Do attractive men get away with behavior that would be deemed creepy if they weren’t good looking?

[Yizella]

And I by creepy I mean the overuse of cringy pet names, sexual comments, over staring at a woman’s bum, arrogance that’s over looked because most women will call it “Confidence” etc

This phenomenon is often referred to as the "halo effect," where positive attributes like physical attractiveness can overshadow negative traits. Attractive men may be perceived as more charming or charismatic, leading others to overlook or downplay behaviors that might be considered unacceptable if coming from someone deemed less attractive. So the answer is a strong yes, backed up by research.

I know they do, and have seen examples of it or the reverse of that, a not-really-handsome guy trying to flirt with a pretty woman and her being outwardly put off by it and she said as much to me later, after he left. Had he been attractive to her, she would have gone along with it.

[supercutebutt]

Yes, for sure. My grandma told me a story about her piano teacher being "creepy" when she was a little girl. She said he wasn't a very attractive fella. I asked if she would have been into his advances if he was a handsome gentleman, and she basically said yes. lol.

[RoseySarah]

No more then women do. We really get away with a lot! Less creepy things more bitchy things!

[Yizella]

Trust me. I know but I feel like our pretty privilege is recognized much more than a man’s because they have it too lol

[RoseySarah]

Very true they both get away with stuff won't deny that!

[RoseySarah]

Like this guy here 🤣
Am I just a fantasy? ↗

[Yizella]

Oh yes definitely I had a big crush on a guy like this. He wasn’t as direct when mentioning how women wanted him but certain subtle things he would say showed he loved himself more than anything lol. He would be talking to me about his boxing and how it trained his body and mind and he would say things like “it’s gonna be a big year for me.” Then he would just stare off, almost forgetting he was even talking to me and as though he has created a space where if was just himself and he would say “Yeaaaa.” While grinning and agreeing with hisself Lmaoo now at the time, my crush for him was on high so I ignored it but trust me when I say, in the back of my mind I knew it was strange lol.

[RoseySarah]

More narcissistic then any thing. Such a turn off but we still crush sometimes.
It's worse when we fall hard for losers like that who usually do nothing with Thier big gear but brag and dream 😂.
Instead of working hard and getting what ever it is.

[Yizella]

I was letting him get away with all sort of creepy behavior. Like once I was walking away from him and I felt him heavily staring and he says loud enough “There’s something on your butt.” And watched me while I wiped that something off. Then another time, I remember me talking to him abut the last time I got pretty drunk on my birthday and I told him I was acting a bit unusual but I meant unusual in a casual way. Like, I was dancing, talking more, singing etc he took it totally different because he said “ Unusual. So you get a little freaky when you drunk?” Knowing had any other guy said that to me I would have been disgusted lol.

[RoseySarah]

Yup crushing also let's them get away with creepy. Just depends if any one calls them on it or let's them get away with it!

I'd slap my brother if he did that

[Yizella]

Yep you’re right lol. I have a son and I’m gonna try my best to ensure he doesn’t turn out that way.

[RoseySarah]

Make wure he has some female friends to keep his head on right!

[KrakenAttackin]

@roseysarah. I hope your brother would slap you right back.

[Yizella]

@KrakenAttackin well that would be a nasty outcome lol

[RoseySarah]

So never had good siblings yeah we play fight id wrestle him after! Either way the girl is scared of!

I win

Yes, women tend to be far more "forgiving" of certain behaviors when the man is attractive than when he isn't.

[Yizella]

It’s crazy how that picture depicts exactly what happens.

[Unit1]

Remember, it's harassment if he's not attractive.

[CozyCoffin]

Both men and women do, because they look good.

[Still-alive]

both attractive men and women get away with bad behavior more often. i don't know about creepy behavior

[catsmemoir]

I don't think there's much question about that

[LiamJHayden]

There are memes about it, but I am unsure how true it is.

[Minahh]

💯 unfortunately a lot of psychos get away with it just because they're conventionally attractive

[hismave]

Looks can't cover up disturbing behaviour but at least good personality can cover up an ugly face.

[spartan55]

Are you serious? Of course.

[exitseven]

Yes, all the time.

[Ms_Facesitter]

Because superficial people let it happen.

[ImalwaysrightOK]

Obviously this is true.

[KrakenAttackin]

Of course they do.

[Anonymous]

Of course they do!

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Probably…

[Zestyassmf1997]

Absolutely.

[Danny_dan92]

Correct.

[jahaims]

Duh.

[californianjoe]

[riverrat3]
