amusing.

Same man. I'm 19, I used to be intimated by this hot ass 30 year old who works with me. I could tell she was into me. Decided just to walk up to her and say hi, and proceed with whatever the fuck I want. She thought I was older. I snap her every now and then. We got a decent thing going.

If the woman is very beautiful and seems to know what she wants. She is very serious etc. I am also surprised at night game when a girl is not having fun and you cannot make her smile a little. Attraction stops and sometimes I eject because she kills the fun in me.

I can imagine someone being in a corner would give you 0 incentive to strike up a conversation.

Sure, it happens from time to time. Usually older, highly beautiful women who shit-test me hard, I'll freeze up and fuck up.
A big one used to be when very sexually confident women come on to me strong. I'd second guess their interest and misinterpret it.
Or when a girl was just stunningly beautiful. Like perfect for me. However, I learned that this attraction was actually "pull" energy and I now approach with extreme confidence. If you find a girl looking perfect (read: different than "hot"), approach her and I can almost guarantee you it will go perfectly.

Shame he didn't, sounded fascinating.

That's great, and kind of the mindset I want to achieve. Good job

I'm intimidated by any woman I am very strongly attracted to. Granted it doesn't happen often but it can be initially overwhelming. Its the brain stem giving me electrical discharges to my rational brain I can't deal with.
Thats why you have no problem talking to average looking female friends but freeze up when a girl you think is uber-hot is around you. Fight/flight, and it makes you want to flight.

I used to be. It was due to the usual, she's out of my league" thing.
[–]JLSAAAA 1 point2 points3 points 8 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
And how do you approach a woman who you thought was out of your league now?
[–]LimitedContributor 1 point2 points3 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Its only as intimidating as you make it and leaves you with mind blowing results after putting in the effort.
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Only knew that make me stop and see just how pretty they are naturally. Happens rarely but when it does I get that feeling.
I've been intimidated by women personally because of financial status. I've met women who work for some FOrtune 500 companies and have done way more cool shit than I have as far as traveling and specific activities... and thought "i'm not in her bracket" ..
and I was right in many of those case.. When a woman has status and value beyond just looks.. She is not going for an average joe. Unless there is something wrong with her.
Admittedly I have bullshitted some higher value women to sleep with them. (edit: actually only 2 rather than "some") .. by dropping names of some peeps with money and talking about things ive done with them/acting like i knew them. or mentioning celebs ive seen at upscale parties. It helps when you've actually been to some upscale parties like myself though and been around the vibe to be able to fake it.

Every woman, everywhere, every time. Duh
[–]JLSAAAA 0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Thank you for your answers guys, guess my friends are right lol.
This suggests you're admittedly doing something that would make someone want to beat you, so you'd rather try it with someone who's beating you could take lol.
