What's the difference between a beautiful man and a handsome or hot one?

I mean men in general, not just Andrej Pejic.

That's a good question. I don't recall ever describing a man as anything but sexy or attractive. :lol:

Yeah, but I'm gay, so I think I'm disqualified.

But I'd say that beautiful and handsome are about the same thing. Although maybe beautiful is a bit stronger an adjective.

Of course, every straight guy knows that complimenting another man on his appearance automatically makes you gay. I mean, do you think I was born gay? Please. That's just what the liberal media wants you to believe. Nope, I was just walking down the street one day with my totally female girlfriend, and she wanted to go see Good Will Hunting. I called Matt Damon attractive while we were watching it and BAM! Instant gay, right then and there. That's how they get you.

sexy is only sometimes beautiful, and beautiful is only sometimes sexy. sexy is very subjective, as is beauty. some beautiful men [at least in their prime or when they were alive]-

patrick swayze
keanu reeves
jaye davidson
christopher morley [transvestite actor]
brad pitt
johnny depp
sal mineo

johnny crawford
john cameron mitchell
james dean
david cassidy

Cheers, yes it's very subjective... I'm not a fan of Keanu, Brad or Orlando (they're not "beautiful" to me).

Some of the others on your list I'll have to look up

I think Cary Grant and Montgomery Clift are beautiful men (I mean when they were alive, obviously!)

Beautiful to me is a strong word that encompasses more than looks; it also refers to the person's nature, or soul. I think I would only use it to describe someone I knew. A character in a film can be "beautiful" to me though.

try watching one of those sword n' sandal epics such as the thief of bagdad, and see if sabu doesn't pop out at you as one gorgeous man. also i just remembered john phillip law and harve presnell and clint eastwood in his rowdy yates days.

monty was definitely beautiful but tormented inside.

lots of beauty is only skin-deep. some folk are quite ugly inside even though they are greek-statue lovely externally.
