Good looks, Good looking people, praise etc.

I'm think I'm good looking, I'm not praising myelf

but does anyone think there is pressure amongst Good looking people of both sexes? growing up, do you think you get more chances in life, I didnt have an easy life, just the norm I guess. I'm not special and there are of course better looking people out there.

At times its hard to take praise from people "you're so good looking" all the time, I Myself would go for the best looking women naturally,
Other times I take it for granted knowing a girl would come up to me,and get a dat without to much effort, nor is it always the case. i don't mean this to be cocky.
but its not always succesful, Not all god looking people are succesful with date either I'd put myself into this category ,A lot of people say good looking people are successful all the time , Its about confidence and attractiveness .

I also find that people of the same sex can be very envious and jelous.
I'd even say most good looking people are insecure.
Sometimes to me anyway , its hell pressure. Finding out why people say that or whatever it is other times i dont even be aware of, My Parents never told me I was good looking, but all my Aunts and Parents friends did and some mates do, My sister who is also very good looking too and she gets a lot of attention too.

anyway just thought i'd start a big thread for people who love themselves
just kidding..

Binomate · 13-11-2005 02:04PM

I have to say that in my experiences most of the very very good looking people I have come across seem to have their head right up their arse. Maybe they face the pressures of becoming like this.

CerebralCortex · 13-11-2005 02:08PM

Dude everyone is good looking they just need exercise.
Get over yourself you must have little to think about.

dundalk cailin · 13-11-2005 02:09PM

Bitter anyone?

Being the object of other people's envy is a very real psychological burden, particularly for women. Unfortunately it's difficult for people who suffer this burden to be taken seriously about it, precisely because of this envy.

To the OP: check out www.beautifulpeople.net to join a community of similar people (you have to be voted in by existing members based on a photo). They charge for forum access after a while if you get accepted, but you get a few weeks free. There are a few arrogant narcissists on it, as to be expected, but they're easy to ignore.

daRobot · 13-11-2005 02:19PM

One of the most beautiful things for me, is when a really hot girl is humble about her looks and realises that it's all temporary.Character and personality will always outlast looks.

People who feel themselves to be a 'victim' of their looks are utterly narcissistic, people generally won't dislike you for looking well, but they most certainly will dislike you for assuming you're any better then them because of your bone structure.

Simply,it's the vibe that you give off that would cause the negativity, not your looks.

totally agree, ive fallen for guys who had great personality, that werent models, but they grew on me..far easier to like someone thats not hung up on their looks, and u think that everyone's lookin at u, sayin what is she doing with someone like him

JackKelly · 13-11-2005 02:22PM

wow. Don't know what to think of this thread. I was going to just say STFU but it is something i have wondered before. It seems to be treated as "big headed" etc to think of yourself as good looking but surely, if you are good looking you are good looking.
Take models for example, who's job it is to be beautiful. It's undeniable that they are pretty/handsome, so why is it so bad for them to say it themselves?

In saying that, i do dislike people in love with themselves as much as the next person, but i don't know why.

daRobot · 13-11-2005 02:27PM

It's fine to recognise that you're attractive, and even say it ,but putting yourself on a pedestal and expecting some kind of demi-god worship is what's nuts imo.

There are lots of people out there who will begrudge you for anything you have that they don't, whether it's looks, money, success, happiness, whatever. I find women to be particularly bitchy about better-looking women (behind their backs, of course).

Who said anything about expecting worship? In fact, it seems to be quite the opposite that's the case in this chap's life.

That comment is in relation to how good looking people can be perceived as arrogant, and isn't about the 'op'

Yeah, people will begrudge you for anything sometimes, but for me, I think a lot of this 'looks envy' is brought on by the person themselves

Dizzyblabla · 13-11-2005 03:19PM

I think that sometimes confidence can make an average person far more attractive than a cocky good looking person. It's how you carry yourself moreso than anything else.
A trophy g/f or b/f is fine when young, but you have to have the personality behind the looks to make it last I think...

Truest thing said so far in theis thread.

mysterious · 13-11-2005 03:41PM

What a reaction !:eek:
I wanted other people's views, not about me I was just giving my perspective on it, If some people think I'm ugly thats fine , thats not a problem to me. Every ones tastes are different. I might of came across as up it, but didnt intend to in that way. hope it didnt put anyones shoes and feet flyin, thats all so will some of ye go get therapy, there are times i dont think i'm good looking, I was taking things a little lighty, obviously that is not the reaction. This thread is not about me and never intended to be either, and I don't care if you think I'm cocky are what else you might like to think, Opinions are like assholes at times

So lighten up,
I wanted to talk about Good looks, praise and how people percieve themselves and how they see good looking people what else might spark off your brain , jeez
Chill out the lot of ye...

If this thread is not about you, then it is not a PI.

Moved to After Hours.

My apologies I was'nt aware of that, I ddint think where else to put it, But yes I see everyones point,:o

miss_gonzo · 13-11-2005 04:52PM

go piss up a flag pole, mr good looking

LadyJ · 13-11-2005 04:58PM

I find it a bit stupid that some people are getting so touchy about this.

If the man had put up a thread to start a discussion about how to cope with being "ugly" then everyone would be full of advice and tell him to find the beauty within etc. However,some people are reacting so bitterly that it proves the point that life's tough when you're pretty! And people can have bad attitudes towards those who are.

I don't know about "ugly" but they're all clearly insecure!
It comes down to people being unhappy with themselves and taking it out on others who look the way they wish they did.

NoDayBut2Day · 13-11-2005 05:16PM

If there's one thing I can't stand, it's a good looking guy who is so arrogant about his looks that it just blinds him and he thinks he's *that much* better than everyone else and everybody *owes* him something. It's totally sick.

Character is what matters in the end. And besides, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What's beautiful to one person may be not so attractive to someone else ... so what is beauty? And what is ugliness? Just a person's perspective.

If I happen to meet a good looking girl in a social situation or in the workplace, I find myself distancing myself from her as I've found int he past that good looking people are all style and no substance and have developed little or no redeeming personality traits. Sure, I think both sexes like to look at attractive people, but would rather have a relationship with someone who has a fully formed personality, regardless of looks. Good looking people (like youself mysterious :rolleyes:), as you have stated, tend to know they're good looking, which in my book (if I meet a girl who is attractive), could not be any less attractive.

I wouldn't regard myself as good looking, I don't care though. If a girl is going to look at me and disregard me because I don't look like Brad Pitt/Tom Cruise, I'm glad; I wouldn't want to be with someone who is so shallow anyway. In my life, I've also found, people who come out and make statements of how good looking they are actually have no basis for this, they say these things in hope someone will echo them; a mark of insecurity. Why do people care what they look like?, to get more sex?, why?

Why is it in our society, that people who have well formed faces, bodies etc. are held in higher regard and are taken more seriously than say a person with a lovely personality who doesn't have stellar looks?, it's so unfair. I think for someone to start a thread about it is a bit silly really, it's like you're saying to us, hey - I'm really good looking, how about that?

All I can say is

GOOD FOR YOU MYSTERIOUS!

That's a complete generalisation of the people who are replying here LadyJ, you must realise how farcial it sounds when someone starts a thread dedicated to their good looks. I'm in no way jealous of handsome/good looking men, I don't care if they get all the girls, what difference does it all make?. You say that we 'insecure' types wish we looked the way good looking people did, I don't, I'd rather be dumb and clever than pretty and stupid.

What utter nonsense!
And then you come out with:

Clearly you don't take anyone seriously if you think they look good and that's just completely prejudiced!
