thank you -
I wonder about the "technology" factor though when you are talking about intimidating girls. Like for example - does a girl look at a guy with expensive gear and go "oh, he's a pro and knows what he's doing. He's OK". That would be as opposed to her reaction to someone with a camera phone or a point and shoot, who may be perceived as being a perv with little money or talent.
i don't know for sure, but the guys with the gear always seem to command a bit more respect. Whether they deserve it or not is another matter, but it at least shows you that they have a little money (and education, etc).
