I'm a fairly tall good looking dude and I can't help but shake the feeling I have "pretty privilege"- as it we're.

Food for my morning thought I guess.

I don’t think being attractive is enough to overcome personality issues in the dating arena, but privilege of this type tends to manifest most obviously as educational/professional success in my experience. It’s like male privilege on overdrive

To be clear though I’m not freakishly attractive just above average. I had a friend in my 20s who would have girls come up to him in bars and ask him to take them home, like talk about life on easy mode. My dude was 6’3, chiseled and ate nothing but chips and salsa lol

No its not. I'd take charisma over being tall and pretty looking.

jesse-wtf cringe downbear

This is super tone deaf and pretty much a slap in the face to those who are short and not "good looking." Might as well say "yeah I'd rather be dirt poor and broke and have a good heart rather than having money not having to worry about material needs." With all due respect, go fuck yourself.

You are malding over this dude. Chill. You act as if I'm directly targeting you with some of my posts

Either you are absolutely clueless as to how you come off, or you're intentionally playing dumb. I think you're the one that needs to chill out.
