[QUOTE=Sunspace] Heck, I’m a het guy, and _I_ want to ask him out. Or at least go down to the pub with him. Just so the hotness rubs off, mind. I do think the suit is a bit awkward; he looks like he’d be more comfortable like [this](http://www.sunspace.org/scott_long.jpg). [/QUOTE] So, what you’re saying is you’d like him to rub off on you a little? ---

He’s too… _clean_. Get some scruff on him, get him in jeans and a white t-shirt, set him doing something physical, then we’ll talk. ---

I don’t usually go for the overly handsome type but I saw his pic and thought, “Oh, dayam!” He does look a lot like Fabio (who is meh to me) but he pulls it off much, much better. Excuse me while I go find something to drool in. ---

He’s got great bone structure. You could cut yourself on those cheekbones and that chin. ---

[QUOTE=TroubleAgain] He’s got great bone structure. You could cut yourself on those cheekbones and that chin. [/QUOTE] I wouldn’t mind sitting in a lawn chair watching him mow my yard. Shirtless, of course. But, can he carry on a conversation? You have to talk to them _sometime._ ---

He looks like a skinny pretty boy. I’ve never cared for those. I’m sure he’s heartbroken. 😛 ---

[QUOTE=Antinor01] Why? 😃 [/QUOTE] Because you can’t spend all your time having sex. You have to eat dinner sometime, and then, what are you going to talk about? I’m one of those who thought Chandler was sexier than Joey. Sure, Joey, was cuter, but Chandler was smarter and funny in a wry way, not funny in a stupid naive way like Joey. ---

It’s interesting that for the most part, men assume that women want him based solely on his looks, while women either don’t like his type or want to know more about his personality. That speaks volumes about gender differences in priorities. ---

Just in case you are curious, he is currently second in line to the throne of Monoco as well - after his mother. Yeah, I’m thinking that this guy sort of won the babe lottery (or maybe he like guys - that wouldn’t be a problem either). He did lose his father young to a boating accident, so it isn’t like rich, good looking and royal haven’t kept him from tragedy. ---

That speaks volumes about gender differences in priorities. [/QUOTE] Well no, I’d assume women wanted him based on his looks and his status, which is colossal, although I also expect many women in this thread to be finding those grapes exceedingly sour. 😛 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/speaking-of-good-gene-pools-think-this-guy-has-problems-getting-a-date/447444.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/speaking-of-good-gene-pools-think-this-guy-has-problems-getting-a-date/447444.md?page=3)
