Symetrical-Siren Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 Guys/Gals......have any of you seen either a celebrity or someone in real life, that you thought was physically unappealing, but something about them is just undeniably "sexy" to you ? I'll give some great examples from "Kissing Jessica Stein". (Mick Jagger, James Woods, Harvey Keitel - I only agree with the Harvey Keitel).....I'll add Aidan Quinn and Steve Buscemi to that list.
Feelin Frisky Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 Sure. Very often. I won't name any because others might think they are neither. But I get the idea. *cough* jenine garaffolo *cough*
insertnamehere Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 It's much rarer in the case of guys. I suspect this arises from the fact that culturally, we tell women to tap down a big persona. Guys on the other hand are often encouraged, especially if they're ugly, to sort of "go big or go home". I have found women sexy who I simply could not justify to my friends. I happen to like a particular type of strong-willed woman and for me that can over-ride some of the more traditional male attitudes toward beauty. I'll take a 5 with a serious attitude over an 8 with no personality. And I still think a lot of guys are missing out on the girls with pink mohawks. That sort of **** just sets me off with a woman. I love a woman who can throw her style and attitude out there with a full bore "**** you". That said . . . it doesn't seem effective into the Mick Jagger / proof humans descended from apes range of ugly. In that regard, it's different from how women see it. A woman will swoon over a guy who, minus status, is a 3 or even a 2. Guys will never go that far down the scale.
taiko Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 Lori Petty, Elizabeth Pena, Sandra Oh, Irma Aldawan......
Eliana Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 i never understood Sarah Jessica Parker in the pool of beauty that hollywood shoots at us. Must be the shoes.
AHardDaysNight Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 Sarah Jessica Parker was hot in that movie about the three witches. That was the only time I found her sexy. Must have been all the heavy makeup she was wearing! Avril Lavigne is very strange looking, yet I think she is one of the sexiest women I've ever seen!
taiko Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 i never understood Sarah Jessica Parker in the pool of beauty that hollywood shoots at us. Must be the shoes. I don't think it is a man thing but a women thing. And women see her as a fashion icon. I remember back on Square Pegs she was the ugly one, Jami Gertz whose body never filled out either being the cute one. Then she was just a young girl with energy opposite Steve Martin on LA Story, from there Sex In The City and fashion magazine covers and the rest is history.
CarrieT Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 For me it is Geoffrey Rush. He is very un-attractive and SOOOOOO sexy.
TrueColors Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 Sarah has sharper lines in her face and that takes away some slight femininity I think. I myself have mixed feelings about her....I think she's cute and bubly, but I don't know if I can be attracted. Sucks how damn finicky people are with appearance. I wonder how she takes such opinions and deals with that? I wonder if she lets it bother her?..I bet not, but who knows. I think Sarah has what's called a "handsome" face. Yes, she tends to have harsher facial lines, contributing to a more "masculine" feel. I remember there was actually a blog about Sarah's face comparing her to a horse. Apparently she was told about it and found it amusing. But it does make you wonder how deep these things can go... As for me, I'm with the Janeane crowd too - and this is coming from a straight woman! There's also something I find charming about Jeff Bridges, Steve Buscemi and Paul Giamatti. But I guess I've never been much of a "looks" person. For starters, I've never been one to swoon over George Clooney or Brad Pitt, even though I can see what others find attractive about them. Oh and Aidan Quinn in Desperately Seeking Susan...
geek101 Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 For me it is Geoffrey Rush. He is very un-attractive and SOOOOOO sexy. I agree with this! Did you see him in Quills? Also, Alan Rickman (especially as Snape), and for some reason, had a major crush on Ben from Lost.
Els Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 Avril Lavigne is very strange looking, yet I think she is one of the sexiest women I've ever seen! Avril Lavigne strange-looking?? I think people mistake she and Lady Gaga as strange-looking due to their different styles/makeup... IMO their features and bodies fit quite well into the stereotypical 'hot girl' look. In fact, I think the only female celebrities who don't are Susan Boyle and Adele... okay, and maybe SJP IRL, sure. Physical looks are only a small part of sexual attraction to me, personally. Celebrity-wise, I would say Hugh Laurie in House, but I think he's quite a popular item amongst women despite not having the stereotypical 'hot guy' look. Oh, and Sheldon from BBT. :lmao:
AHardDaysNight Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 Well, it's something about her smile and nose. It's goofy looking, but sexy at the same time. An example is this: http://images4.fanpop.com/image/photos/20400000/Avril-Lavigne-Smile-avril-lavigne-20415115-500-500.jpg Still, she's one of the sexiest pop stars out there. She exudes sex appeal!
Els Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 Ohhh, yeah. But damn I love her hair. If only it weren't so expensive and difficult to maintain.
