You sure those guys aren't just gay? Straight guys don't tell another guy that he' s good looking.
Who says so? Why? One of my father's favorite expressions of affection for me was calling me a "handsome good-for-nothing."
He was on the beach supporting the Marines during the Allied invasion of Iwo Jima and got grazed by a Japanese bullet manning a machine gun while on his ship, where he lived for two years during the miserable war. He wasn't scared of anybody or anything, except tax authorities.
The idea of men being so rigid in their demeanor and speech sounds so pathetic and conformist, like a boy in boot camp trying to prove his masculinity.
