I saw this commercial before, but never noticed the guy at all. After reading this thread, I thought maybe I’d missed something, but no–he has absolutely no appeal to this gay guy at all. Really just your average looking guy. I really don’t know what the others in this thread find so attractive about him–is it his strong, “bad boy” vibe and thug-like macho posturing? Or would you really find him attractive in just a headshot photo? Unfortunately, \*\*VarlosZ \*\*, I don’t think there is anything about him that you could copy, or that women in the real world would actually like about copying his behaviors.

According to a poll, 100% of gay guys surveyed said he was hot and would not be kicked out of bed.

(the poll sample size was me) 😉

Is it sad that I keep checking this thread to see if someone has come up with the name of my television commercial boyfriend?

I think I noticed something helpful I could copy. I could dye my hair, wear a stubble, and , most importantly, have plastic surgery to triple the size of my chin. Girls do seem to like the prominent chin.
