As a guy, how do you know you if you are considered attractive?

At sleepovers I recall guys usually wanted to explore a bit more than what is considered “heteronormative behavior.” I had fun with it, but I was never the one to encourage it, that would be my “straight” friends who seemed to be the most intrigued by exploring what I had underneath…

Dog whistling, I have gotten whistled at by men and women alike. Females are far less creepy about it though I’ll note.

If all your friends comment that a specific woman is hot and then that woman is only interested in you, chances are your attractive too, thats why she picked you over any of your friends…

Hello,hope y'all doin good, i came to Quora to share my strange story , a very weird one , a story when luck smiled at me ,maybe u will enjoy it , let's begin,have fun... A year ago ,I was a real porn addicted(btw I was 18) ,but never had sex before, I don't have a gf I didn't try to find one even ,always thinking to go to find a sex worker but then I just don't , everyday watching different bodies getting fucked and everyday enjoying. One day, I was watching porn, a big ass lady with big boobs ,just after seeing her the image of my female cousin poped in my mind, (let's introduce her : she's 35 years old , very big ass , nice boobs ,not very big but nice,always wearing tight clothes , she's divorced ) and I thought of me fucking her ,I never had sexual desires for her but now I do days went by and when I met her I was so horny ,I couldn't stay with the family cz my penis was clearly erected , I realized this is my first time I get horny for one of my family ,it not illegal in my country.well to make a long story short( if u want details just text me I will tell u 😊),I decided to give her signs that I want to fuck her,finally I decided to have sex and with my cousin , I thought it is the best beggining for me, i started touching her when I came across her in a narrow place , make her feel my hard cock when we hug , I thought it will hard and I will be ashamed but no , I felt nothing and she said nothing , probably she thought it was by mistake,anyways, I decided then to talk with her about sex, waited for her to be alone in a room and talk with her, I confessed everything about me watching porn and addicted..etc,she said it's normal and u are growing up and u must have sex,well at that time I was like whaaat????? Well I didn't control myself and asked her for sex ( horny like I Ve never been before) she said that she will think Abt it ,2 weeka went by then she called me ,telling that she reserved a room in a hotel and we meet tonight ,we met,and bruuhh, sex is great , I mean, I had to find a pirstitue ,what I was waiting for to have such a feeling ????, I will never forget that night, I started kissing her she was kissing hard ,she misses sex so bad , she sucked my dick and swallowed my semen ,I felt I'm in a dream , then when fucked ,her ass was very big and the anus was open ,didn't struggle to get my hard cock inside it , she was obviously missing sex , she was shouting ,fuck me yh fuck me , I go fast after every word until I cum , we did that 3 times , then we went to her pussy , using condoms I fucked her so hard the moans were higher , everything was perfect ,in the end I asked her to lick her body , licked pussy ,ass, boobs,then she sucked my cock until we sleeped ,all I know that she was dirty ,well before even having sex with her I knew she is an open minded woman , and a woman that looks that she donesnt know anything , but she knows everything, but never expected having sex with her ,well she was horny and that helped...but no one of us regretted that sex ever.. We still have sex from time to time ,and I started having sex with sex workers , joining threesomes..etc If u want pics of her text me.

The staring, when out and about, especially when combined with dropped jaws, stumbling words, blushing, and repeated glances after… (With guys, if they subconsciously rub at their groin to adjust the slightly growing member into a more comfortable angle, than its a big indication as well… though that can be a tad uncomfy if they persistently mess with it while making eye contact…)

One that stands out to me, is that I have only ever gotten jobs when it was a female hiring manager… To date every male hiring manager passed me over while every female has given me the job after the first in-person interview. A coincidence or is it an example of the halo/ horn effects in action?

Getting asked out by young women as you walk down the street… They may start by asking your name, acting like you know each other through mutual friends, just to follow up asking for your number…

On the topic of guys in middle school, I remember receiving a bit of sexual harassment/ assaults as well… In wrestling a couple of the guys would sometimes dry hump me at practice if I was below them… Some would grab my butt, crouch, finger me through my clothing or other sexual gestures. Some guys also did things like exposing themselves to me or flexing their muscles/ showing off when it was just us; the showing off could be normal, but it came across as more of an invitation/ attempts at seduction…

I did try to explore with females a bit more in college for the sake of knowledge/ experience. I remember being at a party and a pretty girl I didn't know, literally mauled my face with her tongue when I came in the room. She wanted to go to one of the bedrooms and I wanted to get away from her. She was attractive, blonde, blue eyes, tall, lean, large breasts/ butt and clearly aroused, but lacked some of the basic essentials for my arousal… a cock and a lot of muscle for instance… Considering how easy it was to find pretty girls wanting to strip down with me though, I’d say that indicates attractiveness…

On the topic of media, if you have ever been offered a modeling role, or if people frequently ask if you are a model, have an Onlyfans or would like to join them on their subscription XXX content, chances are your attractive…

What is Quora? Are there any tips?

In line with that, sadly even parents can let their beauty bias show… My parents both seemed to like myself and my attractive siblings more than my less attractive siblings. Our behaviors were the same, but my parents just have never liked them as much… (There are 10 kids so there is a bit of room for favoritism.) My Dad has always despised my least attractive brother and I suspect it is in large part due to his lack of masculine and attractive features… as my Dad cares a lot about social perception. With that said the fact that I was liked, indicates my positive physical appeal even if in a disturbing way.

If men walking with females act extra possessive when your close, your possibly attractive. (If combined with the other indications.)

Who knows, maybe I have taken all these indications the wrong way and I’m actually less than appealing, you can decide for yourself if my perspective is worthy of considering…

Why do liberals think same-sex marriage is alright? The Bible makes it very clear that it's not alright to be gay, why can't liberals understand that?

Of course the compliments are a starter, if you get them frequently, especially from strangers… than your attractive (Especially if its is a lesbian woman giving the compliment, when I get those I am always taken a back.)

Children are drawn in… not necessarily that they will come up to you, but they will stay close by… I guess like all people they just enjoy being around attractive people. Its psychologically pleasing to be near/ see beauty and kids are usually the least discrete. If your unattractive, kids will be the first to let ya know, or at the very least they will avoid you…

On the topic of apps, if you notice that a chunck of the individuals you are interested in and that want you back, have Onlyfans, chances are your attractive… (People pay to see what you get to experience for free)

Why are flat Earthers made fun of when they seemingly don't exist? I have only met one flat Earther in 18 years.

Some less common, but unique situations that indicated to me my own attractiveness below…

Some of the most common indications I have noticed…

Around the same time period, when I was in 7th grade, a couple of older girls were interested. I was okay with exploring with the first girl, she was a Jr and I knew it would score me bragging points with my middle school friends, whom were all still being ignored by females… A couple weeks later that girl’s older friend wanted a turn and she was very pushy… I was 13yrs old at the time, and she was a Sr in HS. I went along with it initially, but she freaked me out… I hadn’t even really hit puberty yet and she certainly had… The hair mound made my closeted gay ass gag and run out of my own bedroom. I had zero interest in continuing to explore with women. However, the fact multiple older girls were wanting to get with my virgin ass was an indication…

What is your favourite true story to tell at a party?

On the topic of the Halo effect, I received a lot of scholarships which covered all of my schooling. However, while there were many other winners to choose from to represent the various foundations, I was selected to do the picture ops to bring in new donations for multiple of the scholarships… I guess they each liked my smile/ look…

Sometimes smiles can be indication, but that one is tricky, as it can just be friendly, and a lot of people freeze up when a hot person is around, so they may not have a smile, but instead a half choked expression…

By high school I began to come to terms with my own sexuality and began to explore the world of Grindr. Big mistake considering my age, the pedos came flying in. Constantly messaging me offers of money in exchange for sex or even just spending time with them. Im sure most gay men get these messages, but I also don't doubt the quantity correlates to your attractiveness… I’ll add, Im now 25 yrs old and still get these unsolicited offers regularly.

Why doesn't speeding significantly decrease one’s commute time? I've done a lot of road trips and driving and have experimented by increasing speed by 10–20%, but somehow this never equates to arriving 20% sooner, even on clear roads.

New females usually question me intently about my sexuality. Questioning if I could truly have no desire for them, or if I could at least try, potentially with them… lmao not how it works, but again the fact they care so much, an indication.

Since childhood the girls had a tendency to like spending time with me and the groups of them would constantly whisper and giggle when I walked by. Many wanted to be my “girlfriend” including most previous female friends, which I had many of. (One girl even offered to pay $20 in 3rd grade to date her for a week. Needless to say my Mom wasn’t happy about the idea and I told the girl no the next day. A week later the girl came to class with a bag of change and $1 bills. I had to reiterate I wasn't going to date her for $20. That same year, that same girl told her friends/ group to pull my pants down at recess… I was the one not so happy that time. For the rest of the year I had to tolerate their sexual harassment.)

On the topic of arrangements, I once had a Mom try to arrange a marriage between myself and her daughter that I have never even met, good indication that the Mom thought I have good DNA… (I live in the Colorado, USA, not Utah, so no, arranged marriages are not normal, and I was shocked and naturally furious, as that is a form of sexual slavery, plus Im gay!

Some others that come to mind would be dealing with customers. It seems like so many want to talk about my personal life… especially my dating life… an indication. Especially if when you blow them off, they get mad, huge indication they were shooting out of their league and that they are now embarrassed… (For men mostly, I haven't seen women act in this way at the same rate.)

By middle school I started getting more attention from males… They would call me “pretty boy,” or “Bieber,” and had a tendency to want to compete against me more than others. As if I were the one preventing them from attaining their desired social status. I particularly remember a number of guys wanting to prove they could “beat me,” be it in wrestling, football, or in a fight. They rarely could. (My first year in wrestling in 6th grade, I was placed on the A Team and went undefeated all three years I competed, before developing chronic and debilitating anxiety from the external pressure and intense routine.)
