I had a discussion with a girl cousin yesterday and she said that guys find tall, smart women intimidating. Would you say this is a fair statement?

I don't think you can make a list of specific attributes that are intimidating to all guys in general.
what intimidates me might be completely different from what intimidates some other guy.
tall, smart women do not intimidate me in the least, in fact, in most circumstances, I was drawn to that.

I went out with a girl several years ago she wasn't tall but she was 5'9", and very very smart, beautiful and athletic, on the date i had made the comment that she was a bit intimidating, and i really didn't mean it, i was paying her a screwed up compliment in a way lol, well on our next date she dressed down quite a bit and asked me if i was still intimidated lol .. There was no explanation at that point that i could give her so i just let it ride but i havent made that mistake since. I have not been intimidated by a ladys beauty, i might get in a trance but that is about it, as far as being smart, I loved it, I was like the kid asking a thousand ?s, i guess like makarizo said it is an individual thing, but if you know of any ladys looking for a guy that will ask a thousand questions send her my way...

in my opinion, women can be intimidating but for me it's not their height or the money they make or how much they know...it's their personality. to me, women who are dominating in the relationship are intimidating. size and wealth and education does not intimidate me. HOWEVER, for some men, size, wealth, and education are intimidating.
it varies from person to person.

Yes, women can be intimidating. I have met some women where the strangest thing happened. I couldn't really even look at them because I felt like I would be staring because she was so pretty. Also, if a girl/woman constantly as tons of people around her, it's rather difficult to get even a moment by yourselves to try to show your character and get to know her. I'm not saying it's her fault that people gravitate toward her but it is true nonetheless that it can be intimidating especially when you felt at least somewhat like the outcast growing up.

YES, smart intelligent women are intimidating, mainly because I like that in a woman.
It is a cool factor to have, but as the same time I dont want her thinking I am some imbecile, even though sometimes I am.
Tall, gorgeous women too. Not to me, but I have noticed where guys are just scared to talk to women like that.

While those attributes can be intimidating to some, I have known some short, not so educated women who were quite intimidating as well.
I think it depends on how they carry themselves. Do they use their height and knowledge as a weapon, do they lord it over people?
I have known many women, taller than me (5'9") who were very kind, sweet, personable and desirable. Oh yes, while I have a masters degree, they had that and more.
It all depends on the woman.

It depends on the woman's demeanor. And it depends on the guy. There are a few variables to the OP question. I think very smart women who are tall can be intimidating if they are also direct and confident. However, I find these types very attractive as well as being a bit intimidating.
I guess it depends on how much more educated is she than I am? How much taller is she than I am? If there is too much of a gap I would be more intimidated, but still attracted. A perfect example was when I had to go to the hospital for a fall at work. I was fine, no big deal. But the doctor was a tall shapely blonde who had a foreign accent. I was very attracted. But I was more intimidated than anything else.

i understand being intimidated by intelligence, but the question I have to ask by self is, is it because its so much more than my one (comparing) and how would our conversation go, as in pleasant, one sided, over my head, etc. I do not mind having a smarter woman in my life, that much I do know. yes I might be a but intimidated at first, but if the woman and I can stll compliment each other and personalities are somewhat flush than I would date her, even if I was initimidated at first.

Yeah, I agree with you Mec. I don't mind a woman who is as intelligent as I am or even slightly more intelligent than I am..."slightly." But if she is much more intelligent than I am, and is able to talk over my head about things that I don't have a clue about...I would not be interested in pursuing her. What would be the point? I would probably bore her and I would be frustrated which is no fun. The communication probably wouldn't be there between us. But having an intelligent conversation is desired.
