Too attractive?

Question

Is there such a thing as being too handsome or too pretty? I read an article of a woman who was considered very attractive but was never asked out on dates, or approached on the street becuase of intimidating beauty? Is this really going on?

Answer 1

I consider myself to be a fairly attractive single woman, but I find it very easy to get dates. After reading a similar article about a year ago, I had to wonder how approachable this "very attractive" woman was. Beauty is not a curse, it is a gift, and if you see yourself as more than an exterior creature, something glows from inside -- it calls to out to people.

But I have seen drop-dead model-gorgeous women who have that "I'm too sexy for my shirt" look. They are the ones who don't smile, make eye contact or reach out to other people, they are too stuck on themselves, too narcissistic. This is where I feel "intimidating beauty" comes from.

I will admit though, that men have trouble feeling secure with me in the long run, as they begin to notice all the attention/looks I get from other men. They weigh themselves up against the "competition" over and over (men being competitive by nature) And more times than not, their insecurity takes over and they pull away. This is why I am often without a date, because few can handle being with someone who draws a certain amount of attention.

The Sheryl Crow song, "Strong Enough to Be My Man," is the question that every date leaves me wondering, and only time will answer. Whether approaching or staying with an attractive woman, confidence is key. Do not waste greivous hours on the "I'm not good enough for you" and "you can have anyone you want" routine.

Intimidating beauties who cannot get a date ... it's funny they don't have that problem in Hollywood.

Boyfriend cant shop himself off me ;] and he's especially ****** relatively spiced so identity say conserving a good-looking guy for 3 years at an identical time as a solid quantity of his friends had to **** me (till now i chum zoned all of them into no desire and no probability of direction) is a solid sign im on the gorgeous section, additionally i've got been just about no make up ever, i rock that organic look and shrink my very own hair and bangs x]

Answer 5

I think that is a possibility. Especially if that woman exudes a lot of confidence. As it stands now, when we date we often look for people in our "class" so to speak. I mean people that are attainable. Jermaine Dupri and Janet Jackson is just an anomaly. Janet is just too fine.

Women that are very attractive and confident take a lot of confidence to approach.

Answer 6

Yes, I find it true. Some may feel intimidated with one's beauty or how handsome a person is.

Answer 7

Yes there is!! Sometimes when people come across others who are "too attractive" they feel somewhat intimidated. Maybe its an issue where the person is conceited or sometimes when we notice very attractive people, we automatically assume they are already taken.

Answer 8

At the last school I went to, I knew a couple girls that were sooo pretty that I was afraid to approach them...although eventually I noticed there were those who did, so that encouraged me.

Answer 9

No, not at all. It depends on you. Everybody has different criteria about beauty. If you think that somebody is too attractive, this means you underestimate yourself. After all, nobody's perfect and everybody has something about him/her that would like to change if possible.

Answer 10

Yes. If you are too attractive, ppl get shy and are unsure of how to ask you out and more than likely they never would be.
