    I'll let the guys defend their gender but the "intimidating" and "unapproachable" remarks is most often doled out to women who are competant in their career and leisure pursuits, reserved/introspective, contented in their own company and who are also afflicted with RBF 🙄

    So unless you're an extrovert, consider taking all the above and being "intimidating" as an actual compliment....just with poor word selection 😉

    "You're intimidating," he says. She thumbs the hammer back; for a moment, that click is the loudest sound in the room.

    There was a horrific show on a few years ago i think it was called the pick up artist. It was a show geared to show men how to pick up women. One technique was to give backhanded compliments to a woman to get her to engage and let her know you are interested but not gonna get all swoony.

    I remember one of them was, your hair looks really good greasy......it was a god awful show lol

    Ah yes, a show built around psychologically abusing and gaslighting women in an attempt to get in their pants. This show wouldn't have also happened to have a male co-host that dressed like he had murdered a bunch of black muppets, would it?

    “youre intimidating”

    This makes me jealous. No one will ever tell me this. :(

    I tell them I am, but they don't listen. :(

    Keep believing in yourself! They'll catch up eventually 😉

    Why no mens? Do men not receive awful compliments? Another inequality!?

    Men don't communicate with each other on any meaningful level.

    "You are kinda pretty"
    "You smell like makeup"
    "You look like a girl that hunts sharks"
    "You are thick in some of the right places"
    "You are kinda pretty"
    "You smell like makeup"
    "You look like a girl that hunts sharks"
    "You are thick in some of the right places"

    "You look like a girl that hunts sharks" is something I would have probably never thought to say, to anyone, ever

    Yeah, I’ll be using that one

    Yeah, because wouldn't be easier just to say fisherman?
