Here are some of the opinions and thoughts of parents around the world on the question “Why Are Handsome People Scary?”

Why are handsome men scary?

We are often intimidated by people who appear to be superior to us in talent, intelligence, or even wealth. We may feel less worthy than others.
“Am I good enough?” is a common question that most people ask.
In a world where appearance is often the most important thing, we may feel especially intimidated around people who are clearly superior to us in that regard.
When you are physically attracted to an individual, this feeling is understandable. There is more at stake in this case. Does he like me? The whole complexity of romantic attraction is about interaction. There is more at stake, so there is more at stake.

Most of the time we are with unattractive people, so that is our “comfort zone.” That is the “normal world” we live in.
Attractive people are rare, so when you come across one, you feel like you are entering a foreign and hostile country. You feel uncomfortable.
Also, those people are among the majority of unattractive people at that time (in their “comfort zone”) which is not helpful because they seem calmer than you. You have approached that unnatural environment.
In our society, beauty is highly valued. Also, social status and money. Since beauty is unlimited, it is even more valuable.
Imagine you walk into a room filled with a group of people who you consider ordinary, but in fact you are informed in advance that they are all very rich and powerful. Yes! They have become important. Everything they say is meaningful and appreciated. Everything they do is meaningful. The way they act is important.
Same beauty. We don't care about average people. Only when they have our admiration can we start worrying about what they think of us. We don't care how an average looking person perceives us as a stranger.
However, our minds treat beauty as a big deal because of its importance.
How to reduce fear of them? Remember that those individuals already live on this planet. If (assuming you are average or above average) there are 6–7/10 people in the room who are less attractive than you, then 9/10 people around an attractive person will be less attractive than her.

You haven't succeeded in getting her attention. She doesn't look at you with the same scrutiny you're doing right now. You're not making an impression.
You're not being dramatic. No one is judging you the moment you're in the room with a beautiful person. In fact, everyone else in the room is busy judging her.

I want to highlight a flaw in the thinking of many people here: they seem to look down on attractive people as if they haven't done anything to be attractive.
People here think they're average or less attractive and may be a little jealous of very attractive people. Attractive people usually work a lot to look more attractive. Every attractive girl out there probably works out at the gym, eats healthy food, and wears makeup when she goes out.
I want to point out to everyone out there that people who think they're average are disappointed in their confidence and attractiveness. Those girls even go to the gym every day to improve their appearance and attractiveness. Therefore, I believe that it is unreasonable to go to her and expect to be dating if you do not make an effort to eat healthy, exercise, dress well and look great.
No matter how you are when you have prominent muscles and a slim body, women will notice you. One way to boost your confidence is to work hard, work out at the gym and eat protein weekly. When you see your body change and become sexy, know that you have persevered and achieved positive results. I have pushed myself and really accomplished and changed myself, and remembering that hard work makes me proud and full of confidence knowing that it is the result of those efforts.
Also, I like the concept of being as attractive and appealing as possible to my girlfriend. I believe that working out regularly to look as attractive as possible to her is just a way to show her that I care about her and then make her jealous of other girls when I am with her.
However, if you realize that putting in the effort to dress well and be in shape actually shows that you are putting in the effort to look good in front of her, then that is what she deserves. Also, if you do not care about your appearance, do not eat healthy, are not active and do not have a good figure, then you are basically living an inappropriate lifestyle. Maturity and self-esteem are shown by taking care of and respecting your body to look good.

It has to do with our personal feelings. In some situations, a handsome guy can feel threatened because they can attract all the attention. They represent things that the media cannot achieve or respect, We may suddenly realize any flaws or insecurities about ourselves, which can make us feel inferior or inadequate.
The person and their nature determine the answer. They are often like us and may feel their own flaws. Some handsome people do not think honestly about themselves because they received negative feedback when they were young. The people who feel most helpless are those who are arrogant and think they are better than us. If we felt secure and happy with ourselves, we would not have to behave this way.

Because handsome men are horrible monsters.
Although I regret betraying my brothers, the truth has come to light. It's all true. Romance novels don't lie. Men become legendary creatures of the night when they reach a certain level of allure. Some individuals have sharp teeth twice as big and are capable of opening the tightest of jars. We are immortals, shiny vampires, werewolves, and BDSM lovers.
You find us scary because women have a subconscious mechanism to perceive this truth about handsome men. Werewolves should intimidate you. That's normal. During the winter solstice, the Calvin Klein model on the front of that underwear package turns into a Minotaur. There's nothing wrong with making yourself comfortable around him!
Another explanation could be that you fear rejection and all the social consequences you've learned about rejection, while your strong desire to be accepted and connected to a handsome man is amplified. That's certainly possible, but it's up to you which explanation you think is more likely.

That's because the woman would have had the opportunity to mate with him if she waited for him. And since being threatened motivates aggressive behavior, that trait has been passed down more often in our evolution. This trait allows us to mate with better, healthier, or more useful mates more often.
If she gets rejected first, it could cause her to completely stop thinking about him, even though he's a good mate. (This makes women less likely to mate if other men see that she's been rejected.)
Furthermore, he may criticize her for needing to avoid it because men evolved to avoid promiscuous women, and if she did it to him, it means she is likely to do it to other men. Also, he may not believe that the perception gene means that many men have passed it on successfully.
If a man is intimidated by an attractive man—and if he is straight—it may be because his ancestors learned that women judge a man by guessing how other men feel about him. Women evolved to judge a man’s best mate, so they compare.
If he gets help from other men, it shows that he is one of the better mates in the group. If a man finds another attractive, it may be because he knows that those traits attract women. So if he is accepted by an attractive man, he is one step closer to being ranked higher than him in the male dominance hierarchy.
He is more likely to be considered a good mate by women. However, if an attractive man rejects him, he risks being ranked lower than him in the dominance hierarchy. And men have evolved to avoid being demoted in the hierarchy. Men have evolved traits that help them compete and pass on their genes. However, an attractive man will also attract women and allow him to interact with more women and stay and socialize without being chased away.
The threat will encourage the behavior necessary to not ruin his chances of being ranked more favorably than the attractive man.

Untrustworthy men, despite their attractiveness. This may be unfair to the millions of perfectly trustworthy handsome men around the world.
However, my experience when I was young and “on the market” was that the more handsome a guy was, the more attractive he was. I think handsome men are always looking for someone more beautiful than the last one, perhaps to cheat on their current spouse or girlfriend, because they know they can get most of the women they want. While I hope this view changes, I have serious doubts.
I believe that a man who is likeable, cheerful, kind and has a bright smile is always a better choice than any woman
Forgive me, all you lovely men who would never think of cheating on their wives and girlfriends.

We compare ourselves to them without knowing it, which makes them scary. We don’t feel inferior to them, instead, our state of “evaluation” is frustrating—even if it only lasts for a few seconds.
People of average appearance will not go through this “process” because they will not feel the need to compare or even compete.
Also, when we encounter beautiful people, whether men or women, we actually feel competitive because it takes time to “figure out” how to deal with a potential rival.
Even if you are a woman and suddenly see a physically attractive man (or vice versa), you have to confront your ego and evaluate yourself, him or her, and the outcome of the interaction. All of these mental processes make the interaction more stressful.

Of course, it is normal for a person to feel stressed in a difficult situation because “testing” their abilities requires mental (and generally physical) effort.
The mechanism is triggered when we meet an attractive person or when we complete a test with high requirements!
An exam is still an exam, even if we are very good or well prepared! Therefore, we need to focus and be ready for a “challenge”….
- Gil
It is completely normal. Very beautiful people often make many people afraid.
People feel scared and helpless.
If a super handsome person is of the opposite sex, it can cause desire and fear.
That is why average or below average people do not cause fear, nor do they cause desire or a feeling of inadequacy.
