Aside from your SO, of course. 😉 I have a serious crush on a man who works as a teacher. He’s not my teacher, thank Og, but my attraction to him is still rather embarrassing. I’m not being hyperbolic when I say that he’s the most attractive person I’ve ever seen. If I had to choose between him and a gorgeous celebrity (Jeffrey Dean Morgan, perhaps), I’d choose him every time. He’s just too…damn…cute! _ahem_ Anyway…have you ever encountered a ‘normal,’ everyday person who just happens to be insanely sexy? ---

I tend to encounter “non-famous” women who I find incredibly attractive FAR more frequently than I find myself attracted to famous women. ---

I think it’s easier for me to be attracted to people I know over celebrities because I get to know this person, and I’m attracted in part to who they are. That said, I have had two crushes in the last year. One was an older Scottish guy in a wheelchair, and the second is a guy I work with who, in addition to being a really nice guy close to my age, has that _voice_. Mmmm, the somewhat smokey kind of voice I love. I enjoy talking to him immensely. ---

I’ve mentioned on here before that I have a “girl crush” on one of my brother & SIL’s friends. She’s just cute as a button. Looks like a kewpie doll with big blue eyes, pretty hair and nice skin. She’s HELLA nice and fun, too. I don’t want to have sex with her (I’m a straight woman) but I like to look at her and get a little “funny feeling” when I am around her. ---

I had a boss who was very goodlooking. The first thing out of everyone’s mouth, male or female was “Wow is that guy goodlooking.” He was also smart, educated, well dressed and made $250,000/year and well everyone hated him 🙂 ---

Being a gay man, I’m always on the lookout for cute guys. But, one in particular stands out. Each morning before work, I stand outside my office building, sipping on coffee for a while before going in. Every day, a guy walks by and says hi. He is probably the most beautiful man I’ve ever seen. Genetically perfect body, nice butt, gorgeous face, dark hair, around 6’3", classic good looks. Damn, he is hot. He kind of takes my breath away, and I can’t really say that about anyone else on earth, as far as I know. ---

The wondeful liberal arts student who looks sensible, but holds his head a certain way, as if imagining Nietzsche on Mont Blanc or reminiscing about Virgil…the subtly indie dress and face( mmm…doubly homozygous recessive blue eyes- blond hair) that I KNOW that if I talk to him for extended periods of time, he WILL be an arse and insult my taste in music. The gangly techie with self-deprecating humour and massive social awkwardness, whose pretty face contorts with terror, because I am blessed with the skills of conversation making. ---

Years ago, there was a guy in our chorus who was so stuningly gorgeous that people just had to stare at him and sort of melt inside. I had a very hard time not staring at him and drooling. And the best thing was, he was just a really nice, down-to-earth guy, not in any way egotistical or self-absorbed. Then he relocated out of town. ---

Kelli, who would now be a junior (maybe senior) at Iowa State. As the old song goes, “You’ve got everything, style and smile and class and clothes…this and that and these and those.” ---

The most drop-dead gorgeous woman I have ever seen was a flight attendant on a little 19-seat commuter flight from Cedar City, Utah, to Salt Lake City. ---

Not to sound too creepy, but my nephew. Not that I have a crush or anything, but this young man is GQ material. I hadn’t seen him for a while, and he made the transition from kid to adult while I wasn’t looking. Then I saw him in a tux for his brother’s wedding. WOW! I didn’t know we had those genes in this family. (It doesn’t hurt that he was a competitive swimmer for most of his life.) ---

I work with a “wow that guy is good-looking” guy and on top of it he’s really nice. He looks all deep in your eyes while he’s talking to you and always says “oh hi, it’s nice to see you” and compliments your clothes and stuff all the time. I _think_ he does that to everyone. That’s what I keep telling myself. ---

There are a couple of wholesome-looking lovelies working at the local organic food store. There’s something about those no-makeup, granola types that’s sexy. ---

I didn’t think I had anything to contribute, but you made me remember my nephew too — the son of my husband’s sister. I’ve always thought he was a nice-looking boy, but like you, I suddenly saw this 23-year-old last summer and couldn’t believe he wasn’t out getting a modeling contract. ---
