I always figured this was an eye-of-the-beholder sort of thing. There are some women that just press my buttons, so to speak. Whatever quality it is, it seems to have very little to do with what it takes to get on a sexiest celebrities list. They’re liable to show up anywhere; there’s an ad for a credit card on the bottom of this page with a woman who is wicked cute. ---

I’m asexual and he is gay, but I’d do Jim Parsons in a heartbeat. And I think David Duchovny is drop dead sexy, but I’ve never been able to figure out why. ---

Sara Rue, even before she lost all the weight. She doesn’t really look better or worse now, IMO, just different. ---

She isn’t on the radar of jock magazine “sexiest” lists, but if you guys are under the impression that it’s a competition between the two of you to attend to poor lonely Felicia’s _needs_, a few dozen million geeks & nerds may have a bone to pick with you.
