Too good looking

Does anyone here know someone who claims to dislike being 'too good looking'. I ask because my mate said to me the other day he hates all the attention he gets from his looks. Mainly he thinks that people pre judge him to be arrogant **** because hes good looking.

Is there any truth to this? Is it possible to dislike being good looking? Or do you feel its unneccesary attention seeking?

I think there's certainly truth in that

If you are good looking you have already won half the battle already.

He is actually pretty good looking (from a straight perspective of course) so I don't think he is making it up. He isn't the arrogant type either.

I fail to see how someone can be 'too good looking'. That's ridiculous. So a few girls look at him twice...I could live with that :biggrin:

Well I say too good looking but I mean 'Good looking' I guess. Basically, as said, he finds that his looks lead to prejudgement from people.

yer its horrendous having people eyeing you up all the time. it makes it so much harder to be confident in who you are and admiration from all directions is very disconcerting..

or not.

Ask him to stop complaining and be thankful for the assets that he's blessed with, because he'd be far more depressed if he was the complete opposite in terms of looks. The grass always seems greener on the other side, huh.

So if you were to see someone on par with Brad Pitt in terms of looks walking down the street you wouldn't think 'I bet he thinks hes Gods Gift to women'?

I originally thought this was going to be another thread being all depressed about being good looking like the other ones from the troll.

I doubt being good looking is any kind disadvantage. Quite the opposite actually, people seem to be more drawn to good looking people. I often find they don't have to make as much of an effort (initially obviously) than someone less attractive would have to in the same circumstance.

Not particularly.. depends how he acts- not what he looks like.

Haha, what kind of idiot brings that up in conversation?! :rofl:

Did he say why he thinks this, or did he just start randomly moaning about how good looking he is?

as derek zoolander would say "isn't there more to life than being really really ridiculously good looking?"

maybe he should open up a centre for kids who can't read good and who wanna do other stuff good too!

So this person hates the attention he gets for being good looking. People say i'm good looking but never get any male attention
