Women are ALLOWED to be intimidating. It's a double standard. Sure they might be called unattractive for being intimidating but if a man becomes intimidating these ladies will definitely think he's a rapist or murderer and he will be looked down on by society. Feminist double standard.

Some women, and women's magazines and cultural sources, seem to completely miss that what men are looking for in a woman is someone they become happier from spending time with.

CEO job? Why would that cause a man to become happier after spending time with you?

Long education? Why would that cause a man to become happier after spending time with you?

Being "intimidating"? Why would that cause a man to become happier after spending time with you?

Having a perfectly manicured house? Why would that cause a man to become happier after spending time with you?

Obviously, it's possible that these things can translate into behaviors and situations that make people happy. Having plenty of money, and spending it in a way that makes him happy, can help, but only goes so far, just like a man with money can never buy respect and love. Being knowledgeable, and using it in a way that doesn't come across like an unpleasant asshole, can contribute to a happy man. But these are small aids at best. Other than good looks, what makes men happy are kindness, sweetness, care, decency, reason, initiative, openness, qualities that have little to do with money or education.

Being intimidating may cause men to avoid offending you. The easy route to that is to open carry a gun maybe. Doesn't mean they like you or like spending time with you.

intimidating? ... or insufferable

Unfortunately being a whiney cunt is not the same as being intimidating. As someone who tries to avoid being intimidating (so much as an annoyed look sometimes scares people) I can honestly say intimidation is something you don't try at, you just get to a point where it happens through normal behavior.

I think it's partly because men never look at a woman as intimidating. Let's put it in perspective. If you're an average guy you know that only half of the male population could beat your ass in a fight and maybe 1% of the female population. For an average woman it's the opposite, half the female population in addition to 99% of men would win in a fight. So in their mindset it benefits them to try and look tough, even though we know they're not.

It's kind of like when children create make-believe situations.

In all fairness, I think she is right: being intimidating is really good.

Women are allowed and encouraged to invade mens personal spaces. If a man gets in someones face, they do it knowing they risk getting the shit beat out of them for it.

But women regularly get in mens faces when angry and expect to face no consequences as a result.

My s was the furthest thing from intimidating and, yet, somehow managed to be generous and kind to her during our breakup. Women think they need to wear shit-kicker boots to get respect. No, you just need to be a sweet and kind person.

It's just our society has done a 180 from where we need to be. You cannot even tell a woman in town to have a nice day or even that she looks cute. Because if you do you're automatically labeled as something that you're not. Because women think just because a man's being nice to them now that we want something from them. I was walking in the store the other day and helped the door for a woman and her child. The woman actually looked at her little girl and told her you don't need a man to be happy. So she yanked her little girl and they both stopped and waited for me to close the door before she turned around and opened it for herself and her daughter. We must stop this behavior because it's only going to intimidate girls that are growing up to be against men more.
