I’m going to just get right into it with my hot take of the day:

If all you’re advertising is your looks, you don’t really have much to offer.

What I want for you to get out of this article is the reality check that being hot, handsome, or cute, isn’t enough to cut it, and for your own sake, you should stop entertaining people just because they are physically attractive.

We’ll talk about why this is an issue what it leads to, as well as what we should be doing instead to create healthier dating culture as well as more appropriate social connections and interactions.

The arrogance of the attractive

This section title isn’t separating “the attractive” into an “other” category. This is also not me making this an “us vs. them” type of deal.

But I’ve noticed, particularly a lot more so from some physically attractive people, a unique kind of arrogance that you don’t find in your typical everyday person.
