They are indistinguishable to me, in that I find them both really bland and not all that attractive.

Not really getting the “indistinguishable” votes/comments–they seem quite distinct from each other to me, anyway–but I’m a big _Buffy_ fan, so there you go.

Which part of “Jennifer Love Hewitt or Sarah Michelle Gellar” do you not understand? 😛

Not sure who is more attractive physically, but personality wise, JLH is almost always adorable and accessible, whereas SMG is frequently whiny, distant, and maybe even bitchy.

I voted for JLH in the poll. But really, this sums up my true feelings on the matter.

I’m upset at SMG for getting freakishly skinny in seasons four and five of BTVS.

It almost ruined the show for me because it looked like the bones in her arms might snap every time she hit someone.

For a very long time I would have voted JLH by a mile. But then she got fat, and that image has stuck with me so even after losing the weight I vote SMG by a decent margin. SMG also appears to be aging better.

Oh, I understand their “parts” just fine-I just prefer Alyson’s parts. 😃

Fortunately someone made [a new poll](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=590634), so \<bleah\> :p.

She has a face?

Talk about making me excited!

At any rate, SMG’s face on JLH’s body is my preference.

SMG can get a boob job, but, JLH can’t get that much of a face job.

Best wishes,

J-Love for me. Love brunettes with some grab on 'em.

Buffy was a far better character. JLH is the hotter actress.

Mark me down as another guy who never found SMG attractive at all. She kind of reminds me of Amy Sedaris, actually. (That’s not a good thing.)

I’m also a breast man, so this question is easy.

I didn’t vote, but to my knowledge Jennifer Love Hewitt has never visited the SDMB.

Um, are you implying that SMG has visited the SDMB? Just curious.

Yes, someone posted about it. Apparently, back in the '90s, she talked in an interview about what she did on the net and said that she was a member.

Um, Sarah… I really think you are the hottest, and the smartest, and the most gracious, and I’d love to buy you a cup of coffee sometime.
