Things that Suck About Being Handsome
Think being handsome automatically means we have everything easy in life? Think again!
We actually have quite a few problems of our own, just because we have gifted genes and maintain our looks through diet and exercise (well, most of us anyway).
-
Being judged to no end
Being handsome brings a lot of attention, but not all of it is good. It is a common stereotype that when someone is blessed with good genes, they are automatically "selfish" and/or "jerks." If they're nice, then they're labeled "fake" or "gay." In other words, good looks = no other good qualities.
This applies no matter where they are or where they go, even if it's just a trip to the convenience store or a walk down the street. This will never stop until we grow older and people focus their attention on the younger handsome guys.
-
Social situations sucking
When it comes to parties and gatherings, no one wants to talk to us. People from both genders are incredibly intimidated by just our presence. Guys are easily intimidated and become jealous while girls automatically assume that we are taken, we are jerks, or we won't want to talk to any girl "below our standards."
-
Dating lives sucking
Literally, no girls want to talk to us or even be caught looking in our general direction. If we approach "average" girls, they'll assume we're desperate or trying to play them. If we approach attractive girls, they'll also assume that we're players and will take forever to open up to us. There's just no end to the judgment!
-
It being harder to get a job
Studies show that handsome guys are far less likely to get "competitive" jobs because bosses and higher-ups will be incredibly intimidated by the presence of a more handsome guy. This is because handsome men are perceived as more "authoritative" and "competent" since we can attract attention very easily. Even in team situations or jobs that require little to no social interaction, the "big guys" in the workforce are affected just by us being there.
-
Being more sensitive about physical appearance
It's a clear fact that every good-looking person is aware that they're attractive. Any good-looking person who says they aren't is not fooling anyone. This is why we take so much more time than most to make sure we are as presentable as possible. Yet, whenever we can't get our hair just right, gain any weight, or have even the smallest breakout, it can instantly put us in a bad mood.
-
Having little to no friends
As stated above, people are far more likely to judge handsome guys in a negative light. This is why very few people are willing to open up to us or become friends with us. Most of the time, handsome guys are actually very lonely, which is ironic considering how much attention we get.
-
Not liking being gawked at
Guys aren't the only ones who gawk, catcall, and even grope girls. Handsome guys can attract too much attention from the opposite sex even when we're just walking down the street. It can get awkward most of the time, however.
-
Having a lot of expectations placed on us
Handsome guys are not only self-aware of their own blessed looks, but their family and friends are as well. This is why they can also judge us fairly easily when it comes to how we look. We might get a lot of "you're so handsome" from our mothers, and we have to make sure we keep getting that from our mothers. A vast majority of the time, they're the only women in our lives who tell us that on a regular basis.
-
Girls not shutting up about us
-
Not getting any privacy
Lots of attention = little to no privacy. Enough said.
-
?
Being objectified
-
?
Gay men harassing us
Is that what it feels like to be a woman?
-
Women showing unrestrained attraction while walking with someone they are in a relationship with
-
Women being too nervous to talk to us
-
Most girls hitting on us even if we don't like them
Whoever invented the word "playing hard to get" has ruined society at least a little bit.
Unrequited romance is so creepy.
-
Women staring at us at the club but making no moves
-
Feeling instantly guilty the moment we eat even a little bit of junk food
We can't enjoy the sweet things in life because we have a physical appearance we need to keep up. This means far more fruits and vegetables, and far fewer cookies, soda, and chips. When we finally have time to indulge, even just a single chip, we feel instantly guilty and want to throw up from our own pathetic-ness.
Look what happened to Elvis Presley.
-
People talking to us
-
Everything we say being taken in another context
-
People picking on us because they're jealous
-
Having a higher chance of being raped
-
Other guys being rude towards us
-
Having a higher chance of being sexually assaulted
Without question. I've had women who I don't know grab my butt, even testicles, in public spaces or clubs, like it's supposed to be flattering. Tongues down the throat, etc. In short, the behavior many women attribute to men, I've been subject to by women. This is why I think so many are hypocritical, because it certainly cannot be that I am that attractive.
