Not that all of us are shallow but my sense is that guys like you make other men (like me) turn their heads when you walk by. This allows you to attract other gay men from all corners. Make sense? Can a gay man be too handsome to date? Runners often meet other runners on trails because they already have the activity in common. In my experience, most people gravitate towards others with similar interests.įor example, guys who like the gym typically attract other men who enjoy the same. The other thing you may not have noticed is that being “hot” greatly influences your dating opportunities. As such, you probably don’t know what it’s like when a guy pushes you to the side in favor of someone more photogenic like yourself. You see Henry – I’m closer to a 5 (average). Does that seem accurate? If so, your handsomeness probably affects your dating life in ways that aren’t so obvious. I’m going to assume that on a scale of 1-10 in the attractiveness department, you rank high up, like a 9. The problem is they DO matter, particularly in gaydom. The politically correct thing for me to say is that looks don’t matter – it’s what’s inside that counts. If the research is right, this means you likely get hired first, make more money, and have better opportunities than the average gay.
In our society, the more attractive a person, the better treatment they receive. If what you are saying is true, there’s a lot of readers who would love to trade places with you. The short answer to your question is: No, you can’t be too handsome. I can't help but wonder if my appearance intimidates other men? Can a dude be too handsome?
