Straight man here: Fuck, those are some good lookin dudes.

NAAnymore OP t1_isngqfk wrote

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?

ligamedlem t1_isnpani wrote

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

regcrusher t1_isntnoz wrote

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

buwefy t1_isnq7na wrote

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

NAAnymore OP t1_isnr2un wrote

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.

Hooray4Metaphors t1_iso7ggd wrote

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

arjames13 t1_isod0df wrote

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

Hooray4Metaphors t1_isof8fe wrote

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.

lkeels t1_iso0zn9 wrote

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.

Map questing? You might already be in the age group for those old sailors

Kreat0r2 t1_isnfqf1 wrote

Dear fashion: please don’t, because most people wearing them will not look like this, but rather will have too much ‘skin’ showing.

If you find a guy willing and able to squeeze into them, they're called Underwater Demolition Team (UDT) shorts and they're still made.

Dude, this. Short shorts, even rugby style, were great. Felt great to wear and looked awesome especially if you had strong legs.

Same with the old timey farmer photos posted a week ago, give or take. The give away is the shaved chests.

Straight man here. I would definitely have sex with both of these dudes.

Ok, so maybe the straight part was a bit of a simplification.

Ok, six percent of Caucasian men have no chest hair though, so the odds that they would be two hunks in a random photo are not very high.

Water-Donkey t1_ism5dm9 wrote

For some reason, I kind of suspect this photo was made to look old rather than that it actually is from the 40s. I’m probably wrong, just something about it seems off for some reason, even the black and white version.

Still hot, I’m here for it whether old or new, just saying.
