Women's reactions to EXTREMELY handsome men

[Jonn]

My wife and I were watching an old movie. I think it was Hitchcock's To Catch A Thief with Cary Grant and Grace Kelly. At some point in the movie my wife declared: "Damn, was he a handsome man!".

Handsome but gay.

He's a singer, known as M Shadows. Vocalist of the band Avenged Sevenfold.

Handsome but gay.

More likely that he was bisexual.

More likely that he was bisexual.

That is also what the consensus seems to be about Tyrone Power, one of the men whose pictures I posted in the OP.

I believe most all the other men I posted are/were straight, from what I know: Kevin Love (NBA player with clinical depression), Matthew McConaughey, JFK Jr., Shawn Wayans. I also posted pictures of a random Arab model and random Asian model whose names I don't know; not sure of their histories.

Not sure if there's any sort of pattern to the kinds of men I find attractive other than angular and overall proportionate features.

Could I ask are you a woman?

I'm confused I thought this post was asking women's!reaction to extremely handsome men are you a woman?

I don't understand why males are answering this I thought women meant female reactions

Dude, everybody can answer this thread.

I mean, I am attracted to men, as well (see autistic pansexual right under my name), so I can relate to this.

Just asking to understand asexuality better.

Fair enough. Asexuality is simply not experiencing sexual attraction / an innate lack of desire for partnered sex. Anything beyond that, such as experiences of aesthetic attraction, sensual attraction etc., varies a lot from person to person.
Personally my appreciation of a handsome man/woman is pretty much the same as how I'd appreciate a beautiful work of art or an interesting tree.

I agree there is definitely a difference between mere aesthetic admiration and outright physical attraction.

I'm heterosexual myself, so I can notice a nice looking woman, but her beauty does nothing to me biologically or chemically. Handsome men, on the other hand, cause a surge of adrenaline, pleasure, excitement, even physical reactions. I get tingly, smile, want to touch and hug. Every time I see husband, this kind of thing happens. This is why I knew I had to get married. I couldn't go through life having to shut that off every single time It was getting to be too much.
