A'ight, hell, I'll throw in my two cents.
With guys, I know we do it for a lot of different reasons.
I have a good buddy of mine that asks that about every chick he dates.. and of course, we tell him the truth. But we know that he's not asking if she's cute, he's really asking our opinion of her, if there are any red flags we see that he doesn't. He's the type that would feel a little strange asking another dude, "Hey man, this Sonja chick, I dunno.. Do you think that she's the type that would be faithful to me? I mean, well, I've seen the way that she...." Nah, he just says, "Hey man, check out Sonja.. She's hot as .... don't ya think?" I don't think that's really all that different from asking advice in here, when it's all said and done.
Another reason, and I've done this one myself, is just to "show off" in front of your buddies. You know she's hot, they know she's hot, you just want to rub it in their faces sometimes.. just for kicks and giggles. Sure, it's childish, but it's better than some other stupid 'macho' things that guys try to pull off...

I don't totally agree with that.. If someone's asking that seriously, then yeah, they might need to get a little help.. but for the most part, every time someone's asked me that it's been more playful rather than serious.
And yes, some people do get dumber as they get older.. just look at our former president. (wait, I didn't say that out loud... nevermind.)
