I, as a rule, do not get intimidated. It is not an emotion that I think I possess. I date a very beautiful, and very smart woman. She is a project manager at AT&T and is very good at her job. She is hard for me to keep up with but I don’t get intimidated. That’s for kids that haven’t found out yet that everyone’s mostly the same.
If I saw a beautiful, smart woman at a bar, I would probably not approach her. But it wouldn’t be because I’m intimidated, but because I’m already dating someone. And even if I wasn’t, I generally do not approach women. If there is a socially appropriate reason to talk to someone I’m interested in then I’ll take the opportunity. I do not go out of my way to manufacture one where one doesn’t already exist. I live in a city, there are plenty of perfectly good opportunities to take advantage of without having to resort to such tactics.
