Hot Young Guys Haven't Got a Clue.


Mark Arbour

1,864 views

I think it's one of the great ironies in life that when we are young and at our hottest, our insecurities simultaneously blind us to that fact. I've seen that with lots of guys on this site. Guys like Lacey (he's so cute) or Patrick (with those amazing blue eyes) or even Chase (with his faux-asshole attitude), who have no idea how amazingly handsome and attractive they are. Well, maybe Chase does. biggrin.gif

 

I think back some twenty five years ago and look at pictures of myself back then, and remember how I felt exactly the same way. And damn, I was hot back then. Back then.sad.gif I didn't know it. I didn't get it at all. I thought about the guys around me that I was most attracted to, the ones who I'd fall down on my knees for. So to speak. They really weren't any more attractive than I was, or than my other friends were. They were just more confident. It was like they'd figured out the secret, the magic riddle. They'd managed to decipher that if they gave themselves credit for their looks and their charm, they'd project that confidence, and increase their attractiveness exponentially.

 

I'm not one of those guys who sits around and pines away for "the old days", but that's one lesson I wish I would have learned.

Very interesting comments, Mark. I'm surprised that you picked out the very same three young men I would have selected...all handsome but with very different personalities and outlooks on life.

 

Lacey, by the way, doesn't like to be called cute, but everyone else knows he is, as is his boyfriend. We should all be saying a prayer (or holding whatever thoughts are appropriate for each of us) for Lacey today as he undergoes a liver transplant...prayers for him and his mother (the donor) for a full recovery and good health.

 

Patrick does have amazing blue eyes, but they are only one of his great assets.

 

Chase seems to agree with your assessment of him. :P

 

I have to think back fifty years to remember the good looking classmates I had. The thing that strikes me most is how much things have changed in fifty years. More striking still is how little has changed.

Speaking of hot young guys, I forgot to mention you Chris. When Lacey's feeling better, tell him I was hitting on you again. tongue.gif

Lacey told me they had rescheduled that surgery, but not exactly when. I also join in the well wishing for him and his mom. I hope Chris will keep us posted.

 

Hey, Mark, Chris's major problem with telling him that is that they each tell each other when I hit on them! tongue.gif

is offended that i wasn't listed in this group of guys :( Like really you told me i was adorable in my blog :).. I should be on this list. Jk Jk!

 

was going through old pictures of myself in a big box of photo's lol i had some weird trends going on like Hair like Elvis. And a Jacket that would put Edward Cullen's to shame :) totally gotta scan that picture lol.

 

So weird how you look back on the people who you were attracted to back then. Being from a small town it's funny cuz i'll run into people who i used to be like WOW!! He's so hot. Now i see them and im like "what was i thinking?" Though there is 2 guys who i can run into from time to time and they'll still take my breathe away. And man i hate that! and i swear they know it too.

 

Growing up i was that ackward kid and back when i was interested in girls they all told me i was ugly and stuff. Fast forward.. 17 comes along move to the city boys start hitting on me. My brain went "f**k you girls! The boys think im hot" A gay was born :) My girl friends who have feelings for me are like "Damn us girls shoulda been nicer to you your such a catch" ha ha. Though i'm still that ackward person on the inside. Gotta have lots of confidence though or try too.

I'm sorry Mattie. I guess I just figured you weren't plagued by those insecurities.biggrin.gif If I'd call Lacey cute, I'd call you "adorable".

Mark, I agree with ya. I've looked at photos of myself when I was 19 and still hadn't let myself go...and think, "Damn, I used to look good."

 

I never really had fun with that, though. Oh, well.

I've started to realize this, and it is mostly true.

I've gotten with some pretty hot guys in my day, just because of my confidence.

Hopefully, since I've realized that while I'm so young (I'm an old soul) I'll be able to bed and wed all the guys I have my eye on. Problem is that when I start putting this into practice, it never works with the guys I'm romanticly interested in, only the one's who's pants I want to get into. It's like I'm shy about my relationship size. Maybe I'm just a grower, not a shower.
