12. STARING
13. People try to find something wrong with you
14. Unwanted comments (I often ovearhear comments about my appearance which isn’t always bad but it can make you uncomfortable especially when multiple do it at the same time)

I think 'good looking' can have the same effect between males, as it is and has been for females. However, I find most males tend to keep it to themselves, as I believe it is due to the fact that the world wants guys to have more confidence in themselves, including the way they look. Believe it or not, I have had friends in the past that told me "I wish I could be as big (muscular) as that other person," and I have had another friend in the past telling me not to talk to his girlfriend because 'I'm a "good looking guy..." even though he later told me that was a joke, but oh well?

It happens with guys too, some real 'good looking, "Handsome" guys can be real mean sometimes, it's not just some pretty chicks that can be like that. However, the bottom line is, to be charming and charismatic isn't all about being physically attractive: handsome or pretty, it is all down to confidence.

Jealousy, too (though not as much). Unwanted attention (though not as much). Heightened risk of sexual assault (that will in no way be taken seriously). And an even-greater-than-usual-for-men lack of sympathy for the problems that you DO have.

Being too handsome can make someone narcissistic / Cocky and he'll start treating others like shit. However that doesn't apply to everyone.

Whatever disadvantages exist I doubt they would outweigh the advantages.
