Lately when hanging out with friends and women I noticed they are a little intimidated by me. Not even in a physical sense, just by the playaness. Have any of you guys experienced this?

I think what I need to do is show some vulnerability. What are some ways I can do this without it being forced?

A well placed sincere compliment will help you in this case. Balance.

Smile more.

I struggled greatly with this when I first started out. I've been straight up told by quite a few women that I come off as intimidating. So I started practicing smiling. When I wake up, in the mirror, when I'm out. Start chatting up more strangers, be more open and relaxed and aloof. This is one of the gradual processes of game, not gonna happen overnight.

Yeah yeah, have you ever been approached by just a really nice, warm friendly dude who shakes your hand and genuinely/sincerely asks, "hey man, how have you been?" You don't have to be THAT sincere, and damned if I could even care enough about anyone other than myself to be that genuinely sincere, but try to fake that vibe like an actor would.

Also, you could do 2 things in set if she accuses you of being intimidating: 1) offer a 'genuine' apology - say, "hey I'm really sorry, it's not something I want to be, but for some reason (i'm really tall), people think I'm initimidating but so not the case, i'm a big teddy bear really!" as long as it seems genuine, many times the girls will bite.

2) the 'moment of realness' - julien from RSD talks about this: google "julien moment of realness"
