Absolutely.
While I think that can happen between heterosexual persons of the same sex, I think you see it happen more often between people of the opposite sex, or when there's a physical/sexual attraction. This may be especially true when it's a male intimated by a beautiful female, and it is not at all unusual to learn that a particularly attractive girl isn't asked out much, and that boys will often not ask out a particularly attractive girl because they feel like she's "too attractive" for them -- that she wouldn't go out with them because of it. I think that, in general, you're going to find that kind of thing much more frequently with a younger crowd, because as we get older our self-confidence (hopefully!) improves.

Yes it can be. It is more important to people to be liked by a beautiful person than a less attractive person. Everyone wants to be accepted. They feel better if they are accepted and liked by a beautiful person, so more importance gets put on the interactions with that person than if the person is less or unattractive. This is not true in all cases, but in a lot of them.

Yes. Beauty is something that one's imagination covets and when the consciousness actually believes it sees that imagination, it is close to the Being of God. Not to say a more than personally recognized Being, but overwhelming possibly the same. Why? Consider it a manifestation of the balance of emotion of life and reason in moment within a person.

I’ve shied away from the gorgeous girls because I think maybe from their view point I wouldn’t have measured to how they view their own sightlines. I’ve noticed people who carry a certain sightlines can be intimidated to those who don’t have those qualities just as someone who might be wealthy may notice an indirect separateness from themselves with those of low income. People begin to reflect on themselves and I think people start to sow a doubt from there. I could be wrong.

You bet it can! Intimidation, from whatever source, stems from a person's own insecurity and/or perceived lack of power against that source.
The feeling of being intimidated is a low-level form of the body's primal fight-or-flight response and the brain chemistry associated with it is similar.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...what I call beauty may not be what you call beauty. A person that is truely beautiful is beautiful on the inside and out ...Now that is intimidating. If it is only skin deep then it is really pitiful.

Beauty can be intimidating because there are more ordinary and ugly people out there than beautiful people.
It's like intelligence is far more intimidating than anything, cause there are fewer really intelligent people than the norm and the beautiful.

Yes. If a woman is beautiful, many guys will just assume she has someone or they don't want to take the chance of getting turned down.

Yes. think about it I know at least from my personal exprience when seeing someone very good looking i step back and think "oh wow they're sooo pretty" and back away from them like it hurts to even look at them.I worked in a resturant once and people would compliment the girls and their faces were just always in awe.

Yes, there are many insecure men who cannot get past this insecurity to talk with a beautiful woman. In those cases, these men feel as though they aren't worthy.
