Recently, there was a list of women whom men found surprisingly attractive–you know, not the usual types like supermodels–I know Hilary Clinton made the list.
So, fellow female posters (of course if a guy wants to post, that’s ok too.)–who are the men you find surprisingly attractive?
I’ll volunteer mine:
Bill Nye the Science Guy–he’s intelligent, he’s funny, he’s active–on his show, he’s always riding bikes, rowing boats, bungee jumping, etc.
Drew Carey–I love a man with a sense of humor.

I don’t know the name of the guy, but there was an episode of “Ally McBeal” where Ally was pursued by an overweight man. He wasn’t grotesquely overweight, but he was a big, biiiiig boy.
Despite the fact that the whole focus of the show was how Ally was repulsed by him, I found him absolutely adorable (as a character, at least). He was a genuine, gentle romantic, unpretentious and kind. Oh. Oh yeah. He was engaged at the time of his pursuit of Ally (but, only because he believed he would never deserve/get the “pretty girl”).
I would’ve dated him! (Once he called it off with his fiance)
Don’t know if he counts (because, really, he was on People magazine’s most handsome list) but Jim Carey. Most people look at me funny, but he gorgeous! Also the guy that does Blue’s Clues on Nick Jr. He’s adorable in a dorky kind of way.
The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.

Just like how I think Anthony Edwards from ER is cute, in sort of a dorky way? Same with Adam Sandler. He’s a huge spaz, but I still can’t help but think he’s adorable.
I was surprised at how much more attractive in person Jay Leno is than on television. He’s not my type, and does nothing for me when I see him on the tube, but in person he has this charisma or something that really interests and attracts me.
Jeff Goldblum, Mike Myers, Greg Kinnear, John De Lancie (Q from Star Trek), Tim Curry, Gary Oldman, Aidan Quinn, Al Pacino, Anthony LaPaglia, Mini-Me, Christopher Lambert, Julian Sands, Brian Setzer, Thomas Dolby, Dave Matthews, Robert Carlyle, Liam Neeson, Samuel L. Jackson, Gabriel Byrne, Jeremy Irons, Jared Leto, Nicholas Cage, Keifer Sutherland, Judd Nelson, Oliver Platt, and Brandon Lee.
That’s all I could come up with for now… ok, so some of them aren’t surprisingly attractive, but I went on a tangent…
I’m going to have to agree with you guys that think David Letterman is very attractive. Also I think Liam Neeson, Adam Sandler, Hugh Grant, Mike Myers, and Ben Stein’s trust sidekick, I can’t remember exactly, but I think his name is Jimmy, or something like that. And of course, David Duchovney, but that’s not at all surprising.
David Foley (formerly of Kids in the Hall and News Radio). Looks very preppy and conservative, but at heart he’s the weirdest guy on the planet. Very sexy. He’s the only “celebrity” I would actually consider dating.
I’d date him in a second.
