Some people tell me the reason that guys don't ask me out is because they are "intimidated" by me because I am a pretty girl...I mean, I'm a nice, funny, laid back, kind of quiet person, but I've only had one boyfriend. People tell me that I'm really pretty/hot, so then why do guys not ask me out? Guys: do you really get intimidated by a girl's looks?

Unfortunately, yeah, that happens.
The ones who aren't intimidated are the ones with bigger egos ... it can mean that pretty girls get a lot of hits from trolls.
However, it is absolutely no excuse for you to go dateless ... it just means that YOU are in the driver's seat. Pick a guy you like, invite him out, etc.
My advice to you is to pick someone who is interesting, not full of himself.

Yes guys do are intimidated by a kind of girl...
Why? It happend to me so guys won't ask me out...Because They get intimidated by me...I am not mean at all.
I been told by guys the reason why they get intimifated by a woman like me.
Easy they feel less need it. And a male like to feel need it. That is just a male thing the why guys get intimidated by girls that are very independent and that nothing intimidate me or impress me. And good looks comee with the package of a girl like that so guys just won't go out with some one that can easy catch a guys eyes. Smart, wealthy, pretty, very independent girl, easy going is hard to find. Most people have issues so.

Yes, many men are intimidated by an attractive woman's looks. It all comes down to self confidence. Ever see a really hot girl going out with an average looking guy? This guy had the condifence that better looking men didn't. If you see a guy that attracts you, try innitiating some conversation and see where it leads.

At a young age I wasn't a shy guy with girls, but for some reason really beautiful girls (and quit the sugar coating your a knock out and you probably know it) would petrify me so I always went for the average ones because I felt more comfortable. Even if one approached me I be like, no way she's toooo hot. My suggestion would just try to be friends first with a guy and once he gets to know you tell him how you feel. Make up some B.S. story about how you need some help on whatever and if he could help you. However with age guys out grow it.

YES! They get intimidated!
Rejection is a hell-ova thing that some guys just can't get over enough to ask a girl they really like out! So a lot of guys may summon up enough courage to tell you that you're "Pretty/Great/Etc." but won't go farther than that, because they don't want you to treat them like a disease for asking you out.
What you need to do, is to (whatever guy you actually like) try to make him feel more at ease about asking you out by confirming to him that you like him. You don't have to out right say "Hey, I'd like to be your girlfriend! Can you ask me out now?" But simple things like; "I like hanging out with you a lot."/"You're a really great guy, I'm glad we get to spend time together." Eventually he'll get the hint that you like him, and this will give him the green light to ask you out.

You always heard that the really pretty girls were never asked out because they intimidated the guys. So being the idiot that I was I asked the pretty girl out to the dance. She laughed and said no. At the dance she ended up going with her grandfather since no one else asked her out. Your problem has several sides to it and I will not step into that quagmire again.

Yea, if a guy who thinks that he don't look as good as the person he's wants to ask out he could feel intimidated or have fear of rejection. But make it known to people that your not someone to break hearts so quickly.

I used to get intimidated by beautiful women when I was younger & dumber... not so much anymore. They're people just like everyone else - if anything, most of the beautiful women I've met are a little insecure in their looks & shy.
The guys who are afraid to ask you out just haven't figured it out yet.

Yes,my friend,some guys can be intimidated by beauty.
Guys see a beautiful Woman and we think....."Don't even try.I'm just a common,everyday guy.Why would she go out with me?"
Also,most guys just assume that a drop-dead gorgeous Woman ALREADY has a boyfriend,so what's the point.
Now.....if he sees a beautiful Woman that's also really intelligent.....that's MAJOR intimidation!!!!!

If you are pretty, and quiet, that's a double whammy! Unfortunately, it implies that you are a biatch, just because you're shy. (sorry, Yahoo Answer's won't let you cus) But it's not you! Guys are very shy creatures, and if you're not very talkative, it's hard for them to have an in anywhere. I suspect you're probably a very independent girl, which makes it even more harder for guys to have the courage to talk to you. They are afraid of rejection, probably more than girls.
