Dating an in-demand dude: snagging a hot boyfriend can be an ego boost, but some women who've been there say that it has downsides too.
Think back to the last time you eye-balled a really hot guy. Maybe you fantasized about what you'd do to him if he were between your sheets or nudged your girlfriend so she could enjoy the steamy view too. Now cast your mind back to the woman he was with. Oh, you didn't notice her?
Though bagging a way-above-average-looking guy has its benefits, it's not without pitfalls. Maybe you've experienced a few firsthand. For instance, a hot boyfriend could prompt a confident chick to question her worthiness ... or his faithfulness (it takes a strong man to thwart constant advances).
Then there's the problem of feeling invisible next to him ... or the fact that parts of a hot guy's personality sometimes atrophy when there is so much focus on his looks. All this got us wondering: Is dating a man who inspires lust in womankind all it's cracked up to be? To find out, Cosmo spoke to women who've done it.
