Is Jimmy "Wikipedia" Wales Handsome?

Those of you who visit the Wikipedia will note when you go there, you get hit with a personal appeal from Jimmy Wales founder (or co-founder, depending on whom you believe).

He seems to be quite the handsome man to me. I’m a gay male, but I was wondering what others think?

I never really think of computer people as being attractive, you know you picture them all like Bill Gates, a bit on the dorky side

Any other comments you want to make about this guy I’d like to hear

Straight female - I said so-so. Good facial structure, nice eyes, hate the facial hair in many of the pics, and looks a bit too weathered for his age.

I said so/so. It wouldn’t occur to me to call him handsome, but if I got romantically involved with him I’d have no issues with his appearance.

Glad to be in the majority, although I said so-so because I didn’t want to commit. It’s like betting that a tossed coin will land on its edge.

Female, I voted “so-so”.

He’s a nice looking guy and has nice eyes and a nice smile, but he’s average to above average, and not strikingly handsome.

(PS: Is that you, Jimmy?)

Yeah, I voted “so-so” as well. He’s nice enough looking, but not quite in my definition of “handsome”.

I voted so-so as well. He is not classically handsome, but I could see how he could be attractive. He’s not ugly by any stretch. His face has character.

He looks a little like a poor man’s Daniel Craig, doesn’t he? C’mon, I can’t be the only one to see that, right?

Anywho, I voted so-so— he’s handsome enough, just not my type. I like guys with a stronger jawline, personally.

I voted ‘So-so’. I’m sure plenty would think him handsome. In some pics he looks pretty good to me, but others show he’s got a recending chin, weakish jawline and slopey forehead. So he’s not my cup of tea.

I voted “no”. I don’t like his face, including the whiskers but especially the eyes - I don’t trust those eyes. And I don’t like the way he dresses.

On a scale of 0-10, I’d rate him somewhere between a 3.0 and an 8.5. It depends on the angle and lighting and probably a few other factors. When I saw him on Charlie Rose I was very unimpressed by his looks, but some pics get a very different reaction from me.

Easy enough on the eyes. I like a bit of weathering, though.

I am getting a little bit tired of/creeped out by having him staring at me out of every single wikipedia page I visit, though.

OK you win the award for best response :smiley:

Halfway between so-so and yes. He’d be a lot closer to yes if he’d shave.

I think he looks like that actor from Blood Simple.

Straight male here. I think he’s relatively handsome, but the rotating banners of him in various dramatically-lit shots are extremely creepy. It’s the friggin’ Cult of Jimmy.

There should be a little ‘x’ in the corner of the banner you can click to make it go away. I clicked it days ago and the banner has never reappeared.

He’s okay. He looks a bit like Hodgins on Bones, only Hodgins is cuter.

He’s okay-looking. His Ayn Rand obsession is a big turn-off, though.

Ditto on the creepy thing. He has a pretty creepy stare in some of those pics.
