I've never intimidated a man worth taking to.

Sincerely, an intimidating woman.

This also always bothered me. Like, if you are "intimidated" by a confident woman who knows what she wants in life, then you are one weak ass motherfucker. Sorry not sorry lol

Thank you so much! I was told this by some classmates back in college just because I wasn't afraid to start a discussion and voice my opinion. Apparently some guys in my class thought I was pretty but "too outspoken" and it really hurt my feelings. I enjoy a good debate and I will not dumb down to satisfy some silly boy's insecurities.

Thank you! I hear this and I used to feel so embarrassed. Not in a long time! Gooood!

Thank you for this. I have a friend who tells me all the time how I intimidate men and how this is not helping me find a boyfriend. She went as far as to tell me that her boyfriend and her spoke about how I am and he said that he’d be scared to try to get with me because he feel like I would judge him and think less of him if he plays nice and I would think he’s an asshole if he comes strong.

It really worried me for a while but then again I’ve had men be interested in me and pursue me so clearly the ones with the issues where them for making me feel bad about being a bad bitch.

I got a six-figure job straight out of high school (gotta love STEM y'all) and have been getting the "tHeY'rE iNtImIdAtEd bY yOu" spiel from my mother ever since.

Forgive me for not taking dating advice from the 5x divorced pick-me who can't resist an unemployed slob.

I've also heard this a lot. Looks like I'm definitely in the right place.

True, but then I keep on waiting and...keeeeeeep on waiting... it’s lonely up here. 😂
