"Not to me u come across as very kind, and very very intelligent  
That was the other bit of "advice" - I should learn to dumb down.  "
no u shouldn't - who would I ask my stupid questions too then? You should always be who you are and what you are and embrace your attributes |

Never perceived you as scary.
I get the impression you are a very intelligent lady.
They may not have meant scary as in monster kind of scary, may be they were just scared to perhaps approach you  |

That would piss me right off.
They aren't scared of you, they are threatened by you. Take it as a compliment.  |

You are certainly not scary to me
Some people though are threatened by intelligence and a forthright approach, especially if it is combined with femininity.
They might be able to hold their own in the bedroom but not in the meets that lead up to getting there.
For others tho, what you possess are all positives  |

One of these was in a work situation and I did wonder if a man would have been given the same advice. |

"Scary?
It's only Wednesday and I have been told I am scary every day this week.
Apologies for such a blatant me, me, me thread. It's a genuine question. Do I come across as scary?"
Yes you are!!

I don't think you're scary. I think I did at first. It's because you rarely use smileys. I could never tell if you were joking or not. Maybe some people take you too literally.
As for the work thing, they were being sexist. (I think) |

That's interesting. I do use emoticons but, as you say, rarely. The work thing did come from a man. |

No you aren't scary or come across as such.
People also say that to me bunt know I'm not scary. I will challenge any statement i don't agree with and if I feel something is inappropriate then I'll say. I'm not afraid to voice any opinion regardless of how a thread sometimes is weighted in favour of a certain opinion.
I could never be accused of being a 'yes' woman and I don't suck up to people, but I'm never scary  |

"All those lovely shoes, they would scare my purse
My rule is to only buy shoes I can't wear for walking in the sales. I can't walk in any of those on display."
Sound advice.
I'll let you know in about a year if you are scarey or not, so far so good |

Join the club Lickety, luv! I have been told TWICE in recent times that I am 'arrogant'. It got to me so much that I deleted my single male profile and it's put me right off meeting for the time being.
You are NOT 'scary'. You are intelligent, funny, and post some of the most thought provoking threads to be found in the forums.
If anyone finds that intimidating, then that's their problem. You stay the way you are - don't change you or what you do to suit other people's shortcomings.
