Gay men can see women beauty.
Straight men can see men beauty.

Etc.

Why wouldn't that be able to do it. Like guys know good looking does when we see, even if are not attracted to them.

to some extent, but even to those who are attracted to women, you can have multiple people who don't agree on a specific standard of beauty.

edit: I should instead say yes, but that it might not align with others.

I think anyone can understand major objective differences in appearance, but my limitations of sorting guys would probably be ugly, average, and good looking. Couldnt really explain the differences between major attractive celebrities and just the average attractive guy.

You scared of finding something out about yourself? :3. How do you avoid understanding beauty standards for men for 30+ years?

Well, some women like grungy unshowered wook men with beards. Some like yeehaw men with stubble and a cowboy hat. Some like nerds. How am I supposed to know if a guy is good-looking to women or not?

This is a different question.

You can determine if a guy is good looking to you.

Can men who aren't attracted to women tell if a woman is beautiful?

Yes.

And women who aren't attracted to men can still tell why a bunch of other women of different sexual orientations fantasize about Dwayne Johnson and many jacked up male professional athletes. You don't necessarily have to be sexually attracted to someone to gauge the obvious effect of their aesthetics and other attractive traits.

The idea that straight men are supposed to be incapable of that has always been a myth. Plenty of men size up male competition before making social approaches towards prospective partners. That includes taking note of any potential advantages the competition has, including looks. Like doing that is not a new thing; it's rudimentarily ancient. And both men AND women have demonstrated it for eons. It's sensible to do.

Size up the competition (estimate your odds). Compensate where you can to compete.
Throw in the towel when dealing with the opposition outweighs the potential victory, especially when the person you're trying to impress is just not interested.

For this to work, you have to be able to (at least to a minor degree) sense/acknowledge what makes the competition relevant in the race. Most straight people are capable of determining this; it's not a rare sense to have.

Its basically super insecure guys who pretend they are incapable of knowing if a guy is good looking.

Yeah, sometimes I'm like "damn she's so flippin pretty" but I still don't wanna do anything with her. Usually when I see a guy and think "damn he's pretty" then I do want to do things to him.

Yes and no.

Yes, men who aren't attracted to women can notice the types of things that are associated with beauty or make determinations best on their own subjective factors.

No. Since beauty is subjective, the only thing that "matters" is that someone finds you attractive who is actually attracted to you, which e.g. a gay man can't provide a woman.

I would say in completely anecdotal evidence, gay men who have been my friends at various points in my life have been reasonably okay and determining beauty of celebrities, etc. but have kind of been off the mark a lot on beauty of people in our social circles.

TC, can you tell if a flower is pretty without wanting to fuck it?

Thats essentially what youre asking. Sexual attraction =/= physical appeal.

Flowers arent ugly/repulsive.

Yes. Although theyre going to be straight-up objective.

Which in reality doesnt always translate.
