Of course guys are going to think about girls' looks (and the opposite is true as well), I think their point is that there is a time and a place for compliments. If we are talking about Alex Morgan on the red carpet of some event it is fine to say she looks great. If we are talking about her being one of the best women's soccer players in the world, it isn't, or at least a lot of people feel it shouldn't be.

A guy can be a guy and think whatever he wants, he just sometimes might keep those thoughts to himself.
