Chapter 1: The Intimidation Element

When he ran into a hurt hiker on a distant mountain path, Bill Clinton just wanted to help that person. He would get around a corner only to discover two young women, one of whom had hurt her leg so much that she could not walk at all. Clinton, a poet who teaches writing at the State University of New York's Plattsburgh school, has been trained in wasteland rescue. He is also 6-foot-5 and 250 pounds, with a thriving voice and abundant facial hair that, on those winter hikes, it tends to frost over into what he refers to as an ice beard. It can make him a surprising figure in the woods.

Hi, my name is Bill and I know emergency treatment. Can I help? he asked the girls. Wishing to offer nonthreatening usefulness, he smiled, kept his hands in his pockets, and stayed at some distance. But he could see the fear in their faces. The standing girl instantly yelped, No! The hurt girl took longer to react, like thinking about the right words to tell him to leave. I'm waiting on a helicopter, she mentioned.

Clinton knew that there was no helicopter en route. Nonetheless he also knew that saying so, and staying, would only make the two of them more awkward. So he trekked on and eventually came across a ranger, who went up to help. The girls left the mountain safely, but it annoyed Clinton to know that they counted him among the threats they faced that day.

I was doing everything I could think of to not be daunting, he says. I dislike that that's how I am perceived. And it happens a lot.

Intimidation plays a crucial role in our social interactions every day. There are people who present as physically intimidating; others are enforcing because of their personality, intelligence, wealth, or social status. Still others could remind us of a person who scared us in the past. Whatever the source, we seldom talk about it freely, so the people who frighten us often have not the slightest idea how we see them. That can carry real risks, as the inner feeling of being intimidated can trigger a fight-or-flight reaction just as any other perceived risk does.

People who are easily intimidated, particularly people for whom self-confidence is a challenge, could find their behavior changing for reasons they don't always understand. And even the most seemingly secure individuals get intimidated in some cases, though not always by whom you would expect.

Big Misinterpreting

The fact that Jason Peña is built like a linebacker was a beneficial asset on his high school football team. It also helped him become a bouncer at the Houston bar, which is where he now works as a bartender and supervisor. But he rarely tosses his weight around; good friends define him as a softy and colleagues call him Peanut. As a bouncer, he's always tried to avoid physical confrontation. But while his size alone often convinces potential troublemakers to get in line, it can periodically provoke a violent response. Some people see a huge guy and want to prove themselves, Peña says, particularly if they've been consuming.

Clinton, who also worked as a bouncer for several years, says his size was more often a liability than a benefit on the job. He took at the very least 20 punches throughout his bouncing profession, he says. One patron broke a pool cue over his head.

The intimidating impact of physical size is just one of the easiest to explain from an evolutionary perspective. Most people larger than we're pose an apparent danger: They could hurt us. It's fundamental mammalian stuff, says therapist Grant Brenner. These nonverbal cues signify things that we pick up outside of consciousness and impact the way we view the other individual and analyze their intents.

We could, thus, be ready to fight an intimidating individual before we comprehend why. And those of us who've unintentionally intimidated someone
