Intimidated by Amazons?

[MagicFingers]

Guys, do you feel intimidated by tall, large, not fat, women?
I don't mean big BBW types. That's fear, like when you are near an extroverted 300 pound+ person. I'm afraid I'll be hurt. That's different.
(And I don't mean to trash petite bbw's who can be very sexy.)

I mean, tall, 6'2", fit, sexy women who look ravishing at a distance. The kind you say to yourself, "I'd love to fuck that woman and climb her mountains."
Then when you get closer, you think, WOW, that's a lot of woman. could I ever please her? Would she be happy with a shorter, emaller guy? She must only date 6'4" guys with good looks and big equipment. I saw at least 3 women in the last week matching this description.

I love the old Commodores/Lionel Ritchie song about the Amazon who was built like a brick shit house. That's a fantasy for many of us guys. But, have any of you had similar feelings?

Use to work at an ice cream shop by a college one of their female baskett ball players was close to seven feet tall, blond and fucking hot, if she wasn't like six years older than me, ( I was 18 at the time) I might have flirted with her a little more. But alas I had to keep it professional.

I'm not a guy, but I'm gonna throw in my two cents.

My ex-husband (a 6-foot, 300 lb. former college offensive lineman) has always been attracted to the "brick shithouse" types. They're usually at least 5'10" and medium-to-large-boned, and they tend to be fairly physically fit. A nice-sized ass is a bonus, but it's not a necessity.

It makes me wonder how we ended up together, since I think his original goal in selecting a partner was to have good breeding stock (he wanted some little football players). At the time of our marriage I was 5'6" and 130 lbs. Judging from the other women he'd dated before me, who were taller/bigger-boned, I wasn't his type at all.

Attraction vs. love & marriage

I was always attracted to the wild, out there type women, but they weren't attracted to me. Many women are attracted to the bad boy types also. But when it comes time to fall in love, marry, and have kids, the person we pick is often different from our desires.

Well, this thread is getting a flacid response. Maybe I'm the only guy who feels this way, or guys are too macho to admit that some women intimidate them?

for my part, i've never particularly been intimidated by tall, athletic women. but then again, i'm rarely intimidated by other people's physicality. that said, that's also a physical type that doesn't particularly interest me.

I read somewhere (can't remember where) that when women are looking for JUST a sexual partner, they typically gravitate towards men with strong, more angular facial features. But, when they're looking for someone to settle down with (i.e., get married, have kids), they tend to gravitate towards men with more soft, rounded facial features.




But, to answer the original question: No, I'm not intimidated by "Amazons"... If anything, it makes a lot of sexual posistions much more feasible...

Hmm... I have a female friend from high school (we're around 30 now) who is 6 feet and a swimmer, so she's definitely an Amazon type. Never model-thin, nor remotely overweight, just solid, athletic - and I think, gorgeous. Also equipped with a direct, honest, no-nonsense kind of personality.

While she's easily fallen into the role of "one of the guys," and is 100% straight, she's hardly ever had a boyfriend, despite wanting to settle down, get married, have kids, etc. since college. It's anecdotal evidence, to be sure, but guys have apparently felt plenty intimidated by her.

Guys? Tall girls like you, too. Promise.

Several years ago, my husband pulled over brother and sister motorcyclists for speeding. Both were 6'11". Apparently the sister was pretty hot, particularly from my husband's, um, vantage point.

 

[EJFan]

for some reason i've started finding muscular women kind of hot lately. not ALL of them but some women carry it well and it does somethin' for me on some level.

all i know is that women of all forms are wonderful.

I'm in love wth Lisa Lesile

 

[midwestyankee]

I always thought that the love of my life would be slight and shorter than I am.

I was wrong.

I wonder how much of this is physical appearance, and how much is the amount of confidence a woman of this build might exude? I tend to find with men that the larger they are, the more confident they seem to appear on first glance (though we all know looks can be deceiving).

Revolution's post reminded me of a petite, beautiful girl with whom I went to high school. She was gorgeous, confident with herself but shy around new people, and all of this together made her seem "unattainable" to guys. My guy friends all thought she must have a boyfriend stashed away somewhere, but the truth was, until I hooked her up with someone in her senior year she'd never had so much as one date! She never went to prom, never went ANYWHERE. And here I was, this tiny toad of a person, dating constantly because I seemed more approachable.

Just throwing that out there...

Y'know. I'm horribly offended by that.

Being a 5'10 BBW, and all. You're saying tall BBW's can't be very sexy?

 

[MagicFingers]

Nope, I never said that - read it closely

I said 300 pound women are scary! You would be in the category of petite bbw that I mentioned in the last sentence. You aren't 300 lbs, are you?
There's a big difference between BBW and just plain fat and obese. I have no problem with BBW, and if that's your pic in your AV, you're a very pretty one.
I didn't mean to offend you or anyone else. Sorry if you took offence to that.

The question was about tall, fit, amazon types, like Xena, warrior princess, or Wonder Woman. That image. Yes, I fell it is the confidence that comes from the size, like in tall men. I had a friend who was 6'1" and used to go to tall singles dances. He was a confident guy and could talk to anyone, but even he felt inferior being the shortest person there sometimes.

I was at one point about 310 lbs. I'm around 275 now.
