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!

My DH is extremely attractive, drop dead gorgeously so. He modelled when younger. Women eye him up the way men eye women up! However, he is the kindest, funniest, loveliest man I have ever met. He was brought up rurally where looks didn’t matter how that much, so he’s not self obsessed or vain like some of my good looking London exes.

He’s mid 40s now, and still very handsome. I’ve seen some video footage of him as a young teenager, he always was v good looking so it’s not because he was an ugly duckling or blossomed. His friends tell me he was the school heartthrob. He has never told me that. He is aware of his attractiveness but it doesn’t really come up much, he finds the attention quite amusing. I totally trust him by the way. He’s just a bloody good egg, despite his good looks!

Very charming and flirtatious, good looking and knows it - and gay.

Idunnowhyibother · 23/08/2022 17:47

My OH is quite stunning - 6'4" black hair, killer jawline and green eyes. If I tell him he's gorgeous he looks nervous and might giggle before saying looks aren't important. Zero confidence. I'm plumply average and usually have women disregard me completely to 'chat' to him 😂
I have had flings with 2 very good looking (and smugly know it) men - one had massive sexual kinks I couldn't cope with in the end and the other I had to phone the police about because he was a flat out psycho. I'll stick with my shy guy thanks who ducks when he sees a mirror!

Does your friend feel this way about attractive women?
Reducing their personalities down to their looks seems absurd.

Unattractive people can be assholes

BOOTS52PollyPrissyPants · 23/08/2022 17:50

Eastie he probably has not tried it on with you as he knows you see right through him and would probably tell him to feck off. Barely see any attractive men anymore but could be my age early 50's. Knew a fewyears and one did not even know he was atttractive but he was gorgeous with beautiful hair but the arrogant ones were nothing much to look at and just thought they were gorgeous. Think people have become more vain now with social media etc and pressure on young people to get fillers, botox etc at such a young age.

miserablecat · 23/08/2022 17:50

I know one (he used to be a model) and I don't know what his behaviour around women is like, but he is quite full of himself

UWhatNow · 23/08/2022 17:51

The straight ones I’ve met are just dead-eyed dull. Pretty but dull.

I know one gay guy who is a model and he’s a bit vain and sex mad but a very nice person.

RudsyFarmer · 23/08/2022 17:54

Looking at old photos of DP he was bloody gorgeous!!! He was in a long term relationship with an older woman for 14 years faithfully and then with me. God knows why he didn’t get busy sowing some oats, but he’s just not like that.

Meseekslookatme · 23/08/2022 17:57

I had a fling with a very attractive man once and he really did have low self esteem ☹️ Poor thing wasn't very bright either, but he was very sweet and loving.

I've known my now partner for many years, we only got together a couple of years ago.
He grew into his looks, he was a tubby nerd when we were younger, he's never been particularly into his appearance, but as he approaches middle age has become one of those guys that people flirt with in the street 🙄 I'm not sure I like it!

Celia24 · 23/08/2022 17:59

Last guy I dated was like this, just beautiful. Singer in a band and women would hit on him - when I was there! It went to his head.

I dumped him because he stopped making an effort and seemed to think that he could keep me by existing. I had a strong feeling he was seeing someone else too. He was fairly arrogant.

It really depends on the guy. Also dated good looking men who were nic too.

Only met one, but he was exceedingly dull

CrapBucket · 23/08/2022 18:06

I know 5 very handsome/beautiful men, imo they are all lovely personality wise too. I don't think they need to have any toughness because people are instantly nice to them.

I don't know them well enough to know if they are shits to their wives though. But they seem loyal and kind.

DrNo007 · 23/08/2022 18:07

I was friends with one for years. He was a great friend but not one for romantic relationships/commitment. He was a retired, wealthy and stunningly handsome physical therapist and was bored by the attention he got from women, which was overt and often outrageous. For example--a woman approached him while he and I drank coffee in a restaurant, wiggled her breasts in his face and cooed, "Ooh, XX [his name], can I come and see you for one of your wonderful sessions; it really helped my neck last time?" His (bored) reply: "No. As you know, I'm retired." All the while she ignored me as if I didn't exist! ( : It was quite amusing from the outside but I felt for him as he just couldn't be bothered and he got such treatment all the time. He is still single, as far as I know, and probably still fending off the women with the proverbial filthy-smelling stick.

MrsWooster · 23/08/2022 18:08

All my nephews are handsome (!) but one is objectively beautiful- headhunted for TOWIE, modelling etc beautiful.
He’s also lovely! He’s aware of what he looks like but doesn’t use it to be a twat. They are out there!

FatherDougalsBlueJumper · 23/08/2022 18:10

I know a couple of very good looking men. One of them is a total dick, the other is lovely but bland. They both dated a string of gorgeous women in their late teens/early 20's but never settled. They are now both struggling to meet women now and I think it's because neither of them learned how to have a decent or interesting conversation. The one who is a dick used to "neg" women to get them interested and that tactic doesn't work as well with busy women in their thirties. The one who is bland just never developed a personality and skated by on his looks.

BeautifulWar · 23/08/2022 18:12

I've known two, both nice and thoroughly decent and well, a bit boring.

FartNRoses · 23/08/2022 18:14

Yep, my first cousin! Very, very good looking. Blondish hair, green eyes, slim and used to be a model.
In his 50’s now and he’s still got it.

Total git, though.

allfurcoatnoknickers · 23/08/2022 18:16

I've known a few over the years:

  1. My BFF. Absolutely gorgeous, he was even annoyingly gorgeous as a teenager - and he knew it. He's not a dick, but is very highly strung and neurotic. His husband is lovely, they seem very much in love.

  2. A friend from growing up who was a high-fashion model for a bit. He walked for some big names at LFW. Also nice, but very entitled, used to people always giving him his own way and opportunities landed in his lap a lot.

  3. Devastatingly handsome man who I shagged when I was a grad student. Sweet guy, total space cadet, rubbish in bed. He was doing a Phd in philosophy and I could only ever figure out about 1/3 of what he was going on about.

  4. The prettiest man I've ever met. Looked like a bloody Michelangelo sculpture come to life. Loads of fun and the absolute best party/getting into trouble partner. Serial shagger. In the time we were friends he went through so many women I couldn't keep track. Not a dick, but an absolute liability. Loved the female attention and loved women.

None of them were horrible.

Work2live · 23/08/2022 18:32

I don’t think there’s a standard really. I knew a lad in uni who was head-turningly gorgeous. He was extremely dull personality-wise.

My DH is gorgeous and definitely a head turner. 6”5, handsome and very into sport/weights so keeps himself in good shape. He doesn’t know how fit he is though, which I think might be the difference 😆

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?

Yep totally agree. The handsome colleague I mentioned has what I can only describe as tombstone teeth and an outsized jaw. They are pristine teeth but it’s all a bit odd.

The men I usually fancy are not conventionally attractive. I find nothing beats intelligence, a nice smile, eyes and a quirky sense of humour. Oh and men who are good with their hands (no, not like that!) and can build/fix things.

FlippertyGibberts · 23/08/2022 19:04

I know one, and he's a really nice person. He's ridiculously handsome, and I just don't / can't fancy him at all 😄.

yasminisa · 23/08/2022 19:27

My younger brother is very handsome, tall, naturally athletic, has women and men eating out of the palm of his hand. He's done some modelling, etc.
he is happily married and very loyal to his wife, who has is a ovarian cancer survivor. She is pretty but not drop dead gorgeous in the modern way, but amazing personality, and he thinks she is the most beautiful Woman on earth
My ex husband is good.oozing and a complete dick

whiteroseredrose · 23/08/2022 19:46

THE most gorgeous bloke at Uni was also utterly lovely.

His girlfriend (from home) was great fun, down to earth and very, well, ordinary looking.
