Men: Do you feel intimidated by other men?

Just thought I'd ask this as well! This one is especially for the guys.. I have no idea how insecure guys get.. and try to be honest. I've got a feeling a lot of you will just joke about how macho you are :wink:

open up!

Nope. I'm not macho but I'm yet to meet anyone I'm truly intimidated by.

Not overwhelmingly, no. There are things I wish I could change about myself in comparison to other males but it isn't enough to make me feel insecure or intimidated.

Everyone will feel intimidated by someone. It's more a case of how many people you feel intimidated by. I personally feel a certain level of intimidation around quite a lot of people, but not enough for me to act noticeably differently.

Intimidated is a bit of an odd choice of words really. Doesn't that imply some sort of fear? I can't say most people really frighten me, unless they're violent or peculiar.

No. I'm secure about who I am.

On social levels, yes. It always seems when it comes to small talk other guys just seem to have it naturally. I stutter, I'm awkward and just end up depreciating myself, like saying: 'oh, it sounded more funny thinking about it.'

I really have to stop it, cause it makes me snap at the people I do like and hinders new friendships.

Only by gay ones, does this mean I might be homophobic? :s

Women are conquests, and men are competition. I dont get intimidated by other men but when I do encounter men who are say more physically dominating than myself I become sort of involuntarily more aggressive.
