I don’t see how this is even vaguely related to arts or entertainment, and I’m moving it to IMHO forum.

Man, ain’t that the truth. This thread certainly drove that point home. There are lots of women in here people think are attractive that I thought :eek: and lots that people said were unattractive that I would certainly take home and keep.

Did you see her in _Playboy_ a few years ago?

Franka Potente. I’d go out with her in a second, and she would probably be a lot of fun to be around…but she’s also got…character.

_The queen of the butterfaces is Fergie, from the Black Eyes Peas. One of the most killer, sexiest bdoes I have ver seen, but damn, her face is not attractive._

OP by bouv  
Fergie is what I would call striking. I don’t think she’s unattractive. She just doesn’t have the movie star- beautiful looks.

Excuse me? Tobey Maguire is decent looking, hardly ugly at all. And Ewen? You’re saying Ewen is ugly? He’s dreaaaammmmmmy! Definitely one of the best looking guys in Hollywood IMO.

Yes. Just not Kenny Chesney’s.

Hmm. I think Angelina Jolie is almost inhumanly beautiful in the face. It’s the body that I fund unappealling. She has good boobs, but the rest of it is nothing to write home about. \*No \* ass, and skinny, skinny, skinny. Lollipop head skinny.

[Fergie](http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/1383/fergiefugly22223hd.jpg) is [terrifying](http://img478.imageshack.us/img478/297/jsiyox3im.jpg). Just say no to drugs, kids.

Oh, and [Brad Pitt](http://www.smh.com.au/ffximage/2005/07/13/pitt_narrowweb__200x255.jpg) and [Benicio del Toro](http://eur.news1.yimg.com/eur.yimg.com/xp/corazon/20040205/18/3739618277.jpg) have the _exact same face_.

Looks like Kirstie Alley after a bad Photoshopping.

I have to admit that I thought Bradd Pitt was hot. He still has a hot body, but lately he’s been looking awfully rough. I dunno, I’ve never been one to be attracted to “pretty boys”. I like a little ruggedness or non-perfection.

My husband thinks that those of you who mentioned Angelina Jolie are smoking crack.

Finally, the comment about the machete and the ugly forest had me rolling. That was awesome.

I’m thinking more like [Katherine Helmond](http://www.shermanlabs.com/web2/brazil5.jpg) in **Brazil** , the scene in the plastic surgeon’s office with the clamps and stuff… :eek:

My first thought was [Ellen Barkin](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000289/). When she was in **Sea of Love** , I wanted to grow up to be just like her.

Next was [Mark Wahlberg](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000242/), especially in his Calvin Klein days. And I don’t care much for hard bodies either, but damn.

Last of all, I’m really disappointed in [Anthony Kiedis](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0452347/). I LOVE long hair on guys, and I so wanted to like him, but it just wouldn’t happening. Of course, it’s not any better after he cut it all off either.

Oh, and how about Carrot Top? Isn’t he incredibly cut? Nothing necessary to say about the face though. :eek:

I agree with you that her face has got character, but I think that’s what makes her especially sexy. There are some “faces with character” that turn me off and there are some faces where the “character” doesn’t really do it for me but doesn’t really make the person unattractive for me. Then there are faces that have character that draw me to them and increase my attraction.

[Franka Potente](http://www.kino.de/pix/MBBILDER/MITWIRK/Z0226534.JPG) is in the third category for me. She kind of reminds me of [Claire Danes](http://www.theage.com.au/ffximage/2004/11/26/danes,0.jpg).

I agree on Ewan. Man, he is a _beautiful_ man. And he’s got the most gorgeous smile.

But Tobey Maguire? I could see that many people would call him decent looking, but there’s something about his face that sort of repulses me. Excellent actor, though. I greatly enjoy his movies.

Adrien Brody is one of those people with a face with character. I can see why some people think he’s ugly, but I think he’s about the most gorgeous man in existence.

Does anyone think Pamela Anderson has a nice face? I’ve always thought her face was sorta gross-looking.

ahem. most of these people are airbrushed, so when you say “pretty”, you’re really complimenting the dude(ette) with the spray gun.  
with that being said, i was a HUGE fan of jenny mccarthy’s back in the day.

disturbingly pretty, giant tits, and wacky as hell.  
i like me some quirky females. just not ones that key my car. that makes me want to bang their sisters…but i digress…

and yeah, pam’s face is pretty, but the time she spent in the sun is catching up to her awful fast.

frankoa potente is what i’d call “eurohot”. not that it’s any less pretty, it’s just a differnt brand of pretty. i’d toss it in her butt.

you women that don’t like hardbodies, why not? what is it?
