Someone’s already mentioned Jennifer Garner, but I’m here to add Gwyneth Paltrow, and both for the same reason: **Scary, boxy, gigantic MAN-JAW**! Horrible, square jawlines that make them both seem to have men’s heads placed on their necks. ---

In addition to a number of celebs named above: Jennifer Lopez. Sure, she’s pretty in a nondescript way, but I don’t find her the least bit attractive. ---

I’ll second/third/whatever Cameron Diaz (good-looking, but not _that_ good-looking), Paris Hilton (freakshow) and Gwyneth Paltrow. I’d like to add Fairuza Balk. Most of my friends go apeshit over her. I think she’s decidedly below average. Sarah Michelle Gellar. I mean, come on. I pass better looking women in the street several times a day. She’s nothing special. ---

Jennifer Garner has huge gigantic ears. Set too high on her skull. I’ve never seen her show, but I saw her once on some awards show with her hair pulled back, and I was like “holy shmoly! Look at those ears!” Every since then, whenever I’ve seen her, all I’ve seen is the ears. Even if her hair is down, I know the ears are in there, lurking, waiting, wanting to pop out. I never notice anyone else’s ears. Well, except for Mel Gibson. I never did find him attractive at all, and his big floppy ears are part of the un-attraction. ---

Im in complete agreement on Penelope Cruze and Hale Berry. They do absolutely nothing for me. Not to say they couldnt do anything for me. Im holding out for Charlize Theron…she just about the perfect woman. I even held out on seeing Monster because I heard they made her look horrible. I finally saw it…she looked horrible. Its whats on the inside that counts! Ohhh…the inside was horrible too. Can we just pretend that movie doesnt exist? ---

Said it in the other thread…Jessica Alba, yummy, nice lips, nice bod, though the blonde look - not so good Uma Thurman, looked great in Kill Bill I’ve always had a thing for Sandra Bullock and yeah Angelina Jolie yummy Of the 2 heiresses, I’d be picking Nicole Richie lol Ms Hilton -mutton dressed up as lamb… ---

Sarah Jessica Parker was hot looking in Flight of the Navigator and LA Story? (Steve Martin film) She also had mucho geek appeal as a teen in Square Pegs. {I am her age} I get Paris, some people love the Slut look and act and reality, but she does not have a cute face or a nice body. Bit too lean and mean. Personnality is complete turn off to me. ---

Johnny Depp. He looks like a sickly adolescent girl. Matt Damon and his clone whatsisname. They were fallen angels in Dogma. I saw ten better-looking guys than that while driving to work this morning. ---

Amanda Plummer is the least attractive of the three mentioned here. Lili Taylor has her moments, but she strikes me as someone who doesn’t give a shit (and it shows). Brittney Spears is entirely overrates, face-wise, but she’s got a great body. Wonder what that C-section is going to do for her wardrobe choices! ---

> [@jrfranchi](#): > > On the other hand, Brittney Spears is sexy but not really pretty to me. I have to disagree. Britney has tried very hard to be sexy but she has mostly failed. Sure the parts all look nice but somehow she lacks the inner quality that makes someone truly sexy. Take a look at the video for that slave song, whatever it’s called, Slave for U? Slave to Lust? Skimpily clad girl with fairly nice assets? Check! Dancing? Check Sweaty? Check!. Lyrics about lust etc? Check! But is it hot and sexy? No! Other women that are supposedly beautiful but really aren’t (all mentioned earlier): Julia Roberts - Why on earth is she considered to be very beautiful? Why?? Cameron Diaz - She’s kinda weird. SOmetimes she’s very hot and at other times she just looks strange. Paris Hilton - What everyone else said. There must be lots of people with bad taste outside the Dope. Sarah Jessica Parker - She can look sexy at times but I wouldn’t call her classically beautiful and please someone make her get rid of that thing on her face. ---

Cameron Diaz has never looked more beautiful or sexy than in her very first movie role, _The Mask_, in 1994 or '95 (I forget which). She was an absolute stunner there, a bombshell. Ever since then, I don’t think she has ever looked as great, and not because of natural aging either. I like her because she’s tall and blonde and pretty but isn’t afraid to laugh or do goofy comedy or mock her image – and she’s a very decent actress too. But she’s not as hot as many people say, except for that one role. Wow. ---

First off, let me say that in my single days, there are only 2 or 3 girls listed in this thread whom I would have turned away (Mimi, from _Drew Carey_, and the woman in **Spiff** ’s link, for sure). Now, in a perfect world where I get to pick and choose, then I could get picky. The hordes of too skinny, too much makeup, scientifically endowed women who make up the supposed beauties of today are ALL disqualified. Give me **Barbara Eden** of _I Dream of Jeannie_ (especially when she played the evil sister - I prefer brunettes). Give me **MaryAnne** or _Gilligan’s Island_. I’ll take a dozen **Elizabeth Taylor** ’s from _Cleopatra_. These women had bodies. They had true curves. They didn’t look like they would break if I looked at them too hard. ---
