Do Big Guys Intimidate Girls?

The chicks love me cause I’m not to big but cut in the right places and hung like a meat locker. So stop crying and start packing da meat to them.

It’s a lot easier for a big man with muscle to get women than it is for a big woman with muscle to get men.

I think that girls have a tendency to be affraid that big (bodybuilder types) guys are dangerous in the sense that they look violent. Why have all the muscle if not for beating people up? That’s just how they think sometimes. Or they think that muscle heads are stupid. Both untrue of course. BUT!!! On the other hand, if a girl gets the opportunity to know a guy of the caliber of big, she most likely will find a sense of security and comfort. Big guys intimidate other men more than women.

That’s how I see it at least lol.

I agree with you. Women probably think that huge dudes don’t do anything but lift all day. They don’t understand how much work and dedication actually goes into it, which could be very attractive IMO. That’s why I think girls who workout are fucking HAWT.

I agree with both of you guys. It all depends on the girl. I have friends that are chicks that had different reactions when they first met me(which you guys listed). Some thought I was crazy trying to get big (heh, ya, I’m not as big as most of you here). Others thought it was cool, because they never knew someone who lifted weights, PERIOD.

A chick found me on AsianAve.com. she messaged me and thought I was “cute”. She ranted for about 5 minutes about how she thought I was a stupid muscle head and thought I looked at myself 24/7 in the mirror, just because I posted a picture of myself topless, and I told her I loved lifting weights. As she was telling me this, I asked her, you wouldn’t have messaged me if there was no picture in the first place right? She was like, no I thought you looked like a nice genuine guy. Then I asked her, since you live like 45min away from me, why don’t I come over and we can fuck". She blocked me on MSN, that was what I was hoping.

My ex, never wanted me to get big in the first place, and told me I had Bigorexia.[/quote]

Bigorexia! Quality statement. May I borrow that or is it patented? LMAO!

There’s nothing copyrighted on the forums Sarge unless otherwise noted. Bigorexia’s all yours!!

Women do have to decide if a man is a physical threat (bad), a sexual threat (good) or a wimp. But none of those 3 have to do with size, it’s all attitude.

If you smile and act friendly when approaching a woman you will put her at ease. But later you don’t have to be all smiley and begging for acceptance once she starts talking. But you don’t want to look crazy, and you (and anyone of any size or sex) needs to express anger appropriately. i.e. don’t yell or throw things. Hell even little people should not yell or throw things, it’s not exactly a way to solve problems.

Size isn’t intimidating on it’s own, small guys can intimidate a woman too when they are angry.

It’s the different feeling a woman gets between “this big guy can protect me” vs “this guy might hurt me if he gets mad”. You just need to project an attitude that you’re more of a protector type than a wifebeater. :slight_smile: This is actually the typical “hero” of romance novels that women gobble up. A tough assertive man who doesn’t try to win over anyone is just himself, that is scary to any man who crosses him yet projects an air of safety to women and children. (yes someone actually studied that and wrote it down)

One kid I knew in college who was a big bastard, and bodybuilder big, not just massive. Told me once that throughout his 4 years of college (he was a senior) that the absolute most attention he got from girls was when he was 6’ 220lbs. He said he was big but not huge and had a great six pack.

Then as he continued to chase his bodybuilding goals, the attention from women went down, when he was telling me the story he was off season at around 275. He did have a hot girlfriend, but he said the majority of the girls he encountered would not approach him like they used to in the past. My .02

Good point. Although I myself find it hot…some men might be turned off by it.

Women are more attracted to bigger dudes IMO.

However, it’s a double edged sword. I’ve had some NASTY fatties try to get with me, and that was never an issue when I was smaller lol.

Wider than King Coleman. Man, those kids are funny to look at. They do a couple pulldowns, some pull-ups and maybe some sort of rowing movement and call it good. Pull-ups are claimed to be better than Jesus when it comes to building width but very few of those midgets have little to no width to them. They merely stick out their arms.

On subject: any real trainer isn’t approachable when he/she is training. Warren has gone on record and said that he doesn’t like the feel of Gold’s because there was always someone interrupting his training to talk. I could see how some might find that intimidating. When I walk through those doors, the Ipod is turned on, I throw on my belt, and I’m all business.

I’m not a douchebag, I will always ask if your done with the piece of equipment, but don’t expect me to have a smile on my face after my last set with 225 on the front squat. Don’t expect me to spark conversation about current events. It seems most people that go to the gym nowadays are looking to score some ass or hangout with their peeps. Thats fine and dandy just get the fuck out my way when I’m there.

hah nope that’s toney freeman, there are plenty of my pics floating around this site though.

I think athletic girls appreciate/understand muscle a lot more.
Gymnasts are some of the hottest girls and they usually appreciate muscle.

page 3 and only 1 girl has weighed in on the topic.

i’m 1’ taller and weigh more then twice what my girl does and she doesn’t seem to be intimidated. she feels safe around me. between that and my huge…brain. very safe

OP: Do this mental exercise.

Close your eyes and imagine you are a 135 pound man in the army, prison, old school gym, or some other all-male environment.

Strongly visualize the all-male barracks, the all-male fitness facility, bathrooms, everything.

In this setting you are surrounded by dozens of 250-300 pound strongman competitors – all of whom are homosexual and find you attractive. They all have varying degrees of being forward or even aggressive with their attempts at gaining your attention and getting you to be receptive to their affection.

Most of them are “nice guys” who recognize that you don’t return their interest and are kinda cool to hang out with – although they sometimes snap and get pissed off that you don’t love them back.

Some of them are downright aggressive and cat-call when you walk by, follow you, and try high-pressure sales-like tactics to get you to go on a date with them.

How safe do you feel right now?

This is about the closest I can get to understanding what it would be like to be a woman.

(EDIT)

So… just like women with men, you would probably want to take a serious amount of time when hanging out with any of these guys to make sure they’re a “safe” guy who isn’t gonna take the first opportunity he gets to catch you alone, slip some rohypnol in your drink, and go to town on your asshole while you’re passed out – or just feel you up uninvited or beat the shit out of you and rape you while you’re fully conscious.

This is the kinda shit we men conveniently forget that women have to consider.

So no shit most women are going to be intimidated by big, powerful men, with the appropriate amount of time to “feel out” whether he’s an upstanding guy or a twitchy, misogynistic rapist.

Once again, evolutionary psych explains everything.

(/EDIT)

LOLOLOL awesome visualization^^^

Well from what I see happening with some friends. It does intimidate some yet most girls can’t resist an alpha like male. @ heart we still have them primal instincts and trigger sthat go off.

Like elephants for instance. The younger smaller male elephants will try to get a hit on some of the gals. Then once the big alpha bull of the herd notices he handles his business by doing some intimidating elephant stomps and what not and then he’ll get a hit just to let em know size/power/intimidation does matter.

I don’t think that is how the average female works at all unless she is surrounded by guys she isn’t attracted to at all. Women in general seem to love guys who may not be the best for them. That isn’t ALL women, but the bad boy image works for a reason.

With that said, I agree with waylander, women seem to like the big guys because I hear them talking…assuming you don’t look like ass and carry yourself well. They also may be a little intimidated if you don’t smile quickly to put them at ease. I have heard I am intimidating…mostly because I don’t smile much when just walking around. I feel like a jackass just smiling for no reason.

The downside is yes, you do get some true fat girls who seem to think “oooh, big guy plus big girl equals LUUUUV”.

Shouldn’t you be mopping up some corner of the website for me?

I don’t pay “the help” for them to stand around cracking jokes.
