"You're the less-attractive Kevin Bacon."

People have compared me to a male movie-star or a male model from time to time.  The person who makes the comparison probably intends the comparison to be a compliment.  I don't really take this as a compliment.  A male model or a male movie-star has reached the current level of success he currently enjoys, in part, because he looks exceptionally good. I'm not a male model, in part, because I'm not handsome enough to be a male model. Comparing me to a male model is essentially saying I'm the not-as-attractive version of that model.
