Men's File: Not Every Attractive Woman Turns Men On.

The ex-wife and most former girlfriends couldn't figure it out. Not every attractive woman turns me on. And, on the other hand, there are some women who aren't all that beautiful who I really enjoy looking at.

Pretty Girl but

Angelina Jolie

Sarah Jessica Parker

Minnie Driver

I'll be looking for examples of women who are not classic beauties but I rate a

When I find them I will post them here.

What are your examples?

I always found her very attractive.

Me too! But she is recognized as beautiful by everyone. This thread is not about the OBVIOUSLY attractive women who you find attractive.

It's about the women who are attractive who you find to be just, "meh."

And here's an example of a woman that, because of her hair 'style' and her political stance and activities she has become decidedly UN-attractive to millions, but who I can't stop looking at. I am just drawn to her image like a magnet.

Sinead O'Connor.

Is that a metal chain grappling her flesh?

I suppose that somewhere there is someone who finds her attractive. It's all relative to what we like.

I'm the same way. There are girls that some people think are the hottest and I'll be attracted to the odd one. I'll post some examples when I think of them.

Not me. I'm only attracted to the most beautiful, sexy, attractive women!

Doofy · Mar 3, 2006, 08:31 PM

I can't think of any at all. I'm only really attracted to classically gorgeous women.

(and I don't include the likes of Sarah Jessica Parker in that grouping).

Rumor · Mar 3, 2006, 08:56 PM

I'll give it another shot.

I am very superficial. Cheap hot bitches turn me on. In fact, I never have and hopefully will never sleep with a woman that is not equal to my beauty idol.

Can we as a society quit pretending Sarah Jessica Parker is hot. Same goes for the rest of the Sex & the City chicks. WTF?

</mild sarcasm>

My fav is...

Kristan Cunningham, HGTV

Besides the SITC girls, the one the world loves who I don't get is Tricia Helfer, Six on Battlestar Galactica.

"Our" estimation?

Somebody just clarified that his estimation runs contrary to yours, and you still talk about "our" estimation?

Hello? Matters of taste?

Oh, and I find Angelina Jolie borderline hot (not really), but I can definitely see how she'd drive somebody else crazy.

Nicko · Mar 4, 2006, 04:37 AM

I'm sorry, no real man could NOT be attracted to Angelina Jolie.

Seconded! Just because they're always talking about sex lots of people assume they're therefore good looking.

Kristen Davis ain't bad.

Queen's English.

But seriously, I switched back to talking about the rules of the thread after addressing his post. In that context who could really take offense?

THAT comment finally put things into perspective. NOW I am hot for her.

Ditto for Housewives. Although I DO like Lois Lane and the TransAmerica chick. Eva Longoria is kinda ok.

Maria Carrey is pretty, but.. meh..

Great example! Pretty girl but, meh.

DigitalEl · Mar 4, 2006, 07:34 AM

Another

for Mariah Carey. Bleh!

Ditto for Housewives.

And seconded. Another bunch who are "hot" b/c other women (i.e. real housewives) think they are. I don't know many men pining for any of them. And they need to all just go away already. Overexposed anyone!?

Here's another

from my own personal A-List.

<p i c t u r e w a s s u p p o s e d t o g o h e r e >

I looked through 9 pages of images.google.com photos and couldn't find one that made me as weak-kneed as I was for her in Serendipity.

euphras · Mar 4, 2006, 09:30 AM

One cannot argue about taste. I met the most beautiful girl just yesterday and her looks do not comply with the ^^^ in the slightest degree.

It´s all about taste...

I think the whole "hot chicks XXXX" threads are pretty useless (not this one; it´s a different approach)

SeSawaya · Mar 4, 2006, 09:50 AM

I met Mini Driver one night. Thought she was cute but not Hot. Very nice person though. We laughed, we cryed. ahhh, good times.......

You met Mini Driver... IN YOUR MIND.

Be careful to make the distinction.

Pix showing an example of your idea of a cheap hot bitch who others may not think is all that great but you just can't get enough of.

OR...

Pix of a woman everybody goes crazy over but you think is meh, bleh, or

Blimp-lipped Jolie in clothes does nothing for me. DS-lips Jolie without, does.

Mini Driver in the flesh does nothing for me. Mini Driver in the flesh with a paper bag over her head, does.

Kristen Davis on TV does nothing for me. Kristen Davis barefoot and naked with her hair just like in that photo, preparing breakfast in the nook, does.

I know. Complex, I am.

Diseased???

About as complex as Jeff Foxworthy when he says most rednecks wanna sit down with a cold beer and see somethin naked.

When it comes to a long term meaningful relationship, it isn't really the beauty. What's inside is more important, the personality.

Wise counsel, INDEED!

No, she isn't.

She's also vain to the moon and back. Amazing.

I saw unedited interview footage of her once. I was speechless.

Oh, and did you know she has a clause in every single contract that involves cameras that she will only be shot from the left, as in that pic above? It's her "good side".

Plus judging from her New Year's appearance she apparently gained a ton of weight. Not that it matters, I never cared much for her anyway cause she thinks she is so it and it shows.
