Do you find Brutal Honesty attractive or even sexy in a person?

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

I respect anyone that can be brutally honest. People mistake what brutally honest means. It doesn't mean mean or rude or insults like people think it does. So for those that don't understand, here's the definition of Brutal Honesty:
The point of brutal honesty is to be completely honest and let the truth speak for itself. It's about not holding anything back — about not telling white lies to make a person feel better, or withholding information they might find hurtful...
I'll take that over lies any day!!!

Yes, it is attractive but not irresistible. You can be a blunt jerk for sure.
The best relationships I had were with men who were very honest and blunt. I like to get to know some bad sides early on. Better to know what I am dealing with than getting to know someone superficially. However, I have yet to meet a man that was blunt about wanting a serious relationship with me, so it have been casual relationships instead.

Though, one thing I cannot deal with is what the man is saying in the first video. The 'I am not interested in a relationship right now...'. The 'right now' is a get away for me, it seems like he wants to keep a door open for someone not very strong minded to still go for sleeping with him in hope of it evolving into a relationship. Just leave out that statement, because you have no idea when it will change. The important thing is that you do not want a relationship, what happens in the future you can let me know then.

I'm brutally honest, but only when asked. Some people hate me for it, some love me for it. "Do I look fat in this?" "You look fat because you are fat. What you're wearing doesn't change it" "you're an asshole" "you already knew that, but you asked anyway. That's on you" "But I was really asking if this outfit makes me look less fat" "No, you were asking me to help you feel better about being fat by saying you don't look fat. I may be an asshole, but I'm not stupid" "I don't know why I ever ask you anything" "me either"

Option D. I'm neutral to it. I don't mind brutal honesty; in fact, I appreciate it. However, tact or the lack of it, is the issue. You can be brutally honest without being an asshole. It's not easy for some people, but it's possible. It's HOW you say it, not what you say. But yeah, it's neither attractive nor unattractive.

Calling it 'brutal honesty' implies there will be some pain to it. But it's all in the delivery. You can tell people the truth without it having to be mean. But don't always expect the receiver to be pleased, but they shouldn't feel hostile.
I like brutal honesty. I think it's a better way. I have been trying more of it and it seems more positive, there is no misunderstanding on where you stand.
But boy it's hard not to ever tell a lie. It's instinctual. Someone askes, "How are you?" I say 'good' or 'fine' or whatever to move on. Its automatic. Lying is everywhere all the time.

No, too often people excuse their inconsiderate and bad behaviour as “brutal honesty” when really it’s just being rude.

It doesn’t take a huge amount of effort to be completely honest while being kind. The brutal is often not necessary to convey the truth

[0112358]

F by a long shot. Honesty is good. "Brutal honesty" means being a bad communicator who can't actually get the truth across bedside they deliver it so abrasively.

other people aren't robots. If all they hear emotionally is an attack the "honesty" you spoke is almost irrelevant.

[TheUniqueOne96]

I agree with Wonderer89, she said it best so far.

She gave a great example too, which sums it up perfectly.

Ultimately, there's ways to go about it, without being a dick, something that some people refuse to understand.

It depends. Some guys who has the right confidence, using brutal honesty is interestingly attractive.https://www.youtube.com/embed/LPP-eW7uxIM

the "brutal" part has a negative connotation, it might be attractive at first for some, maybe, just like a fire, but once it explodes on your face and you feel the true heat of it, that's when most people will want to back out.

[Glasgow55]

"Brutal" honesty, to me, is something used as an excuse to be rude and bad mannered. "I'm just telling it like it is." "I'm just being honest." etc. All excuses for bad manners and aggression. A cultured, polite, well-mannered person would think about the other persons feelings.

[Aurora1010]

I think that many times someone saying they're brutually honest is an excuse for being an asshole. Okay, if someone asks for your honest opinion then there is no problem but not to go randomly insulting anyone
I can't find this appealing.

[CubsterShura]

I used to think that being brutally honest is a good thing even if you sound mean, but with time I learned that you can be completely honest without being an asshole.

Since then, I am a bit wary of people who describe themselves as brutally honest. I am not getting turned on by someone being mean and acting like it is ok because they are just telling the bitter truth.

[Andres77]

It's mean and hurtful.
It's not what you say it's how you say it.
I'm not saying lie, I'm not saying sugar coat everything.
You can always be kind and honest about everything.

There’s no purpose in being brutal with the truth if you want others to accept it.. other than being brutal. “No one cares how much you know until they know how much you care.” - I don’t remember who said that.

[Phoenix98]

I don't find it attractive or sexy but it is something I value as I always want my partner to be honest with me even if I don't like what they have to say.

[Anonymous]

Honesty is attractive, someone who can say the hard but more meaningful stuff. However being inconsiderate of others feelings and lacking that tactile social etiquette is the opposite of attractive. Someone who hurts others to get what they want is repulsive. But someone who works hard to achieve what they want despite challenges is very attractive. In other words, doing the right but hard things are attractive, ie integrity.

[Josh4206]

It is attractive definitely, I want to know your real thoughts not manufactured thoughts

[Choices2b1]

I think it really depends on the topic. Every issues needs to be dealt with in a different way. Not every issue can be resolved with the same hammer.
There are times when it can be attractive, and other times when it just comes off as ugly

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Being 100% honest is attractive, but being a prick in the process isn't.

[Dsg1193]

I don’t care what you look like, honesty is refreshing period

[Juxtapose]

Honesty is good but brutal honesty just shows a narcissist lack of consideration for other people.

If you are just as brutally honest to them, they tend not to like their own medicine.

[DizzyDesii]

Nope. I dont need sugarcoating either but i dont like rudeness

[Biancam13]

Yeah I’d rather them be brutally honest than be passive aggressive or not speak up when they feel something. The latter is annoying in any kind of relationship

[TacosRAwesome]

Sometimes but some people use brutal honesty as an excuse to be complete dicks.

[IveGotNoName]

I wouldn't call it attractive, just nice

[zagor]

Pure brutal honesty is another word for Tiret's...

[ILikePlants]

Honesty yes, "brutal" honesty no

[DaughterOfLilith]

No, I don't.

[HuTao]

It's appreciated

[Joker_]

no..
