I hate to toot my own horn but I know I'm a good-looking guy, done a little modeling, I dress well, I'm tall, gregarious, etc. I've had experiences with certain women (and men) who get visibly nervous when I so much as make eye contact with them. I recall a bank manager dropping a ton of paperwork the moment I said, "Good morning," to her a while back. She could hardly speak. Good-looking women experience the same thing all the time.
Some people find hot people intimidating... I just find them hot.
Oh, no one is arguing that some women are intimidated, but the OP claims that all women are so intimidated that his brother can't get a date, and that's what stretches the limits of believability. I have a hard time imagining that a really handsome guy is asking woman after woman out on dates and
all of them turn him down!
I know I probably wouldn't. I've always been a sucker for a pretty face.
When I was single, I approached and flirted with most guys if I thought they were hot in the hopes that the opinion would be mutual, and that we'd get along. If I didn't try to stay in touch, it was because I didn't think we got along.
Maybe the OP's brother isn't scaring women. Maybe they don't like his personality.
That's what I'm wondering. It has to be his personality. A pretty face and body aren't enough.
I know someone that I'll dub Handsome Guy, that I think is physically very attractive and who has a model's face, but to be honest, he's really got a boring and off-putting personality. Other guys don't like Handsome Guy either. TheBF likes everyone, but he and his best-friend used to go to the gym with Handsome Guy to work out and every time I'd bring up his name, TheBF would make this sort of face that was like he smelled something bad. We both have a hard time pin-pointing what it is, though. He didn't laugh enough, or naturally, wasn't outgoing and interested in others, didn't joke around. We don't agree with his politics, but that can't be it. I know lots of people whom I consider charming whose politics I don't agree with. He just seems rather dull. Handsome Guy's face and body are more attractive and more perfect than TheBF's, if you saw them in pictures, and Handsome Guy stands several inches taller and just looks like the All American Boy, but TheBF's personality just shines so much brighter when he's in person, that women fell all over themselves trying to get his attention, whereas I don't think that Handsome Guy was lucky with the ladies at all. But then again, when TheBF arrived at the coffeeshop, he would stop and say hello to every single person, and ask them about their lives or bring up their last conversation together and show an interest before he even went inside to order anything, whereas Handsome Guy would just like semi-smile and wave and walk into the coffeeshop without stopping and when he came out, he'd just sort of sit by himself. I think it's telling that I knew more about TheBF and he knew more about me after meeting him once at the coffeeshop, than I knew about Handsome Guy after we both visited the same coffeeshop for years.
