I'm a good looking guy (or so I've been told numerous times) but I have not run into most of those problems. I think most men just try to blame their incompetence on something else. One thing I do notice, however, is that women have no confidence approaching me because and I quote: they feel like I'm "out of their league", when they usually are not.
I know your pain, sucks being one of the hot ones right? ;)
I don't know that I'd trade places with a better looking guy actually. I'm fat and have a baby face, but I'm pretty comfortable with myself and would lose a large per of my humor if I couldn't make fun of myself.
That said, your problems aren't worse than us averages, just different.
I wasn't making myself a victim. in this mytake rather giving people an informed insight that not everyone's lives are perfect if anything this should have given others a comfort that there isn't any one who is not struggling.
I know some guys who think they don't look good. They think of other things and think deeply and have inner world.
You think you look good and you can't think of anything else than about how you look. You even converted it into negative thinking.
Omg you are spoiled.
This needs more citations. It would be interesting if this were real and backed by some serious anecdotes even if they were personal and survey based.
well I made this mytake from anecdotes I think there were studies done on how having a "handsome appearance" could affect you negatively nut not sure of the source.
Well, I like it anyway!
thank you my good man by any chance have you experienced this?
No, fortunately I'm not attractive at all.
I agree, most of those things happened to me.
I had a group of girls go against me in HS... gotta say I dated all 3 of them, and if it wasn't because I was dating another of her friends, things could've gone worse xD
You felt the hate when you dumped them I take it?
I felt the hat of all three when one of them wanted to get back but I didn't, that's when all started.
gr8 b8 m8, 8 out of 8.
funny comments, too, lolol.
The comments are hilarious I agree
i mean i been groped in public and I didn't like it at all and girls are pretty hostile to me when i reject them and some gilrs do label me as gay when they see me. But that does not really make my life harder in anyway. There are things I struggle with a lot more.
If people label me as handsome at least lol.
Wow dude great take!
You've got the dating world things on point especially number 3
I would also add that your average looking male-friends will also wants to walk with you and hang out with you so that other girls notice them.
You might also fell in the ego boost trap where she just keeps you around to feed her boobs and big ass '' oh i have a handsome hot boy around me great''
There are no disadvantages to being good looking. If there are any disadvantages then they are far outweighed by the advantages. Many studies show that being attractive gives you an advantage in society.
How many attractive people would trade their good looks to be a plain, average looking person? Thousands of people get cosmetic surgery every year to try and look more attractive.
True but it still outweighs with positives being a plain or unattractive guy
its damn hard being hot. I'd know. Being attractive has a particular burden to it that is oft not understood by the general public and the peon classes
People reading this mytake seem to have taken it as a piety asking mytake. Instead of an insight into the supposed "perfect" world of some men.
Similar to what attractive women face, great take, by the way, want to be facebook friends and read an article I wrote on my page about a similar topic to this?
Well, that is interesting and provocative, but I think most of us would agree that these are "luxury problems" and would rather be attractive than not.
Despite all the setbacks of being good looking, I much rather be that than ugly or average. In my case as a female, women are more negative towards me than men.
those guys are not even attractive., they are not gross but they are not hot. the second looks nice eyes but dirty and both look aged.
Well beauty is subjective
of course.
by the way i dont do any if throws throngs to guys i think are hot. i treat them like everyone else as long as they are respectful as anyone should be..
I understand your pain. I get that sometimes.
So, my solution was to date really hot girls. They seem to accept me more.
Does a good looking man really like average looking girls? I mean it seems like she is not good enough for him, so it does nt feel genuine..
Well ik of married couples where one is significantly better looking than his spouse.
But its rare I admit but still could be a possibility deminished by Prejudice's
So i guess its true wen we feel that d handsome guy hitting on us is a non serious player coz he can get so much better than us :( ?
Here's the thing. I felt the same way for girls and created a low self esteem for myself with this type of thinking. Finding out a few girls that I highly regarded thinking that I was hot was a huge help. Took one of them out a few times and it didn't quite work out but my self esteem is fixed.
This is like a rich white person complaining about their problems. All the ugly guys in the world would gladly trade places.
And if it's really so bad, then just make yourself ugly. Seriously, if you really mean that it's tough being handsome then just get some bacon grease on your face and get some gross acne or something. Add some love handles or stop grooming yourself so much.
Obvious hypocrite is obvious.
Dude I was highlighting amh you sound pissed off over nothing
Secondly the struggle with not being promoted could mean a loss of eaening s into the thousands, so I don't see why someone should invalidate that
The "struggle" of not being promoted is only based on hard work. And as for a reality check; minorities have a way harder time getting promoted than you. Imagine being black or gay, that's a hard position to get promoted at a job.
as you said beyond the actual working to deserve a promotion other factors like likeability and that is dependent on looks, sexual orientation and ethnic background
I'm talking about YOU only having to work hard. Being a "handsome guy" is only about working harder. Being a minority is different. You're simply making up a handicap that only exists in your mind.
Im racially ambiguous also
Discrimination is illegal dude :/
Yeah it's illegal to discriminate against race, but that doesn't magically stop it from happening.
It's also illegal to discriminate against someone based on their looks (for being "too handsome") so you're argument is invalid.
What is racially obgious take owner?
Yeah, I recognize most of these. But it isn't really Armageddon, not unless you for some reason care so much about what people think of you, and the boons outweigh the cons easily.
I can derinitely relate to the groping one. This year alone I had to file reports on 3 girls who went waaaaaaaaay beond even that, like stalking and following me into bathrooms and shit. Like fuck off I need to piss.
