I think you're onto something.

"Who wouldn't love YOU???"

Yeah, the whole attractive people are jerks and less attractive people are beautiful in every other way clichés are really silly.

I've rarely found either to be true. In fact, it's often quite the opposite, actually, and that goes for both women and men. Why that is so is the topic for another thread.

There's a LOT of truth to this, fleetie. And there are at least a few regular posters in the relationship threads who I strongly suspect fit this profile.

if I'm not at least a pretty decent package, how is it possible that extremely good looking gay men have approached me/asked me out/said I was gorgeous in real life? Gay men have tons of options similar to women. Why would they do that?
Because you look gay.

I suspect that women "of similar attractivrness" are probably not what you are targeting.

hmm..... It could be. The OP has been a sharp dresser since he got his job and started earning well, if not before. That's pretty young (22/23) to be into tailored, higher-end clothes. Most guys his age are dressing in sweats or hip-hop clothes, football jerseys, etc.

You have to have attraction to someone. Attraction is not the most important factor but it IS IMPORTANT!
If you really like the women express that being healthy is a concern for you and you like to do active things. If you find the one who needs a little toning up then suggest dates that involve activities. Ask her to go hiking or walking with you in the morning, etc.
