How pretty is too pretty..... for Guys?!

Angelic Dissonance · 06-09-2010, 04:45 PM

Okay, so I appreciate looking in the mirror and thinking that I look good--not "sexually attractive to self", but "aesthetically pleasing".....

I rarely get too many comments, but depending on how I do it, I can't help but look at pictures of myself and wonder if I'm just Too God-Damned Pretty for a guy. I mean, btween my incredible long, wavy hair, and my already good looks and slender frame, I do occasionally get mistaken for a woman--and a BEAUTIFUL woman, too, lol--
But my being a straight guy, you can probably see how there could be some tension here. So, *CURRENTLY* without pictures to show you......

AM I TOO PRETTY?!?! Just looking for opinions, here....

Solumina · 06-09-2010, 05:28 PM

Nope, maybe people just think you're a twat.

Angelic Dissonance · 06-09-2010, 11:09 PM

}8{ I'm not a twat.... IDK.

Angelic Dissonance · 06-09-2010, 11:18 PM

Apparently, seven minutes later....

I will try to post some pics soon--because if even I think I may be too pretty, then something may be up... Of course, it may just be what I did with my eyeliner. It was a heavy, serious cat-eye Pharaoh thing... someone at school said I looked like a pharoah, and several people said that they liked it. Really, it reminded me of what Rihanna and her kith and kin have been doing, drawing the points out to the brows, with the inside corners pulled far down for a very dramatic look. But my hair, it really is the driving force behind the brown eyes.... I just need to get the pics from my girl. I may have them tomorrow, if I'm lucky.

There's no such thing as too pretty.
However, starting discussions about how incredibly pretty you are is a bad sign.

Angelic Dissonance · 06-10-2010, 12:28 AM

It sure is.
I ....REALLY don't mean it like it sounds, but....
What I meant in the first post is, I don't know if I'm over-doing it, even just by doing it at all. It's just eyeliner....

Solumina · 06-10-2010, 12:40 AM

Maybe you can't pull it off but there is no such thing as "too pretty" just look at Mana or dozens of other men who have major fan clubs because of how pretty they are.

Angelic Dissonance · 06-10-2010, 01:14 AM

Well, okay. For some reason, that makes me feel somewhat better.

Bete Noire · 06-10-2010, 04:40 AM

Stubble?

Or stop worrying about your appearance so much. Seriously, I think there is such a thing as putting a little too much thought into it.

ThenAgain · 06-10-2010, 11:37 AM

Especially if you make a thread to talk about how oh my gosh pretty you are.

Alan · 06-10-2010, 05:44 PM

I declare this thread as mine now.
Same problem; same narcissism; better overall person.

I
am
gorgeous

Never had a problem with girls for being too pretty; how pathetic would that be?
I have, however, missed a lot of opportunities missed because they don't approach me, thinking I'm gay.
I can't blame them; half my closet is women clothes.

But let's make me prettier: what routine do you guys recommend me to buff up this following month? I have the pecs of a ten year old. That ain't sexy.

Solumina · 06-10-2010, 06:23 PM

I'm not sure, you should post some shirtless pics so we can determine what muscles need the most work.

Alan · 06-10-2010, 06:25 PM

Nice try.
But seriously, it's just the pecs I worry about, there's two muscles in them, right?

Solumina · 06-10-2010, 06:29 PM

Awww damn.

There is plenty that you can do to tone pecs but for toning and adding bulk push ups are the best.

KontanKarite · 06-10-2010, 09:05 PM

Medium weight, high reps. Bench press.

I think you weigh about 130 right, Alan? If so, shoot for 140/145 on the bench at about 10 reps for 5 sets. Should do quite well. Also, doing some dips to compliment your benching will also do really well. Of course, eat as much protein as possible as always. I know, it'd be a bit harder for you, being you're a vegan and all. But yeah. *nods*

Alan · 06-10-2010, 09:34 PM

Dude... I'm not a vegan.
Also, I'm only 110 pounds, and I think I can only bench press like 70 pounds. THAT'S how thin I am.
Pec implants would be easier.

I concur. Pretty much sums it up my pretties.

Holy crap, I have twenty pounds on you.

Then do what is medium weight for you according to your size and strength. I thought you were heavier. Oh well. You're looking to put on some size, then just try it. I don't know how much you weigh. Try benching 60 pounds at high reps. Either way, you'll put on mass and build strength.

Apathy's_Child · 06-10-2010, 11:51 PM

Muscle comes on pretty quick once you start., although I'm probably naturally disposed given the family build (although I'm the skinniest one really, my btrothers are stockier) Just do plenty of manual shit for your parents and earn yourself a couple of favors at the same time. Do push-ups in the morning and pick your girlfriend up whenever you can. Mine rides my back like a pony when she's decided what she wants for breakfast on weeked mornings, which is so exhausting, I'd like to think it's responsible for my inexplicably toned shoulders and arms.

Alan · 06-11-2010, 12:36 AM

I remember when I carried the last girl I went out with. She said I couldn't carry her; I promised I could. And I did, but as soon as she jumped into my arms I shouted "ai wey!" which i sort of a "holy fuck!"
We laughed and I still carried her inside but that's what made me want to exercise more.

Still Jack · 06-11-2010, 04:38 AM

you weigh pretty much what I do. Start carrying full kegs when you set up parties. You'll get muscles after lifting those for a while.

Bete Noire · 06-11-2010, 09:11 AM

Bench a lot, press ups a lot, and make sure when you're benching it's free weights, not the pre-set-up bar on a frame type thing. That's good for shit-all.

Kegs, sacks of coal, wood, anything like that is good. Or amps if you do live music at all. :P

donmara · 06-11-2010, 04:08 PM

110 lbs ? Wtf, you guys are probably ridiculously short in stature.

Solumina · 06-11-2010, 04:33 PM

I weigh the same as Saya, interesting.

Seriously though do loads of push-ups, even if you can only do a couple at a time, and haul heavy shit around. Also since you are so thin up your protein intake, your body can't build muscles without the proper building blocks.
