Do you intimidate men?

While some of us face great battles against shyness, others seem to shine naturally without any effort. These women have a strong personality and incredible decision making, but sometimes it seems to us that they end up having trouble maintaining lasting relationships.

But why does this happen? Men are created (yes, even today) to run their lives. They are historically accustomed to occupying very important leadership positions and positions in society. It is masculine in nature to believe that only men are able to provide for the needs of a home and even organizations, whether public or private. Since, in the modern world, women have taken up prominent positions and positions, men tend to be intimidated by very "advanced" female specimens.

But not everything is lost. There are ways we can maintain our dignity and feminine achievements without, however, losing contact with our partners (or future partners).


Very beautiful women

One of the most intimidating categories for men is that of very beautiful women. Of course, beauty is a desirable factor, but if the woman is physically very attractive, men tend to feel a little 'shaky'. According to a study by psychologists at Radbound University in the Netherlands in 2010 and published in the Experimental Journal of Social Psychology, it came to the conclusion that men, in fact, are intimidated by very beautiful women.

If this is your case, there is not much you can do about it. Try to demonstrate that, despite being much in demand, you are looking for a serious relationship that is not based solely on physical characteristics. Be open to meeting new people when an interesting man seems intimidated around you.

Very smart women

Intelligence is aphrodisiac, they say, but it can also get in the way when you meet someone new. Intelligent women represent a universe to be discovered by male instinct. Most men want a mate with whom to talk about a variety of topics, but if they find that they do not follow female reasoning, men tend to move away. This is because man fears he cannot keep up a dialogue.


In order not to lose the cat just because it has less knowledge than you, try to keep your in-depth remarks for another occasion. Don't be displaying your mastery over very complex subjects; This attitude, in addition to alienating men, may even seem overbearing.

Very independent women

Man, as has been said, is a naturally protective being. He wants to be able to meet his partner's needs. A completely independent woman is a challenge for them, but after a while they can become too difficult to deal with because of their strong and challenging personality that is usually not influenced by the opinions of others (including his).

If this is your case, you should control your impulses. Often when trying to demonstrate your independence, you may sound rude or even nervous. This is the kind of attitude that keeps men away. So as not to let this behavior disrupt your relationships, be less emphatic about your independence? Sometimes it is worth letting the cat help you change a tire, even if you know how to do it yourself.

Understand that modeling behaviors is not the same as nullifying oneself. In any case, be sure who you are just to attract men. The ideal guy is the one who accepts you and loves you as he met you.
