Do men with beautiful or perfect faces seem to get punched in the face more often?

Well justin beiber gets a certain amount of hatred but his personality kind of warrants that sort of expression. Me on the other hand...well my personality can beat anyone's dad any day of the week and my rugged manly jawline along with god given eye lashes does seem to incur the wrath of men scorned by unsightliness. I mean i can kind of understand it. Sometimes i quite literally want to punch myself in a surreal fit of lust and jealousy. Seriously i'm so pretty disney wanted to cross gender labels just to artistically render me as one of their many princessesseesss. Hell even my shadow has stalkers. And there was the one time after a really good workout where i sweat a bushel of sunflowers. Yeah try explaining that to your personal trainer.
LOOOOL

I'm with you on the long eyelashes, though I've never experienced jealousy from men I have from a few girls I know at school lol. All playfully of course but apparently along with the lashes I have really good nails, as my friend says; that most women would want.
She's says its because of my long nail bed and it would give lots of room for nail design.

I don't think it's so far fetched. Beauty is a standout feature, it attracts attention for a start. This won't go down well with the 100% crowd, but is it possible that male beauty (particularly of the long-lashed, deep nailbed sort) provokes an unwelcome response in other males, almost an unconscious homoerotic response, that is felt as a provocation? Hence lashing out at the source of discomfort, a need to deface that beauty. Cod psychology, I know. Okay, come at me guys...

If it does it hasn't happened to me women, on multiple accounts, are the only ones that were "provoked" or have made "jealous" comments about its to me such as wishing they had my nails or eye lashes. I don't think guys really notice that type of thing. I didn't even know why my nails were nice until she explained it to me

I wouldn't necessarily think that your theory was far fetched if it could be applied to a tendency. But from what I've experienced, the idea of beautiful men being at higher risk of receiving a punch to the face is one that's pulled out of thin air. Everything I've seen suggests that it's far more risky to challenge society's perception of beauty.

Maybe you are less beautiful than you've been led to believe? When someone compliments you on your 'nice hands' or 'pretty nails', that's like saying you're really plain, they are struggling to find a positive ;) Only kidding, sure you are a dish.

It's certainly possible. It's not as if I ever did post-fight interviews and carefully tracked all my data.

It could even be something much more simple, like people being envious of a prettier face and wanting to reduce the advantage of a competitor, but for this kind of conclusion I am not going to trust "gut instinct."

Perhaps it is a bit fanciful

Well i don't know if you knew this but sometimes instead of posting a real response...i'll sometimes post goofy or comedic things. Although i have had women follow me threw malls with large tweezers and do have shadow stalkers (of which the cops are doing nothing ok?). I do think there is a bit to what you said. Though as hatt said...it isn't over eye lashes and finger tips.

And i'm guessing by cod psychology you mean call of duty? If so yeah but once again those guys aren't exactly fans of the supposed "pc" culture. So maybe these aren't the 100% straights your looking for? :p

To be fair the person I used to know who got punched very regularly used to show off, and do a lot of attention seeking, peacock type behaviour. He would do outlandish and theatrical flirting with women everywhere he went. He would befriend the checkout girls at the supermarket because he didn't want to pay for his shopping, or not all of it anyway. He told me that on his way to a festival once in his teens, an older woman had sex with him in a field, AND gave him £20 afterwards, which he was thrilled to bits about at the time.

Fair enough if I'm seeing or making up a pattern where there isn't one though. It most probably does have more to do with personality rather than appearance.

No I've never been punched in the face before, and not to be narcissistic but I am pretty facially attractive. I am also a very likeable person and easy to get along with so I don't really have confrontations with people. Maybe those other people are just bad people.
So. If you saw a man with facial bruising you would assume that he was a bad person? That is quite disturbing. What if he was a victim of domestic violence?

Poor Justin Bieber :(. The personality grew to accompany the face though I think.

I would say that is more likely to result in violent behavior in others than simply being good-looking, but as I said before that is hardly a proper empirical opinion. :D

If someone gets attacked violently on a regular basis, either he is in a really bad neighborhood, or doing something to instigate it.

Of course, the instigation in and of itself may or may not be an indication of a character flaw, but a character flaw in those doing the attacking. There are white people in America who got lynched by other white people basically for not being racist enough, to name one rather extreme example.

Ah, but if you were a young man out with your partner, and she kept looking at him, and he totally ignored you, you can't very well hit her can you?

That's not what I said at all don't know what you're reading into I didn't even mention bruises. I said if they are getting beat up because they are good looking maybe they are a bad person as in a narcacist, it's before my time but it's like how all the smurfs didn't like vanity because he was self centred or when they would kick brainy out of the town because he acted like he was so much smarter than all of them.

:) Sorry, but using smurfs to illustrate your point hasn't particularly helped, though it is funny :D. Perhaps it was before my time too, or perhaps I am too old and decrepit to remember the smurfs, and the smurf characters and smurf storylines :D. So, still no idea what you actually meano_O, but I have taken on board that I misinterpreted your post.

Ya you did misunderstand it. Ok basically in the show a character acted like an ass and was booted out or disliked by the others character. Smurf was on I. The 80s so it's before my time im sure others here know more about the show than I do.

So as I said and Oxnard kind of said the same thing, if a good looking guy is betting punched regularly it is most likely because they are a bad person as in bad personality, a douche/a fuckboy/an asshole basically a person that instigates people reacting negatives towards them. Understand now?

Look. Stop with the smurfs. I think you just need to accept that trying to explain anything remotely smurf to me is just going to go right over my head. :rolleyes: Goodness me, I think I can guess which subject you're studying at uni; is it SMURFS by any chance?! Are you studying for your phD so you can be a doctor of smurfology?

I can accept that the general flavour of the whole thread is that I am incorrect.
