Yes.
I was told I was homely by nearly everyone when I was young.
I lost a lot of weight, started working out, and my complexion cleared. At some point, female friends started to tell me I was handsome and I should stop leading women on.
The thing is I had been treating women the same, apparently their willingness to take my advances seriously had changed. So I only innocently flirt with now with women who are too old or young for me, or who are acting like they have had a bad day, And I flirt with them in front of their girlfriends and husbands.
Women I am interested in I let come to me.
