I have been out of town and so busy! I have missed blogging. Hope ya'll are still out there!
I have often mused over the whole phenomenom of attractiveness.--particularlly in film. There seems to be such a vast number of factors that make a leading man irresistable. Looks is only one of them--but not the main reason, really... I have listed only a few examples. Actually these guys are cute--but there are so many others who are perhaps less physically attractive who still have the same powers.
Pretty man much? Sometimes you come across a face so pretty it should not be on a dude. The kind of face that when he's playing the tough guy in a show, you cringe when he gets punched in the face. Like something that beautiful will shatter like fine china. This guy should be kept in a bullet proof safe with temperature and humidity control...sort of invokes a mothering reaction. Protect that sweet baby face!
Uhhh...stutter-stutter. Then there is the dangerous handsome. Like, I dunno, huge, sharp blades could shoot out of his fists at any moment--but somehow you still want a closer look. And you WANT to see him get punched--just to see what will happen to the poor sap who tries. Guh!
Alpha males spell protection and passion.
"Hello, ladies." Sometimes...if they are so adorable and funny that they can make you laugh that's IT. Plus, this guy is classy. (;
Rascal! Your buddy, pal, guy-next-door...sigh. With a dark side. Intriguing.
I actually find it fascinating how many different things make an actor appealing or attractive. The "Awwww" factor just as much as the kick-your-trash factor. Attractiveness can be so diverse...at least to a woman.
I'd like to hear some opinions on this...
1. Who would you add to the attractive actor list and why?
2. Is it different for men? Are inflated boobs on anorexic blondes really IT for them everytime?

Um.... Wow.
Not only is he devilishly handsome the character he portrays is ... well... an ego-centric, lying, cheating, power-driven, secretive take control kind of guy.
Not that I find these all attractive qualities, but something about the whole package drives me nuts.
If he was a neighbor on Two and a Half Men, I don't think he would have the same effect.
On a woman, I prefer cute. Cute AND hot is even better. Big fake boobs - unattractive!
So that makes me wonder if my attraction to tall dark and handsome is simply because my brain was trained to be attracted to that sort! Either way... :)
Let's see... no, I think you covered everything :)
I'd add Johnny Depp - classy with a hint of rascal and rebel. But you know he's always gonna have your back at the end of the day :)
True-- pretty boys are more for mothering...a different kind of attraction--I am more of a Hugh Jackman kinda girl.
Johnny Depp is kinda pretty but kinda rugged too.
I don't often follow the trends though--if somebody is too perfect looking, I get annoyed, and I am not a fan of overly buff--I like LEAN buff with that little muscle over the hip bone really defined, but not puffy buff with a big ol- inflated chest. your bad boy up there is pretty nice...
Thanks for the eye candy.
And, indeed, thanks for the nice shots :)
Thank you for following my blog, I now follow yours too hun!
Other than that, I agree with Johnny Depp as the mysterious man, Heath ledger as the pretty one, and Ryan Reynolds as the comedian.
Yum!
I have a thing for scary old guys. Think Jack Nicholson, Gary Oldman (who's actually not all that old). I'm not sure what that says about me as a person. :/
You said it best when you said that attractiveness can be so diverse!
Hope you have a great weekend!!
Scientists say that attractiveness is all about the correct proportions. Seriously. Our eye is pleased when the face is a certain length when compared with nose size ect. It's also why babies make us coo and are so cute. It's the way our senses interpret the proportions of a baby face. Fun topic.
