Who the heck Shemar? He's not bad looking, but doesn't do it for me. I think he'd be popular with the P-town crowd.

Now Lenny K., those pictures were worth the click.

I like that the supposed Ben Affleck link was actually to Lenny again. Because, really, who would rather see Affleck than Lenny?

Still no.

Brad Pitt? Seriously? The guy has the worst skin.

I have come up with one -- that Josh Duhamel is cute.

Still he's an actor, which automatically diminishes his appeal in my eyes.

it may be that my avatar has caused you to set your standards too high IRL. If you'd like I will change to someone less attractive.

[Sigh] Too true. [/Sigh] You don't happen to have a twin in the Boston area do you?

So I take it you are not in the club that gives points for humor? Jon Stewart will be devastated.

I give mad points for personality, which is why actors (too narcissistic) and musicians (too geeky)* are always diminished in my eyes, no matter how pretty the package.

NFH, the big nameless Shemar project was Soul Train where he couldn't pull off heterosexual convincingly while dancing with the scantily clad women on the show.

*You know I love you, musicians, but the geekiness does not add to the sex appeal.

I've been sitting here trying to think of a famous (non-athlete) man I think is truly laminated-list hot and I am at a loss.

I just cannot come up with anyone.

Jude Law. Viggo Mortensen. Although I wasn't nuts for Viggo's clean-cut Vanity Fair spread or the soldier crispness in GI Jane--he's one of those guys who always looks better scruffy.

So don't most athletes suffer from narcissism? And most of the time w/out the personality/imagination of a good actor?

The college football players I knew couldn't count to 10, but they all thought they were hot shit.

I'm not a very good musician. Does it still count?

Viggo looks way better in LOTR than with the haircut, which made him look old.
Jude Law, just for you.


And Viggo.

I've had a couple, and one was fixable and one wasn't.

The fixable one didn't use any tongue, but did open his mouth, so it was a little like kissing a bottomless pit. He said well, he didn't want to just stick his tongue down my throat. I explained that the point of kissing was to get as much skin contact as possible in these sensitive areas. I didn't want him to stick his tongue down my throat, but I wanted more contact. A little theory and some teaching by example, and he made a miraculous improvement almost instantly.

The non-fixable one came before the fixable one, so I didn't know what would work to change it. He kissed a lot like your guy, only without the lip-licking. Yes, all tongue all the time. I never really tried to fix it, and that was one of the reasons I didn't marry him.

PS Am I really smug? Shoot, I try not to be. I didn't get married until I was 29, and I never thought of marriage as inevitable.

Careful, both Ty and Thurgreed were college athletes.

29? Phew! Just under the wire. Will Sequels be so lucky?

Thanks.

Any guy who can manage to look halfway sexy posing with a duck is not to be taken lightly.

Neither played football. And I don't know any arrogant* DII athletes, NTTAWWT.

*arrogant in the "I'm god's gift to sport" way. Not general arrogance. Thurgreed is clearly generally arrogant.

It's much easier when you assume any public figure's 'personality' is all publicists' spin, and just look at them strictly as eye candy.

Though it does always seem like athletes are too busy admiring their own bods to even notice what anyone else thinks. And when you consider the number of say, football and baseball players who clearly spend too much time communing with Twinkies, this becomes both irritating and ludicrous.

I have friends who are professional athletes, actors, and musicians and I still think the athletes are hotter when personality is factored in.

Edited to remove annoying detail. Suffice to say, I think I have seen too much.
