Would you like people to be afraid of you?

I'd totally take it. Fear is power; power generates money; money is the good life. If I invoked fear everywhere I went, I would not 'gain' peoples respect so much as I would take it, like lollypops from children.
 
I would like to be intimidating, but not feared. That's for frustrated dictators.

I swear your a prototypical Sith Lord. Its so alike its scary.

As for me its quite odd. I'm slightly taller than most of the people around me, a lot more broad shouldered, and have a decently higher amount of muscle than fat. Combine this with the fact that I rarely speak and when I do its with a deep, exclusively masculine tone I've had many people tell me I scare them at first. Its particularly bad if I come up to someone from behind and ask a question...they turn around with their eyes bulging out of their sockets saying "You're voice...its sounds like its from a horror movie."

Its almost sad that I dont use that stuff to my advantage.

Sincerely,
The Vault Dweller
 
Sometimes I think it'd be really cool to be a bipedal lizard with a prehensile tail, that is ten feet tall and weighs thousands of pounds so that each step shakes the earth. I think people might be intimidated by that.

But just being able to look people in the eyes and terrify them. That would be priceless. In fact, make it so that I have to wear shades so people don't accidentally look at my eyes. My aura of malice would be so powerful that people would still be intimidated by me even with that precaution for their safety. Man life would be so much easier with that. For one thing, you are pretty much guaranteed some kind of management position with that going on.
 
Forget fear. I'd love to have the power to make anyone including my enemies like or love me. Then they'd do anything for me and I could sit back and relax. :)

People who fear you, usually hate you and want to get rid of you.
 
Fear all the way, because then you know that people will only react in one of two ways to you. When someone is afraid of something, they either avoid it and bide their time until they get the chance to eliminate it through treachery, or prostrate themselves before it in order to gain the fearful object's protection.

Therefore, it's less to worry about, in terms of how people will react to you. Always a good thing when you can eliminate options.
