So who are these guys? Especially pretty boy #3!

Of course it's possible to be too pretty! It's been a curse all my life, alas! ;)

[Guest Blink]

I've met #1 at an industry party before. Hmmmm..I don't know... He looked too pretty that nobody gave him any minute.

 

:P :P

[Guest Thunderbuns]

Dunno - perhaps we should ask Albinorat

I don't know, but in the case of #1, it is possible to be victimized by a photo retoucher who goes overboard on the eye color.

Well...how do you attach pictures here?

[Bilbo]

Is it just me or are numbers 2 and 3 pretty much interchangeable? Are they brothers or just two different aspects of the same boyishly handsome face taken at different times, perhaps? :9

This is so, so subjective!! As the old adage goes: "Beauty is in the EYE of the beholder." I guess the same can be said as to what this thread implies. What/Who is "pretty"? Of what is it constituted?

From whose point of view? Whose taste...? Again, let me reiterate-- it is soooooooooooooo subjective!

 

But--do bring on those photos!!! Try to diversify them, too, perhaps!

No, in my heart I'm SURE that those are natural. He's probably not too smart (How can someone be that beautiful and intelligent, too?) but he knows enough always to keep blue near his head.

Perhaps pretty is an unfortunate choice of words here. If you were all being honest - how many of you would like to be called pretty?

 

Handsome, gorgeous, beautiful, hot, sexy, hunky, devine, unfuckingreal, breathtaking.......... all of the above - but pretty?

I think not. Babies are pretty, a woman's bedroom can be pretty, a scene in nature, an evening gown - but a man?, Not in my eyes!

WAY too pretty. YUK!

[Guest jerseyguy]

NEVER!

How can someone be too pretty?

Too pretty for what?

YEAH these guys are pretty!

That's what makes me notice them.

What's wrong with being pretty?

I wish i was pretty.

And I wouldn't mind being with one of these pretty boys.

Enjoy the limelight!

Well, of course it's all a matter of personal taste, but for me, for some reason I'm not attracted to the "perfect" look (beautiful face, awesome bod). Maybe it's a defense mechanism I've developed over the years from when I was in high school competing with these types over the best girls (and usually losing), to later when I was competing with the same model-types for guys (and still losing). Whatever.

 

I prefer guys who look more approachable and natural, and don't spend so much time in front of a mirror or in photo shoots. I just can't relate to these guys, and am not attracted to them any more than I am an orangutan. Probably less. Give me a guy with a few flaws and a great personality. A big dick always helps }>

[Uncle Bill]

Yeh, but now you can hire a pretty boy and, at least for the moment, be the one he wants and is focused on.

 

I like the natural, slightly flawed look from time to time, but I have to admit that I'd love to be with #2 or #3 -- but ONLY if they had great (OK, at least reasonably pleasant) personalities to go with those perfect faces (and most likely perfect bods). A picture is one thing (and often a very good thing), but someone's personality can instantly turn a babe into a dud -- or the other way around.

 

I guess that I have always been in awe of great looking guys since I considered them unattainable. However, since three years ago when I began hiring guys, I've been with many that were in that previously unattainable class, I've been having a lot of fun catching up.

[chrismac]

I guess for me I just can't get past the idea that someone that pretty wouldn't notice me on the street (well, maybe, if I was wearing my signature Indonesian floral shirt); they'd be too busy catching their reflection in the store windows.

 

I did have one escort (my first, in fact) in Germany who could easily be a model, although his musculature might be a little too bulky. Initially (and amazingly), I was a little disappointed that his face had that classic bone structure, almond eyes; he had perfect skin - and a great head of hair. But I got past it eventually during the session - he really didn't seem stuck on himself.

 

When I see an escort ad that states something like, "Strikingly gorgeous face" or "Breathtakingly good-looking", I roll my eyes and restrain the urge to regurgitate.

 

But people, male or female, aren't considered "extremely attractive" for nothing; obviously the majority holds that view. I can certainly understand it.

 

Incidentally - I can still appreciate the face of a beautiful woman - that creates no negative feelings in me at all.

 

As I indicated - I'm weird that way.

[+ deej]

Your mileage may vary, much like other "human" things.

 

I've known guys so gorgeous they can stop traffic, but they seem unaware of it.

 

I've known other guys who get attitude over it. (And all too often their opinion of their physical attributes is a bit exaggerated.)

 

One of my best friends is from the first group. We'll be out at dinner and he'll go to the restroom. I sit and watch every head in the place turn as he walks past. He'll sit back down at the table completely clueless to the attention.

 

Guys like that are keepers and, ironically, they usually don't think of themselves that way.

[Guest jizzdepapi]

deej, not for nothing, but maybe the guy pulls his dick out before he gets to the restroom. of course, that's a headturner.

[+ deej]

actually, jizz, he'd be a head-turner there too. ;-)

Pretty is a word that is I feel best applied to things of a feminine nature. As I don't find any of these guys feminine looking, I would not apply that word to them.

When Justin #2 of NYC had turned 20, he was quite a head-turner. Everywhere we would go on our dates, gawkers would admire his beautiful face/body. He had no idea. In fact, he was downright shy. I remember we were once in a crowded elevator, and every other guy in the car stared at him the whole ride up. But like you say, deej, he is such a nice, humble, shy kid... he didn't even notice it. When we got out, I asked him, "Did you see all those guys checking you out?" And he said, "Huh?" The escort world lost a great one when he retired, but I am happy for him. He is doing great!

 

He's going to make someone a great husband!

I'd agree wholeheartedly on #1, but #2 and 3 possess a certain feminine air, if not appearance. Especially #2 (though he certainly has nice tone - his face, to me, is decidedly feminine).

 

So I'd put #1 in the more "Ruggedly Handsome" category, while #2 and 3 I still consider "pretty", as in "pretty boys".

 

Oh well, it's splitting hairs. I suppose if any of them really wanted to pay me to have sex with them, I'd concede and do my best to get through the whole messy affair and appear to like it.

I don't think you're as weird as you might think you are, "in that way." :-)

 

It's awfully easy to fall into the trap of thinking that the "model types" these guys typify are lusted after by everybody. The media feeds us all images of men & women who fit a certain objectified notion of what's supposed to be attractive, to the extent that it becomes all-but-impossible not to consider them attractive, even "extremely" so. I think they're attractive, but I don't feel any attraction to any of them. (The only one of these guys who might do anything for me is #1, if his eyes didn't look so faked and he wasn't wearing that effeminate pout on his otherwise handsome face.) Many of us end-up with this two-tiered notion of what's attractive - one that's foisted upon us, and one that we develop more organically.

 

I doubt that any of these guys, as attractive as they look, would necessarily be considered attractive in every culture, not that that means there aren't individuals in every culture who are attracted to one or more of them. What's attractive is part culturally determined response, and part personal response.
