    Very. I am a weapon. Yeah, at 5'9", I think I'm pretty darn intimidating.

    Really, I scare people. Only children see through the facade. :flowerforyou:

    Career wise, I am intimidating. I have to be. And apparently, I'm intimidating outside of my career, though it's not intentional.

    I love MFP because I can act the way I want to, as a playful, self effacing and fun dork.

    do you make alll the monies?

    Money?! That's what I was doing wrong!

    I've been told that I am a real hard-*kitten* and abrasive by people who don't know me. Those that do, call me a teddy bear.

    I've been told I look mean and intimidating, and I can be if there is more stupid in you than common sense. Otherwise, I'm as gentle and as loving as a hurricane married to a tornado giving birth to an earthquake....or a kitten. Pretty much the same thing, really.

    funny this came up last night.

    I distinctly remember 3 different times in my life where someone has said "well maybe you are intimidating that person" or " you are pretty intimidating you know".

    each time this has shocked me. The first time I believe I responded by saying "what?! how do i initimiate - do they think i'm going to sit on them?" (rude i know but i was in shock).

    the second time it happened another person walked into the room while we were discussing my "initimidating nature" and i turned to him and said "am i intimidating?" in a way that as soon as I heard it I knew the answer.

    honesty, i wish i felt as initimidating as i am perceived to be.

    People were terrified of my tiny *kitten* in high school. Don't know why, never really got in fights at school. But someone said something one day, rumors took off. People bought it. I reveled in it. In real life though, I have attacks of conscious if I have to kill a bug for my kids, no joke.

    Very when it comes to certain things. I'm very self-opinionated and sometimes irrational, dead set in my ways.

    I've been told I look very intimidating. When my Sister and I were in High School, her friends used to ask her why I look so pist off all the time. I'm not, I'm just quiet and don't walk around with a smile on my face for no reason.

    I don't feel that I'm intimidating at all, but I have heard people say that I'm not that approachable. Sometimes I do look like I'm pissed off, but that's just my natural look. Lol

    I'm 64 years old and I'm the cuddly earth-mother farm-wife type. I couldn't be intimidating unless I was holding a shotgun, and maybe not then. Not where people are concerned. On the other hand I can easily dominate a half-ton of muscle and explosive power ( I've had a few "come-to-jesus meetings"with reluctant equines, which invariably end with them seeing it my way.) With the dogs I'm unquestioned alpha b---h..

    In your profile pic, I can easily envision you thinking of the best way to throttle the person you're looking at. :laugh:

    I sound like I'm 12. Even my dogs aren't intimidated by me.

    Read something last week about women intimidiating a member on here.. and it got me to thinking. I wonder if I intimidate people?

    So do you think you do?


    Myself, unless I'm at work I think I'm about as intimidating as a hampster.

    At work B*tch mode is activated(B*tch mode, I'm probably as intimidating as a cocker spaniel).

    I was going to say something similar but say kitten instead of hampster.

    In high school I guess I was sort of intimidating... I was really quiet and people would say it's always the quiet ones, or they'd make some "Carrie" reference. Now though... not so much. :tongue:

    I can be if I'm in the right mood....but generally not so much.

    No one is more intimidating than Fezik.

    my natural demeanor is to be a smartass so i dont think i can come across as intimidating though i have been told i am a large guy (not just weight wise) but i guess i am tall 6' and i have wide shoulders.

    people do say i can be unapproachable but thats mostly cause i sit around the bar naked while doing the five knuckle shuffle

    I am naturally intimidating. Being big and black does it alone, but once you add a high level of education to it, it's like the nail in the coffin. I often find myself having to lower myself to other's levels in order for them to feel less intimidated. To my friends, however, I'm one of the nicest, funniest, loyal, and trustworthy dudes they know.

    ^^^ This is definitely my level of intimidation. Unless someone actually got the hamster to the point of biting. Apparently I can be a little nervous-making to a few of the younger kids at work. STRANGE! I certainly don't feel intimidating, just opinionated.

    :noway: I don't think I am, but I've been told for as long as I can remember that I have an intimidating demeanor about myself. I think it's just insecurity though.

    My fiancé tells me when he goes out all the old ladies grab their purses when he is near them in the shops because they think he's going to attack them lol.

    Not at all. Kittens have more scaring power than me.

    Those things have claws and huge teeth. That **** gets intimidating.

    As for myself, I don't think I am most times because I'm super friendly to most people. But, even though I'm typically nice, there are those people who push me until I go off on them and then I can become quite intimidating, despite being only 5'3.

    Only time I am intimidiating is when someone is messing with what belongs to me. This includes DH, family, friends and my home.

    I am told I am but I don't do it on purpose. I have a crazy sense of humor and just love seeing the reactions of others.
