We had the "being attractive to unattractive people" thread.

What about when someone who you think is attractive (to the point of probably being out of you league, in your opinion) thinks you are attractive? are you stoked? weary? what?

I always feel weary. And self-conscious. I remember one guy I thought was extremely good looking. And he was in to all the same stuff I was; the music I like, movies, zombies, video games, etc. Handsome nerd, basically. And although I'm a nerd, I didn't consider my attractiveness level to be anywhere near him. So when he hit on me, I was basically like "wtf, what???" instead of "awesome!"

And of course, I think how a person responds in this kind of situation is a reflection of their self-esteem. But lets put that aside.

It's always weird for me when girls out of my league start flirting. I may have some things in common, but it's just a mystery as to why they're talking to me. I'm just the really tall kid who can be funny when he wants to be. I like to keep to myself, but this one in particular never let me keep to myself. She kept pressing and now she's my gf. I guess I'm just hesitant, that's all.

my friends think that the guys im attracted to are ugly. almost always, they're like "he's so... egh... nerdy and not hot"

but i like guys like that. and i still think they wouldnt really like me anyway. i never think anyone likes me until they tell me, and then... i doubt it still.

I think you are slightly dellusioned on how attractive you think you are. It's a good thing you are not ugly when you have the self-esteem you do....

It's not like I said I think I'm hot shit. But I do not think I am repuslive either. I'm okay.

Do I come off the opposite to you? And if so, wow. You don't know me well at all, and that makes sense.

Girls just like me for my wooden leg. Never for my looks or personality. Its a drag. "Here, take it. Do what you will with it. Just bring it back clean." :(

Well, the guy in the original post must be fucking George Clooney to substantiate this! And if he is, then okay. If not, shhhhhhh.

if I am comparing him with George Clooney as far as attractiveness goes (to me anyhow), yeah he can rival him. They would be in close contention with each other.

He looked like Clooney? Wow. Attack of the Killer Tomatoes Clooney or Ocean's Eleven Clooney?

Last night I got with by far the best looking girl from my old school.

I never really expected she would like me. It was pretty cool. (y)

not like him, just on the same level of attractiveness. ;)

p.s. alright Padster (y) so tell me, did you feel weary or thrown off at first, or were you just thinking to yourself "awesome!" from the start?

I said this in the other thread but sometimes the unattractive ones become more so as you get to know them and their personalities.

And sometimes the ones you were initially attracted to become ogre-like when you realize that they're self-centered and...mean. Just mean. They think of themselves, don't know how to think of anyone else.

Shy Guy at the gym falls into the category of this thread for me. He is perfect looking to me and the bonus is that I don't think he knows it. What I like other than the things we have in common: he takes an interest in me even though I know it's hard for him to do that or to express it. He half-looks at me, half-smiles. He blushes. He often hears me talking to people on one side of the gym and then comes over to ask questions about what I said. I know it's hard for him to do that. I can tell by his posture and attitude. He remembers things about what I'm doing in my life and asks about them later.

I wonder if guys realize how powerful an aphrodisiac, how much of a turnon it is for a women when a man pays attention to her...really pays attention and not just to her physical stuff. I knock guys right out of my life who can only look here and there. It's the ones who really take an interest in me, what I do, what I like, and who *talk* to me that I find myself remembering.

Shy Guy--his name is Ken. So if you know anything about me, you'll know why that's funny.

indeed! there is no way the guy I mentioned would have stayed attractive to me if he was a self-centered asshole. Turned out he was really nice and fun to talk to. Which intimidated me even more, actually.

Same goes for my current bf. I thought he was attractive, and his personality/interests made me SO infatuated with him. At that point, I thought it would never be. But alas, he felt the same about me :D woohoo!

When my last boyfriend asked me out, he's extremely hot, I was in disbelief and I think it was annoying him. I'm like "are you for real?" and he looked at me like :confused: and said "yeah". So yeah, I guess that's how I react in disbelief. Because I'm usually called you know, the "quiet girl". :o But it seems like I get attracted to the "grungy" guys or sort of quiet and geeky because I hate guys that are all preppy pussy boys, and I hate guys that try to act 'tuff'.

That didn't happen to me yet, not even with ugly guys I might say, but I I would definitely take a LONG while to believe the guy was attracted to me. I would make up all excuses to explain why this good-looking guy was "pretending" to be attracted to me. It's not that I have low self-esteem, but seriously most (I'm not saying all) handsome men are all full of themselves although insecure as hell so they need to be with a very beautiful girl. Maybe they would even start to like someone not so nice looking like them, but then they would feel weird at the beginning because they would be scared and all crap and they would ruin their reputation as macho men. Because macho men only get hot chicks and if they got an uglie it would mean the guy actually cares about personality which is absurd (meaning gay).You like someone only if you get an instant erection when you see the person!

That's right. It IS like that.:p

this is rather off topic from this thread, but i think the most attractive thing a guy can have is confidence. so i'm trying to remember this everytime i start to feel down about myself. noone likes people who aren't confident!

ehhh, i don't quite remember where was going with this...ha, anyway!

i was really psyched when i found out he was attracted to me, too. i mean, i think that i'm pretty awesome and it was only a natural thing that he would, too. okay so that sounded conceited, but really...if you don't think you're awesome, noone else will.

It makes me question the persons sanity. If someone is way out of my league, and I will know, and they actually don't think im a piece of pooh thats below them, I usually blow it by overcompensating for my happiness. I push people away hard. Maybe I am afraid of being happy.....

now that's just appropriate.
This is one of those situations where I realize that someone read what I wrote and it dazes me. I usually write my long ass responses thinking that I'm mostly doing it for me alone and to mostly clear my head of a thought or a whole bunch of them. It's always weird to see that someone read one all the way through. Admirable, really--you have to have tenacity to do that. :o

Attraction doesn't have much to do with looks to me. I'm saying something obvious, I know.:p But people tend to forget about that. Maybe even I wrote something and I didn't explain myself properly. Hihi. :D

Most of my male friends are attractive (to me), so I'm not really nervous around good-looking guys. well, that's not true. I guess I just wouldn't really second-guess why anyone would be into me, because I think I'm pretty cool. Besides my last boyfriend, everyone I've dated has been seemingly "out of my league" looks-wise. And pfft, that last boyfriend, he always thought I would leave him for another better-looking guy. I didn't though, I just left.

meh, I just like funny people.
