Why are (most) men intimidated by attractive women?

Women don't usually get intimidated by an attractive man, they get a crush and it makes them excited no matter their confidence level. For me personally, I'm not overly confident and I've actually be labelled as "shy" my entire life but when I see a hot guy, it makes me smile and I compliment him in my mind lol it kind of makes my day a little nicer. I know that hot guy probably didn't even notice me, he's probably got an equally hot girlfriend and he's out of my league anyway and knowing that, I wouldn't feel intimidated. So saying men are intimidated because she's out of their league or fearing rejection doesn't seem to be all there is to it because it doesn't seem to apply when the roles are reversed in my opinion.

From what I gather, they feel that they do all the work approaching women and if she is attractive then his chance of rejection is higher.

@SW-User very logical. When you see a guy who you think is out of your league do you get anxious and fear him or do you admire that he's attractive and it doesn't get you down?

@SweetFantasy I don't get intimidated easily, no matter how attractive he is. :)

@SW-User Exactly, our mind stays positive we get butterflies and smile or whatever but I've heard of and know of men who instantly get afraid and sad just because the woman is attractive
