Rod Stewart. He is MILES away from classically handsome, but I think he is just plain sexy. Oh, and I love his voice, too . 🆒 ---

> [@SmartAleq](#): > > I concur that you’d have to be from some alternate universe in order to think Clive Owen anything other than TOTALLY HAAAWWWT. Especially since I recently watched “Close My Eyes,” WARNING: the spoiler contains info on “Close My Eyes” and “Angels and Insects” Interesting that both films feature brother-sister incest and full-frontals on the guys playing the brothers. ---

Marla Sokoloff is considered ugly in my circle of friends. I think she’s quite cute and even hot. Also, I really am attracted to[Schuyler Fisk](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schuyler_Fisk). Jolie…eh, not so much. ---

Maybe it’s that once you’ve busted up one taboo, the rest don’t seem quite so heinous! “Close My Eyes” is sexier, IMO, but “Angels and Insects” is much the weirder movie by a long shot. And Clive is much hotter than that ruddy faced slab of underdone bacon who played the brother in A&I–AND he has a bigger penis, too! Not that I’m measuring, and not that it makes any difference at all, guys, it’s not the size that counts and all that reassuring stuff… 😛 ---

[Jack Black.](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Black_%28actor%29) Although it doesn’t seem odd to me personally. If I wasn’t able to find appeal in large guys, I would never have hooked up with Mr. Rilch. ---

> [@Annie-Xmas](#): > > Bruce Willis (particularly Bald Bruce Willis) and especially David Ducovey, who is much better looking put together than he should be, considering his individual features are nothing special. Um, both of these guys are considered Hollywood hunks. I don’t think they qualify. ---

Also Clea Duvall…not at all a “regular” hotty such as they slather onto Maxim each month, but I find her oddly sexy. Very sexy. ---

Why do I think this is getting to be a free pass for those who admire the men, but for those who are into women, it’s turning into a double-dare-gross-out contest? Every female but Bea Arthur so far gets the “she’s not _really ugly_” comeback. Are we really waiting for someone to say, “I have the hots for an irredeemably skank-ass chyk?” Which will accomplish what?
