Why do some men feel uncomfortable with calling other men handsome? (Page 3)

[Paul09]

I'm not. I know what i see. I'm not blind, I can tell if a dude is good looking too. I have complimented other men. I also like when I receive compliments too, but mostly from women it's a bigger compliment. The men that can't, are very insecure.

[Ekke118]

We don't have an internal compass of telling what looks good beyond what we learn somewhere else.

[FR_Ruby]

Many people are homophobic & it's all too much of a bother & it's just a superficial comment anyway.

[Browneye57]

Cuz they're probably just not. Guys don't try to judge like girls do. I guarantee it.

[Trevorrow]

Cause it feels gay to them. Men are not as social as women.

[Trevorrow]

I agree with you on that. But tell me, does it look disgusting seeing a man act and behave in the same way as a woman would to another woman?

Why, would you call another man handsome... unless u swing for the opposite team"hey batter, batter,"it ok it 2021,

[livingnightmare]

i dont think its gay but other people might get the wrong idea

[FlyMulatto]

I don’t think it’s gay as long as it’s one of your homeboys and your boosting them up, I’m not about to call a random guy handsome though that’s weird.

[anylolone]

Women, mostly.

But I'm not scared of stating a guy is hot/handsome/what ever.
And I trust my judgment call on it, and usually I'm right, but not to the same degree as when I evaluate chicks.

[litty]

Only if it's a joke. If it's done seriously, it can be taken as getting hit on.

[Anonymous]

If we're straight we never really feel the nee to mention it about another man.

[faithtofallbackon]

It's not gay. I know a couple guys who are straight that call each other handsome to boost each other's confidence.

[Darksign]

No idea? I'll call a dude good looking to his face. doesn't mean I like dick. Maybe they're insecure about theyre sexuality?

[Shiningtempest]

Some men feel uncomfortable with calling other men handsome due to their insecurity.

[brandon545]

No, its because we're not gay. I dont need a man to tell me I'm handsome, like dont come with that shit

[Paul09]

@brandon545 wtf? First what's wrong with being gay? Second why you so insecure? Who hurt you? Or you just love to hate? Or maybe your religion told you how to think?

[brandon545]

@Paul09 i dont have a problem with gays but me personally, I'm not gay so I dont want any man calling me handsome or anything

[Paul09]

@brandon545 because? Can't you just give a real explanation? Because it really isn't. It's how you "think" if is. So if your dad called you handsome, is that gay?

[brandon545]

@Paul09 we're men, we dont talk like that to each other just deal with it

[Paul09]

@brandon545 aahhh so your dad brainwashed you into thinking lie that. Yoh are far gone , good luck with that. Let my guess to be dont hug your dad and say I love you either, because he will call you gay hahaha

[Anonymous]

Guys, dont start calling other guys handsome. This is another case where girls will use that against you later and call you gay.

[Opinion Owner]

I've done it and that is exactly what girls did to me

[noohair]

The "Gay" label is a huge threat to the average male ego.

[Wise4myage]

They are afraid some people will think they are gay.

[certifiedalphafemale]

It’s not in their nature to compliment other guys. They we’re wired to only focus on females when it comes to beauty.

[Therisinghero12]

I agree, I try to give my friends and guys compliments regularly, though it may help that I'm bi-curious xD

[MJtheCoach]

Because it’s called social construct men in the west across any proving to each other that they’re not gay!
