What would you say are some common misconceptions about being attractive?

Here are some:

People will constantly tell you how attractive you are:

Ok this is just wrong. I mean sure if you're attractive you'll probably receive some compliments, but it's not like people will just walk up and tell you that. I mean think about it. If you saw someone whos attractive just walking down the street would you just walk up and tell them that? It takes a lot of nerve to do something like that, not to mention it can come off as creepy. Usually people will talk about it behind your back rather than to your face, or if people do they will usually be of the same gender since it isn't as intimidating that way. You may have some people of the opposite gender tell you you're attractive but those wont be the majority.

Everyone stares at you:

Attractive people will definitely receive much more stares than average people but it's not like everyone will just openly stare at them 24/7. This is especially true if it's in a crowded area with many people. When people are walking down the street or whatever they're usually just minding their own business and aren't busy staring at everyones faces. If people do stare at you the majority of the time it will be when they think you aren't looking to avoid coming off as creepy. Or they might look at you for a brief moment but quickly look away as to not make it obvious.

You'll constantly be asked out and rarely be single:

Again no! Most people will try to let you know they like you through subtle cues and then move on from there.

Also you can be single your whole life and still be attractive. Let's say you're introverted and dont approach people often. This will be especially hard to find a date as many people are intimated of attractive people and get nervous to approach them, so you usually have to be the one to make the first move. Attractive people also often have higher standards so they might think most people aren't up to their league. Also if you have a bad personality or are a douchebag no amount of good looks are gonna make people want you. It can also just be that you dont know many people or the ones you do are already taken.

You don't get any matches on dating profiles:

Ok if you don't get any matches than its likely that you arent very attracitve in the pics you're using. However some people simply aren't photogenic and are way better in real life. It could also be that you have a boring profile or something about rubs people the wrong way. For example if you say "I'm not interested in a relationship, I just want to fuck" many wouldnt swipe since it seems like you're just interested in sex and nothing else.

But these are just some common misconceptions I've seen. Do you have any other you'd add?

Yeah I 100% agree with everything you just said. I think it's absolutely ridiculous how people assume attractive people turn the heads of every single person they walk by. Like people can't even see you if you're not even in their line of vision, and its not like people turn their head to see what everyone whom they pass by looks like. What's even worse is when people say things like "if you were so good looking, than why don't you have a girlfriend"? Like just because I'm good looking doesnt mean people are gonna come up to me and be like "hey Idk you or anything, but can I be your girlfriend"? I'm an introverted person, I don't even approach people very often which is usually expected of you if you're a guy.

Same I wouldn't say I'm introverted but I def can't approach girls with confidence.

Most girls lose interest in me because they think I'm a narcissist. I do get quite a bit of stares but after interacting with girls after a little while they lose interest

I'm more paranoid than the average person. So...I tend to catch more people looking at me than most attractive guys. I have a friend actually who I've known since middle school who also has that problem with feeling like he's constantly being watched. I'd say he's on par with me in terms of looks. Maybe slightly better because of his ears.

No that isn't true at all. I'm an extremely good looking guy. I get more attention than anyone I know. Girls literally come up to me and grope me in public Im not even kidding. Ive had people turn around on the street to follow me. I had one person follow me all the way home. I have at least 20 girls a day come up and ask me for my number. When I go to the store everyone stops what they're doing to stare at me and then follow me around. When I went on Tinder I got over 500 girls messaging me in a day. One time I went to a restraunt and every single worker stopped serving the customers just to come and flirt with me. I have people stop on the street to take pictures of me. One time I was riding on a bus and every single girl on there was ogling me. Even the bus driver kept looking through her mirror to get a glance at me.

Yeah we have very similar experiences lmao. Your def more attractive though lmfaooo now that I've seen what you look like.

I'm sorry but no this answer is a lie. You're extremely good looking, definitely movie star handsome, but being constantly groped in public?? Even Brad Pitt probably wouldnt have that happen to him. Also its nearly impossible to recieve that many Tinder messages in a day. And the part where you said every restraunt worker stopped working to flirt with you was laughably fake. I have no doubt you get a lot of female attention, probably more so than 99% of guys, but there's just no way some of this is real.

You are right. No doubt he is good looking but this is an overreaction.
