Thread: Can males judge other males' attractiveness?

People could probably make the argument that woman can't tell how attractive other woman are. Most heterosexual woman probably think they know what men want but so many times it is shown that they really have no idea. Often times they are just guessing based on how media portrays woman, and often they are wrong. Like all the young girls who starve them self because they think men like really skinny woman, when most men really don't like super skinny woman at all.

Women's bodies are attractive, and not just in a pretty-scenery type of way. There is a sexual component, something enticing about looking at a woman with a nice body in a bikini. And as far as I know, I'm straight. It's definitely not the same as a male's attraction to a female, it's a lot more toned down, but at least some women definitely have a sense of how hot a woman looks, not just from guessing, but because they feel some hint of arousal themselves. I've heard some (straight) women completely agree, while others don't. But you might be partly right. It might be subjective, and for whatever reason, women tend to find different women attractive than men. Or maybe there is an extra component in attraction to a woman that men have and women don't. Also, if you're going to claim women can't tell, you need to take into account that other men's opinions differ from your own too, and conclude that the women's opinions differ more from men's in general than men's do from each other.

But I tend to believe in the spectrum between heterosexual and homosexual, not just the three categories of straight, bi, gay, and it's possible I'm attracted to women slightly more than most women are, but I have heard this from other women too.
