Really really really ridiculously good looking people of Reddit, how did you find out you were attractive?

Digging back through old threads here, but since you never got a serious answer:

I was having a conversation with two of my close friends back in college, and I said that I felt unattractive because my sex life was really dry at that time and no one ever flirted with me. They told me to shut the fuck up "because I'm gorgeous". I remember saying: "Wait... really?" and they both started corroborating with each other.

It took me a while to make sense of it, but eventually I realized that the reason I couldn't tell if someone was flirting with me was because it happened on a daily basis. I was so acclimated that I couldn't even tell! Looking back it was really overt, but I was completely oblivious:

  • Back in the 6th grade, the girls in my bus would sneak up behind me and do a "kiss and run". I thought it was just a silly game.
  • Multiple times I've had random girls come up to me multiple times and ask me to marry them. I've been proposed to by strangers on at least 4 different instances.
  • When I go out, I don't need to put in any effort into flirting. Girls and guys will straight up grab me by the arm or cop a feel. It's funny when they collaborate with their friends to make it happen; they'll literally make formations and do things like "accidentally" pushing her into me.
  • Walking my dog, I've had girls pull over their cars to ask for my number.

Honestly, it kinda gets to the point where I can get a bit too manhandled and get sick of it... but the attention is admittedly really enjoyable.
