Our oldest son, Jason, has been described by some of his wife’s friends as “gorgeous”. He did some modeling for a local clothing store when he was in college a decade ago.
Jason’s younger brother’s wife, Britni, is probably the most classically beautiful woman in our family. Heads turn whenever she walks through a restaurant.
I sing in our local Gay Men’s Chorus. There have always been a certain percentage of hot guys in the group, but there is one who is one of the most gorgeous men I’ve ever seen. When I look at him (every chance I get) I see nothing less than absolute perfection. And what’s wonderful is that he’s just as beautiful on the inside as the outside.
All things considered, physical looks, personality, intelleigence – my daughter. She looks a lot like Gwyneth Paltrow – with these amazing grey eyes that change with her mood and clothing. She’s stunning.
Only considering looks – this guy I dated briefly named Dustin. He was just beautiful. I mean, take-your-breath-away, make-all-the-guys-question-their-heterosexuality, strangers-would-stop-and-stare beautiful. To be honest, he is probably the only guy I have ever dated that I almost felt ugly next to – although he also had this wonderful personality that didn’t allow me to be self-concious.
I tell people I’m man-pretty, but in reality, I’m nothing compared to a friend of mine from college. Played just the right amount of rugby, still has most of his hair, great smile. For my female friends, it’s definitely my SIL. Or my friend’s sister. One of those two. One is perky, blonde, smart, nice body. The other is sultry, curvy, great hair, beautiful voice…
One of my nieces made it to third runner-up at Miss America, and she is considered the least attractive (physically) of my sister’s three daughters. Everyone else in the families on both sides range from sorta-pretty to downright baggable, so I don’t know where they get it.
Heh. This is not an unusual reaction with guys. Welcome to our world. 
A nurse I used to work with was amazingly good looking. Most people compared her to Jennifer Lopez but I thought she looked more like Cindy Crawford.
I went to school with an amazing looking girl: 6’4", trim, translucent white skin, copper hair, and yellow eyes.
She was also sweet and genuinely nice as well. I always called her “my friend I wish I could hate but I can’t.”
I don’t really know him anymore, but I went to high school with a guy that I thought was moderately attractive…I didn’t run with his crowd, but he was a drama geek like me and rumors swirled around that he was gay (I’m female). Back then being gay in high school was fairly verboten, and he was pretty upset about the whole thing, or so the rumor went.
Anyway, flash forward about twenty years. I was Googling old high school acquaintances one day and I came across his web page. It turns out that he is gay…and he’s one of the most drop-dead gorgeous guys I’ve ever seen in my life. Black hair, pale gray eyes, tanned skin, bright white teeth, fantastic body–it’s obvious that he spent a lot of time working on himself over the years, and the picture on his site was clearly a professional photograph. I showed him to my spouse who thought he looked too much like a gigolo, but aesthetically I tend to go for the androgynous dark-haired European look, so he was right up my alley.
Aside from him, my other choice would be the former CEO of a company I used to work for. Extremely nice guy, with dark hair, sort of an elfin-handsome face, great build, great dresser. I had a little nonsexual crush on him the whole time I worked for that company, I must admit. I also thought he was gay, but found out my gaydar is busted (again) when he got married a couple of years ago.
A friend of mine is the son of a very handsome movie star. Is that cheating?
I felt like a bump here. I read all of these responses, and all I could think about was how odd I must be. I know some people that I consider beautiful, but almost all of the people I know who would be considered beautiful by regular standards, I have no attraction to.
All of the people that I’ve fallen stupid in love with over my life have something about them, but there’s always something else that makes them a little off by regular standards.
My husband is beautiful in every way. But he thinks he carries too much weight. He does, but it isn’t what I see. I have friends that I consider beautiful, but there’s always something just a little off.
I guess by “regular standards” I only know one guy, and he’s so vapid most of the time that I just…well, given the chance, I would never be attracted to him. It’s the weirdest thing. I get so attracted to one or two things, but never the whole package. And by attracted to one or two things, I mean, kady bar the doors, me lads. All bets are off attracted. I’m a sucker.
Hmm, the link I get is to a headshot of a guy in a blindfold being attacked by little creatures. Wrong pic?
I am surrounded by beautiful people of every shape and color. I wish I could say I was overly generous in my definition of ‘beautiful,’ but I’m not. Oddly enough, the models I know tend to be on the plain side, in person. But the boys and girls they hang around with… breathtaking. Something about 20- and 30-somethings who dress well but don’t try too hard, that and having multiple ethnic backgrounds. Sometimes I jokingly recite the infamous bit from From Dusk 'Til Dawn (though I usually replace ‘pussy’ with ‘ladies’). Occasionally it hurts the ego, but it’s easy to get used to until I venture out into the ‘real world.’
