Super attractive people of reddit, what's an advantage you get everyone else does not?

It's kind of ridiculous for me to respond to this because I don't view myself any differently than anybody else but I will anyway. Firstly, I would hardly consider myself as 'super attractive' but others would probably say I'm more attractive than normal and can get by by my looks alone at times. This is purely from a guy's perspective. Attractive women face an entirely different world.

If you're muscular, drunk guys like to pick fights with you. Unconfident men will never look you in the eye. Confident guys love to befriend you and only want to talk about bodybuilding or women. Really wealthy people like being seen with you. That part is weird and I have a few stories about that for another time.

I wish I could explain some primal reason why all of the things mentioned above happens but it just does.

Women don't just flock to you just because you're attractive unless they're 'sluts', drunk, or you're some form of famous/high status.

Confident women will still approach you but never tip their hand. They'll give you clues and wait for you to hit on them. Unconfident women will just stare at you from the other side of the bar and either be too intimidated to approach you or really hope you just approach them. That isn't to say every woman is attracted to you. Even if you're physically attractive, you can have low confidence or be a douchebag or have zero people skills. These things aren't attractive to women worth pursuing.

In terms of being in public as a guy, you aren't treated differently. You can probably get away with flirting more with women in public because they're more receptive to attractive men hitting on them but that's literally it. You don't get out of speeding tickets or turn heads like women would.

At work, nobody gives a fuck. If you've worked somewhere long enough, people see through your looks whether you're a man or woman and see all of your flaws and weaknesses. It's the same in dating. I've dated pageant winners and women who look like pageant winners. After so much time you better find something beyond their looks to satisfy yourself and same goes for them. If she doesn't offer anything beyond her appearance and FOR SURE if a guy doesn't offer anything beyond his appearence, it won't last.

It's cool to feel confident in yourself but I promise you that you can have similar confidence without having great looks. There's really no magical gifts that are dropped at your door for being an attractive man. Your personality will get you so much further. If you're attractive AND have a good personality? Game over son.
