Why are guys afraid of beautiful girls?

Question

someone told me that guys are afraid of approaching beautiful girls,and that "guys are afraid of me because i am too beautiful",i was wondering if this is true or not. i am 18, i'm 5'10" so maybe its my height. people are always telling me "you're so pretty, you're so beautiful,etc" im not trying to sound conceited i just want to give the facts. i always see guys staring at me but they never approach me. its like they are afraid of me or something? im kinda shy so maybe thats why. but i have also been told i look very confident. theres this one guy at my school, who is always staring at me whenever he sees me, i really like him but im shy and don't wanna approach him...hes popular and stuff..but like are guys really afraid of approaching beautiful girls? its really affecting me and bothering me.

Answer 1

As they get older, they are not afraid.  And trust me, you will eventually start to hate it because you will get bothered by guys hitting on you all the time.  Especially if you head out to bars or clubs.  I can't tell you how many times I have had to save girls at my bar from aggressive guys.

But when you are your age, and the guy you likes age, guys aren't afraid of pretty girls, they are afraid of ALL girls.  Chances are he doesn't know how to approach you, I went through the same thing for quite a while when I was younger.

Answer 2

I don't know really maybe their shy too?

Answer 3

Guys are aot afraid becaue of the beauty.It is the body language that is resposible for the ir reluctance.

Answer 4

self denial

guys are all over beautiful girls

people who say "guys are afraid of me because im too beautiful" just say it to make themselves feel better

its like mental therapy so they dont try to kill themselves.

its like people with obesity saying "im not fat im just big boned"

Answer 5

they feel nervous. A beautiful girl probably already has a guy or probably gets a lot of guys asking them out and they don't think they'd measure up to the guys in the past who've asked you. . .or so they think. It still happens to me too even though i have a bf now but don't worry about it.

Answer 6

We are afraid of rejection. We assume that a beautiful girl is already going with a guy. My advice about the guy you like, is to get over your shyness and make the first move. This can be a simple Hi when you see him. If he's interested, the situation will advance from there.

Answer 7

because most girls who are pretty have boyfriends or are so d**n conceited that nobody can even deal with them anyway

Answer 8

Sad, but ture. I have been told that my presence is intimidating, but im barely 5'1! I didnt understand why? Well, a male friend of mine let me in on this secret:

Usually, when a guy sees a beautfil girl, she's either taken or s****., so they avoid the situation all together. To guys, staring you down is betta than you turning them down. Don't lose hope, though. Take your time, someone without those hang-ups will come along. It is appearent that you exude confidence, and most guys can't handle a woman know who she is. All in all, take it in stride and be patient. GL

Answer 9

I completely understand.

Im 13 and 6ft tall.

I swear, im serious.

I think its also because of most pretty girls are more outgoing, therefore, they know how to say no. When confindent girls say no, they are usually like 'Oh my God, no!' Even if its in a nice way.

And then guys are scared that if they apporach a pretty, confident girl, their fear is of embarassing themselves, if they get rejected.

I know how to reject a guy in a nice way, but i guess its just our intimidating height!

Some guys at school REALLY know how to offend me - a lot of guys walk past and are like 'YOUR HUUUUUUUUUUGE!'

And im like 'Uhm. Did you state that cause you thought i didnt notice?'

And the thing is, i also have big feet. My feet are ladies size 12 (Australian sizing) so i cant get T-bar school shoes, so i have to get s**+tty black tie-up ones. *Embarassment!*

I used to be unbelievably shy, but im not so much anymore. I mean, im not WAY out there, but ive broken out of my shell a bit, now.

If you see the guy looking at you again, just smile!

I get all that 'Youre so pretty!' too, but it just doesnt sink in very well.

Just out of interest, do you ever get "YOURE SO TALL - you should get into BASKETBALL!"

or

"I think you should do some modelling! YOU'VE GOT THE HEIGHT FOR IT, THATS FOR SURE!" *nudge nudge* *chuckles*

I get it EVERY single day. Im not kidding. Wherever i go, someone will comment. I was at Cotton On a few months ago, and a lady was like 'Oh! Youre so tall! Oh my Gosh!' And i was like '...thanks?' =]

And just when i thought she would walk off, she CALLED OVER HER DAUGHTERS. And was pointing at me like  was  freak, and was like 'LOOK! SHES SO TALL! ARENT YA?!'

And i was almost gonna be like 'Look, i'd love to see life from your point of view, but i just cant seem to get my head that far up my wrinkly old @ss!"

Ok, enough about me and my height now =]

Just smile back at the guy. If youre insecure about how you look, i want you to look at yourself in a mirror every day, and find at least one good thing that you like about yourself. Dont try and look for FLAWS cause you will find a lot. Trust me. Its easier to find flaws than good things, and dont look for too long or your flaws (which are completely normal) will be more noticable to you.

Good luck!

Answer 10

It's fear of rejection compounded by fear of inadequacy. They feel like they aren't good enough to date a beautiful woman, and therefore are sure they'll be rejected. Either you can overcome your own shyness and learn to take the lead,  or wait for someone confident enough to approach you. The first method would be a lot quicker.

Answer 11

We are scared of rejection and don't want to look like a fool, since self-reputation is key to us.  Pretty girls are intimidating because we might think of them as out of our league, which might cause rejection.

Try to approach him slowly.  Say hi and be friendly.  If you can, try to start a conversation as well.  It usually takes a while for a guy to approach someone.  Us guys formulate our approaching plans too.
