Okay -- three, count them THREE people have told me I'm intimidating today.

Should I be flattered or insulted?

What makes people say this about me?

Yes, I consider myself to be an alpha female, but I mean WTF?

And the comment wasn't accompanied by, "...and I like it!" ;)

I think that deals more with people's in security that you. But if enough people say something about you that you feel may prove detrimental, fairly on unfairly, sometimes it is at least worth exploring. To me, though, when a woman is intimidating, it's a very positive thing. It means she hasn't let society strip her of the powerful curiosity and strength that she had before schools, boys, professors and who all else started to wear her down.

Women labeled as 'intimidating' get nailed by that bitch stereotype though.

I think maybe I just expect too much from people. I'm an 'in your face' kinda gal.
