My boyfriend recently told me that I was "so beautiful it scared him..." because I could have "any guy I wanted". I was so upset! Could my relentless and exhausting pursuit of physical perfection actually be alienating the men I was trying to attract with it in the first place?
This is not me being conceited, or trying to draw attention to myself. I just found it to be a very strange statement, since he is a very handsome guy and I don't consider myself to be especially outstanding or anything.
So to repeat myself,
Men: are you intimidated by beautiful women? and why?

Yes. Same reason as your boyfriend. You need to reassure him constantly. Don't let a day go by you don't reassure him. We're all secretly self conscious cowards, constantly needing beat over the head with reminders that you love us otherwise we'll think you don't.
Another reason is that beautiful women oftentimes know they're beautiful, and as a result think they don't have to be sweet or loving, and that a guy will do anything for you because you're beautiful. This is true to a point, but you'll both wind up empty and unfulfilled. You don't seem like this kind of person since you're taking the time to ask the question... that's a plus for you if you're sincere. :)

Your 14-year-old responder doesn't have a clue. For starters, most men are not intimidated by beautiful, smart women (quite to the contrary; most men find a good-looking woman that has a brain VERY attractive). Secondly, most men would rather approach an average-looking woman because the majority of the "hotties" are either (a) very shallow, (b) very conceited, or (c) both. We would rather have "real" women who don't think they're all that and are only interested in looks and money. Third, guys DO NOT find the good girls boring. While it's true that there are a lot of guys out there that are just playing the field, most guys in their heart of hearts are looking for a woman they can take home to Mom. Finally, MEN are after relationships -- players and broke-d!ck-dog little boys are after one-night stands.

to guys a woman that is exceptionaly good looking, it does intimidate us because we think to our selves the they can have anyone they want so why would they waste there time with me. And usualy there is a group of guys trying to talk to her and that makes it 10x worse

A little. It doesn't stop me from talking to them or even asking them out. I think all guys are a little intimidated by them even if they won't admit it.

Well, most "good" guys are... they have alot of trouble approaching beautiful women.... type of guys that are not intimidated usually are not the best of men...
I was lucky enough that my fiancee approached me :p

my husband told me this too, i was the one who had to approach him. i thought he was shy...he's really not. in fact he is quite outgoing, but he said that he didn't know how to act around me so he just clammed up. funny thing was i had a really big crush on him for years before i approached him.
men are so cute.

men who are intimidated by beautiful women are insecure and don't believe in themselves. when they build up their self-esteem and it is hard to do, they overcome the fear of beautiful women. simple to say, hard to do

LOL on the "so beautiful it scared him" line. Nope. No people intimidate me much less women.
