Is being a "Pretty Boy" a bad thing?

[nlh921]

Never before in my life was I considered a "Pretty Bay". In HS I was a "Skater" and dressed pretty ratty. I worked in construction from 16-21 and then joined the Military as a Paratrooper. All of a sudden I had plenty of money and exposure to people from all over the world, I quickly realized I needed to clean up my look and I had the budget to do so. I have really learned to take pride in the way I present myself, I am clean cut and dress fairly well, I workout everyday as part of my job and I try to ensure that my clothes fit right.

I have noticed lately that my some of my friends and girls I meet tell me or otherwise imply that I am a "pretty boy". I have throttled back somewhat returned to my t-shirt and jeans roots, albeit much nicer t-shirts and jeans and shoes to match. nothing dirty or ratty except work clothes for working on my car or doing yard/housework etc. I am still not afraid to wear a button down, especially plaid, or a polo.

It is hard for me to view myself as a pretty boy but I am also aware that is how My self image is fine but am I damaging the way other people view me?

Maybe you are a pretty boy. So what. People need to get over it. It's none of their business how you dress. You should look however makes you happy and feel good about yourself.

If you're hanging out with people who judge you for who you are, then maybe it's time to get new friends to go with your new style, who actually accept you for who you are.

If not, then you can always look scruffier if you choose.

You should really piss them off and get a modeling contract so you can get paid to just stand around. F***them. I hate jealous people haha.

Dont allow labels to overtake you.

Being a pretty boy just implies that you take pride in the way you look. There is nothing wrong with that.

Pretty boy is like a bot that has features that are to good to be true..its like you are really cute naturally.

I've had a few girls call me that or metro. Just respond with a smirk and say "thank you". Don't try to defend yourself or ask what she means. If she's with you, she likes you for a reason. Trying to act defensive will only make you look insecure.

Thanks for BA.

NP, it usually catches me off guard and I never really did not know how to respond besides asking them why. I like the simple smirk and "Thanks" idea. If it is a buddy, I just find a way to tease them back etc, but it was the girls I just met that really threw me off.

Thanks

It caught me off-guard once. After that, I realized less is more. In general, less is more with all women in almost all circumstances. Less talking equals more security in one's self and more mystery, both of which are good things for you.
