So before I start, I realize that this is the internet and for all you know I could be some dweeby loser who gets turned on by pretending to be someone else on the internet but anyway the other day at work my very handsome and straight coworker called me handsome. That made me think about how handsome I actually am. I was always kind of a weirdo growing up and didn't think of myself as attractive but since college I've become much better looking and only now in my early 20s am I really owning my attractiveness.

Girls look at me a lot, gay guys hit on me all the time and even straight men like my coworker comment on my handsomeness. I got a commercial agent just based on my face, an acting teacher called me "gorgeous" and I remember overhearing a bi guy at a party say I was a "9.9." I notice people look at me while walking down the street which is flattering but sometimes is uncomfortable. I am also realizing now that I've become very nice to people because I don't want to intimidate them by how I look. I think people expect good looking guys to be assholes. I don't have a ripped body but my face has done a lot for me.

Anyway, I just wanted to know how other good looking guys feel. Can you relate? How has being handsome affected your life? What can I expect as I get older?

Sorry for how incredibly narcissistic this is but I don't know where else to talk about this :smile:

Long ago, the week before I started first grade in a mid-Atlantic state something "bad" happened to me while attending a Masonic event at a private picnic ground. Won't get into details, don't want to be banned, but you can figure it out. Messed me up pretty bad. I didn't tell anyone EVER. I did bad all through school but well enough I went on to college. I never considered myself good looking but growing up I was constantly told that I was. Looking at old photos now, I can see both parents were extremely good looking but being they're your parents never realized that aspect. "You're a tall glass of water",, I heard that many times by folks my parents age. It wasn't until sophomore year at college I had my first kiss. I've more to say but I'll stop here for now and see if this posting will be allowed to stay. I'll check back in a day or two with more on the subject once I find out if the direction I'm going in is appropriate.

Being attractive or handsome is a gift and I think that a person should be able to enjoy it. That is as long as that person isn't an asshole about it. Its not something I will ever have to worry about.

I think it can make it slightly easier to get attention and influence other people.

This would mostly be at work, but in most roles, brains also play a large part.

It is also helpful in shops, gyms, restaurants, other businesses. You get very slightly better treatment. But maybe only 5- 10 % better. It's not going to change the world.

But if it helps you get into acting or modelling etc., that would great.

I've always been fairly good looking, but nothing like a 9 or 9.9 I don't think.

But it's certainly helpful with finding sexual partners.

Sounds good. Tell us a famous person you resemble maybe ?

I've been told its a curse by many people. More so for women than men. Young women, especially, can be sooooooooo bitchy. As for men - it get's you jobs, sex, front row seats, access to restricted clubs. I have a 65 year old friend who is gay and still gets loads of sex because he is VERY handsome (former model), and has a wonderful personality - can really sweet talk the younger guys. AND, he has a big cock that everyone likes to talk about. I'm sure the little blue pill comes in handy for him. Enjoy it and be kind to others.

I believe women are more attracted to handsome men who do not think they are handsome. It means nice natural looking men who do not obsess with mirrors or anything that generates his reflection, become stressed over the alignment of their eyebrows and the size of their pecs, or those who swagger around thinking they are god's gift to women.

It is what it is. I was the classic gawky teenager...very tall..very skinny..just awkward all over. I guess somewhere in my 20's I grew into myself. But I still felt lilke that awkward 15 year old inside.
Over the years been told countless times how i'm hot/handsome/gorgeous/etc. My friends have told me i don't realize how attractive I am. My ex-wife even still says I get more handsome every year. One time a very obnoxious (in a good way) drag queen leaned down to me in the middle of her show and said over the mic, "Wow, you're even beautiful close-up." and then sashayed away looking over her shoulder looking genuinely puzzled she couldnt think of a zippy one-liner.
It's probably helped get me a job or two. But it's probably cost me too. For every person that may be enamored, for lack of a better word, by how u look there is another person threatened maybe due to insecurity or whateveer. So I think it evens out. The universe WILL correct itself for making you beautiful.
Like someone else said, don't overthink it. Take care of yourself. Be kind to animals. Hold the door open for somebody. And don't ever lose that awkward 15 year old inside.

There are much worse things in the world than being handsome. One of them is handsome/beautiful/good looking/9.9s who know it and are so sure of themselves that they become assholes Enjoy it, don't ask questions. don't be an asshole. Luckily you are a dude and don't have to work or try too hard as you age.

That's good advice.

I have only considered myself good looking in the last 10-15 years or so. Before that, compliments on my looks (from men and women) made me feel uncomfortable. Everything is different now. I'm tall, muscular, well proportioned (and more confident!), so I get more compliments and
affectionate glances from both sexes. I simply love it-- and accept it. I also smile and wink. :biggrin1:

Advice, mmmmm,

.Use your handsomeness for the pursuit of good and not evil.

.Help those less handsome than yourself by hiding their mirrors.

To carry out this work you will need a costume.

Oh, my. These grapes are sour!

crunkmunky is talking about the discrepancies that can exist between the way people see themselves and the way other people see them. I can dig it. That can be quite the mindfuck.

It's a worthwhile subject for discussion, in fact. That is, if we can all keep our respective insecurities from steering the conversation to places that aren't constructive.

All these faaaaaaaaaaaabulous looking people, and no pictures.

Not everyone wants their face shown on an internet site about penises.

Including you. Your pictures include your backside, and individual parts of your face, but not a proper full face shot.

It is entirely understandable why some people would not want to show identifiable pictures here, so I think you could tone down the implied criticism, perhaps :confused:

( I was just stroking the attractive stubble on my firm, masculine jaw when I said that ) :wink:
