When a guy tells you that you are beautiful...

I was just told that if a guy says, "You are (absolutely) beautiful," it means he wants to have sex with you. The "softer" version of this explanation is that he seems to find you symmetrically pleasing and compatible for sexual activity/exploration. Is this actually true or just rubbish?
Yes, it's completely true.

  • Unless you are really out of shape, have crazy features, smell bad or are really, really, really annoying ... guys mainly just want to have sex with you. As exploration. Don't take it personally. Oh, but if you are beautiful, many will want to put you up on a pedestal to try to keep other guys from having sex with you too.

    • Wait... So (1) they will use me as a practice test dummy either way; (2) but they'll want me to be THEIR practice test dummy exclusively... Did I interpret correctly?

    • Yeah, it's definitely possible!

    • Wow what a bs answer, not all guys are like that.

  • It usually takes a lot of guts for a man to tell a woman she is beautiful, and usually implies a deeper connection. Whereas "You're sexy" more often than not means I want you right here, right now.

    • Hmm. So what kind of connection are we talking about here? A number of guys I barely know will say something like that to me by the end of an evening out. To me, there's no grounds for that feeling of a significant connection until much later, when you've had a chance to hang out and be around each other...

    • Perhap in that circumstance it'd be something like 'i want to go out again and get to know you better, not just get into your pants.' kinda thing.

  • I think if its said it is true, however that doesn't really determine the motive behind saying it. If it was just a kind compliment or if he's bein' a creeper lol.

  • If it is a boyfriend then it is possible he just felt a rush of emotion and said he thinks your beautiful meaning he loves you very much. He would probably want to have sex with you but it would be unrelated to the statement.

    If it is in a club then its probably a line to get in your pants to do the naughty dance.

    • LMAO. Well, it wasn't at a club, but I'm not checking that off my list of possible interpretations. Just a guy I had a short chat with. He wants to go out, but when my friend explained that to me I became a little apprehensive... A lot of guys compliment me that way, and I always think it's odd since I consider myself relatively plain looking.

    • Never! Don't ever consider yourself plain :D in several billion people you are completely unique there is not a single person who is you so it is impossible to be plain :D!

    • Thanks, that's very touching. I meant physically plain, of course. The souls are brilliant and unique for sure, though features can be flawed, you know what I mean?

  • every guy is different. He may want to do more than sleep with you, he may be genuinely interested, but he does find you sexually attrative, because it is virtually impossible to find a woman beautiful, but not sexually appealing as well. but don't hold it against him if he says you are beautiful, it's a nice thing.

    • Thank you. :-) It was just a little confusing because the guy who said it doesn't really know me very well, and one of my friends told me that "beautiful" is bro-code for "I'm jumping you at the earliest possible opportunity" and I didn't think that was possible unless you actually knew the person -- I mean, at least having had one date or a longer sort of conversation.

  • Depends on context. I think most guys say what they actually think, but there are many who say things to get you in their pants. But they obviously think you're attractive enough to try and get into your pants, so either way I suppose they meant it.

  • This needs more voting options.

  • Most guys probably mean it I think. Cause I don't really hear that from guys much, I'd hear other compliments if they just are trying to woo you, but not serious.

    • So calling a girl beautiful is a serious statement? What would be used if just "trying to woo"?

    • It's used if they really have interest in you I think. And if they're just trying to kinda coerce you into thinking they care more just to get you in bed they say other things. I think. Then again, those kinda people might just say anything. But most guys don't seem to use that word casually. at least from my experience.

    • Thanks, Leto. :-)

  • This is one of my pet peeves. It takes a lot of courage for me to tell a lady she's beautiful. It's like Me: "You're absolutely gorgeous"

    Her:"No I'm not"

    Me: "Well, f*** it your ugly then... damn".

    • Many guys don't actually mean it, though. It's not the same as what you're describing, where the guy struggles to get the line out. Some guys just say it because it's something to say.

    • Oh okay I see what you mean. That is pretty screwed up that a guy would say that just as something to say, that's not something that should be taken so lightly lol.

    • I know. I feel bad for the guys who mean it in that sweet, sincere/old fashioned way. It's not very common anymore, esp not among the guys who are closer to my age.

  • When I tell my girlfriend she's beautiful I mean it she's beautiful inside and out

    • That's beautiful. She's a lucky gal.

    • I wish she would call me, I haven't heard from her since 1:59 PM yesterday

    • Did you call her?
