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!

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!

I agree with this.

My definition of "extremely attractive " is less conventional than most, I think. Generally men I have found attractive have been decent.

I've known two very good looking men in my life. One was a friend whom I had a fling with in my late teens. I loved him (not reciprocal, obviously). He was an idiot though - sleeping with multiple girls at the same time, even in the same friendship group. He was so arrogant, so confident. He's since been married and divorced in quick succession. If he turned up on my doorstep tonight though, as much as I know I shouldn't, I would sleep with him again.

The second was a man I worked with a couple of years ago. He was very good-looking but really friendly and funny, not arrogant at all. As far as I'm aware, he wasn't sleeping around (and he probably would have told me - we had a really close friendship).

One of my friends I used to work with met this man who looked like a young Jude Law. He was always smartly dressed, wore expensive aftershave and knew just what reaction he had on women - he was well known as a serial shagger. She couldn't ever believe her luck that he persued her so relentlessly, and although she was the loveliest person, she was very ahem... "plain jane" and dressed just like her much older Mum. They really did look like such an odd couple. He was fucking vile and he made her life an absolute misery. I only hope that she left him...... he isolated her from everyone in the end.

I think in general there is a correlation with late blooming but cousin was always gorgeous. I remember punching him once as a kid and my aunt said “oh no, it wasn’t his face was it?” and cracked up laughing.

He is utterly down to earth.

DdraigGoch · 24/08/2022 00:29

Married my OH who wasn't nearly as good looking. Turned out he was a bigger asshole than either of them, just much, much better at hiding it.

I think that this is key. Whether someone is good-looking or not has no bearing on whether they're an arse hole inside. It's just that those who are good-looking don't have the same pressure to present an acceptable personality to the outside world.

DeeCeeCherry · 24/08/2022 00:29

DP is handsome. He's a nice enough man. But people's personalities aren't necessarily determined by looks anyway, and there's way too much fuss and attention on handsome men.

Obsession with looks = women will judge a man they'd love to be with but know they won't, via scorning his supposed personality.

It's silly, and no different than men saying attractive women are brainless or some such

humanwinginglife · 24/08/2022 00:41

The one I know has broke my heart even though I truly thought he was different. Maybe he is, but recently, I'm beginning to wonder whether he was the person I thought he was or whether he played me more than I've ever known.

Rounddog · 24/08/2022 00:44

I know quite a few absolutely gorgeous men as I studied, worked with and now teach predominantly men in a STEM area which is particularly dominated by them. Generally speaking there hasn’t been a correlation between looks and dickhead character traits in my experience. I’ve met ugly dickheads and attractive dickheads but plenty of extremely attractive guys are very nice too. Also I know loads and loads of nice looking (not drop dead gorgeous) men who are very nice too.

stressingOout · 24/08/2022 00:46

I dated one a few years ago. Not only was he stunning, but he happened to be a professional athlete.

He was charming to begin with, but within 6 months the mask slipped. The most revoltingly cocksure person I’ve ever met. He loved starting pointless debates and going on and on about how stupid those around him were.

WandaWomblesaurus · 24/08/2022 01:30

Other way round for me - the good looking ones treated me better and the average guys were horrible and dragged me down emotionally out of insecurity.

Watchthesunrise · 24/08/2022 04:48

My brother is attractive and a pilot and a very very nice guy.

I think the blossoming later in life thing is true. He was 21 before he was popular or good looking. It made him nice.

Steelandsparkles · 24/08/2022 12:38

The worst thing about this thread is, it took me ages to think of any really really attractive men I know!

I have remembered two: one I’ve known since age 12 and has always been extremely good looking and is lovely. A real gent, goofy, humble and sweet. Not the most intelligent man but a really good guy and he has kept his looks (late 40s now).

The other I met in my 20s; he was gorgeous, sexy, successful, won a ‘most eligible bachelor’ award etc and about ten years ago was charged with sex offences with a minor.

I had an incredibly gorgeous friend at uni. Women, including me, swooned over him. He was a very nice guy indeed. Now happily married with two children, hasn’t aged at all well, but is still a super nice bloke.

ViciousCurrentBun · 16/03/2024 03:21

I have known three extremely attractive men well so can comment on what they are like. I know it’s all a bit subjective but I would reckon the majority would find them attractive. All were lovely, one exceptionally so. The other is my DS, I know, I know but honestly since he was about 16 women absolutely gawp at him. His GF told me that even her gay housemate was ooh you are like a Greek God. What’s funny is he is a bit of a nerd and not at all vain. He is 6ft 5 and a very athletic build and due to his heritage he has the most beautiful olive tone skin. He was very unaware as a teen. He came home when he was about 17 and described an interaction with a woman, it was so obvious she was flirting with him, he was blissfully unaware and went back to playing Minecraft.

decionsdecisions62 · 16/03/2024 04:49

I can guarantee that most of these men posters say are 'extremely attractive' to everyone and aren't they lucky they married them, are actually average looking. There's a certain degree of bias at play!

SizzlerFizzler · 23/08/2022 17:16

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

I have a close friend like this - lots of comments about how gorgeous her dh is and how it’s really difficult to be married to him because all her friends fancy him. Not only is he very average looking but he’s also one of the dullest men I’ve ever met 😄

Dizzydawn88 · 16/03/2024 05:53

I chat to an attractive well known ish person on social media and he is absolutely lovely. He doesn’t have to answer me and gets nothing out of it personally. I’m not naming who it is ha!
