This World Needs More Intimidating Women.
Teryl Dunn

The most important key to having a good relationship is communication, but when the word "intimidating" comes up, it becomes very confusing. It’s unclear to you if the guy means it in a good or bad way. They have you sitting there thinking what the heck happened. Is he impressed or scared by you? I’m here to tell you that being intimidating isn’t a bad thing; actually it’s a very good thing.

Here are eight reasons why it’s OK to be the intimidating girl:

1. You’re independent.

Independent women scare men. Most men like the needy type. They want a woman who depends on them for everything, but you are the complete opposite. You are financially and emotionally stable. You can survive without them and you’re content about that. They feel intimidated in this area because they don’t have control over you.

2. He’s insecure.

When a guy tells you you’re too intimidating, he’s using it as an excuse to break up with you. He really means that you’re to cool, too beautiful and too amazing for a scrub like him. He realizes you are better than him and he knows that one day you will see it, too. You deserve a confident man that has way more faith in your relationship than that.

3. You see a future.

Men fear the idea of long-term commitments. They get intimidated when a girl mentions the future. It may not be with him, but you have goals and standards that you will achieve one day without someone that’s intimidated by that.

4. You’re unapproachable.

It takes guts for a guy to be able to approach a woman at the bar, but he sees you as unapproachable because of the way you carry yourself. He sees an independent, confident woman that doesn’t need a man to make her happy. He thinks he will be shot down before even trying, so he might decide it’s better to steer clear.

To become more approachable smile a little more, but still carry yourself as a confident woman. The right guy that can handle you will approach you.

5. You’re out of their league.

Let’s face it--some men have a lower self-esteem and are intimidated when they go on a date with a woman that is on a higher level. This could mean that you are more sexually attractive, smarter, or your personality is all-around great. They see you as an amazing date they can’t match.

6. You’re opinionated.

You aren’t afraid to share you opinion with little-to-no filter and that’s not a bad thing. It’s intimidating because you know who you are and what you want. Stay opinionated and you will attract the right guy to help sharpen your mind.

7. You carry a masculine energy.

Not all women are girly. You don’t like dresses or heels. You don’t cake on the make-up. You are you. So on the first date when you order a burger instead of a salad it can be intimidating. Own it, girl.

8. He admires you.

Being intimidating isn’t a bad thing. He could actually be calling you intimidating because he admires you. He sees your strength, knowledge, and power. He sees how content you are in life and wants to be apart of that. He sees the power couple that the two of you can become.

This world needs more intimidating women. Keep being the strong and beautiful woman that you are; own how badass you are.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
