Allegedly hot chicks/studs whose appeal escapes you

I always thought Lisa Kudrow was the loveliest of the 3 female Friends. Or, rather, that Phoebe was the sexiest of the three, as sexiness is not identical to physical beauty, and also derives at least as much from personality as from physicality.

It’s amusing to see the change in taste between this thread and the doper picture threads.

Eh, I don’t think he’s even that. I’ve known several far more handsome guys in real life.

Why exactly would anyone (besides you) give a rat’s ass if the boy lifts weights??? I don’t understand why that’s a criteria for saying that his body is not impressive and beautiful. When I look at a man’s body, I am not trying to figure out his exercise regimen. At all.

I think Jennifer Aniston looks better now than she ever did on Friends. Rosario Dawson isn’t my type, but I can see why people find her attractive.

Another one for me is Gong Li. Not ugly by any means, but I just don’t see the real attraction. I also thought that she and Colin Farrell had zero sexual chemistry in Miami Vice.

Errr . . . not to push this thread too far off topic, but I wrestled in high school too, and my experience was entirely different. Wrestlers come in all shapes and sizes, and a few on our team had serious muscular development. Also, not all wrestlers drastically cut weight. Some actually bulk up to go up a weight, and those guys looked like walking anatomy charts. And personally, I gained a lot of muscle mass on the team while dieting. Dieting doesn’t mean you won’t pack on muscle. It just means you won’t pack on fat. I assure you it is possible to gain muscle mass on a diet while wrestling, especially if you lift weights. And I have yet to meet the serious wrestler who doesn’t consider pumping iron to be a second religion.

Argent Towers, got any pictures of yourself? :dubious:

(Who cares HOW the guy achieved it? It’s still sexy one way or another.)

Ewan’s also got that cheeky glint in his eye, those lovely baby blues, and that beautiful, beautiful accent.

How about back in the day: Tom Selleck? Seems like a nice guy, but never did a thing for me.

On that note, did any woman actually swoon over Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 80’s? He had a rippin’ bod, but kind of a buttisface, wasn’t he?

One of my friends had a crush on him when she was about eleven, actually.

Quoth Stranger on a Train:

It’s an absolute truism that whenever Hollywood makes a movie where one of the two female leads is supposed to be “the ugly one”, and the other is supposed to be “hot”, the “ugly” one will always, without exception, be the hotter of the two. Likewise, if the plot of a Hollywood movie involves an “ugly” woman becoming beautiful, she’s always hotter before the transformation than after.

Word. Uma Thurman hotter than Janeane Garofalo in The Truth About Cats and Dogs? I don’t fucking think so.

I actually think Uma Thurman is too pretty to include in this thread, but Janeane’s way more attractive. Funnier, too.

Yeah.

Still, nothing. If I squint, I can kind of see the appeal of Tom Cruise, but it’s hard to squint for an entire movie.

On the female side - Eliza Dushku.

So…you’re posting this from Bizarro World, I take it? Because while Ms. Thurman has a fair enough body, the best I can say of her face is that one does not turn immediately to stone upon meeting her eyes.

I remember when that movie came out, and I mentioned to my friends that I thought JG was way more attractive than Uma (who dosent do too much for me)…

No one would believe that I could see it that way.

I havent seen Garofolo in a while, but I have always thought she has a certain something that really draws me in.

Oh come on, she’s not that bad! She’s like an American Bjork. Her face isn’t conventionally beautiful, but it’s not bad looking, and she shows a quirky charm when she doesn’t try too hard. It works in Mad Dog and Glory, not so much in Pulp Fiction, but there’s no way I would include Uma in this thread.

I told you I am feeling cruel today. Between posts I have hacked into the Blackberries, iPhones, and so forth of every performer mentioned and forwarded all of the most vicious comments.

Yeah, JG reminds me of the ultra-cool poly-sci major who doesn’t fit in because she doesn’t have to. She’s not cool because she’s beautiful, she’s beautiful because she’s cool.

Fuck man, thanks a lot! I hope Sharon Stone doesn’t have me killed! :stuck_out_tongue:

Both my little sisters think he’s hot.

My baby sister is also in love with Patrick Stewart, whom she insists cannot possibly be nearly 70, because she intends to sleep with him given the chance and refuses to sleep with a man that old.

Rhymers are strange.

Sarah Jessica Parker was never considered a “hot chick”. When she was younger she was considered to be quirky cute, and when she became older she gained a reputation for being stylish, but she’s never had a reputation for being particularly beautiful.

Gong Li isn’t considered especially attractive in her native China, or at least wasn’t until she began gaining international attention. She was previously kind of the Meryl Streep of China – very respected for her acting ability but not regarded as a super hottie. It was something of a surprise to the Chinese public when Gong Li started to become known in the West and they learned that Westerners considered her to be an exotic beauty.

I first learned this from my Chinese film professor (that is, he was both Chinese and teaching a class on Chinese film), and have had it confirmed by several other Chinese acquaintances since then.

I appreciate the work he puts into it, but that particular body type doesn’t really do it for me. I like guys who have some meat on their bones.
