Ladies: Have you ever dated a drop-dead gorgeous guy?

[yvr girl]

We're talking someone worthy of a marble statue.

I met someone online, and he wants to go out. He seems like a nice guy, but just too good looking to date. I find his looks to be intimidating. Am I just being weird?

[Bunny]

1. Yes. He was a firefighter, too.

The sight of him in his dress uniform - mama mia your knees would go weak!!! :loveya:

Turns out, he was a dick.:thumbsdown:

[boobooday]

39. OMG. I had the same experience

VERY handsome fireman.

He could start the fire . . . and he could put the fire out, and usually did, if you know what I mean.

The kind of guy who stomps on the accelerator right when he sees you taking a sip of your coffee, then laughs when you spill it on yourself.

2 dates. :nuke:

[Vektor]

45. OMG. I love that picture!

Is that your bunny?

I have just officially been killed by cute.

[Bunny]

57. Join the crowd - this bunny is a serial killer!

But, it's not mine. I just got the picture from the internet.

[Deja Q]

2. No

Give 'im a chance.

i would.

[trof]

3. miz t. did.

And she married him.
;-)

[ThomCat]

4. ahem. Can a guy reply here too?

:P
I dated a guy who looked like Brad Pitt, only taller. Most beautiful guy I've ever known.

No need to be intimidated, unless he's a bit TOO aware of how beautiful he is. Then it's okay to run away quickly.

[Deja Q]

8. So I'm not a guy, then?

Let's whip out the ol' measuring tape and we'll conclusively prove what's what... in all conditions. :rofl:

[ThomCat]

9. You posted while I was typing.

But by all means, let's whip out that measuring tape. Let's see what you've got. :9

[Deja Q]

13. !

:woohoo: :bounce: :woohoo:

[matcom]

5. well, you dated ME didn't you?

:hide:

[yvr girl]

14. Does 30 seconds of alley sex

qualify as dating?

[matcom]

16. it does in MY book

you forgot the fact i bought you Ripple :eyes:

[yvr girl]

18. So sorry.

I was drunk, what can I say.

So, you're an Ex. Cool.

[ohiosmith]

6. My wife did, and married me.

[Crazy Dave]

7. Here's my real picture yvr girl

I'm also single, an airline pilot, a gourmet cook and a licensed massage therapist.

[ThomCat]

12. God, I hope you look better than that.

From your posts, I imagined you were a real person. :P

[Crazy Dave]

19. Real person, not rich, getting old and very married

:cry:

Will the real Dave "The Wave" please step-up?

[ThomCat]

21. Much, Much better!

See, I knew it.

[LaraMN]

10. Sure.

A few in particular stand out:
The first was not fond of taking his meds and was not very nice to me (he lasted a very few weeks.)
Another was even more intimidated by women than they were of him. (I got bored with trying to make him comfortable pretty quickly.)
Another one I married- so obviously I thought he was pretty cool. I knew him as a friend before we dated, though.

Don't sell yourself short, honey- you're beautiful, bright, and fun, and you deserve a top-of-the-line man!

[yvr girl]

23. Thanks

But I'm no Venus to his David.

[LostinVA]

11. I am a female who has dated a drop-dead gorgeous woman

And, you're NOT weird... it is intimidating, and makes you feel like you're out of their league. Now, men and women are very different re: emotionally... but this woman was the one that was insecure in our relationship, not me. Because she had had so many people want to date her looks, but not her.

Just an FYI from the semi-other side.

But, you are not being weird about this.

[Digit]

15. Yep, but he was not very bright

I was 32 and he was 22.

Fun for playing with, but not breeding stock....more like a pet.
A very, very cute pet.




With lots of energy.

:woohoo: :evilgrin:

[yvr girl]

17. He doesn't strike me as dumb

Wouldn't hold my interest long enough to be considering the date.

[xmas74]

20. Sure did.

Turns out I was his final hetero experience.

[blondeatlast]

22. Yes, and he was aware of it. He also had a great sense of humor

about it.

Also remember that online looks can be more deceiving than someone you can see up close (my "looker" was WAY prior to the internets, FWIW).

If you can't get past the hangup about his looks, it isn't going to happen no matter how hard you try.

[Nikia]

24. I did

I dumped him because I couldn't believe that he wasn't cheating on me. I was in high school still, while he was away at college. He had previous been known as a player. Why would a hot guy like that change for me who wasn't even with him most of the time? A couple months later, his sister chewed me out for being so stupid, that her brother actually really liked me.
I was 17. I don't know if I was right or wrong. In all actuality, I think that it was better that I wasn't dating anyone when I went away to college.

[OhioBlue]

25. you're not being weird

but, don't be afraid to go out with him b/c of his looks. You will know when you meet him if it is something that will be an issue. I've dated a guy that was gorgeous - didn't work out, but not b/c of his looks - more b/c of our ages. I've also dated a guy not so good looking that was a total a-hole. go for it if you like him.

He might be thinking the same thing about you... she's too pretty, too smart... etc.

[yvr girl]

26. I guess one date won't hurt.

Well, only so much anyway.

[IsIt1984Yet]

27. Depends on how you define "dated".

:evilgrin:
Cuz, there was this guy that I will recall with vivid detail when I am 90 years-old in my rocking chair...

Now, I need a moment.

[supernova]

28. Nope, can't say that I have

:shrug: I wonder sometimes what it would be like though.

[devilgrrl]

29. No. The drop-dead gorgeous ones are usually gay.

Besides,what would they want with an ugly broad like me?

[LeftyMom]

30. No.

Just kidding. ;)

[La Lioness Priyanka]

31. several.

i dont find it intimidating ..just enjoyable

[momophile]

32. I think so...

he ended up being a jerk, though...

[NMDemDist2]

33. yes more than one actually

i have been blessed with three drop dead gorgeous men in my life

one was an ass

the other two both fell into the "love of my life" catagory

go for it girl, you'll never forgive yourself if you don't at least give it a whirl......

never live a life to look back and say "I wish I'd done that and I didn't"

life is too short, trust this old broad who's been around the block several times and has the memories, and scars, to prove it, but I wouldn't have done it any different

[tjdee]

34. One my best male friends is drop dead gorgeous.

(Well, he used to be, we have kind of lost touch.)

When I met him I hated his guts because he was so Generic Good Looking, and I thought he'd have a huge chip on his shoulder. He didn't. Great guy. Going out with him was hilarious though, because women would pretend I wasn't there.

Give it a chance, anyway!

[Katherine Brengle]

35. Once--

and he was hooooooooooooooooooooot, it was quite ridiculous.

He also turned out to be dumb, a drunk, and totally self-absorbed, but I don't think that all good-looking men are this way.

My husband is quite cute, and none of these things, so who knows?

[flvegan]

36. I never have.

I feel like I've missed out, after reading these posts.

[pitohui]

37. yes

i'm pretty plain but if it's just abt the sex, a guy will put out to anyone, even a girl not in his league

he'll want the supermodel for public appearances tho

so it depends on what you want from the relationship, if you're in a space where you just want the sex and don't want to get all gooey and involved (which is where i was for many years), there is much to recommend the himbo

i don't like drop dead gorgeous for serious relationships tho

[miss_american_pie]

38. Yes and yes

Are you attracted to him? Go for it.

I should say mine was gorgeous and tall and we didn't have much in common other than the physical attraction, but it was fun while it lasted.

[katinmn]

40. Yes. MMMMMichael! He was drop-dead gorgeous.

But I got bored with him pretty fast. Not too much on top if you know what I mean.

I don't think you should be intimidated by his looks. He probably has some weird quirks or is deficit in some other way that will temper the attractiveness. No one is perfect.
:-)

[Kat45]

41. Yes. More than one.

Back when I was writing for a music magazine and hanging out in the local rock scene, there were lots of drop-dead gorgeous guys around. WHen I was in a club, I felt like a kid in a candy store. This was in the "hair band" days, when most of the musicians and friends had long hair, wore tight jeans, and looked GOOD! Dated some; fucked some; was friends with some. I have a close friend to this day who is the best looking man I've ever known personally in my entire life. (Unfortunately, he wasn't interested in me as a girlfriend, though we have played out our lust for each other. He's about 55-56 now, and he's still an incredibly handsome man.) Sadly, it is extremely rare when I see a drop-dead gorgeous man these days.

[aQuArius]

42. Abs of steel, brains of cooked oatmeal....

Great in bed, lots of fun to show-off. Mental stimulation.... ZERO!!! :puke:

[aQuArius]

44. :P

[Dangerously Amused]

43. Been there.

I dated a former pro football player turned semi-pro bodybuilder. Good looking, great body. The problem with his looks wasn't at all with his ego - he was actually a very nice and humble guy - but moreso the way people reacted to us when we went out. (Which wasn't often since he was in the gym like 24/7.) Granted, some of the reaction was surely due to the interracial thing. But yeah, I got some wicked stares from other women, and overheard a few snarky comments. Sometimes I felt a little self-conscious around him, though I didn't let it didn't get to me too much. But it's something to be prepared for if he's that hot. Just sayin.'

With respect to being intimidated by his looks, don't be. Remember, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Believe it or not, some people will look at him and go, "eh." So just be happy that you think he's gorgeous, and don't worry about what everybody else thinks... bc that's the part that will intimidate you if you let it.


Good luck. Let us know how it turns out.

[MissB]

46. I have.

And he was dumb. Gorgeous, but dumber than a stack of bricks.

You never know, though.

[clyrc]

47. I did when I was 18

Fell crazy in love, kissed him for hours at a time, and went around in a daydream of love/lust for about 2 months. I thought he was shockingly beautiful. I myself was kind of stupid back then, though. He dumped me and I thought I would die of heartbreak. But I'm not sure I was ever able to see him as a real person, he was just too good looking.

[KitchenWitch]

48. Yes I have

and he never met a mirror he did not like. The man was full of himself to say the very least.

[RevolutionaryActs]

49. Nope, but I've never dated anyone. Period.

So.... yeah.

[faithnotgreed]

50. surprisingly enough i have dated 2

one was michael - unc graduate in math (math.... thats a turn on right there) and so good looking in the conventional sense
loved dogs and had a great build etc

unfortunately i just couldnt get into him so to speak
not as emotionally mature as i would like is probably the best way to sum that up
but he did have his sweetness - showed up to my moms house on my birthday months after i had broken it off
now she would have loved me to continue with him

then later there was paul
duke graduate with science degree and into outdoors and some environmental stuff

again just couldnt reach the emotional place with him though i did love his long hair and our repartee

but those days are definitely past

best wishes in your search yvr
i am of the mind it matters not a whit if someone is considered exceptional looking
i can only be with someone who has a great deal inside so the incredible looks thing doesnt impact me (plus i dont go for the conventional looks anyway)
though i am lucky that my girl of 11 years is adorable

[lavenderdiva]

51. you're not weird.

I dated 2 extremely handsome men, back in my dating days. In high school, he was the quarterback on the football team, and the best looking guy in school. Everyone was jealous. He was very nice, very sweet, and very stuck on me. We dated for almost a year, and he was very serious about me. Perhaps a little too serious for being seniors in high school. I broke up with him because he was pressuring me, and I just wasn't comfortable with it.

2nd guy: a former model, also beyond belief gorgeous. However, he knew it, and loved it about himself. At first, he was very sweet, very attentive, and we had a great relationship. We dated about a year and a half. Toward the end, I found out that he had been 2-timing me with a stewardess in London. He was also the biggest flirt, right in front of me, with other women. I found out, near the end of our relationship, that he had been very abusive with a former girlfriend, and that really scared me (he got abusive when she tried to leave him). He had many emotional issues and a 9 year old son, at the time, living with his mother, that also had some issues. All that was just too much, good looks or not.

I am now married to a wonderful man whom I just adore, and who loves me more than I ever dreamed possible. We are very happy. While I find him attractive, and he is handsome to me, he is not physically beautiful, like these other men were. However, I can't believe how lucky I am to have him in my life, and how blessed he makes me feel!

Don't shy away from someone because of their looks. Whatever that may be. Look at their heart and mind. That can be far more (or less) beautiful than the outside packaging.

[LaraMN]

52. So what are you gonna do?

I'm not telling you what to do or anything, but it can't really hurt to go out *once* can it?:-) :bounce: Nudge, nudge...

[Missy Vixen]

53. Oh, yeah

I dated a guy named Jon in my mid 20's. To this day, he is the most handsome and physically perfect man I have ever seen. The problem? He knew it. (In the dictionary under the word "arrogant," there's a picture of Jon.) I was constantly intimidated by his looks, but smart enough to not let him know it. The other thing I was smart about was never telling him exactly how I felt about him. In other words, I was a challenge, I suppose.

Go out with the guy. If he's not nice, you don't have to date him again. He may surprise you.

Julie

[Lydia Leftcoast]

54. Yes, one blind date, and that was one date too much

My great-aunt arranged this date many years ago. (She served on a committee with the gentleman.)

When he walked in, he was so gorgeous that I thought "Way to go, Auntie," but the situation deteriorated when we got into his car, and he had the elevator Muzak station playing on the radio. I tried desperately to make conversation with him, including asking him open-ended questions about himself, to which he gave answers averaging about three words each.

Since verbal skill is one of the things I find most alluring about a man, this was a real disappointing date. This guy didn't even have the minimum verbal skills required for basic sociability, never mind wit.

[XemaSab]

55. Yes, and he was a total asshole

He's known to one and all as "Evil John," the only lad to ever have "Evil" as part of his nickname.

[u4ic]

56. Nope

and I'm okay with that. I prefer average looking guys.

[REP]

58. I'm Married To A Guy Who Looks Like This:

(He only looks like Brad Pitt when Brad Pitt is playing a gay vampire, though.)

[ScreamingMeemie]

59. I married a drop-dead gorgeous guy. And he was way worth it.

Try not to be intimidated. You are worth it. :hi:

[Heidi]

60. "Dated" wouldn't be the right word.

:blush:

[ScreamingMeemie]

61. ...

:spray:

Now my nose stings....:rofl:

:hi:

[Heidi]

62. Sorry about that.

I was just tryin' to be honest. :shrug:
