Just wondering, I have never done it but is it considered, like, homosexual?
 
I’ve done it many times and I’m not homosexual nor do I consider telling someone is handsome a remotely homosexual attribute. Just a quick question, why do you think it’s inappropriate from a Catholic theology perspective?
 
I don’t know. Sorry, I just get severe anxiety at times, about things like this. I was just going through pictures of Pope Benedict XVI when he was really young after ordination.
 
Ok, thanks guys. Sorry for practically wasting your time on this thread then 😦
 
Hopefully not a sin because I do it alot! My friends and I bodybuild [not to compete, just for ourselves] and often I tell them that they’re looking good and I’m jealous of their quad/tricep/whatever development.

Wouldn’t say it’s gay unless you mean it in a homosexual way I guess.

Dude, your glutes are totally looking awesome. And I mean that in a totally straight, heterosexual way.

now I’m not a body builder but that seems a little strange to me…

If you don’t bodybuild, I wouldn’t expect you to understand. We spend hours in the gym training, nail our diet and follow it meticulously, spend hours researching nutrition/exercise and discipline ourselves. When I finally see the long head of my tricep coming out after months of trying, it’s an accomplishment. If a friend has been cutting and I can see feathering on his glutes, that’s an accomplishment and I am admiring.

If you think that’s strange for a heterosexual, tell that to my ex-gf’s 😛

I think perhaps you need to find a more practical outlet for your muscles. Go help clean up after the tornados, do house repairs or yard work for an elderly neighbor, stock shelves at the food pantry, build a playground. You get the idea. 👍

Should we say the same thing to people that keep discussing on CAF about Minerals makeup kits (or whatever is the name) ?
 
Women tell other women they look beautiful, cute, adorable, lovely, stunning, ect. all the time. It is just complementing someone and has no sexual conotation.

Yes, we should! 😛 They can knit bandages for leporasy patients, cook meals for shut-ins, offer to babysit so young couples can have a night out together. (Or do yard work for elderly neighbors, etc…)

Men rarely comment (to another’s face anyway) on each other’s personal beauty, unless it is obvious the man went out of his way to dress sharply, or has perhaps noticeably lost weight. We are mainly applauding the effort here: to try dress nicely, or to try and lose weight. These comments are no so much about physical beauty.

This is not to say that in an objective, third-party way, we wouldn’t notice that someone was handsome in their youth while looking at a picture, but, unless we are A.E. Housman, we’re not likely to verbalize it.

How do you know I don’t do all that and more already? So quick to have the upper hand of Holiness :o It’s my hobby, it keeps me fit and healthy and I’m happier for it 🙂

Don’t get me wrong I would never make fun of body builders (except maybe a little bit over the telephone :)), but the the body builders at the gym I go to do seem a little “different”. For some strange reason they are all hairless and a light orange color. They’ve never mentioned anything about any freakish accidents they’ve all been involved in together so I can only assume they are this way on purpose. My friend who is a body builder recently had all of the caps on his molars replaced because they were the wrong color. Who on earth can even see your molars?

No. Complementing other men on their looks doesn’t seem like something men should make a habit of doing. I can understand a little bit if you’re a body builder, but it isn’t something I can see most men doing. I’m giggling like a little girl at the very idea of it.
