You must not be a very creative thinker. And if you find men disgusting, you're also pretty darned closed-minded, and you must not know any guys worth knowing. I pity you for that.
Once, out of a similar, yet benign curiosity, I asked my girlfriend (ex) what she thought about women physically compared to men. She said that she thought women were kind of dumpy, bottom-heavy, frail-looking, aged terribly, and have boring, plain faces! It was eye-opening to hear this, but I tried, and I could see where she was coming from, and she could see where I was coming from. Straight men and gay women appreciate the softness of woman's body and the openness of a pretty woman's face, whereas gay men and straight women appreciate the angularity of a man's body and the chiselled symmetry of a handsome man's face. Women are only called the "fairer" sex because men still rule our society. The straight male viewpoint is considered "right" instead of just one viewpoint out of many. There are just as many beautiful men as women, but it takes an open mind to see it. Something, as I said, you don't possess.
The fact that you applied your disgust of men to the women whose POV you can't understand is even more disturbing. In a way, though, I'm glad you think how you do, so that some women are spared from you. Someone who believes that the mentality of someone's idea of attractiveness has any bearing on his or her character is a shallow person. If a woman is intelligent, empathetic, and good-natured, what does if matter if you disagree with her about the aesthetic appeal of the genders? If you had a baby, and it was born male, would you vomit at the sight of it? That's how ridiculous you sound. Are you nauseated walking down the street when a male model passes by, and relieved when a 600lb woman with terrible acne obstructs your view of him? Do you think you're disgusting looking as well? This is what your ridiculous generalizing is suggesting. There are women in this world born with men's faces and no hips. There are men who have female faces, and if they put on make up, you wouldn't be able to tell they're men. Where do they fit into your generalization?
You just seem to me like one of those pathetic guys who puts every single woman in existence on a pedestal, no matter who they are or what they've done, because you believe the only redeeming quality in a woman is her physical beauty. You'd be right about being "vastly different" as you're VASTLY different from a rational person.
The fact this post is considered normal only goes to show that men don't think other men can be offended by stuff like this. It's another tired cultural bias. Let me put this in simpler terms. You're a straight man; you're not SUPPOSED to be sexually attracted to other men, of COURSE it doesn't make sense to you! Just because you're a man, and you don't understand something, doesn't mean that 'thing' is wrong or weird! You're only you, you're not every man, and you're not all-knowing. So, please, do the world a favour, and stop being a man-hating, presumptuous arsehole. Try to see the non-sexual beauty that some men possess, and even the non-physical beauty in some of the women you might not otherwise find attractive. Part of the fun of living in a world with variant genders and sexual orientations is that we're all different! Different isn't bad. Judge people for their goodness and their minds, and use physical looks for exactly what they're here for; sex and purely aesthetic appreciation.
You probably posted this with 'innocent' intentions, and my reaction probably seems extremely harsh, but I'm trying to knock some sense into you because what you said has the potential to offend a lot of people. I'm a guy, and I think I'm an attractive person. I might happen to think you are, and I might not think, say, your girlfriend is, even though you're the one I'd never want to sleep with because of my straight orientation, but this has no meaning beyond aesthetic preference. Maybe you, in all honesty have never seen a man you've found good-looking, and you've never seen a woman you've found ugly. That's fine, but don't take that to mean the universal truth is that men are ugly and that straight women and gay men are all crazy and deluded for preferring them over women. It's nature, it's chemical, and you're mixing in logic where it doesn't belong, with your opinions. If you read this entire thing, thanks for at least considering my point of view. I hope you change your mind about men and the women who appreciate them.
Is it normal to not understand why woman are attracted to men?
