Patently unattractive, yet sexy/appealing anyway...

I just had this realization the other day:

Penn Jillette. Absolutely. NOT an attractive guy physically, but it makes no difference. He is so bright, so confident, so funny…he’s irresistable. I’d do him in a heartbeat.

Harder for me to pick women because I am one. But I’d love to see some one try. (I predict that people will say ridiculous things like “Janeane Garafolo” -if anyone is tempted, let me enlighten you: she is a lovely woman.) mostly because unattractive women pretty much never attain any level of fame. A few fat ones have, but that’s about it.

Anyway, who does it for you without you thinking of them as physcially attrractive at all?

I like the woman on The Norm Show, Laurie Metcalf.

I guess the fact that she’s in bars a lot and been in bed in a few episodes has given me so ideas.

Wow, this is harder to do with a woman. But anyway, Sportscenter’s Linda Cohn. She’s smart, she’s funny, and she has one of the six coolest jobs in the free world. I personally think that she’s also quite attractive, but most of my friends disagree.

Jack Nicholson–a photo of him, no appeal at all, but get him moving, talking, and it’s sex appeal city.
Same goes for Willie Nelson, oh, 15-20 years ago, I got dragged to one of his concerts, and, in person, charisma
to die for.

My boyfriend says Uma Thurman. He says she is plain ugly, but still sexy in some weird way.

Cyndi Lauper.

She’s got the body of something along the lines of a 12 year old girl or a stick with bumps, but has an absolutely cute face and a personality that just bubbles up all over the place. She just charms me all to pieces each time I see her perform.

Not exactly the same thing, but close enough.

I would rather watch Helen Hunt walk across the room in a parka than see any supermodel do the same thing naked.

I attended college with a young lady who had quite the ugly face, I mean it was bad. Anyway I was rather fond of looking at this face and her, but she refused to date me.

Linda Cohn is hot.

I think she’s absolutely gorgeous, and it’s not a physical thing (not that’s she’s physically unattractive…)

Also, I find my best friend to be amazing, even though some don’t share that view. Again, hardly a physical thing.

I know the OP probably inferred for “famous” examples, but, well… I can’t think of very many.

(I know the pictures probably won’t load… they did for me in preview… cut & paste, people!)

Whoopi Goldberg.

David Letterman. Plus he’s rumoured to have quite the basket. :wink:

Though I find the title of this thread to be a bit misleading - obviously if I want to do somebody, I find him attractive. Perhaps “conventionally unattractive” would be the better phrase. Cause Dave ain’t Mel Gibson, that’s for sure, but I’ve always found him appealing as hell. He’s also old enough to be my father, but I don’t care.

Sara Gilbert – Darlene on the Roseanne show
Definitely not Whoopi Goldberg – (flashbacks of her “act” would ruin the mood)
The Girl on the kid’s show – “Big Comfy Couch”

I’ve always had a huge crush on Teller. We should hook up sometime, Stoidela, and go to Vegas and seduce them.
I also would do Phillip Seymore Hoffman and circa 1981 Elvis Costello in a second.

Penn and/or Teller! They’re offbeat, so so centered in an odd way–funky, funny, bright–well, sigh!

Okay, an unpopular choice maybe, but I think Whoopi Goldberg is a total stitch. Her movies have sucked, but in every interview, etc. I’ve seen w/ her she’s funny, level-headed and seems like an ideal friend/person to just hang with.

Same w/ Dave Letterman. Sure, he’s an edgy, neurotic loner; so am I. This is a bad thing??

And–quit barfing–Drew Carey.

Penn is sexy. Why did i never notice it?

And i have to concur. I saw Drew on Millionaire Celebrity and he looked…y’know? :slight_smile:

I’ve been partial to Lynne Russell of CNN Headline News. I’m not sure why, though.

Yeah. :::sighs::: I know. Pure male guy, funny and confident enough to glory in his bright, randy teddy bear persona. Let me tell you, this guy is an icon! He projects excellent company, enthusiastic lover, good friend and the whole stubborn, maddening, entrancing male thing.

Pretty boys leave me cold. I’ve always found the best gifts come in simple wrappings. They last longer, give more joy, hold more suprises, don’t tarnish with wear…

Off to roll in the snow,

I used to go to HS with this girl who, to be blunt, is quite hideous, as far as conventional standards go. Short, very very fat, face like an ape, comically large breasts. Truly awful personality too.

However, I magically find her unbelievably sexy in some way I can’t describe. I don’t have a particular fetish for any of her attributes. I strongly dislike her as a person, but somehow… I’ve had some nice masturbation sessions thinking of her, and if I’ve been over-masturbating some particular day, and want to jerk off some more (I like masturbating) but am having some problems getting a full erection, thinking of her will almost certainly solidify me. Very very strange.

that might be a little too much information. :wink:

Diamud-

Sheez, I’m glad I’m not the only one. I used to love letting my 2 year old daughter watch the Big Comfy Couch just to see that girl. I just don’t know what it is about her, but I couldn’t wait till she did that stretch on the couch. Let me affirm to all you women that beauty doesn’t mean anything to me, but show me a girl that’s CUTE and I’ll do anything for her… well, at least I would have before I got married… ho hum.

Oops, I meant to say “until she did that stretch on the clock rug”. But I’d do her on the couch just the same. Wait, did I say that out loud?
