Can some woman really be all that intimidating to men?

This puzzles me, as I have no clue who/what I am myself. But we might be meaning different things on this one.

I have done much and been through tremendous amounts in my life already...and yes...I do believe it does cause him to think that he might not be on the same level as me.

He hasn't experienced all I have.....and perhaps that in itself is intimidating

Funny, I like confident women.

Anywho, it's not you perse, it's him. I'd bet that he is terrified that because you have done it all, and he hasn't, that you'll get bored of him. If you like him, maybe you should reassure him. If you don't like that sort of thing, or you don't think it's worth it, tell him you agree that it's probably best you remain as friends. No fuss, no muss.

Just an update...I asked him flat out.....what he was feeling. He said Fear....I said fear of what? He said he's not sure...not fear of me...but an emotion he can't explain.

I asked fear of not being "up to standard"...."me leaving you"......

I haven't heard back yet...

I think all guys have a fear whether its....a girl taking his money....cheating....depending on his own individual basis. But, this one...I think a fear of not being able to be up to standards....
