Caligynephobia or Venustraphobia is the fear of beautiful women.

I've come across a few people like this before that were actually fearful and scared, not just awkward.

I'm wondering if anyone else has?

In my experience, I notice people are very interested in them too, but they're usually shy because they're not used to that kind of attention on their own.

But if they're also attractive, we get a much more intense level of attention together.

How is it for you?

I get confused for this a lot or a model. Even my little nephew thought it and asked me 🤣.

I think it's because of how people act towards me/us when I would take him out places. He'd always get so much attention than usual because they think he's my son. It's a pretty weird experience.

I've been accused of it for no reason, but I never have lol. I also don't judge anyone for it either.
So I do wonder though, has anyone here ever actually done that, and how did it go?

For more social power or upward mobility?

Or wealthier men.

I’ve been reading posts on r/prettyprivilege, r/Rich, and r/gifted, and I’ve noticed a similar pattern where people talk about having certain advantages, but also the problems that come with them.

I’m mostly curious about beauty and intelligence because they both seem like natural forms of giftedness, even though they affect people’s lives in different ways.

Are there any women here who feel like they’re both physically and intellectually gifted?

What has that been like for you? Has having both made life easier, harder, or just different?

I’d also like to hear what it’s like being attractive in intellectually gifted spaces.
