From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Historically, intimidation is notable as an aspect of fighting methods and military strategies. This lens needs more article space. Tlogmer ^{Talk / Contributions} 06:38, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Injury or harm?

I understand that intimidation sometimes makes a person have a certain degree of fear that they will be harmed in some way, but that is not the only situation in which intimidation occurs. For example, you may be intimidated by someone who is very talented/much more talented than yourself. The only thing being hurt in that case is pride. And someone may not intentionally be intimidating, but may just be an intimidating person because they have an extreme amount of fame, beauty, power, money, popularity, talent, etc. Another example is a man being too intimidated by a woman's beauty to approach her and ask her out on a date.

See what I mean? Intimidation isn't just used in, say, football games or fights; people can be unintentionally intimidating, and intimidation doesn't have to invoke fear of injury or harm. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.169.207.111 (talk) 05:11, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
