Why do some men feel uncomfortable or awkard calling another man "handsome"?

Because if you pay attention to us, we acknowledge a man is handsome through our actions and it depends on that individual man's confidence level.

Men with high-self confidence acknowledge this when factoring this among other (more important variables) a guy as one of our peers. He's still competition, but we respect him. His trajectory in life may or may not come anywhere near that guy but he's doing things and he sets his foot down. The more driven, thoughtful and focus a man is the quicker he's likely to do this, if only to assess the situation around him

Guys with low-self confidence will throw off emotional responses to him directly or indirectly. Actions always speak, but the more worthy the competition to them, the more of an issue it'll become for these guys, especially if they don't think they can "outdo" this guy.

I don't have experience with gay men to give my perspective on how they go about it, so out of respect, I won't comment on how they go about it.

But it's very rare to hear a guy say this, I've NEVER heard it. If we acknowledge it, it'll be through our actions, not verbally.

I hope I helped, good luck and be safe.

For the same reason an adult would feel uncomfortable calling a 10 year old girl "hot".
Men are not "handsome" to straight men, just like little children wouldn't seem "hot" to anyone who is right in the head.

Sure, you can use the word ironically, or somehow misuse it to convey something that's not a actually a testament of your own sexuality, but you are risking it being interpreted literally.

Sure, if a friend calls me handsome, I will know he is messing with me, but if a male stranger calls me handsome, I will reply "sorry, I'm straight".

If you act gay, I'm going to think you are gay.
It's not brave of you, it's just stupid and confusing.

  I wonder why this doesn't apply to women? It's pretty common for a woman to call another woman beautiful.

  @JenzLab Probably because it's well established and understood among women that when women say such things to each other, they are not in fact referring to their actual physical attraction towards each other, but that they are really just approving of things like the way they have done their makeup, their hair, their nails, the way they are dressed or the way they carry themselves.
  
  Men don't do any of that, the average man doesn't know anything about fashion, or about haircuts so we don't recognize or appreciate these things about ourselves or each other so when a man does it, it simply comes across as weird.
  
  Women calling each other beautiful is much more akin to men complimenting their gym gains.
  Men groping each other's bicepses doesn't come across as gay, because that IS something men can understand and appreciate about each other.
  It's automatically understood that they are admiring and envying their effort and dedication, not that they are simply calling them physically attractive, or something.

  Totally makes sense, thank you for clearing that up 🙂

Because they're worried that would make them appear gay.. And then too you'd have people saying"real men" don't call other men handsome 🙄
My hubby wasn't like that. He was the one that pointed out to me and my daughter the good looking life guard while we were walking at the lake years ago, but he was way too young for me lol and too old for my daughter... And my hubby was the realest man I ever knew.. Cuz he was himself without worrying about what anyone else said.. Same as me...

Wth, that's like asking why some girls feel uncomfortable saying other girls are beautiful. I would never talk that way about another girl. If I have no attraction to them I don't want someone saying crap about "why don't u call her beautiful " like mind your own business 😂 so if it's the other way around leave those guys alone too

1. How do i know if a man is handsome? Unless a guy is freakishly ugly im not a good judge of whats attractive in general.

2. Men typically judge men on the content of their character and their accomplishments. Looks are irrelevant. If a fat slob is supper successful id want to hang with him. If a super "handsome" man is a bum i dont want to bother to know him.

because we don´t care how other guys look. Also we don´t want to be seen as gay if we aren´t. Another reason is we are in rivalry with guys, so it´s harder for us to give compliments to other guys. As a man we want to be defined by what we´ve done, not how we look.

Honestly, I dont know, my guess would be they might be scared because of values they were raised with, or they have feelings they dont understand and are worried verbalising them could mean somthing. Personally im a strait male and i have no problems with complementing another guy, i may not be sexually attracted, but i can still appreciate when a guy is lookin fine.

because we don't look at men that way. we don't judge their looks. i wouldn't even know how to judge them based on looks because i'm not attracted to them.

besides all that, that's just gay as shit.

Insecurity in what others may think secretly about their sexuality. But it isn't their fault. Many today are making shallow assumptions about sexuality these days

  The reason is actually that men are afraid of appearing gay like yourself which is very pathetic tbh.

  It is not pathetic. It is simply that a hetero person does not want to be associated with gayness.
