How does one go about being less intimidating or more approachable? I'm a 20yr old guy, 6'6", I lift, and my voice is super deep, like on my way to doing radio kind of bass. I usually have a beard but when I shave I'd say I'm more "cute" than aggressive looking. I'm very quiet, usually standing in the back of my friends at a party. I wouldn't say I'm socially retarded, I just don't have much to say and I'd rather listen so I don't approach many people out of fear of being boring or them being scared.
If I had a dime for every time I heard:
>I was really scared to approach you at first
>you're actually super nice I never would have guessed

Smile. Keep your beard trimmed and your clothes in order.

I would give my left nut to be you. Armstrong managed with just one so I'd still be fine.

OP here, I'm still a kissless virgin at 20 regardless, because I've never pursued anyone. No one is ever completely happy with who they are I feel.

Go for the friendly lumberjack look.
You'll get approached by a ton of hipsters though.

Correct, however I'd rather have the choice of trying to be less intimidating than not have the option of being intimidating.

No one should be because otherwise they'd be narcissistic and think there is nothing more to improve.
I'd say you're thinking of this the wrong way. The social retardation and self deprecation is the issue, not how intimidating you are. Just force yourself to approach more people and stop waiting for others to approach you.

Just take action, huh?
Yeah, I guess I do need more experience talking to people and better confidence

> I'm very quiet
Well, change that. A huge dude who's also smiling and making jokes is a lot less threatening than a huge dude who looks like he's imagining the ways he'll snap your neck if you come any closer.
