    Yeah everyone says that to me, even though I’d share my umbrella with you

    I'm not intimidated on here by anyone... But then again, I'm 47 years old and this is a fricking fitness site. What are y'all gonna do, hold me down and force feed me kale chips?

    I am intrigued and impressed by a *kitten* ton of MFPers, however. I rarely send requests because I tend to be a bit shy and don't want to bother anyone.

    I’ve been intimidated by a number of people here. No point naming them because every last one of them has become a friend and have all proven to be genuine good-hearted people.

    I think the vast majority of people are if given the chance

    There's a mob mentality that presents itself in here every now and then that is rather intimidating. It's a few nice individuals that occasionally get together to form an A-hole Voltron.

    I think as long as you realize most are just trying to be funny through sarcasm, anyone will fit right in.

    I think some people have intimidating looks. But aren’t intimidating as people. Except @_Deadman_Walking_ he used to intimidate the hell of me. Then I got to know him and learned you shouldn’t let people make you feel that way.

    Im afraid there is absolutely nothing intimidating about me @CoffeeAndContour ...Irritating, yes. Intimidating, no.

    This is not a true statement my friend.

    In person I try to be intimidating sometimes. I don't look or sound intimidating so I try to be "dominant".

    I'll try to stare people in the eyes and not break eye contact or shift my eyes whatsoever (if you do you lose!).

    My 'secret weapon' is that I'll take my glasses off so I can't actually see totally clearly and just focus my wild eyed, unfocused, giant pupil gaze on people.

    I'ts a challenge for me because I blink a lot.

    It's funny how many people shift their eyes, it's one of my 'games', probably does nothing for my likeability!

    I adore your honesty!!

    was this supposed to be funny because I'm peeing myself with laughter!

    Oh it's hilarious...and I do do it sometimes, it's a game (I play by myself).

    I did it to some client a few weeks ago who was being an *kitten*...she kept shifting her eyes and asked me in a pissed off tone "what"?

    I couldn't tell her I was dominating her like she was a dog, and she was losing, but I wanted to.

    I open my mouth (or type) and my thoughts spew out. Who thinks before they speak anyways...self censoring sucks!
