If a “straight” man can’t admit when another man is good looking he’s probably not really straight to begin with?

Straight male here and the beach communities of Southern California gets my vote. New York City (Manhattan) and San Francisco are two others.

As a bisexual male, I would never say any of the commonly though of places like NYC, Miami, or Atlanta. Way too fake and trendy. The absolute truth: Rhinebeck or Red Hook, NY. Generally trim, proportioned, rustic, classic preppy, old sweaters, traditional, nothing overdone or flashy, and all in good taste.

I’m not saying they don’t exist, I’m just saying I’ve never been anywhere and caught myself thinking “wow the guys here are all really attractive”.

I’ve been married for almost 20 years, it’s not something I actively pay attention too. That’s not to say I don’t ever notice attractive men, it’s just not noteworthy enough for me to recall any one in particular.

Lol why?
Hmmm I’ve never really thought why. It’s just too fussy and fake IMO. It means they’re either trying to impress someone or they lack in confidence- or both. Or it’s a genuine interest of theirs, which implies a total incompatibility of our lifestyles. I have very little interest in fashion beyond is it clean, does it match, does it fit, and are all my bits and pieces appropriately covered. Personally I find the fashion hoopla to be a waste of time, energy, and money. I’ll pay more for quality, but not for a name that impresses.

So I guess when a man is overly concerned about appearance it diminishes the appeal because it indicates a lifestyle and priorities I don’t respect. I have to respect someone to find them attractive.

I tend to like hipster-type or intellectual guys; the overtly status-seeking fashionable type does nothing for me. Maybe I'm just looking harder now, but I've had a much easier time meeting cute (to me) guys here in Seattle vs. other places.

(I'm also attracted to brawny, working-class, middle-aged men like firefighters and mechanics, but I have not been involved with any so far. And they live all over, anyway.)

I don’t find city men to be attractive so most of the locales listed are out for me. If a man cares about his appearance beyond clean clothes and basic hygiene- it’s a turn off. And if he knows the names of any designer labels that aren't found on cars- hard no.

I can’t recall any city or any location really that I’ve visited and thought wow these guys are hot.
Hmm... This is interesting...

What's the difference between a clothing line and a car make?

It's not about trying to impress someone, nor is is about lacking confidence. Some people just like to see themselves in the mirror and think they look good.
Nothing wrong with having a nice pair of Armani shades or that one Gucci suit in your closet for those special outings...
I think a decent sense of fashion is important, beyond just having clean clothes. Hence why I think a place like NYC comes out on top.

In my experience,

Los Angeles
Nashville
Chicago
Minneapolis
Denver
Seattle
Atlanta
Dallas
Austin
New York
Boston
DC


I always think super fit and attractive people--men or women--tend to be in areas that have plenty of social amenity type of things, that will allow them to socialize, meet or just be viewed by the same or opposite sex.

Meaning more bars, nightlife, restaurants, gyms, and outdoor activities. Entertainment-focused cities like NYC, LA, Atlanta, Nashville, etc, attract good looking people looking for jobs in these industries too.

Also, "hip" and "in," booming type cities attract hot people, in general. LOL
