Being handsome is not good enough.

The funny thing about this thread is that nobody made any comment whatsoever on whether Aaendi is "good-looking" or not, as he implies, even after he posted his photos. It might mean that nobody disagrees with it - or that nobody wants to seem rude by saying they disagree. So you really can't rule out looks as a factor, unless you've actually been told, by at least several people, that you're good looking.

I guess it's kind of comforting to those aspies that are not good-looking that even if they were it wouldn't be enough But it would still be helpful, undoubtedly.

OP brings up a valid point.

I have been told I should be a model yet women hardly ever show interest in me. Maybe they are being to subtle or once I come off as beta that makes them run. I don’t know. I guess as an adult I’m clueless as to how I’m suppose to go about meeting girls because I have yet to find a decent job and all my friends have moved away.

In school I was told I was attractive yet I never seemed to attract the girls I like.

The benefits of being handsome are really not worth the effort. At one point I let myself go just because I gave up.

I have since lost nearly 50 pounds, cleared my acne, have been wearing more stylish clothing and women still seem to jump if I approach them.

SUCKS.

Duh. being pretty isn´t enough either.

I'd say its at least 40% of it though, and it makes a big difference with opening doors, as if you don't look good, they won't ever see your personality, or smarts. rather hoping to find a great looking guy who has those too.

In the same way that being only a Nice Guy™ won't get you a girlfriend, being only a Handsome Guy™ won't get you a girlfriend, either.

The most likely reason that women aren't interested in a man is because the man is not interesting to them -- he's simply boring.

My experience has been that being perceived as physically attractive is good for getting initial eye contact and a verbal greeting. But beyond the initial greeting, physical attraction very quickly becomes increasingly much, much less important.

I am handsome and 'hot' online, ugly and the opposite of hot offline.
