the good thing about being good looking comes down to 2 things
1 girls might approach u or are more approachable
2 due to being good looking u'r confidence will be higher and ull know what to say much better cause u'r used to talking to ppl... mostly
I'm considered a very good looking man, but its not as though opportunities fall into my lap. I had the misconception that if I'm attractive, women should flock to me, but the reality is it doesn't work this way unless you're Bradley Cooper, perhaps.
I had to change my thinking considerably and this came about by challenging my core belief that "If I'm attractive, hot women will come to me" and replace it with something more realistic such as "As a male, I've been socialized as the 'aggressor', or more euphemistically, the "pursuer" and as such I have to take the risks, stick my neck out in approaching women". Ya, once in a while you'll have the odd women approach you, but you'll often find time and time again that they are the ones you aren't interested in.
Further, I wrestled with issues from my childhood for a number of years as I lived at home for a considerably long period of time and my mother treated me as her 'baby' (I'm the youngest of 4). Being infantalized by a parent can severely impede your ability to take ownership of your sexuality (it was so bad growing up that I was too embarrassed to date girls, let alone even TALK to one (would evoke a great deal of guilt even thinking about interacting with them); we are sexual being by nature, and I'm using this example to illustrate how aware you need to be of any limiting beliefs you might have and particularly how your environment may be impeding your growth as a sexual being (e.g. religious, parental, messages you've learned at school about sex, etc.).
