What is it like being attractive?

Saw a post by a guy in the deadzone and he described some nice interactions he had with two girls at school. <br><br>I’ve never had anything like that. I’ve always been told how stupid I am or being bullied for my looks. I’ve had two people compliment me in my entire life. I’ve had no luck in school and university with girls.<br><br>I’ve given up on having a dating life at 26. I’ve been alone for so long. I’m just curious what it feels like to have someone smile back at you and take a liking to you. I’ve always been scared to try or approach someone because I’m sure they’ll see through my looks.
