Intentionally no, but apparently I do, so say some friends. Shrugs. If they're that easily intimidated by farm work and everything that goes with it, then I think that's their problem.

Looks have a lot to do with it; height, weight, how close your eyes are together, the shape of your brow and your mouth. People and animals take ques from looks. Ever notice how some actors make really good bad guys and others don't, or how someone seems to have a very welcoming smile. Unfortunately most of these ques don't really work anymore. Note how some serial killers were thought to be very good looking and charming.

Yes...I know I do

At least till they get to know me.

Aww thanks.

Like James Cagney. His dream was dancing.

I tend to give some the willies. Most little kids adore me and have no fear at all.

Seems I'm always intimidating to other women. I'm flirt by nature & although I try to behave myself women doesn't like me around their men!! Not even to talk to them through email or IM!! I'm almost as bad as Mikey117 with my BS! But, I really don't mean anything by it & have no intentions of stepping in on another womans guy!! Go figure!!

Sometimes I do intimidate people, both intentionally and unintentionally. For example, when I am jogging in the park or in a rough part of town, my entire demeanor changes. I think it is an instinctive response to let others know not to confront you. Generally, I assume these airs in public places. I have discovered that 99% of people are not so brave the closer they get to you. At other times, I subconsciously and unintentially make individuals uneasy and tense. I have to work on it. In self-defense jargon, "don't look like a victim or an easy target."

I personally think it's more fun to intimidate INtentionally

Allegedly.....

LOL, I would have to say Melodygirl, your one of those women I would have to shoot in both legs in a dark alley then ask why your there, LOL

Do you still get that blast of shock when someone confesses down the track, that at first you intimidated the crap out of them?

I do....am so stunned...and try to understand through their eyes what they see....what they interpret....weirdness extraordinaire..

I am so clueless most of the time...just bumble around in my little world, doing my bumbly rumbly stuff...

straight shooting truths rattle a lot of chains.... I know that much...

Apparently blunt truthfulness is intimidating to some.

Also if you are not afraid to confront those bullies, that seems to be intimidating also.

I don't ever try to intimidate intentionally. But it happens.

Yeah, always seems to say more about the interpreter than the interpretation, ugh?

My inner ethos is an open door to all, esp. those in need ...

Think we are just too often misunderstood ... Somewhere in the mists of our eclectic eccentricities ...

Good for weedin' out, sowin' in, I reckon by a lifetime of it, now ...

Yes, many must be far less than honest, to be so unabashedly afeared of the simple, clean, naked truth!

It makes a person less than trustful to consider how much "untruthfulness" is encouraged in social interactions actually.

Apparently so -- I hear this on a regular basis, and it seems the whole rationale for it is that I can put words together well enough to make a few coherent sentences. That seems like setting the bar pretty low for intimidation purposes, but that's what they're telling me.

Pomp ... Pageantry Poseurs ... Professional sales ...

... The Emperor's new clothes ...

I've been persecuted for my naked honesty all my life ...

Just drives me on to find the rarely such truthful in kind ...

I think I scared some older woman the other day. I am not fond of door to door religous people...These women were at a park I was at the other day then at the end of my driveway another day. I was not happy to get a pamphlet. I unintentionally must have been giving mean looks because I didnt even get the usually speech....Now I kinda feel bad.

Me too.

Helluva lotta barbed wire, red tape, mirage and snare pits, uh???

Still, the rare gems uncovered on the slippery obstacle course?

Make the trials, travails and tribulation so much more than worthwhile, if exhausting!
