I can't think of many (straight) men who would feel intimidated by their partner's beauty, but on the other hand many men would feel intimidated if their partner made more money than then.
So be honest: what intimidates you about the opposite sex?
The workings of the male mind are mostly a mystery to me at times.
We're terrible! Honestly, I've always been more of a "guys-girl", way more comfortable having a cold beer and cracking jokes about sex or boobs. I'm totally feminine and hetero, but I grew up as the token female in an all-male household, so I never got the hang of socializing with my own kind.Every once in a while I find a kindred spirit in another misfit chick, though.

Women who have good looks intimidate me. I always feel they're better than I am. My current girlfriend is beautiful (to me) and there are days I look at her and think to myself "Why is she with me?" I feel inferior sometimes.

It's better not to dwell on those thoughts or you'll end up convincing her that you're actually inferior.
But I am not shy with men in general. Just the ones I find attractive. I just assume, they automatically probably wouldn't be interested, and would go for the more flirty, sexual, and/or outgoing, hotter women, which in their opinion is 10x better.
Men's ability to better compartmentalize their emotions. In fact, I'm both intimidated AND impressed by their apparent ability to conceal, suppress, and entirely shut off their emotions whenever they want to. I wish I could learn to do that.

I get a lot of feedback from women that feel similarly to this. As a guy that's indicative of the men mentioned above, I gotta say...it's pretty awesome
Hmm... not much, honestly. "Men," in the collective sense, don't intimidate me, but I have been nervous or shy around really good looking men that are more my type.
Had I met my husband in person I would have been nervous. He's tall and imposing. In reality he's a total mush. Funnily, he said the same thing about me.

The fact they can get super attached and vulnerable in a hurry. I don't extend trust or vulnerability easy at all and the fact that a woman still wants me even after I do all I can to protect my heart from getting invested is intimidating.
