Can't believe that, Anne Bancroft was a beautiful woman and Mel Brooks, well, hardly Hollywood good looks. I think she married him because he made her laugh, lots of women value a sense of humour in a man very highly.
Lol but i dont think Mel Brooks is bad looking.I just think in general alot of guys can feel intimidated. Of course this varies with their personalities and how confident they are.
I didn't say he was bad looking! But Anne Bancroft was a stunner right up until the day she died. What I was trying to say was that men shouldn't be intimidated, (nor do I think most men are for that matter), because most women, however 'beautiful' they may be, value more than superficial physical attributes.
I used to be a little shyer than I am now. The fear of rejection thing does hit home. Honestly, when you approach a woman that is out of your leauge (or if you believe that to be the case) you have already setup yourself for the blow off. So approaching it at that level brings an entire different sent of emotions into the transaction between prey and hunter.
I was on an island in Lake Erie a few years ago and it was some strangers birthday, he was walking around the bar hitting on every beautiful woman in the place. After being shot down by every attempt he ended up talking to me for a bit. I asked him why he put himself out there like that. His response was simple.
"I'm 40 swing and miss"
Those words have echo'd though my head ever since I heard them. So at that point a bit of my shyness went away.
I was actually trying to pump up a friend of mine at a bar a couple weeks ago. I used this logic to convince him not to be afraid of approaching a nice looking woman...
If I am sitting somewhere and some stanger comes up to me and says something I would answer. If they were female and nice looking I would think hey I might have a chance with her, if they were not someone I was attracted to then I would still say "hey that was nice of them to take some time out of their evening to approach me". I think that woman are sort of the same way as we are. The only problem with that logic is if you are like the 10th guy to approach the woman in which case you are already pre-determined to be some leach and you are not even given a chance.
So there it is, beautiful are hard to approach because usually they have been hit on so much that they are sick of it.
Not sure about that but I know that women are scared of good looking men...i use to be while i was single. Never thought one would ever be interested in me...Daniel4021 proved me wrong.
I don't think men are afraid of beautiful women, they feel threatened. Actually I think they fear more an intelligent, smart, independent woman. Beauty as we know it can and probably will change in the course of the years. Whereas knowledge and wisdom can only increase with time (until one falls prey of Alzheimer's)
I am not afraid of beautiful women else I would have a hard time on these forums cause lots of said women on here.
I am wary of a beautiful woman. Lets face it... A lot of beautiful women play as bad or worse the a male player. They know they look good and use it like a tool.
I could never be afraid of an intelligent, artistic, thoughtful, independant woman cause those are what I value the most in a mate.
