I work with a lot of very good looking women for fashion and beauty photography. It isn't uncommon for some very beautiful women to feel suspicious about people's motives for complimenting them, or being treated with disdain for reasons they associate with their own looks.
Perhaps not a lot of guys have the same issue from women, but I can understand other people stereotyping a good looking male model as a pretty boy who doesn't have anything to offer but his God given looks - at least until he proves otherwise. That must be the down side of being dealt a good hand.

Or being thought too perfect to have any problems or needs.

My looks were rectified to the extent of my teeth being pushed back and with a high verbal and arithmetical IQ in spite of being backward in other ways, I have been ridiculed in some quarters for having difficulties.

(Fortunately, now that I am middle-aged, I look more ordinary )

I call it The Pedestal !!!!! (it exists in others' minds)

Please keep us informed.

I had the same problem for many years....(NOT!)
Either your friend unconsciously feels others dont take him serious for other reasons than his looks and doesnt realize it, or others are not taking him seriously because of the vibes he gives off. I've known guys that intimated others with their looks and physique, but thats different. I've know girls that werent taken seriously because they had huge boobs, even if they were real. But if this is true of your guy friend, he just needs to take up MMA and get his face roughed up a bit. Minah
