It's perfectly normal to not find someone attractive physically even if ..GASP.. they have a good personality.
I'm absolutely drawn to good looks...but we were talking about celebrities and I guess I just go by the kinds of roles they play (I don't know anyone personally) by the sort of personality they have. I can make a lot of guesses as to how I think they are.

You're right though...if I were to walk into a party of strangers, I would notice looks first...but I have to say...that little smile or smirk on someone that may not have those classic features WOULD be something I'd notice. I couldn't know their personality on first glance...I combined two different scenarios so good point.

But your point about "not being superficial"...that may be true for some women, but I can assure you that it doesn't really apply in my case. No, I don't want to be that way and normally, I would say, I'm not superficial. I DO look at all kinds of qualities before I make a judgement about someone's attractiveness. ANd then there are those guys who I find sexy/yummy/hot on the spot...like Chad from my sophomore year of college. I had no idea if he was smart or funny...he was flat out hot...I didn't care about anything else. So...is that superficial enough to satisfy you?

Sorry ladies - he has a wicked sense of humor, can cook, loves cats, never forgets to flatter, can fix anything and has a cute xyz in jeans with high heel Western boots, picks up a glance or two. What more should I look for?

Patrick Swayzs had something about him.

I am personally a huge fan of Kevin James; I do have a crush on him. He is overweight and not the best looking but he is extremely funny and charming. Looks aren't always all that matters; sometimes a guy might not be the best looking but have something about him that makes him attractive.

What is appealing onscreen and in photographs is different from IRL, as well. And I fully admit that some male actors who I am not impressed by onscreen would probably knock my socks off if I met them in the bar.

Ah, I would think that the answer to your question would be rather self-evident. Heterosexual men, and many gay men for that matter, just don't have the same biological lenses for evaluating the "attractiveness" of other men that women have.

Women aren't as visual: a sense of humor, an air of confidence, power, a cute grin, talent, sophistication - to name just a few characteristics - can all trump looks.

Agree. He had a flirtatious, seductive, knowing "Rebel Without A Cause" kind of vibe..."I'm a bad boy, do you want to be a bad girl, at least for a little while?"

He was attractive. He wasn't classicly handsome, but definitely an attraction.

I like Kevin James' "guy's guy" appeal. Good boyfriend material. If a woman knows how to work with him, could possibly turn him in to husband material...

Oh wait, I think he was on a TV show where a woman tried that with him! See, casting office? Listen to the viewers! They KNOW!
