The life of ridiculously good looking people

    Are you stunningly good looking or have any close friends who are?

    I'm curious what life is like for these people to have people constantly turning heads in awe of their stupendous good looks. I'd imagine it could get very annoying after a while.

    I think I'd grow a beard, wear sunglasses and a cap when leaving the house if I were afflicted with such looks.

    Well, according to Samantha Brick it's not all it's cracked up to be. And of course, she'd know.

    Sometimes it's tough :(

    Il be walking around and just catch a refection of myself in something shiny and end up pouting at myself for hours. It's such a burden. :o

    I am really really, ridiculously good looking.

    In all fairness, its the ugly people that make us so beautiful.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,564 ✭✭✭✭whiskeyman


    I usually have to wear wellies whenever I go out as the woman get so wet for me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 732 ✭✭✭scarymoon1


    theres no 'ordinary' person that good looking - and if you were you would be a model. And the only reason you would turn heads is because you were famous


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,379 ✭✭✭hefferboi


    It's tough. I get off with no one because they think I'm out of their league :(

    Any woman I know who is stunningly beautiful encounters unbelievable jealousy and hatred; the assumption that she's gonna be a right bitch.

    You do get very paranoid when you are out and about

    There was an episode of 30 rock about this, I'm fairly sure.

    I know that feel bro. I have to get drunk just to not notice all the attention, when will women realise I'm not just a piece of meat?

    why are they bitches?!! I dont get that!

    I imagine its worse when their looks start to fade.

    A friend of mine (30 odd year old male) is lots of women's idea of ridiculously good looking, randomers often buy him drink when he goes to the bar, it's well weird but fair play to him.

    If more are bitches it's more than likely a result of the hatred they encounter.

    I think its all down to personality and the way they were brought up. I know lot of pretty girls who're so nice, then you have what i called the "others" just bitchy ignorant girls and if you tried to talk them. They would walk away and not even knowledge you're there.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,301 ✭✭✭Daveysil15


    Been beautiful shouldn't have to be a burden. A woman is either a bitch or she's not. It's worse when she thinks she is gorgeous, but is actually very average.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,753 ✭✭✭Vito Corleone


    Most of the attractive women I know aren't bitches at all. I think a lot of people just say that because they're jealous.

    They probably were not going good looking in the first place, if their looks fade. Looks tend to last if you look after yourself and keep healthy.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,168 ✭✭✭franktheplank


    How much of a ridiculously good looking woman being a bitch is just down to them turning lots of guys down?

    Granted there are of course genuine bitches and woman who think they're really good looking when they're not but I do think some of them get undeserved bad press.

    to the people who encounter beautiful women/men who are bitches to them - they are not beautiful - they are ugly inside. You wouldnt say an apple is beautiful if its rotton inside - its the same with people

    Probably doesn't stop her from spending hours putting on make up.

    So you are saying yer in bits like a big bag of lego?

    Me too :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 516 ✭✭✭Jogathon


    I find that people think that I am a bit dim, and guys talk down to me because I'm good looking. Also, people presume that I'm no fun, that I'm boring, but I'm fantastic craic (I swear like!!). I'm not shallow, I don't care but people do judge.

    Another thing that I find is that guys compliment my looks, but the compliments that I love to get are nothing to do with my looks but are to do with my personality. Tell me I'm funny and I swoon because I know then that the guy isn't shallow and doesn't care about how I look.

    I hope that I don't sound vain, because I'm not. I'm a soccer and camogie playing girl, who is tough out and I wouldn't be into spending hours getting ready for a night out. Sorry if this sounds like I'm full of it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,168 ✭✭✭franktheplank

    Why should she stop? Should she ugly herself up before going out?

    Looks fade, I've never seen an attractive 80 year old man or woman, it's the cycle of life, we all lose our looks.

    That also has an impact on ego. I was trying to get to the bar in a pub and was asking two girls to move but only got as far as 'excuse me' before one of them said she was not interested. I was there with my girlfriend so I wasn’t about to hit on some randomer blocking the bar. I had to laugh at the assumption I was trying it on with them.

    thats hilarious - you should have said something smart to that girl like no sorry love - your blocking the bar! cant believe the big head on some people lol

    You have great paragraphing.

    For some probably, not all.

    And maybe it's not ego, let's say rather than hitting on you people are often making fun of you. You'd probably be quite likely to misinterpret some innocent actions as people making fun.

    A lot depends on the context also, was she happy to think you we're hitting on her and she turned you down (ego) or was she embarrassed, apologetic or not bothered either way (probably fair enough?)

    Hmmm, if it was men the woman could have learned that that's the easiest way to deal with flirting from people they're not interested in. Freindliness is probably misconstrued as flirting back:P

    I wonder how good looking women who are "one of the lads" are treated by other women?

    Men and women can still have their looks at 80, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sean_Connery i think he looks fairly well for his age.

    I was confused for a few seconds as I though she was refusing to move then I realised she assumed I was hitting on her. I just replied ‘I’m just trying to get by’ and pushed my way through.

    Do you need to be a bitch to turn down a guy? Not sure i understand the logic of that. If hes falling all over you or getting nasty with you then ya you need to put your foot down with him. But you can least acknowledge there is someone who's speaking to you ( for me ignoring will give the impression you're not a very nice person )

    Like even you don't find him attractive, he make actually be an interesting person to get to know, once you talk!
