What's it like to be a handsome guy?

[Anonymous]

What's the life of a handsome guy? Any handsome guys here? Tell me. I know it's not all good but just wondering.

[Buzzed]

Very interesting question, I'm considered to be a good-looking guy but it really doesn't mean anything. I'm 6ft4", blonde, I have a toned/chiselled body, a good looking face (or so I'm told) and I dress respectably. I get a lot of girls looking at me when I'm out in public and I'm always making eye contact with girls.
The only thing is, I have the confidence of a rabbit and I have never spoken to a random girl who I haven't actually been introduced to. Due to this I literally never meet girls as I moved country a while ago and hardly have any friends. I've been on the look-out for a new girlfriend for about three months now and I don't think I've actually spoken to a girl who I don't consider just a friend since then.
I know people who would probably be considered very average looking who are constantly in and out of relationships with new girls and that is based on their personality and "skill" with girls. For me I'm not interested in being with multiple girls, I'd just like to find another girl who I get on with really well and stay together with for a very long time, but that doesn't seem to be happening.
So although you may get more chances as an attractive guy, at the end of the day it really just comes down to your confidence and personality.

Has its pros, has its cons. You get a warmer reception from women and can make more mistakes, but you still have to learn some game. Get good, you can clean house. A lot of people will snub you, though, assuming you must be a privileged asshole or a player, that sort of thing.

You can get random discounts at places, people treat you with more deference. But you can tell a lot of people resent you, you don't always trust your friends are actually friends, just trying to leach off you.

I'd say the pros outweigh the cons, but some of the individual cons are more upsetting than the pros are uplifting

Finally a proper answer. Thanks!

There you go. These pros that were delineated can be applied to men. Unfortunately they have an easier time with dealing with situations.

I guess it's annoying. One of my guy friends is handsome and has girls kissing the ground he walks on.

He says it's annoying. But I don't know because I've never been a handsome man.

[Asker]

lol well obviously cause you're a girl

[PhantomLights]

Really? I hadn't noticed. Maybe I should get my head checked...

[Asker]

Yeah you should.. I don't know whats wrong in your head

Good and bad.

Good getting looks from girls a lot, because who wouldn't like that? It's flattering and I'm not even about to deny that it's a bit easier to get your foot in the door with girls using just them checking you out as your "signal".

Bad- since girls are basically not expected to deal with their shyness or insecurity issues, it can be hard to actually get a response out of them when they're staring at the floor. On top of my looks, my friends (and especially my lady friends) say that I'm an intimidating looking person as-is. I'm not a smiler and don't wear my emotions on my sleeve, so I have something of Resting Bitch Face syndrome. So that, plus girls getting shy/nervous because of looks, makes it tricky (and sometimes just annoying) to even try talking to them.

I'm fortunate though that I was a bit of an ugly duckling growing up. Not ugly with my looks because I've always had girls glancing my way, but how I presented myself. I didn't dress well, was shy and anxious myself, and just didn't carry myself well. Now that I've grown up and handled my shit, I know what it's like on both sides of the fence.

So it's great to be able to get in with attractive girls, but also great to not be their puppy dog desperate to get their attention either. I've slowly learned "alpha" behavior, and not that silly internet alpha bullshit either. Like ACTUAL confident and charming behavior.

what "handsome guy" means?

for other people you might be handsome but for others you might be ugly.

this thing is subjective basically

[James0]

You feel flattered and annoyed at times;and start to understand what a girl goes through. Yet, I feel also that things in life become more obtainable but you are held to a higher standard.

[Ihav2fart]

People will be more nice and friendly to you, but sometimes you get objectified. You're just a walking penis...

Overall, I rather be handsome than average.

[Asker]

You're just a walking penis...

hahahahahahhahaha

[fun-weird-guy]

There is no one guy who everyone is going to think is good looking to any degree.

[Asker]

What do you mean?

[fun-weird-guy]

I mean not everyone is going to agree on who is good looking

[Asker]

Yeah but there are people who are obviously clearly handsome.. Why do you think some people gets a lot more attention and comments from their appearance than others? Meaning those people find him handsome.

[fun-weird-guy]

Just because they get more attention does not make them better looking because beauty is in the eye of the beholder. A guy may be good looking to one group of people but not to another group of people.

[Asker]

If beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder then why does others get more attention? Then if that is really true and the only thing that is responsible in attraction, then shouldn't all of us are equal in the amount of level of physical attractiveness? Get real my friend because we all know all of the people here on Earth have different level of beauty.

''Just because they get more attention does not make them better looking''.. A contradiction statement. Yes it does, why do you think he gets attention?

''A guy may be good looking to one group of people but not to another group of people.'' That's not the point, the point is the one guy is deemed to be more attractive by more people than people who find him not so handsome. Meaning the number of people thinks he's handsome is a lot more than people who doesn't. The group is not equal. That's the point.

[NerdInDenial]

I theorize that they get a lot of attention; it's easier for them to get girls to say yes to their date requests. It's easier for them to get higher paying jobs.

[Blondiee2014]

They probably notice every female is staring at them before he has even noticed them.

[DennisOh]

Got employee discounts from American eagles because one of th girls had a crush. on me right then and there. True story

[Keyspirits]

@ihav2fart sumone's in need of u ma man. Give'em a lesson that he'll nvr forget 👌

[Ihav2fart]

It's troublesome.

[hypno-trip]

You get strangers glancing at you and you feel self conscious.

[Anonymous]

you get the attention of random women for no reason and then you have to actually turn a lot of them down and they get angry and bitter
