Men - Would You Date Jenny McCarthy?

I wouldn’t date her. But I’d be willing to have sex with her.

She’s still hot and has aged better than someone like Pam, so yeah I would.

Yikes! I wish I could change my vote. I voted “yes” because I remembered her from about a decade ago. Now she looks pasty and just awful!

Ha, yeah. If that’s pasty and awful, I must be needing to just shoot myself.

Pasty - yes.
Awful - only when speaking.

I wouldn’t mind going out with her once; it would probably make for a fun story!

She might get a bit wierded out by my “superheroine-in-KO-peril” fetish, though, but why not give it a shot? “Hey, Jenny, are you into role-playing? Do you mind trying on this Wonder Woman costume? I would like to pretend to chloroform you. No, there’s nothing wrong with me; why do you ask? Oh, come on, it will be fun! Let’s just watch the chloroform scene in the “Fausta: The Nazi Wonder Woman” episode, to show you what I want…”

Next step – Restraining Order!

Well, that was fun!

There were two rules for me dating a girl back when I was single: No idiots and no fake breasts.

Jenn, sorry, but two strikes and you’re out.

I’m married, so it’s out of the question. But assuming I had never met my wife?

Only while wearing this t-shirt.

YMMV, I guess, but if you don’t think she’s smart it says to me you don’t know much about her except her opposition to vaccinations. In interviews and in her various roles as a TV hostess, she comes across as extremely smart and quick-witted.

As for the “let your children die” bit, well that just seems like a cheap shot to me. That is of course not her line of thinking. She thinks that she is protecting children (misguidedly so, we agree on that).

Nutty? Yeah, but like I said, everybody’s nutty in some way. I’d date her, just as I would date someone who is nutty on politics, or has some weird dietary notions, or whatever. If you are going to eliminate everyone who has a nutty idea of one kind or another, you just won’t be dating.

We’re not talking marriage here, for crying out loud.

My first, last, and pretty much only exposure to Ms. McCarthy’s personality comes from her role on MTV’s Singled Out back in the mid/late 90s. I despised her. Looks could not make up for the way she portrayed herself as host of that show. I don’t know how much was real and how much was an invention for the show, and I never really wanted to find out.

No one who makes as many stupid remarks as she does on vaccines (easily corrected stupidity :rolleyes:) can ever be considered smart.

She’s speaking out against basic public health measures, measures that have been proven over and over again to save lives. She literally lies about vaccines. She’s been corrected time and again and she still spouts the same stupid lies.

Anti-vaccination isn’t like other beliefs. You don’t want to eat meat or you want to worship rainbows hey go ahead. It’s certainly no real concern of mine.

But when you don’t vaccinate your baby you put my health and the health of other people directly at risk. Most vaccine preventable illnesses are highly contagious. Young babies (who cannot get vaccinated yet for many illnesses), the elderly and the immuno-compromised are directly at risk of lousy rotten diseases because of total fucking idiots like her.

That’s inexcusable.

Well, you’re just wrong about that. Smart people get invested in crazy beliefs on a regular basis.

That’s fair, and I do see your point, but there are a handful of qualities a person can have that I can’t get past, nor feel any need to try to get past. Being stupid enough to campaign for something that had been demonstrably (not to mention pretty fuckin’ obviously) false for so long, and helped cause so many deaths is one of them. Being against gay rights is another- I would never fuck someone who voted yes on Prop 8.

People can think whatever they want, but when they are in a position of power, and use that power to convince others of their delusion, they (and those that gave them a voice) should be judged by the result of their actions. In the end, Jenny McCarthy has encouraged others to let their children die. I hold the same disdain for people who pray to Og for their children’s health in lieu of actually doing something that might actually work.

We hold plenty of people to these standards. If Obama’s healthcare does in fact result in everyone going broke and dying and the antichrist takes over the country, we’re not going to sit around in our tents ten years from now and say “well, he meant well, and damned if he wasn’t a handsome chap.”

All that said, I wouldn’t have hesitated to say yes before I caught wind of her hysteria; I always thought she was super-hot, and I’m not much in to skinny blondes.

No, I wouldn’t date Jenny McCarthy; she’s not at all my type. But I would definitely date Jim Carrey.

I voted yes under the assumption that I could make sure she was unable to speak for most of the time I was with her.

No, because she has an evil-looking chin. Unless she was the last woman on earth, in which case I would, out of megalomania, despite being sickened by the resulting evil-chinned incestuous off-spring.

I suspect roughly 2/3 of the respondents are lying.

ETA except panache45

Seriously - she’s horrible.

I’m more attracted to girl-next-door types. If this were a “Would You Date Sandra Bullock” thread, I’d be all over that like her ex’s tattoos. Ditto new Who-babe Karen Gillan. And for a genuine “thinking man’s crumpet” there’s the lovely and deeply intelligent Victoria Coren. She’s not your standard twiglet (which is fine) and could use a better wardrobe for her television gigs but still, phwoar.

But Jenny McCarthy? No. Really no.

Why you guys get your pants up over that vaccine thing ? Haven’t you all dated at some time of your life some chick who believed astrology was an exact science ?

How many people have died as a result of this hypothetical woman’s belief in astrology?

McCarthy has gone way past lovable eccentricity. Her actions are making the world a worse place.
