Men are not generally intimidated by women. In fact, many men may feel intimidated by the traditional dating narrative where it's "men are intimidating by me" or "why are men intimidated by me."
The real issue is not that men are afraid of women's success or the attention they receive, but rather that they may struggle to connect on a genuine level if the women they're interested in keep an artificial armor up around themselves. This can manifest as anger, resentment, and a lack of empathy towards the feelings of others, as well as a resistance to seeing their own lives and emotions as valid.
Moreover, some women may use the narrative of men needing to be 'intimidated' to justify their own behavior or lack of effort in relationships or communication. This is often a way for them to justify keeping their distance or pursuing their own objectives without regard to the feelings of others., while some women may use the narrative of men being intimidating to avoid connection or avoid addressing their own issues, the solution lies in facing these fears and addressing them honestly and respectfully, rather than avoiding the situation or covering it up.
