8 Reasons Why Other Men Feel Intimidated By The Infj Man

8 Reasons Why Other Men Feel Intimidated By The Infj Man explores key ideas related to psychology, presented clearly and practically.



Whether an INFJ man leans more towards the

sigma or alpha side of the male hierarchy,

they have something about them that seems

to intimidate other men in a different way

than you’d imagine. They’re rarely the life of

the party, and they’re certainly not normally

considered the macho men of the group.. So why

is it that they would be considered intimidating?

Although the dating game seems rather challenging

for both the INFJ man and then INFJ woman,

from the outside looking in, INFJ men get along

with women on a level that other men can’t.

Sure, it doesn’t always mean they’re perceived

as ‘boyfriend material’ but for the empathic INFJ

man, understanding the emotions and feelings

of women is considered an easy task. In fact,

behind a lot of women’s thought processes.

Because of this, they actually prefer talking

to women compared to men, which gives them the

advantage of being around more women. While the

average INFJ man may be friend zoned, from afar it

looks like they’re undoubtedly a ladies man..which

makes some men feel seriously intimidated,

left wondering what their charm is all about.

The main reason men of other personality types

find the INFJ man slightly intimidating is due

especially when it comes to the emotions of other

people. Besides the fact that their empathic

ability can easily freak people out, INFJ men

carry a sense of intensity in their energy that

can sometimes be sensed by others. This intense

energy can be enough to make other men hesitate

when it comes to approaching or getting to know

the deeply introspective INFJ man. Although most

INFJ men probably know this about themselves

on some level, they aren’t too apologetic about

this intense energy because they have no interest

in necessarily impressing others or fitting in.

They either attract people who are willing to see

through that intensity or they happily move on.

Known as one of the more extroverted of the

introverted personality types, the INFJ man can

mesh with any crowd due to their chameleon-like

abilities. However, it’s not always their social

skills that intimidate the men around them,

instead, it’s the unpredictability of knowing

which INFJ you’re going to get. Of course,

this is only apparent when you’ve seen the INFJ

multiple times and within different settings,

they’re able to adjust their mood, tone of voice

and frame of mind in order to make the person whom

they’re talking to feel more comfortable. While

this is generally quite an impressive trait,

it tends to be more eye-catching when it comes

from an INFJ man rather than a woman. Not only

does it make other men feel like they can’t

relate to people (more specifically women)

the same way an INFJ man does - but it makes

them feel like they’ve been doing it all wrong

all along. Unfortunately, extroverted thinking

and feeling isn’t something you can learn.

INFJ men have a particular energy about them.

It’s an energy that at first is quite difficult

to put a finger on. Interestingly enough,

it’s an energy that’s only confusing to others

because of its contradictory nature. INFJ men are

both inherently laid back, and extremely guarded.

They’ll rope you into a conversation rooted

in original ideas and concepts, ask you about

your life and then hold you at a distance

for weeks, months, and even years to come.

They can easily make acquaintances but when it

comes to letting other guys into their social

circle, it’s a little bit of a different story.

This can be rather intimidating to men who easily

let other people in, or even men who have a large

social circle because they end up questioning what

about them the INFJ doesn’t like. Of course, as

we all know, it’s not so much about the INFJ not

liking something about a person but rather

the fact that they take a painstakingly-long

time to allow others to get to know them on a

personal level. Confusing, yes. Spiteful, no.

they aren't so keen on sharing their original

ideas or shouting their latest greatest plans

from rooftops. However, when in conversation with

the INFJ man, other men can’t help but to pick up

on their unique ways of thinking. In fact, this

is what usually intrigues women when talking to

the rare INFJ man, because this originality comes

with depth and wisdom that they don’t see in some

other men. In fact, the level of independence

INFJ gift feels most threatening to the men who

set out to take all the credit or are stubbornly

closed off to outer opinions. Unfortunately this

is the case in some work settings where INFJs

naturally are attuned to work smarter rather

than harder, because it’s never appreciated by

the stubborn ones who are accustomed to always

going by the rule book. In these instances,

they’ll see the INFJ man as rebellious when

really he just sees a better way of doing things.

Kindness is one of those things that everyone

wants from others, but when it comes with no

warning, we tend to become very suspicious.

That concept is a prime example of why INFJ men

intimidate other men. While some men are able to

accept random acts of kindness without question

or doubt, most men have an underlying sense of

distrust within the world and the people in it.

Most men, or really most people, believe that

if someone is doing something nice for them,

they either expect something in return or they

are going to use that favor against them in the

long run. So, when the INFJ man attempts to lend

a hand or go out of their way for someone else,

it’s no surprise when people are left wondering

but kindness can be not only intimidating but

seen as seriously questionable for some people,

Although INFJ men are keen on helping others,

most of them know that in reality, they are

quite introverted and independent people in their

private life. Sure, independence can be seen as

a manly trait that most men are somewhat equipped

with. But the INFJ’s level of independence is

something most men can’t relate to. They’re not

only independent in the sense that they don’t

really need a large group of friends or social

status to be content, but they hold a level of

independence that affects all areas of life. All

INFJs march to the beat of their own drum, relying

on no one, and often going against social norms.

people at a distance in order to maintain this

level of solitude in their day-to-day lives.

In fact, this independence is most intimidating

to the extroverted men who actually feed off the

energy of others to feel re-energized because

naturally they will want to spend more time with

While all INFJs have an underlying obligation

to avoid conflict, the INFJ man is less likely

to hold back compared to the INFJ women. This is

especially true when they’re faced with other men

that are discussing or actively acting upon things

that are against their deep-set morals. Lying,

cheating, abusing, you name it. If the INFJ man is

up against men that use others for their own gain,

they won’t hesitate to question their motives

aloud. INFJ men have a keen sense of seeing right

through BS of any sort - which can definitely have

some people questioning how they know what they

know. In fact, men can end up feeling intimidated

when faced with this incredible ability to see

through their dishonestly because they’re able

to notice things about people that others are

completely oblivious to. This makes other men

question whether or not the facade they think

they’re putting on is obvious to everyone else or

just the INFJ themselves. Luckily, while it may

look like the INFJ man can read minds, most of the

time they’re using body language, change in tone,
