Why can't straight men find other men attractive?

It just so stupid, if a female finds another one attractive or even "hot", nobody even notices. But if a MALE---God forbid, even happens to mention he finds another guy "nice-looking", his peers are quick to brand him queer. I'm not anti-homosexual, but really, what's with this?

Girls and guys, feel free to share your thoughts!

It'd be nice to gossip with a straight guy about how hot another guy is..

Not all cultures are like ours, though... I lived in Korea for a bit where if a blond blue-eyed foreign guy walked past, all the Korean girls AND GUYS would "ooh" and "ahh" over him and his purty looks.

It's sort of how women can wear dresses AND pants, but guys can only wear pants... Or women can wear make-up or go bare-faced, but guys don't really have that option either. Yeah we're seeing a bit of a change but it's minuscule at the moment.

I think it has a lot to do with how women and men have been perceived through the ages. Think about it - the female body has been sexualized for so long, that it's considered "normal" for EVERYONE to be attracted to females. Rarely have there been hot male bods advertising drinks, sports wear, etc.

Anyway this is probably a deeper topic than my brain can handle!

Well, I'd agree with you to a great extent, you're probably right, that is. :P

Also, I don't think that straight guys do not notice other guys at all..because its not quite rarely do you hear one guy saying to his buddy about how "Females would be all ova ya". :P

I'm from India where a large chunk of the population (sadly) is uncomfortable with the idea of homosexuality, and yet guys traditionally don't have a problem talking un-self-consciously about how good another male looks. Contradictions, yeah? :P
