Pics if possible too :)
it's great, and of course I like it... never did any modeling though, except for some nude modeling for a local college art class.... but those days are gone now... it's sad to see your looks fade... must really be devastating for a beautiful woman.

Let me add my voice to the crowd. I am 6'4'', on the skinny side, with an above-average sense of style. And though I'm not yet confident enough to pronounce myself "model handsome", lots -- and I mean LOTS -- of girls have called me hot or handsome, or told me I should model. One girl, when I was acting like a suck and putting my looks down, PUNCHED me and told me to "call Calvin Klein -- NOW!" So I'm running on the assumption that it's true.

And as so many others have said, looks are not the cure-all. Yes I get girls giving me eyes wherever I go, and when I'm at a club I can grind with just about any girl I pick. But I've still had confidence issues all my life, and so my success with girls is quite below average. I don't approach and I don't act confident enough around girls. For me these are issues that I'm dealing with right now, which I have to mend slowly. I learned the hard way that you can't cover up lack of confidence with some bullsh1t bravado.

My sister has dated two model guys (that I know of :rolleyes: ) and they both had wimpy personalities -- called her every day, always looked nervous and insecure. Needless to say they didn't last very long compared to her other no-as-attractive, but confident/funny/charismatic boyfriends.

Whoa this is turning into a complete unorganized, rambling mess! But I hope it serves to reinforce what everyone else is trying to ram into your guys' heads -- THERE IS NO CURE ALL FOR SUCCESS WITH WOMEN. You have to work on the whole package. Don't use what you think are bad looks as an excuse not to go for it. Get some nice original clothes, groom yourself well, and work on your personality and you'll have more girls than you can deal with.

words to live by..... as a matter of fact, don't use anything as an excuse not to go for it, whether it's approaching women, applying for a job, or making a sale.

If you are too good looking of a guy. You are out of luck. Most women will label you as a player and/or are taken and try to eliminate you. I am wondering which DJ skills do I need to overcome that?

I used to get that comment when I was younger ('you should model') and still get it now and then... I have a friend who is younger than I (28) and looks even youger because of his longer blonde hair... and he gets that comment a lot of times when we're out... in fact, he's been approached by model scouts about 3 times in the last couple of years. (BTW, for anyone considering getting into male modeling, a 'friend-of-a-friend' of mine is a relatively famous one who is on the cover of Men's Fitness fairly often... and he has a great website with workout/diet information and info on modeling @ www . greggavedon . com).

About the 'model look' thing, though, as one poster said so correctly IMHO, there are different looks that women find more or less attractive. I am much more the Clooney type of more masculine or handsome (rugged) look, whereas my friend has a much more 'pretty boy' vibe. On different nights, either of us might get more attention from women... it just depends. The bottom line is that if she finds you attractive, she'll let you know with her eyes!

Ummmm, no. I have been approached in all kinds of settings. However, yes, most are in club settings. My current girlfriend, and my previous longest LTR were both the ones who chased me. And both felt bad becaues I am the only guy they have ever closed (as they are stunning and didnt need to). Both were embarassed for a long-time, not to mention they gave up the power to me in an instant!

However, I have been told by probably about 30 different girls that I seem amaizingly approachable. Dont know why, guess I just emit those vibes.

I don't have any pictures to prove my looks, however i will say being great looking isn't as great as it sounds.

My reasons:

1. It's hard to act confident, because people tend to mistake your confidence as arrogance.

2. Older women 30 + always tell you how handsome you are. It's great if you like attention drawn to yourself, however it's terrible if you don't.

3. Insecure guys will try to size you up and put you down. I have had the uneasy task of winning people over and believe me this gets rather tiresome.

4. Being labeled as gay and also trying to repel all of the gay guys hitting on you.

5. Girls automatically think you're are player, so they are very defensive with bich shields up 100%.

6. Older guys, friends. relatives, and strangers are constantly assuming and making innuendo's about your sex life.

7. Being labeled as pretty boy and soft.

8. Most good looking people rely on their looks alone and tend to be a lot more insecure, self conscious, and am emotional wreck. Example: Being rejected by the opposite sex. " i must really be ugly, what is wrong with me, i must have lost my looks?"
Example 2. "why is everyone looking at me? I must be so ugly, maybe they are laughing at me, wait a minute i thought i was good looking...etc....?"

From my experience confidence is much more important then looks. Good looking people get old just like everyone else does and if you have no personality and rely solely on your looks you're in for a rude awakening (imagine a Ferrari without an engine; pretty useless....huh)? Although you can't change the way you look so to speak, you can gain confidence. If you're confident and secure, people will take notice and i can guarantee you worrying about whether or not your goodlooking will be the last thing on your mind.

Take this advice from a good looking guy. "Looks aren't everything, unless your female." :D

I'd like to add reason #9. All your friends and neighbors are scared to death you'll steal their women.

Could you please describe yourself physically in every way? Do you have money?

Before I found any of this sort of information on the net, I was hell bent on trying to make myself look as good as I could. I'm turkish/english but I never looked like the other blonde hair blue eyed guys in high school and it bothered me. The clothes they wore didn't suit me. In high school I was the geek, but afterwards I got right into bodybuilding and started dressing a bit more funky and stylish and got a cool haircut. Its nothing that happens overnight, becoming cluey with style is something you have to develop. You can't just walk into a store in buy a look, you've gotta develop it. I did a modelling gig to help out a friend's hair dressing salon recently and the make up artist told me I should do underwear modelling because I had the right face for it (of all things!).

I guess I am vain about this, but hey I'm proud of myself and I often see guys who if they put some effort into their body and style could raise themselves from a 6 to an 8 in the eyes of a woman. Random hot girls giving you THE EYE or can't stop stealing glances at your arms is VERY addictive!

I used to look like a douche though because I put so much effort into my looks yet had so little contact with girls that I would sound like a complete AFC when they talked to me - because inside I was.

Doing the ****y/funny thing is much harder. I sometimes play the game a little too hard and realise I can be a little softer around the edges and create a greater attraction.

The girl I'm seeing at the moment is really cute, she always calls me ugly or fatty, she's a bit of a female DJ herself :D

Jeez...

On hotornot, i average about an 8... however, here is the frequency of which people rate me (so far 157 people have voted)

1-10 (1 being most frequent, 10 being rarely)
1:5
2:7
3:6
4:3
5:4
6:2
7:8
8:1
9:9
10:10

conclusion: different strokes for different folks (why does that sound like a masturbation line?)

in addition, within the apn of a few weeks
one HB literally went 'um, no' at my looks (she didn't know i was listening)
and another HB told me I looked 'exotic'

i was like WTF... everybody is different.

i believe a man's LOOKS is in his bearing - check Rhett Butler (gone with the wind) and Stanley Kowalski (streetcar named desire)... not really hat handsome, but their characters made women run screaming out of the theatre grabbing their pussies "AHHHHHHHHH!!!"

for some reason, when i am dressed up and a trying a little harder to make a good impression, people think i'm ugly/average

but when i dress down (not grunge, but like a tank top and jeans - i'm not muscular, either), i have girls looking me up and down... wait a minute, why don't i do that more often. shyt, how idiotic of me not to realize that and do more of the dressing down thing.

Im always told by people how good looking I am, my mom was a small time model when she was younger and im told my father was good looking also, so I guess its in my genes.
Ive also been told I could be a chipndales dancer, a model, mistaken for a celebrity lol.

Like today in my cafeteria some hot girl infront of me got the last large snapple, I looked at her and smiled and said aww you got the last one, then she insited I have it, I just smiled and said no biggie ill just get the can and she kept saying I could have it smiling. Now I wonder if she was just being nice or if it was because she thought I was attractive that she would have gave up the snapple.

5'11". About 73kgs, blue eyes, blond hair. Great shape, dress well. I posted a few pics over the time Ive been here. However, none on the net at the moment and my fukcing comp crashed and I lost everything, grrrrr!! :mad:

Money.....? Well I have a bit, but girls never know that, EVER! I dont live in a big house, just modest, drive a modest car (neither are poor, nor rich). However I have a lot of investments but like I said, girls NEVER know about this! So it definately aint the money factor.

All I will say is if u carry yourself with confidence, dress nicely (not just nicely, but with the latest fashions and trends), have good hair, clear skin, good looks (u dont have to be Brad Pitt), and are nice to everyone and a good communicator and of course the most important thing, CLOSE the ladies u are talking to, u will get a LOT of ladies! Even if u dont close but have all the above, u will be closed by various woman.
