If I think another man is handsome, is it "all right" for me to tell him so, or might he consider that queer or gay on my part?
I have a thing about handsome me. I like them!! That's how the phrase "eye candy" came about (eye candy = handsome face, great body, nice to look at, etc.).
Where I work, there are many handsome men--all kinds, too: str8, gay, bi, and of different nationalities. If I see one, I love to look at him (without staring, of course). I also feel the urge to let him know that he's goodlooking and is fortunate to be so handsome.
If he's even a slight acquaintance of mine, I feel the urge to tell him that I consider him to be very goodlooking. I hope he would take it as a compliment; I know I would. Even though I am very gay, I'm still in the closet and trying to "pass" as str8, esp. at work. So I make sure to tell the guy in a very masculine, "str8" way that he's gooodlooking. And I don't dwell on it--I say it in a brief, matter-of-fact way.
So, how do you think most men (of any sexual orientiation) would take that? Should I continue complimenting handsome men in this way?
How do YOU react if another man tells you that you're very goodlooking?
I appreciate your advice. Thanks! :smile:
