What is it like to be a very good looking guy?

[tuxedo cat]

And I mean objectively very good-looking with a movie star handsome face--not somebody who is simply well groomed and in shape.

 

Do you have women throw themselves at you constantly? Do you rarely approach women? Do you find it harder to commit? Do you place a high value in the attractiveness of your partners? Or do you resent the attention you get for your looks and try to remove yourself from it?

 

We often hear about the experiences of beautiful women but I've always been curious about what it's like for a guy to be very physically attractive, partly because I think it is rare for men to be objectified for their looks so it must be an odd feeling for them.

I could not even beging to comprehend. Have we any posters on this site who would like to speak up?

 

I would imagine he would be in a similar position as an average women: getting hit on when he goes out.

iKing is the only one I can think of but I haven't seen pictures of many members.

I like to think of myself as very good looking.

 

Nothing out of the ordinary though. I am more of a reserved person in real life.

 

I never was the type to go out and look for casual flings. I took things one day at a time and enjoyed life.

Not that I need to prove anything, but feel free to browse my photo albums.

Talk about a loaded question!!!

[Treasa]

There are many good-looking men and women on this site, and I think they're just being modest.

[tbf]

Come on guys, anty up. Be honest.

[Weezy1973]

Hilarious! The two really good looking guys I know are kinda clueless about how good looking they are. Pretty sure this thread is going to die a slow, painful death...

[KathyM]

Well, since you asked and this thread is about to die from lack of any good looking men on this board, apparently, , I'll give you a picture of what my son and husband go through. My son is 21 and a very handsome guy. All my sons are good looking guys, but the one is like a young David Beckham, with model good looks. Girls turn their heads to stare when he walks by, or they purposely walk past him to smile and say hello. They come up to him at parties to kiss him and to give him their phone number, even though he has shown no interest in them. He has girls crushing on him who won't leave him alone. He has hotties getting the word out to him through their friends that they are interested. (Hotties don't approach men, so they use other means if they are interested).

 

My husband is happily married to me , but when he was single, he could go out on any given night and get five phone numbers a night from women who had model good looks. He still has women approaching him at the grocery store to touch him and flirt with him. He has women pursuing him even though they know that he is married, and they don't give up, despite his firm boundary setting. They keep their foot in the door in the hopes that someday there will be an opportunity for them.

 

So for me and my guys, it's an annoyance, because of the unwanted attention from people.

[tbf]

To keep this going, I asked my husband. He gave me a weird look and said "Are you on that crazy site again?"

It doesn't suck.

TC, I'm really hoping this goes to plan and all the hot men of LS come in here.

And send us photos for validity.

I've cleared my inbox

I couldn't just "like" this post. I had to also TELL you that I like this post

Lets hope the men like it too!

 

But I bet they pick now to be modest. Of all times.

[gaius]

Taylor Lautner kind of devalued the definition of movie star looks, so I'm pretty sure at least 25% of the guys of LS qualify for that now.

There was a time when I got into very good shape and dressed GQ. I went for a modeling/acting call and got chosen 10 guys out of 100 that showed up in NYC. You do get a lot of attention. I was a fat kid and was very shy so I wasn't ready all the time to back the looks up with the appearance of confidence or had the perfect thing to say. But seriously, girls would ask me for directions that didn't need directions. If I were on a subway and grunted displeasure with the train stopping I'd have a girl saying "excuse me?" to initiate a conversation, next thing numbers were being exchanged. I had a sparky encounter with a cosmetics executive who was gorgeous and gave me her number. Went there. I wasn't the best looking dude in the world but I was compared a lot to James Brolin (Josh Brolin's dad when he was young and on TV). Occasionally I'd be riding the subway lost in thought and smiling about something that had amused me only to look up and see women quickly look away like they didn't want to be caught gawking. I got on the train once and heard one older lady say to the other "now that's the way a man SHOULD look". It's a wonderful thing to be tall and handsome and dressed like your clothes were made for you. Unfortunately I'm plagued with recurring obesity problems and the whole thing shifts. If you're over weight but good looking then you get looks from lower tier lookers and heavy girls. Just how it is. I don't have a lot of pix but I think these flatter. No way did I ever have a "six pack" or have those kinds of European model looks. I think it's the height and the dimples and blue eyes that seem to catch the good-looking ladies eye.

Those guys aren't on Love Shack.

[johan]

It's both a blessing and a curse.

A lot of nonsense in this thread. I have plenty of friends who look like fitness models both in the face and body and they don't get approached by women at all...outside of maybe the obese drunken ones at club that nobody really wants (let's be honest)

 

I got a friend who looks like this - http://cdn2.sbnation.com/imported_assets/1470373/luke-guldan.jpg

 

I got another friend who looks like this - http://www.cutandjacked.com/sites/default/files/images/interviews_men/Lazar_angelov/scr2_lazar.jpg

 

And the only girlfriends they've ever had are ones that they met through social circle/work/school/etc... and knew for a while

 

Women aren't interested in men like that, nowhere near actually. Good looking men get a lot of attention...from gay men but that's about it

From the way you've written your post, I'm presuming these aren't pics of your actual friends. If they are, my apologies. No insult intended.

 

Both the pics linked vibe like they're batting for the other team which is the reason they attract gay men. Their vibe was noticeable to me prior to reading your last paragraph.

[Lani]

Those guys aren't on Love Shack.

 

Some of them like to think they are, so I guess we call their bluff here!

And.. you are here

[tbf]

both guys are straight and fairly masculine looking. The second dude is extremely masculine looking.

Thank you for telling me what to think. Because you said so, does this mean I must agree?

 

I told you my honest opinion as a woman. If a guy vibes gay, less women are going to flock. Some guys can look masculine but their facial expressions, body language and/or voice/speech patterns can still vibe gay.

 

There's this business contact of mine where he's a very good-looking man, divorced with two daughters. But...my gaydar kept whooping until one day, he left our industry and opened up a designer chocolate shop. Then he finally came out.

[foreverandalways]

Girls probably dont initiate conversation that much with gorgeous men, because if they think like me...they are probably afraid of being rejected. I would think there is no way he would want to go out with me, because he probably only dates super hot women, like model types.

 

Additionally, I dont know if I would like dating a guy out of my proverbial league. I think it would make me slightly insecure about myself, I wouldn't want women all over him. I'd also wonder if he was a womanizer and would leave me for someone better looking than me.

 

I know, all generalizations and they're not fair. But it's how I feel. Take it or leave it.

[gaius]

I think the guy from this thread is better looking than Shia Lebouf. Apparently he isn't having much success, so it must be an energy thing.
