It is safe to say that Hollywood A-List actors Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt will never have this problem. They are both extremely gorgeous people and they have the votes from around the world from gossip websites to well-known magazines to prove it.
Even if Brangelina weren’t a couple, with their looks they would be fending off suitors by the handful. It’s safe to assume they wouldn’t have to consider using an internet dating site!
Normally two good-looking people always grab the crowds’ attention, but what happens when you are the one dating a drop dead gorgeous mate? How would you handle it? Also if this has happened to you, did you handle it well?
When I was younger, I did date a man who was very handsome. There were even times I thought to myself, what was he doing with me? I mean, I was cute, but only in a girl next door way. He, on the other hand was quite good looking; very good looking to be exact. When we were together women would swoon. Guys would even look as we walked by.
But when we were out together, people looked at him, not at me. It wasn’t something I was used to. We didn’t date for long and although I was sad when we broke up, I was happy the relationship was over. I was simply too insecure to date someone better looking than myself.
When I stop and think about it, his looks weren’t the issue. How I dealt with them was. He was just a nice guy looking for love and he obviously found me attractive enough to date. I’d dreamed about the man with movie star looks since I was a teen, but now that I’d found him I didn’t know what to do with him. I couldn’t enjoy him for the funny person he was; his looks got in the way.
As I have grown older, I realize how silly I was then and that looks don’t really matter. It is the first thing that we see when meeting someone but once you talk the personality and things you have in common are going to be the things that take you to the next level.
Well life has given me a second chance. I’m currently seeing someone even better looking than before (who knew that it was even possible?). Now when we hold hands in public and the ladies swoon, I smile, and mean it. My guy is as handsome in the inside as he is on the outside. And I’m secure enough in my own strengths that his looks just aren’t an issue.
