I'm enjoying my intimidation factor!

Ok, so my new job at the hospital is going quite well, but I have to say, most of the younger women are quite stuck up and snobbish. Like, purposely avoiding eye contact in the halls. This used to bother me in days gone by, but now I say "fuck it" and laugh at it. In fact, I'm taking delight in it. I certainly won't cross any boundaries that can allow them to pursue sexual harassment or anything like that, but the fact that I seem to intimidate them makes me want to egg them on a bit.

Now, I am not a huge guy, but 6' and 225 lbs. Decently built, but not a gorilla. But the ladies from say 30-35 years on up don't have a bit of problems with me and in fact are quite friendly with me. I'll joke around with them in the elevators and they don't seem to have a problem with it. Mostly it's the younger attractive women that are the prudes. Sometimes I used to wonder what the fuck their problem was, but I'm giving a drunken buffalo's shit less why as I get older. If they have a pole up their ass, I hope an asshole user/abuser rips it out, I just know I won't be around to care, I gave them their chance when I was young. I've always been a kind friendly guy-and yes I sound like a bitter bastard here, but it's something I just don't understand.

But give me a girl that's 30 or older, they have less shit in their head and put up with less shit. I think they see that I am honest and real and kind and are drawn to it. Maybe they are the frigid skanks 15 years down the road and have learned their lesson. Maybe the younger girls see that I can see through their shit and aren't wooed by the simple fact that they are pretty. I won't spoil them for this fact so maybe they get scared and give me the cold shoulder. In the meantime, I go out of my way to say hi to them and be friendly even when they can barely say anything or even make eye contact.

Ok, in fairness ladies, is this just a safety reaction you girls get? Do some guys scare you? These young girls are very sweet with the older patients down in Physical Therapy, but I believe it's cuz these guys down there are not physically capable and pose no threat. Or it could be that girls in major cities like where I work are skittish-but I've seen it elsewhere.

Dayum, time to get me some sleep.

When Female partners are around you, Act like you are a brother to them.

Work is work, focus on it.
 
I think attractive young women get so many unwelcome come ons that avoiding eye contact is a major defense mechanism.
 
Why not flirt with women that don't work with you at your workplace? Why not have friends outside your workplace. And you won't have to worry about having an intimidation factor.
 
Who said anything about flirting? 2 people can just greet each other and acknowledge each other's existence? When you're walking down a 70 foot hallway and there's no one else there, I consider it rude to just ignore them, work or not. Especially in an industry that focuses on being polite and welcoming. I've noticed a huge difference in the white guys and black guys at work too. The black guys are all really friendly and will greet you, say hi, how's it going, SOMETHING, and a lot of the white guys act like a caged animal. WTF?

So no, I'm not even talking about flirting.
 
That was what I got from your blog posting that you wanted the women to talk to you. But if people aren't up to talking maybe something is on their minds other than you. Maybe they are shy.

I also think that if you want people to be open with you you have to foster that openness in your social interactions. Like if you want people to open up, why not talk to people about something that they like talking about over lunch. Like their hobbies. Their dreams. What is going on in their lives.
