Maybe there’s more to beauty than what KK has, but we’re not talkin’ about\* beauty\*, if you know what I mean. She has (or maybe had? I don’t really keep up enough to know if she’s still in her heyday) the ultimate feminine figure and face. In my opinion, of course. ---

Funny, I had the opposite thought. Even after her look has been copied in a thousand duckfaced social media selfies, even after she decided that her curves needed to illustrate the emergency-flotation manual for the Lockheed L-1011, she has this dark smoldering look that I personally find quite fetching. ---

> [@cher3](#): > > She’s perfectly pleasant-looking, but aside from her admirable Hollywood gym-bod, I’ve never been able to see why Jennifer Aniston is considered such a great beauty. I never got why she was considered the pretty one on Friends, but I have to admit that she is aging very well. I wish I were aging half as well. I think that Jennifer Aniston, right now, is one of the most attractive women of her age. But yeah, 25 years ago, what was all the fuss about? > [@SpoilerVirgin](#): > > George Clooney. I’ve been watching him since his _Facts of Life_/\*Roseanne \*days, and I would never have imagined that he would someday be considered a great sex symbol. Does nothing for me - then or now. I would like to be president, vice-president, secretary-treasurer, and head of the secret Santa committee for the George Clooney non-fan club. I thought he was blue-collar OK-- attractive among the men that Jackie dated on Roseanne, but that makes him about a 7, tops, and that was when he was young. He is NOT aging well, and was never especially sexy. When he was young, he was OK, but now, he is about as sexy as a can of Alpo. ---

> [@MeanJoe](#): > > The only one who always come to mind for me when this is brought up is Angelina Jolie. Objectively she is an attractive woman, yet she does absolutely nothing for me. Back in the late 90s, she was pretty much the absolutely physically most perfect woman to me. Not so much now, but good lord she was smokin! Mila Kunis, too. ROWR!! Of the big names, I guess Julia Roberts would be the one that never did it for me. I mean, it’s not like I’d kick her out of bed for eating crackers, but if I must play this game, she’d be the one. ---

Most all of them. Wipe off the troweled-on makeup and get rid of fake hair and most of them would be seen as ordinary. ---

> [@Reluctant\_A](#): > > I guess I’ll be the one: Jennifer fucking Lawrence. I came into this thread to post this. But I never knew her middle name! (Don’t get me wrong, she’s decent looking, just not nearly enough to justify her Hollywood “it girl” status. Another such actress is Kirsten Dunst.) Also, I agree with the assessments of most of the women mentioned so far, except Mila Kunis. I’ve always thought she was very cute. ---
