I was out last night bowling with a group of guys..cool guys..not my closest friends.

and we were talking about how last week at bowling this woman that wasnt there was flirting with me a lot. And one of the guys said yea well its easy when your a pretty boy.

then an hour later I was discussing the game with another guy who called me a pretty boy as well.

what is a pretty boy..its not like I look like a gay male model or something.

I get it all the time Friv. Unfortunately, you just gotta deal with it. If the guys who called you that were really insecure, they'd be calling you gay.

When a guy calls you a pretty boy it's means the are jealous and insecure. If a woman calls you that it means something entirely different.

you can see a pic of me in a yellow shirt when I was skinny..that was before my long LTR..that was when the girls seemed to like me :)

and you can see me in the hospital bed with my new born..that was 16 months ago..but i'm pretty much that size right now..in that picture I was dead tired obviously.

I really think I look more like a rugged guy then a pretty boy...I guess it would be different if a woman said it.

those dudes should be happy they arent 5'7" like me...but then again if I had to choose ugly and tall or short and decent..ill be short

I've been told I attract women because I have a "baby face". I usually just fire back, "No dumb****, it's because I know what I'm doing."

I think it's funny when men get honest about how other men look. Using the terms "baby face" or "pretty boy" could be likened to saying "he has a curvy ass". Don't worry about their thoughts on how you look. It won't (or shouldn't) have any effect on how well you attract women.

I get this comment a lot too. Sometimes people say it out of jealousy or insecurity, but I make room for the fact that sometimes people are just being complimentary. It does have its negative connotations too because we men want to be "manly" not pretty. Others have advised me to never commit a violent crime, because I'd most likely be some man's "bitc*" in prison.

My looks has helped me, but it isn't even close to everything. Using and applying DJ principles to my life are far more important, I think.

exactly....am I good looking? probably...if I wasnt atleast attractive I wouldnt have the success Ive had. But I honestly have no idea how I really look to women..I grew up and my best friends were all extremely attractive guys so I figured I was ugly until I got to this place.

but I owe a lot of to this place and the dj bible.
 

It doesn't matter how good-looking you are, how romantic you are, how funny you are... or anything else. If she doesn't have something INVESTED in you and the relationship, preferably quite a LOT invested, she'll dump you, without even the slightest hesitation, as soon as someone a little more "interesting" comes along.

Another thing about looks/being pretty is that individual women will still have their particular preferences. For example, if a woman goes for the beefy/muscular linebacker type body, I'm just not going to have a chance with her. Also, I think some women like that blue-collar/rough look that certain guys have too. I won't win those either.

So, you can't win them all no matter how you look. Even Matt Damien (sexy man of the year, something-or-other) is not going to be many women's preferred look.

Another group of guys that believe that all it takes is looks.

Yup, mislead individuals they are. This reminds me of laddertheory.com. The author there estimates approximate 20% in the woman's pie allocated to looks.* That's probably about right.

* And of that 20%, i'd say at least half of that is completely in your control (taking care of your body)

I must say this..

right now my game is at an all time high becuase given the fact I have a court date in 2 days regarding custody of my child...I have no vested interest in being with women or any kind right now.

translation I dont give a ****....the last 2 weeks all the guys have been bragging to each other how I have been knocking it out of the park and funny as ****. last night I was rolling stuff out for about 3 min that had everyone about to piss themselves...

all because I dont give a **** right now.

I truely hope I can keep this no fear attitude when im dating again

I don't think you're a "pretty boy" either. It might be because you have a nice smile or it's your attitude? Or maybe your friends are just so butt ugly compared to you. In my circle of friends I consider myself the "ugly friend". lol


Whatever the case you're a good looking guy, friv.

That's a "pretty boy" right there. I'd take rugged too, but my cheeks are too damn fat!! -_-

Edit: I always liked that scene between Vegeta and Trunks.
 

Create self-fulfilling prophecies. Always assume the positive. Assume she likes you. Assume she wants to talk to you. Assume she wants to go out with you. When you think positive, positive things happen.

A universe...where heartbreak and sadness have bee
Dude, WTF??

Are you like dressing up in pink silk shirts or something at the bowling alley? You don't look like a pretty-boy on that MySpace site.

Besides, if it pulls the chicks, what's the problem with it? :D

It was a picture that was up on Friv's myspace album. It's the scene where Vegeta hug's Trunks for the first time. He says something like "You're my son and I've never held you even once." Then he knocks Trunks and Goten out and proceeds to blow himself up to kill Buu.

Great scene.
