I think Weiner has the types of looks where personality is the ultimate judge. If he has a great personality you notice the nice muscle tone and the obvious intelligence, if he has a bad personality you notice the skinniness and the “ew” qualities.

He’s pretty okay looking. Hot from certain angles, and just weird looking from others.

I’m reminded more of Big Bird, but beaky is definitely an issue.

I think he’s handsome, but his collection of photos make him look douchey, so subtract some points for that.

I voted “sexy”, but this is just for his speech on defunding NPR:

The dick pics prove that he has no idea what women are into. I thought only the dumb guys did that. What a bummer.

I said not sexy because while he’s not unattractive, he doesn’t appeal to me. I can see how some people might think he is sexy.

Not ugly, but nothing special either. Just a Meh.

I realize that my taste in men is often very different than most people’s. Bearing that in mind:

I would definitely do him, and I’m disappointed that I was not one of the recipients of his photos.

He looks like Ryan Stiles and Eddie Deezen had a baby together. He’s got geek chic, but I’m not sure I’d call him sexy.

He’s the male version of Maria Shriver, the Screaming Skull.

I dig him but a lot of it has to do with personality and humor. That’s really what appeals to me with just about any man. I’m one of the very few women who cannot abide George Clooney or Brad Pitt. Wouldn’t touch them if you paid me. (For real) My fantasy list includes Eddie Izzard and Jon Stewart so clearly I run left of center on that kind of thing.

wat? I think that sending dictures out to many random chicks is an aggressive non-sexy activity, but I’ve specifically requested such pictures (or enjoyed observing live cams thereof) from guys in the past, and enjoyed them (one time a guy even wrote my name on his foreskin in sharpie, which was hilarious and cute and I still have the picture).

There are a non-zero number of women who are into looking at naked pictures of guys. Not every woman thinks the male genitalia are “hideous-but-functional,” and you certainly don’t fucking speak for me. I thought Weiner’s weiner (the initial picture that provoked the whole scandal) was VERY tastefully exhibited, and yes, sexy.

If I didn’t know his name I’d say he looks like a wienie.

[Gawker.com](http://Gawker.com) has the uncensored photo, and the fact that he has a teenie weenie raises him from a double ewww to a triple ewww.

Could you define ‘teenie’? What do you consider average?

My guess from the photo is 6 inches, I’ve seen plenty larger and smaller, what I see in the photo I wouldn’t by any means say is ‘teenie’.

He’s doing the eiffel tower shot from below looking up to make it appear larger.
