It sounds like you don't think of yourself as attractive. You have low-self esteem I guess.

Again, it's not an adjective I see applied to men very often, and I'm curious as to what differentiates an objectively beautiful man from a handsome man.

Well....if I were going to call a man beautiful for his looks it would probably be Enrique Iglesias. He's definitely a beautiful man. As well as handsome.
I'm probably better looking than the OP and my girlfriend tells me I'm beautiful a hundred times a day. I like it, but it's also a cue to tell her how beautiful she is.

No, I do. I'm just used to looking at myself everyday, so I don't see what makes me so great. But I don't understand why people are obsessed with my looks.
And furthermore, I think Austin has a fairly large number of attractive men.

You'd get more feedback with your pic in your profile.
I say gorgeous not beautiful but it can be implied as the same and when I describe a man as gorgeous, I see him as flawless. He has great hair, teeth, skin, eyes, build, its like he has the best of every feature. You shouldn't be offended at all it just means you are really good looking and its a ego boost to a women to be in your presence just the same as how a man feels when he's getting attention from a extremly attractive woman. It has that "feels to good to be true" feeling to it.
I'm 25, 6 ft, 160lbs, lean, but toned/athletic, and apparently "beautiful". I get complimented on my appearance fairly often, but instead of describing me as handsome or attractive, people describe me as "beautiful" or "pretty". This honestly freaks me out because I immediately think of femininity when people use these descriptors.
However, almost everyone presumes me to be straight, so that's really not an issue. Have you ever seen a man you'd characterize as "beautiful"? Would you think he's gay? Does using the adjective "beautiful" to describe a man mean he's more than just handsome?
What are your thoughts?
yes i'm seeing beautiful men frequently, i know that they're not gays but i don't find them atractive. beauty should be together with being handsome in order to atract me. but there are also too many girls that like beautiful man.
examples:
beautiful+not handsome. not atractive+not gay
beautiful+handsome. atractive+not gay
i think having beard and mustache can be a way to not to be categorized as "beautiful+not handsome". lol my english sucks againnnnnnnnn
'Beautiful' surpasses gender. I've seen many men who are beautiful. I've seen more beautiful men then I've seen beautiful women.
To me, men are more aesthetically pleasing, but somehow I still think more sexually of women. I don't know why.
I guess I just don't have the double standards that certain words can only apply to one gender.
I knew this guy who said that men couldn't be hot, sexy, or beautiful, that could only apply to grown women. And women under 18 couldn't be beautiful, they could only be cute. And men can only be handsome or good-looking.
It all basically means a good thing. It doesn't have to be this confusing.
