I've never understood why one can't say that someone is good looking just because they're attracted to another gender. It's more like appreciating a piece of art, isn't it?

”Appreciating a piece of art”. Nicely put, I agree 100%.

Agreed. The easier way to think about it is “would I mind looking like this dude?”

I understand the concept, but am a straight man, and genuinely can't tell if any man is good looking or not..

So you can't tell if a cat or an old lady or a little kid is good looking or not? I think it's the same thing, like "I can appreciate the beauty of this being without wanting to stick my dick in it"

I sort of get what he is saying: if we exclude obvious handsome fellows, then I don’t really see what would be the key indicators for regular dudes.

Really? I'm super straight and can absolutely appreciate that these men are very attractive.

Yeah, well I’m super-DUPER straight and I can’t tell ;)

I don't understand. Can you not tell an ugly baby from a cute baby? Same thing.

Did you notice the wink? Means it’s a joke. I just thought it was funny how you said “super” straight.

Anyway, I can totally tell if a dude is good looking, same with babies.

Yeah, you can. You're just not willing to ACCEPT that you can.

I agree, as a straight dude, I can’t tell if these men are good-looking. I’d need to get up closer, really study them, maybe on a weekend beach getaway, playing volleyball and laughing.

I was the same, basically it boils down generally to... physically fit, not noticablly asymmetrical, generally not un friendly face.

Boom, straight man's guide to judging other men.

Edit: forgot the obvious, looks healthy and wealthy.
