In my professional and personal life, great single men looking to meet someone special constantly tell me they held back in approaching a woman they were potentially interested in because she seemed too intimidating.
Single women also tell me they are out and about and consider themselves open to love, but they are having trouble meeting men despite being surrounded by them.

Clearly there is some sort of mismatch here if single men are saying they are uncomfortable approaching women who appear too confident or intimidating and single women are saying they wish they were approached more.
