It's okay. I mean, it's not for everyone, but I like it.
Okay, two things that do kind of suck.
1. Mothers explaining to little girls that I'm a boy, not a girl with five O'clock shadow and pigtails.
2. Being asked to grab things off high shelves I'm tall, in addition to being pretty. If I had to sum up my life in a few words it'd be 'Aesthetically pleasing stepladder/forklift.
Really it's not that bad, but there is a lot of responsibility that comes with being so "godlike". Everybody's constantly checking me out so I have to act really nonchalant about the whole thing. It's really very lonely because people are so intimidated by my beauty that they rarely talk to me and when they do they just end up making fools of themselves. I don't mean to exude such hottness, but I pretty much reek of sex. I emanate high amounts of pheromones and for that I am sorry.
My best friend is matinee-idol cute. I hate him for it, naturally. And he gets more ass than I thought was humanly possible.
That said... the girls that go for him aren't my style at ALL. Because who wants to be with someone who just wants to be with you because you are beautiful? I mean, sure... you want to be with them once or maybe twice... but not much more than that.
(But goddamn, he was fun to hang out with when I was single.)
One of my best friends who was gay was really quite the man. He was a golden boy, a serious perfect blend of Jude and Bloom. On top of that he good at anything (cooking, sewing, caprentry to architecture) and fast learner to new things. Anyone next to him would feel gorgeous...he was such a fucking charmer it was sick. Despite he knew could make anyone, I mean anyone melt.... he was never a prick about it. However, witnessing the many hearts he broke, the men he swept and the girls being pissed cause he was gay, it was such drama I could never handle or want a part of....

The trick is to be totally fucking oblivious to anything around you that doesn't directly involve foor or dancing. That's how I live my life and though my bed is empty it is also free of drama.
I'll preface this by saying that Denzel Washington is gorgeous, and I ain't Denzel Washington. That said:
When I was young - basically all the way up until I hit my sophomore year in college - I was a fat guy. The only thing that saved me from being a really fat guy was my annual summer growth spurt. Anyway, I spent my youth as the token fat guy friend, the one who was buddies with a big group, but never got invited to parties, and never got any attention from the ladies.
Over the summer of my freshman year I worked out constantly, and ate very healthy foods, and so I sheared off 60 pounds in about 3 months. That same summer, I threw out my shitty wardrobe, bought some new threads, and took control of my horrible hair. When college started up, the difference was immense. I was surrounded by women, pretty much constantly. They chatted me up in class, after class, in the cafeteria, at my job, and so on and on.
At the same time, I noticed guys wanted to hang around with me a lot more, and that they deferred to me, and gave me more respect. Some of it was my own burgeoning self confidence, but I don't think that's all it was. I "got" to be an insider - when we joked around and harshed on each other, as young guys do, the jokes directed at me weren't as cutting, they were more friendly ribbing amongst equals.
Even older folks treated me noticably different. The engineers at my mother's office - where I sometimes worked odd jobs in the summer - stopped ignoring me, and started being my good buddies. I went from being the fat nobody puttering around the building to the guy they could pop a beer and talk about guy shit with.
It stayed that way for a while, right up until I gained a bunch of weight when my wife got pregnant. Then everything reverted back to the way it was when I was young - the jokes were cutting and less friendly, and people in general just didn't pay nearly as much attention to me as they did when I was thin. I can count the number of times that women even came close to hitting on me in those years on the fingers of one hand.
Now that I'm back to being thin, and working out a lot, I'm back to being Mr. Visible. I get hit on by alot of women again, and drunk guys in bars are back to saying "I know you know what it's like hooking up with chicks at clubs" to me.
So, having been all over the attractiveness map, and having heard I'm "very handsome/sexy/whatever" often enough to occasionally believe it I guess I can say the difference for me personally is visibility.
I don't know if that really says much about what it's like, but it's what came to mind.
PS: Tomorrow morning, when my ego spirals back into its normal unhealthy self loathing levels, I'm going to read this post and hate myself for presuming to post. Hurray for low self esteem!
I knew one guy in college who slept with I swear half the girls enrolled at the school. In one way I was jealous...but that's not how I am and I'd rather be a bit safer then that.
I do wish I was in the realm of hotness like that though sometimes
