Was your narc attractive or exceptionally handsome/beautiful

I was wondering if people that are conventionally attractive are more prone to narcissism?
It would make sense that if people, your family, friends, commented on your attractiveness it would build your ego! I can imagine there ate some narcs who have other devices but being facially perfect or physically honed would be an asset in your narcdom, don't you think!?
Both my narcs are very handsome! And know it!

Mine is, but he's short and

Mine is, but he's short and has very small hands (not small in other areas though!) One thing about mine, he looks different in every single picture I have of him. The chameleon in him really stands out, even when I was under his spell I noticed how different he could look from one minute to the next.

Question regarding my ex-N's looks

My ex-N is defined by most women as hot or a Greek God. You know what's funny though? I've always been drawn to really intelligent men...I find that when I'm attracted to a man's mind, i'm pretty much attracted to him all around. Back before I knew what the ex-N was, I use to think he was the most attractive man I'd ever seen. However, he's the only man who lacked any intelligence from any of the men I've been attracted to before. He was more eye candy than anything...isn't really cultured, not smart...just the bare basics of common sense. He's able to fake being smart, but if you asked him ANY in depth questions about anything, he wouldn't know. He doesn't read, watch movies, travel or do much of anything...except workout, watch football and go to bars/clubs and drink. Now when I think of him all I think of, is a disgusting N who deserves nothing but pain and suffering that he has caused and continues to cause others. TovaBella

Yes, he's exotic looking

He is the proverbial tall, dark, handsome, throw in the foreign accent and the girls here just swooned over him. Also, looking good was always a top priority, dressed up to just go hang out in cafe's with his buddies... And then in his country the appeal was/is, ahh, he's a us citizen now, he's got money and if I make nice he'll take me to america. But he is still handsome to me very much... :(

they can be many different

they can be many different things to different people. They mirror the behavior of the person they are with that makes them fatally attractive.

I believe this too. Because

I believe this too. Because he is very arrogant now and looks down on me alot. He told me the last time i talked to him that "just because i don't work don't come up to his job trying to get him in trouble". I was returning some crap he shouldn't have left to start with and I told him excuse me I don't work? First of not only do I take care of his children alone by myself now , one of which has autism, I work part-time I will also be going back to school soon too. See this is something he has gotten from this OW because I'm not in the corporate world my job now is considered not working but he isn't corporate either he is a damn security guard who maybe losing his job in June but I don't work. I know he is mirroring her.

Ive been attractive all my

Ive been attractive all my life my oldest friends always said Beautiful, that didnt make me a narc. Mine was good looking, handsome, and spent the better part of his life at gym he was very driven to look built. he passed his unhealthy obssession to look body builder hero on to his son. I think the love of self makes them seem confident and confidence and arrogance when coupled with mystery which they create around themselves, are fatally attractive.

Classically good looking....

Mr. N looks like your all American classically good looking guy...a lot of Brad Pit, a dash of Paul Walker, with a little Kevin Bacon and a body that made me melt. Oh yeh...he knew he was good looking, but loved it when I told him so.

Mines was not attractive to

Mines was not attractive to me. He was someone who grew on me. Part of my reason for being with him was I had got out of a relationship with a nice looking broke jerk who also was abusive. So I thought if I scaled down a bit I would meet a better man. SMH was I ever wrong. My N thinks he is all that when some woman tells him these things or pays attention to him . He thrives off of compliments and tells me everytime someone gives him one. He goes to gyms alot and works out alot. Ever since I've known him he has had a gym membership . One time he took me on a visitor's pass and I was getting some stares and looks from other men and needless to say that was my only time I went with him to the gym.

The most ridiculous thing

The most ridiculous thing happened to me so women, be warned: When I met him i was "done with the bad boys" and had decided to go for nice guy, even if it meant boring. He looked good, he had been extremely hot just a few year before, but had started the process of putting on some weight. His face is beautiful... Yeah he's good looking. But not a typical "bad boy" face at all, i really thought i had finally found my "boring nice guy" lol....

He could've been an ACTOR or a MODEL

The ex-Psych prof, when I *FIRST* met him, was tanned, slim, and handsome... and despite being a native-born Californian (he married an Angeleno), he had been in New England from the age of 7. I really expected him to bring back a supermodel/glamorous bimbo girlfriend... but she ended up being very androgynous&manly(!!!) She was more of the Trinity character in "The Matrix" than say, Christy Turlington, Linda Evangelista or Padma Lakshmi (the Top Chef hostess who graduated from the same college as him) When I first met the ex-P, he literally struck poses. Once, he came to the coffee shop my freshman year, with his shirt open to his navel (it was obvious he shaved his chest)... and I was in awe. He could've passed as Colin Firth's twin. They looked similar. But over a 4 year period, his looks went downhill. His crows' feet became more pronounced. He paunched out. By the final D&D, he had a beer belly. His teeth were rotting away (they had been since my freshman year) After the final D&D, I told him that since he saw teaching merely as a *ROLE*, he should've joined his girlfriend in LA, got himself an agent, hit the gym, slimmed down, brushed his teeth... and he could've been an actor/model. It was sad watching him getting fat&lose his looks. He went downhill... and he's never gotten it back. As one poster here said, he looks like a "fat grandpa."

cute not handsome - not a pretty boy

Classic bad boy, very cute boyish charm, big grin, fun loving, tall, athletic and confident with women - hot at all handsome but he thought he was. I was not attracted to him at all at first - too goofy but the charm was seductive (and his ex fame is in an area that is of interest to me so we had that in common).

Nope, friend said he was fugly

I have been with some good-looking men, but my exN wasn't one of them. His face was "average" but that was perhaps generous. He had a big nose and skeletal cheekbones, sandy brown hair (wavy and a bit long), most of the time he had facial hair. He had a good body though, not real tall 5'11-6'. His lure, if you will, was his music and charm. He wrote and played music, was witty, and funny. He could play on words, and I love that. When he would play music at home, he had a microphone that he always sang into, even by himself. He would act like he was performing. He never played in a band or performed. He was a wannabe. My bf before him was handsome, 6'3", brown hair (nicely groomed), and clean shaven. I think I was drawn in and intrigued by my exN. I used to compare it to Phantom of the Opera. ExN being the phantom, lol, who I ended up choosing. I should say I am pretty, at least I get told that a lot.

Oh lord mine was so hansom it

Oh lord mine was so hansom it made you weep . Take last Saturday night when i was at my gig and narc came outside whilst i was having a fag and as he walked his narc walk a women i have never met before who was talking stopped talking and just stared at him open mouthed and even said "WOW" It made me laugh a bit and i felt like saying to her "dont encourage him for god sake " he was giving it the large , he looked almost spritual and full of supply as he had just kissed the ow infrount of me and he had come to me for another dose of energy but i didnt give him any .. Its funny though as i have pictures of him where he looks just like a lizard . A narc can change his persona to who ever he is with at the time and there has been reports of women being out and seeing her narc husband and not even recognizing him as his whole persona had changed , his body languge etc was completely diffrent from who she knew .I kind of get that as my narc has many personas .. its not the same as normal people change a bit to suite who we are with , i mean i am a bit diffrent if i talk to my boss compared to my girlfrieds , a narc psycopath can become a completely diffrent person .. the funnyest persona i saw in my narc was when he was talking to some young black kids and my narc started to talk in a west indian accent to them lol ... i just wanted the world to swollow me up i was so embarrised .. he is such a looser .. xx

Yes, funny how I just commented on how the N changes to fit his partner, and I had not read your post. I saw pics of him with an ex-wife, and yes his body language was different, seemed softer, slouchy, and had a boyish, innocent smile. With me, he seemed more erect, stand-offish, possessive, and harder. He'd have to force a smile. She was obese and unattractive, and I am thin and pretty. I don't know if that had anything to do with it. They were from the same area of the country, and I think she was very subservient and kissed his butt, lots of compliments (as another one of his large, unattractive ex's did).

I think narcette is

I think narcette is cute...pretty But when I was under her spell...she was STUNNING and GORGEOUS to me :) She always let me know she was more attractive than I was....there was an element of competitiveness she had with me. I don't know why....I simply worshipped her and didn't try to compete at all.... ~KG

lol--she's sooooo annoying! So glad you're out of that web of destruction! I cannot IMAGINE telling another human being, I look better than you. Good Lord. These people are something else. Mine was rugged looking. I don't like pretty boys. He was very strong, masculine...deep voice. Tattoos. Now, when I see pics of him on that site...I want to vomit. I don't see anything appealing about him. If anything, he has an 'evil' look in his eye, that I never quite picked up on during our time together. Devil incarnate I tell ya! He always thought I was beautiful, though. Even when I broke things off...he was like...''you're beautiful dee...probably have guys lined up the block by now.'' But, sometimes I think he said those things to keep me locked in. Bad mixed with good...over and over...and a woman becomes confused. WHATEV! I'm heading out for the weekend...hope you all have great days!

Your exN sounds like he had that bad-boy "rugged" thing going like mine did. That was part of what intrigued me. Next time, I think I will look for more of a balance b/t nice guy and bad boy, lol. Mine was also a biker with his third wife. Not that all bikers are bad. One thing I noticed about him was how he would change to fit his partners' likes. Third wife liked motorcycles, so he did. Second wife was really into Nascar, so he was. He did not have his own identity and that bothered me. Have a good weekend!

he thought he was

Actually, at first, I thought he looked old and ugly, and even kind of cadaverous. I think I saw him for a long time, as being more attractive than he really was because I blinded myself to his overall old and ugliness. I'm not talking about a normal elderly appearance but something far worse like he was half dead, but I ignored those feelings. I wish I had stayed with those first impressions of him. Ewww...UGLY! He looked positively repulsive to me. I think I was looking at his real self that he hides behind his "good guy" mask. To make him palatable to me, I had look for a few characteristics I could find reasonably attractive like his brown eyes and smile. Otherwise, his body looked kind of old, deformed and withered to me. Just before the D&D, he turned old and ugly again. Me thinks because I was being cut off, he wasn't getting to my life force vitality, and was looking as dead outside as he was inside.

Not really

Mine is not drop dead handsome. But to me he was. I still get weak in the knees if I see him. But, I have had an attraction to him for 20 years.. He never recognized i existed until 7 months ago. My gf's would always say he's gross and weird. They tried to tell me to stay away. They saw all the signs I saw none. I must admit they have stood by me and supported me thru all of this. But, they will remind me often.. I told you so.
