Sexiest Person Not An Actor or Model . . .

I want to see who people find sexy for reasons other than their physical perfection. I want to hear about those whose attractiveness has something to do with their character. I’m not talking about like or admire, I’m talking about WANT!

A good example for me would be Emeril Lagasse. I love a man who can cook . . .

I guess you can use actors, but they have to be character actors, not beefcake leading man types, okay?

I can’t remember his name, but there is one history prof who shows up being interviewed on a lot of documentaries on The History Channel, Discovery and others. It’s usually Western history—I mean, Western U.S. Cowboys and such. He’s gorgeous—silver hair, steely blue eyes. Just Dreeeemy.

I have a huge crush on Ben Folds, and also Joe Levy, a writer for Rolling Stone that they always interview on VH1.

Uuuu… ME!! LOL! Seriously though, a woman I work with. She’s incredible. Gorgeous body, great face, incredible smile, plus she’s nice, has a great sense of humor, and can really cook. I can Feel the old “one-eye” start to tickle every time she’s around. :smiley: We’re actually pretty good friends. Maybe that’s part of the attraction too…? Too bad none of you guys can see her. :stuck_out_tongue:

For me to be attracted to a woman, they MUST be nice. I really hate snobs, stuck up people are really unattractive. I also hate sleazy people. I have a friend (who happens to be a girl) who got drunk and wanted to “get busy” with me. Well, she’s fairly sleazy, so HELL NO I’m not getting it on with her. She’s really cute, and I like her as a friend, but I can’t be attracted to a girl that I know has “been around”.

As for turnons, all I can say is “DIMPLES”. Don’t know why, but I absolutely love a girl with dimples… :slight_smile:

Damn. That lets me out, Ozone. I’m a snob, stuck-up, AND I’m sleazy.

Oh Eve, you make me laugh. That in itself is attractive. :wink:

Eve, you’ve climbed another rung on the ladder :o)

That, and the way you set yourself up for my haircut joke was so gracious, I could have almost not posted it. :smiley:

I love to watch men do physical labor. Fixing cars, lifting things, yard work. Especially if they’re wearing those well-worn, faded jeans and work boots. No shirt or white t-shirt. I love the look of concentration on their face and their muscles all taut and sweaty.

Another image: Bruce Springsteen sweating on stage singing his heart out. Meat Loaf even emits sexuality when he performs and he ain’t exactly filet mignon, if ya catch my drift.

I once happened upon a guy in a college bookstore who was wearing threadbare jeans, a collarless white shirt with a thin blue stripe, had tousled brown hair, was clean-shaven, had bare feet, and was wearing a pretty big wooden cross strung on a string around his neck. He was standing on one leg like a stork with one foot touching the other leg at about the knee. He was just standing there, balanced like that, reading through one of the books. I have never been so fascinated by a complete stranger in all my life. I would have kissed him in a minute, without even thinking about it.

Well, two people that would fit the bill for me are two women activists whom I also find attractive:

Jody Williams, who shared the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize for her work with the International Campaign to Ban Landmines. This is an ordinary woman (not a millionaire) who started out a small organization and built it up to a worldwide movement.

Aung San Suu Kyi, the Burmese independence leader who has tried to bring democracy to Myanmar. The military dictatorship in power annulled the last democratic elections and has put her under house arrest. (Bad luck for me! She’s married.)

Of course, with activists like these, anyone wanting to date them should probably be prepared to “go down in the trenches” and help them with their cause.

Hey, good news for you, Arnie—Aung San Suu Kyi’s husband died a few months ago!

Now, if you can just shoot your way into her guarded compound in Myanmar . . .

I hate to admit it, but Tonya Harding has that affect on me. I wouldn’t want to date her or anything, but because of her bad girl image makes me wonder what she is like in bed…

Yes, Aung San Suu Kyi’s husband died. And the SLORC wouldn’t let her see him on his deathbed.

Pretty much any woman that plays guitar and sings is attractive to me, including but not limited to: Kim Deal, Jane Wiedlin, Kim Shattuck, Chrissy Hynde, Liz Phair, Courtney Love, Louise Post, Ani DiFranco, Carla Bozulich…

Love em all.

I hear Kurt Godel was a big hit with the ladies in his time.

Brian McFayden, a new MTV news anchor, is just the hottest man ever. Ten to the hour, every hour, I’m there, and I hear he is getting his own show!! :slight_smile: I think I find him so attractive because he has a bad-boy aspect to his personality. And his voice is sexy…and he does this eyebrow thing. Wow. He’s probably too old for me, like 25, but still. I’d be on that in a second!

Also, there is a guy at my college…he was in my Lit class briefly and then he dropped it. I talked to him for two minutes…anyway, he has black hair, tousled and spiky in the front, brown eyes, tall. He wears this black-ribbed turtleneck with jeans. I love artsy boys. I think his name is Dominic, but he has a girlfriend. Oh well. :slight_smile:

I didn’t know that Aung San Suu Kyi’s husband had died. How sad. :frowning:

I’m not surprised that the military dictatorship (aka SLORC) denied visas to her husband (englishman Michael Aris) to go see her. They have been trying to get her to leave the country ever since she has started her campaign for democracy in Myanmar.

Hmmm… Let’s see… someone not an actor and not famous. Someone who is witty, super smart and in my opinion just sexier than all getout…

Oh, this is just too easy… <grin>

Some time over a decade ago, People Magazine declared Lee Iacocca to be the Sexiest Man Alive.

I have to wonder what they were smoking when they made that decision, though…

I think Joe Bob Briggs, host of TNT’s Monstervision, is quite a dish. He’s not an actor, exactly.
