I like the actor, but I’ve never understood why so many women start drooling over Tom Hiddleston(Loki from Thor). Similarly, I’ve never gotten the love for Stephen Moyer(Bill from True Blood). Neither strike me as ugly, but neither strike me as really hot either. ---

Clearly Mick Jagger, like many men in their 70s, now resembles a dried-up crab stick, but the old man was once a young man and the young man was [pretty](http://static.tumblr.com/0ea3724c641ee7efe090abcaf778d13d/ft3jl4o/iwzmxaouw/tumblr_static_rxn2ryi.jpg). ---

Selena Gomez. She looks like a really cute 12 year old, but, that makes her a really deformed looking woman. Not worthy of all of the high praise that she is getting. ---

> [@Chronos](#): > > Do you think she should be, or are you just surprised that everyone consistently thinks she looks good, when we’re never consistent on anything? Personally, I’ve never understood that here. I don’t think she’s even supposed to be an attractive actress. Maybe in the past, but not now. Mila Kunis I get. She’s got a hot bod. But her face does nothing for me. There are a lot of hot bods in Hollywood, so the face is really important to me. She was much cuter as a kid. Same thing goes with Selena Gomez, although Gomez is getting cuter. It’s not a nerd thing, but a cute thing. I’m very much pro-cuteness and not overt sexuality. Ellen Page and Emma Watson are some of the most gorgeous women in Hollywood to me. They’re cute. ---

She was much cuter as a kid. Same thing goes with Selena Gomez, although Gomez is getting cuter. By normal standards she was attractive in That 70s Show but not so much that I made note of it. But then I saw her in Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Wow. [Stunning](http://www.ouchpress.com/mila-kunis/wallpapers/429392.html). And this is from someone who is much more into Kristen Bell types. ---

> [@BrotherCadfael](#): > > Carmen Diaz was _stunning_ in **The Mask** , but everything since then she is at best “meh”. This is due largely to her losing way too much weight in pursuit of the Hollywood anorexic ideal. I agree. The scene where she comes in out of the rain is great. In films after that I thought she was still attractive but too thin. I felt the same way about country artist Faith Hill. When she first hit she wore jeans and looked like a very pretty girl next door. She got very thin and “glamerous” whch for me was a turn off. ---

Uma Therman Of course this thread is really about people’s personal preference. There are a lot of women who don’t do it for me personally but I still recognize them as very attractive or hot. Such as Mila Kunis and Selina Gomez. ---

Heather Graham’s never done it for me. I mean, she has a great body, as evidenced in “Boogie Nights,” but her big bug eyes have always creeped me out.
