A man admiring, caring about, appreciating, loving, etc. another man is not homosexual or homoerotic.

homoerotic in the sense of the marilyn frye quote where she states that men look to other men when it comes to respect power and recognition and proufound relationships while seeking care from women

That Marilyn Frye quote is very context dependent, and I would argue, intentionally provocative in order to make her broader point.
I think the more broadly accepted definition of homoeroticism is sexual attraction to members of the same sex.

Yeah,very fair point,my bad for not including context initially

you might consider the term “homosocial” which is a long-used literary trope.
