If you know any extremely attractive men, what are they like?

A weird question, I know😁 I was discussing this with a friend and she said every v attractive man she knows is a bit of a dick, rude, cheats or generally treats the women in his life badly. I know about 4 men I consider extremely attractive (head turners who multiple women and men find attractive). One is awful but the others are, as far as I know, very nice decent men. Friend is convinced good looks = guaranteed horrible behaviour!

This is MNs so of course everyone is married to a extremely good looking man. Just like everyone has stunning & super tall dc 😆

I’m mystified by the ones who genuinely don’t seem to realise how attractive they are and oblivious to women who throw themselves at them. I mean they might be acting but one guy I know like this honestly does not seem to notice. He is very serious, shy and rarely responds to the huge amount of flirting that comes his way. He’s definitely into women and once told me he worries about being turned down. I honestly don’t think it’s fake modesty.

Also like the example of Hugh Jackman who is gorgeous but seems so grounded and still with his wife. Don't remember there ever being rumours of him cheating or being a general entitled Hollywood jack ass.

Interested in this thread?

I have a theory that men who were very good looking as teens end up as dicks

But those who blossomed later are usually not

This is only based on about two examples though so not exactly scientifically proven!

My dd was at secondary school with identical twin boys. Both very good looking, both very popular. One was an almighty twat, the other wasn't.

The guy I know is lovely. He is also gay

GoldPig · 23/08/2022 17:07

I’ve dated two exceptionally beautiful men. I’m quite average. One knew his appeal and was a tosser. The other was less confident and a little dull but nice, and remains very very attractive. DH is about as pretty as me and also sexy with it - much more about the way he carries himself than features. He was popular at school apparently (I wasn’t) but it doesn’t seem to have spoiled him. Plus he’s bald 😂

Once knew an extremely attractive man, intelligent and very witty.
Sadly he was as tight as two coats of paint.

DoThePropeller · 23/08/2022 17:11

Most attractive man I know is a twat of the highest order. Arrogant, cheats on his wife, everything just comes far too easily to him.

GrouchyKiwi · 23/08/2022 17:16

One of DH's friends is extremely handsome (and was as a teen too, according to DH). He is really kind and caring, was very popular at school but didn't care about that and was a good friend to my DH, who was bullied for being different.

I don't know him well enough to know what he's like with women, but he's lovely with our three little daughters.

Yeah I'm discounting all the people who are claiming their husband as Most Handsome Man. They might be glorious specimens of manhood of course, but we all know a woman who swears that everyone fancies their (very ordinary looking) fella! Grin

Janie94 · 23/08/2022 17:16

I never find attractive men attractive! If that makes any sense. I am much more attracted to slightly less attractive, but still attractive men, I really like a reserved man who's a bit mysterious.
Very attractive men just don't do it for me!

However I recently only just noticed how attractive Darius Danesh was...omg my 10 year old self did not realise this at the time!

Mardyface · 23/08/2022 17:17

Now I'm middle aged I find handsomeness really odd, like handsome men's faces always have something too handsome about them such as a ginormous jaw or eyes that are ridiculously large? And if someone is a twat the less handsome they are to me - really honestly through my eyes, not just in my opinion. My H is much fitter now than when I met him, but I don't know if that is objectively true or just because I like him and he has twinkly eyes? It's all about twinkly eyes in the end, isn't it?

ShirleyJackson · 23/08/2022 17:21

I don’t know any. Never really have.

I never fancy pretty boys anyway. I like tough-looking and grizzled.

Mardyface · 23/08/2022 17:21

AND also middle aged men who have always been attractive always have some kind of 'smooch' move that has been successful as a young man - like a grin, or a particular movement of the eyes - that looks really weird on a grown up older man.

hellcatspangle · 23/08/2022 17:24

I only know one, and although he is always chatty and easy to get along with, I've always had the feeling I couldn't trust him as far as I could throw him (no evidence of any wrongdoing!)

Philandbill · 23/08/2022 17:26

Yes, I know a very handsome man, have known him for many years, he's married to a good friend of mine. Knew them both before they got together and they make a stunning couple as she is beautiful. He's a nice man, treats his wife very well and is a very involved dad. They're not all self involved twits but I think that he may be the exception that proves the rule...

I love this, I agree with the twinkly eyes making someone gorgeous, I always end up trying to explain this to baffled friendsGrin. The presence or absence of twinkly eyes is pretty much what makes someone attractive!

@Mardyface yes true, eg there is a very annoying 'cute' face Harrison Ford does

Ex Dh. Psychopath.

PrettyIndigo · 23/08/2022 17:31

My ex looked like Tom hardy, women would constantly stare at him with their mouths wide open, and he was often approached by women who thought he was the real Tom hardy.

He was an absolute twat. He was so vain and arrogant, thought he deserved everything on a plate because of his looks, didn't work, had no desire to work, had no friends because he was so insufferable to be around. Thought he was right about everything, took no ones feelings into consideration but his own. Also, he was abusive in many different ways. Oh, he was terrible in bed too. I stayed for 4 years too long in that relationship

However it made me feel sorry for the real tom hardy as It made me realise just how many women must oggle him/approach him 😂

FartNRoses · 23/08/2022 17:32

@Surtsey i don’t suppose you’re in London, are you? 😉

Decidualcast · 23/08/2022 17:34

I had a date with an exquisitely gorgeous man, who was kind and funny. I didn’t pursue it any further as he was married and polyamourous (as is his wife) but we are still good friends. I wouldn’t describe him as an arsehole at all. I’m from a family with extremely good looking men - again, kind and decent.

yonce · 23/08/2022 17:35

I work with one and he's fab! He's tall and handsome, but such a nice person too. He's very intelligent and actually tries to have conversations with people. He's popular with the ladies, but more because he treats us like actual people in work (financial roles) rather than being the generic pale male and stale colleagues we're used to. I think it's partly just who he is, partly his religion and partly his lovely older sister who's made him so lovely.

BadNomad · 23/08/2022 17:36

Some ugly men are twats too. It's not about looks, it's just their personalities.
