I would say Amy Adams falls squarely into this category. She’s a good looking woman for sure, but very very plain, exceptionally so even.
Still not getting the homely. Perhaps you have different standards. “Not achingly beautiful but still beautiful” /= homely.
I hesitate to agree with my evil comrade, but I must. I am in no way a fan of young Miss Swift, and I think her legs and arms and spindly, but that’s quite a pleasant face. A great beauty? No. Homely? Far from it.
Gina Torres doesn’t really do it for me, but the other three are all varying degrees of smokin’.
But eye of the beholder, and all that; I don’t expect any two guys to be driven to drooling over the same woman. Oddly though, if there is someone who has the same taste in women that I do, it’s Joss Whedon. The lust-object quotient of his shows has been higher than I would have any reasonable right to expect.

I could go out tonight, even in a small town like Portland, and find some dozens of women more fuckable.
To weigh in on Willow’s partners: Tara was definitely hot, and I think her face was pretty adorable. Kennedy was totally on the ball as well. I’d do one at a time, but their personalities as characters were not all that great. Speaking of Eliza Dushku – she looked gross in Buffy. But I used to watch that “Tru Calling” just to get the old wifey in the mood for some hot bitch action (in my mind; in reality she usually just fell asleep, but that doesn’t stop a real man from PIV or, as well call it, equation thanks to Watt).
+whatever to that Bradley Cooper – I’d look close to him if I lost twenty pounds and did my usual hairstyle [=lazy, just run a comb from my back pocket straight back].
I about muff-punched my own mother when I saw her for my Birthday last week and she said I looked like Nick Cage. I about punched in the dick some motherfucker (who owned a bar I played at, so I needed to be graceful) who said I looked like Donald Fagen. I bet there’s some male-attracted folks who think the Cage man is pretty handsome (WTF with the eyebrows, though? Even I got enough sense to use some tweezers).
Some oldies but goodies. I confess I never understood Mary Astor’s as an actress or a looker. I love The Maltese Falcon and The Prisoner of Zenda but she plays characters that are supposed to be jaw-droppingly gorgeous but the best she can muster is plain and emotionally disengaged. In the '20’s she was cute and had a classic round flapper face, but it did her no favors in the 30’s & 40’s.
Likewise, Bette Davis, who had enough vereve and personality to convice you that looks had nothing to do with it, but in a movie like Jezebel, a little better looking would have helped push the illusion.
She’s not “still beautiful.” She’s ugly. Her face is off-putting. Someone messed up when they made it.
I vehemently disagree. Amy Adams has the perfect “Irish Girl” face. Julianne Moore is another. No, it’s not just the red hair, though that’s part of it - it’s the facial features as well. There’s definitely a female “Irish” face. Drew Barrymore kind of has it too.
Not really getting Kristen Wiig, either the sexy or the funny. Tina Fey was way more of both.
Wow. I think Amy Adams is drop-dead gorgeous.
That’s a compliment in my book. The guy looks weird, but it’s the best kind of weird. Fagen personifies cool.
Sorry if she’s been mentioned, but Lucy Liu is not attractive.
Pistols and coffee at dawn, suh!
I don’t know what bizarro-world you’re from but if you don’t want her I"LL sure as hell take her. Freckles, eyes and all. Yowza.
Tom Cruise.
He becomes more and more unattractive as his self-importance grows.
~VOW
Summer Glau looks like she has a mild form of Down Syndrome.
Freckles aren’t the problem. It’s her weird eye that creeps me out.
I wouldn’t go that far, but I really don’t get all the fanboy lust for Summer Glau. She was by far the least attractive woman on Firefly.
Every generation must address this sort of deep, philosophical conundrum; and in seeking an answer, come to grips with their place in the universe. It used to be “Ginger or Mary Ann?”
The correct answer, of course, being Mary Ann
