Do you find pretty boys attractive?

Or “rough” looking men?

I like pretty, but the narcissism gets old.

by Anonymousreply 1August 21, 2018 2:42 AM

I like masculinity. A little rough round the edges. Too primped and prettified is a huge turn off for me. Absolutely no plucked or waxed brows, nothing that looks too try-hard.

Pretty like Sean Maher, Matt Bomer, Ian Somerhalder, Chace Crawford, Drew Fuller, and the inimitable Rob Lowe - yes.

Overplucked, tweezed and feminine looking guys - no.

R2 So self care is feminine?

by Anonymousreply 4August 21, 2018 2:49 AM

On the spectrum where 10 is extremely pretty and 1 is extremely rough looking, my preference would be a 7-8.

by Anonymousreply 5August 21, 2018 2:50 AM

I agree with R2

There would have to be something to offset the prettiness like a masculine body or deep voice.

by Anonymousreply 7August 21, 2018 2:53 AM

What R2 said - and as long as pretty doesn't equal fem, then I'm cool with that.

Timothy Chalamet and Douglas Booth are too pretty. Nick Robinson, Connor Jessup, and Dylan Geick strike the right balance.

by Anonymousreply 9August 21, 2018 2:56 AM

I prefer rough and ready. You can take care of yourself without indulging in a spa regimen each AM and PM, or dropping by Sephora on every trip to the mall.

[quote][R2] So self care is feminine?

You don't have strong reading comprehension skills, do you r4?

I also find a bit deranged that you equate OVERplucking and tweezing with personal hygiene. Personally, I'd much prefer someone who, you know, actually bathed than who spent his time plucking and tweezing.

But, if you think those are sufficient for achieving personal cleanliness, hey, good for you.

My ex is pretty, but he's also a very strong, smart man. With celebrities, I may enjoy that someone is pretty, but it makes a big difference if someone seems sweet versus seeming douche-baggy. I think Gary Clayton is pretty, but he seems sweet and talented.

Agreed R9. I would weep with joy every time I kissed Dougie’s pillowy lips. Highly impractical.

one of biggest game-changers for me has got to be tweezed eyebrows, and that has got to be in the pretty boy category. I am attracted to men, Just look mostly like a man and there is a strong chance that I might find you attractive, even though the feeling might not be mutual. And I understand that. The whole "pretty" thing about being attracted to such males. I know it happens, maybe it has some significance, as in you have some bisexual tendencies that you were not fully aware of.

by Anonymousreply 16August 21, 2018 3:14 AM

Pretty boys are almost always bossy bottoms who can't take a good pounding. Give me a stoic but friendly, masculine cowboy who isn't stuck on himself and whose ass you can pound the hell out of without him whining.

I like handsome men. Butch turns me off.

I just like good looking men plain and simple. I love to blow the backs out of cute, white guys and have linebackers top me when I need my back blown out.

sometimes here on datalounge the truth just seems to be begging to be told. my truth is not about fucking or getting fucked. but it is definitely about worshiping cock that might like to be worshiped.

by Anonymousreply 20August 21, 2018 4:52 AM

The prettier the better. I like ass but don’t like fucking and don’t care for dick. However, I’ve never had the slightest attraction to females. I’m a perversion of nature.

by Anonymousreply 21August 21, 2018 6:18 AM

Don't sell yourself so short r21, I don't dislike dick, but I'm not that interested in it either. I like a man's ass, but unlike you I do like to spank and fuck a guy's butt. I never got into being a bottom very much. I also have never had one iota of sexual interest in females. I had a bi male friend who sometimes said my narrow range of interest sexually and the fact I didn't care to give or get blow jobs made me a queer queer.

Pretty does not equal plucked eyebrows and foundation. Pretty boys can be either very feminine or very rugged and masculine or a mixture of both. It’s all about the natural delicacy or comeliness of the features. And yes I’m a sucker for pretty boys without the overplucked look.

by Anonymousreply 31August 21, 2018 9:31 AM

Yes, pretty boys definitely my preference, dont like them too butch, dont give a shit if they're plucked and groomed etc

The hottest thing in the world for me is a guy who is totally slim almost delicate but really masculine. I love that dichotomy.

There is a young, petite cashier at Whole Foods (7th Ave and 24th Street) who is so pretty he goes into androgynous territory. That his name tag said George tipped it towards male. And I'm all for him; he is a beautiful guy.

by Anonymousreply 34August 21, 2018 11:10 AM

I’ve been pretty (20’s) and not pretty (40’s).

Pretty and confident stripper that’s packing, and looks you right in the eye is hot. Pretty Chelsea bartender with eye makeup staring at himself in the mirror all night- is not.

Pretty that ages into handsome is hot. Pretty (or trying to accessorize pretty) after 40 is not.

Pretty with ass up in the air, mouth in pillow is hot. Pretty that talks all night trying to impress is not.

Matt Dillon ca. 1980. He was totally slim and tough at the same time. Girls used to drool over him (and gay boys too).

For me to find a man sexy he must be handsome but have some small physical defects. I especially find the crinkles around a good looking man's eyes infinitely sexy. Pretty boys are okay, but aging pretty boys are far better IMO. Until a man gets some age wear & tear on him I'm not interested. It shows that he's lived and experienced life. Young guys with beautiful features show nothing but inexperience to me, and that's not sexy.

by Anonymousreply 38August 21, 2018 12:01 PM

R35 I know a man who, back in his 20s, was the pretty type - a little strange, but still very pretty. I had not seen him in 20 years. I saw him the other day and he was still trying to work the pretty thing and it was so awkwardly embarrassing. Late 40s, yet still with some makeup, obvious eyeliner, highlighted hair tips (seriously) and skinny jeans. It was just dreadful and it was all I could do to ask - "Is anyone encouraging this look? Has anyone pulled you aside and said, underneath your ludicrous look is probably still a decent looking guy!"

by Anonymousreply 39August 21, 2018 12:04 PM

pretty is a complete turnoff for me.

by Anonymousreply 40August 21, 2018 12:04 PM

R18 I think we all use terms differently, and some of us more accurately. Handsome can be butch. The two adjectives are not mutually exclusive. In all fairness, though it is a rare combo, a naturally pretty man can be masculine or butch too. I prefer handsome and butch, or boyish. The less artifice the better. Manly men exude a natural confidence that is not dependent upon what they wear, what their hair looks like, or what other girlish gays think of them.

by Anonymousreply 41August 21, 2018 12:25 PM

Yes, especially Timothée Chalamet.

I like "ordinary". I worked for a clothing company and was part of the model selection team. All of them meld into a nameless beige mush after a while and then you start picking out and finding flaws in their beauty. I'd rather go out with a guy who has some scruff around the edges, who doesn't primp or preen, who doesn't spend every fucking waking second down the gym (do you go for your health, to look good or to bask in the attention, eh?), who'll eat fucking carbs and doesn't shriek at the sight of chocolate.

by Anonymousreply 43August 21, 2018 1:26 PM

R43 Exactly. Those "girlish" gays I had referenced in R41 can be heard screaching in the thread about shorts; telling men who wear cargo shorts that they make them look "poor", or we ought to all be wearing designer short-shorts, just not to our doctor appointments. Real men who are butch, straight or gay, don't have the time nor the patience for their immaturity, insecurity, or pretensions.

by Anonymousreply 44August 21, 2018 1:36 PM

It was a LOT of work to look pretty, 4 hours at the gym every day, primping and smoothing, shaving etc. it gets tougher as you age. Once people got to know me, they were sort of amazed that I wasn’t a pretentious bitch like other pretty men. The truth is once everybody comes, and the rent is paid up- pretty really doesn’t matter.

I’ll take swarthy, handsome and knows how to make a sandwich.

by Anonymousreply 45August 21, 2018 1:37 PM

I hate the waxed eyebrows look. It is a dealbreaker. However, I like pretty in general as long as it isn't too pretty like a Matt Bomer type. His looks are distracting because he is so damn pretty..

Pretty is fine to look at but I’d rather have sex with not pretty. Having dated both, pretty tends towards narcisstic, demanding and feminine. Less than perfect is my ideal.

The sexiest men on earth in my opinion are good looking masculine men who really have no idea just how damn good looking they are. And believe it or not there are plenty out there like that.

It’s mostly about the eyebrows. When a guy goes overboard on the grooming by just one hair he looks like an off-duty drag queen.

Handsome slides into ‘pretty’ with one pluck.

I’m a top, but a real-hard nosed top. So I like pretty but not prissy. There’s a difference. The boy must have some toughness both on the inside and outside if he wants to roll with me. No crybabies.
