No, I would not want to know. I would not particularly want to know if you found me attractive, either, as it is completely irrelevant to me, though I would not particularly object to you expressing such an opinion (depending on how it was expressed). If you were a woman, I still would not be very interested either way, though there would then be at least a theoretical possibility of relevance if something were to happen to my wife.
In no case, though, do I want an unsolicited expression of repulsion, no matter what sex the person is. If I were foolish enough to ask, then it would be on me. But I don't ask people such questions, ever.
If someone wants to give unsolicited compliments, that can be okay, depending on the circumstances and manner of expression. But unprovoked insults are never welcome.
