As a straight girl, I notice when women are beautiful/sexy. Do straight guys notice other guys the same way?

[Skye199]

I definitely notice when girls/women are sexy. For a while I thought I might even be attracted to them, but I finally decided that it's more admiration and artistic appreciation than anything else. If someone is hot, then people tend to prefer looking at them, right? That's why it's alway puzzled me that some straight guys do the "how could I possibly tell if they are attractive or not?" thing when someone asks them or whatever. It's like, just because you're straight doesn't mean you're blind. And just because you think a guy is an attractive person doesn't mean you're gay. So I was wondering if any guys thought the same way? Is it just that some guys feel uncomfortable saying what they think because people could get the wrong idea? Or do you think women in general tend to appreciate how thier own gender looks more than men?

I think that straight guys notice when other guys are hot, obviously; we're all human.

I don't think straight guys notice when guys are hot as much as girls notice other girls.

I used to be unable to because I was conditioned to make sure I would never ever be gay, but once I got past the whole "all homosexuals should die they are all biological anomalies incapable of reproduction anyways" stage that I was raised into, I have relearned the ability to assess if a male is generally attractive or not.

Ok...

[Mesonfielde]

@fulloflife I know, right?

[DBAOracle]

I do notice. Sometimes I'd just see a dude and just be like "he probably gets a good amount of girl attention" and I'm straight and I never think of them sexually or anything like that.

[desidoll]

From what my guy friends told me, they secretly do but they won't tell it. It just their ego. So far mixing a lot with the opposite gender, I hardly hear any of them compliment other good looking guys.

[idkwtftoputhere]

they probably do notice except they'll never say it out loud unless they say "no homo" 300000000x afterwards because they're so afraid of looking gay holy fuck

[justbanANNAz]

I'm pretty sure they do, but they probably don't process it like us girls.

[mik3y81]

I think that guys notice, but maybe you should word your question differently. If you ask a guy, "Do you think Brad Pitt is attractive?" maybe he thinks you're asking if he is attracted to Brad Pitt. Or maybe he's just being careful so his answer doesn't sound like, "I am attracted to Brad Pitt."

Anyway, just try asking it in a more general way. Some guys are too sensitive.

[MeLoveBogota]

Believe me guys can tell very good if man is attractive. But they can't say it because they are afraid to be Seen AS gay. So they call the guy gay. Its their aknowlegment of bis attractive in a kind weird way. Or other hostile reaction. This shows that they can really good Assess a man attracitvness BC they are threatend.

Barely notice at all. Naturally I place them somewhere on the list and scale - I don't think that was the question - but never ever stopped to actually pay any attention to their looks or reacted.

Definitely do not feel we pay half the attention to other guys that girls do to other girls. We're too busy looking at the other girls you're paying attention to.

[Skye199]

Maybe girls are just generally more sexualized, I don't know.

[ElvenMr]

Maybe, sometimes, everyone has different "tastes", so it's a hard thing to say, that someone is attractive to everyone.
But then again i don't say that he is attractive, i just think that girls would find that guy attractive, i would just say that i think he is good looking.

[CourtJester]

Same here. I notice extremely attractive male.

... especially when I'm looking at the mirror.

[Skye199]

haha

[IndianGirl01]

Even I do that. I guess its more common wid girls bcoz girls r very bful naturally.

[RationalMale]

Sure. You don't have to be attracted to someone to notice if they have good looks.

It's same as how I can recognize that cars or houses or buildings are high quality, yet it's not the style I like.

[Dubhlann]

I think we notice sometimes, but not as often as women noticing other women.

I could be wrong though. (I usually am.)

[CommonChameleon]

I think some men are afraid to think of other men as attractive.

[MatthewSnicket]

yeah I know a handsome guy when I see him, its just that i dont follow him with my eyes like a girl (unless he's a guy who looks like a girl)

[Ferrett321]

I can tell, but I'm not attracted to it.

[ElijahWolf]

If he lookes really good then ye

[fulloflife]

They do surprisingly!

[CBryan]

And we say they're gay.
