HaloNoble6 Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 His hair is his biggest downfall, ...I'm going to have to agree with you, but who would you suggest as new Bond? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RationalBiker Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Hmm, not my idea of a good Bond either. I'm still pretty much in the minority for liking Timothy Dalton as Bond though. I wonder if Christian Bale was ever a consideration? Probably not. Who could be Batman AND Bond at the same time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravane Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 (edited) I really find Adrien Brody attractive. Not sure about his personality. He was damn good in The Jacket. I guess I have a thing for guys with messed up noses. I also like guys to be tall, lean, and classy looking. He just seems to ooze this air of confidence. http://i.cnn.net/cnn/SPECIALS/2003/oscars/...drien.brody.jpg http://www.threemoviebuffs.com/miscreview/pianist1.jpg I also really liked Val Kilmer in the Salton Sea. Again, confidence is key. http://us.movies1.yimg.com/movies.yahoo.co...mer/salton3.jpg And finally (for now), Christian Bale. He looks so intense. http://www.filmweb.no/bilder/multimedia/ar..._Ame_87936o.jpg http://webfantasy.info/Images/Webrings/rin...istian_Bale.jpg Appearance does matter to me, to a degree. I also like guys who are good at a lot of things, a kind of "self mad man"? But returning to my previous point. I like dark haired, lean, lightly muscled guys. I like tall men with crooked smiles and an arrogant demeanor. Edited December 21, 2005 by Ravane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovenstein Posted December 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 I like dark haired, lean, lightly muscled guys. I like tall men with crooked smiles and an arrogant demeanor. Do you consider 5'10" tall? If so, would you consider a move to Nebraska? If not, what if I wore stilts or platforms? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravane Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Do you consider 5'10" tall? If so, would you consider a move to Nebraska? If not, what if I wore stilts or platforms? Platforms? Only if you looked like this guy. Now THAT'S classy. But seriously- by tall I meant, "taller than me", and I'm 5'9". You picture on the "Show Your Face" forum reminds me of the guys from The Mars Volta. /offtopic You know, the Woman thread went on an asian fling, but so far this thread has been immune. It's time to remedy that. First up is Gackt. If I ever wanted to date a guy who was prettier than me, this would be it. It's really almost disturbing. Okay...so that's really the only one I can think of right now...so... How about some Brits? I have to admit, before the haircut and the handle bar mustache, Freddie Mercury would go on my list. I really like the way he looks in the Bohemian Rhaposdy music video, though he's bit...effiminate...for my taste. I like his jaw and his nose. http://members.tripod.com/lsband/art/freddie.jpg And my personal favorite- David Bowie. I've liked him since I was seven. Too much Labyrinth, I think. I like his bony facial structure, and his eyes. His features are kind of hawkish. http://www.rattlebeak.com/images/content/b...sy-presskit.jpg http://www.rattlebeak.com/images/content/b...yandsonface.jpg .. So maybe I have a thing for vocalists. Well, not maybe. In light of that... I really liked the lead singer for The Decemberists. He was very witty, talented, and had very nice teeth. And pretty eyes. http://www.majorityreportradio.com/weblog/...ecemberists.jpg Can't think of any more right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a straight male, I find Adrien Brody attractive in that manly sense. I hope you guys know what I'm talking about. It's like, he's what I think a man should look like. He does seem to "ooze this air of confidence". I really liked him in The Pianist. Zak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravane Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 (edited) As a straight female... As opposed to...? I don't think anyone's professed to be otherwise that I've seen. You can keep the girly, artsy, pretty boys. I will. ... or Mel Gibson in his "Braveheart" role... I just prefer men who look like they...bathe? Often. I prefer men with firm, square jawlines, dark hair, and high cheekbones. I like mine to have a moontan. And no one can beat, for sheer class, Cary Grant. Or for eyebrow hair per square inch. This is all in good humor of course. On a more serious note though, I don't like Viggo, he's too apologetic. Saw him in a interview and it really ruined it for me. And I never liked Mel Gibson for the same reasons. I'm not familliar with Daniel Day-Lewis, but he's not bad looking. I prefer more sharp features though. Another attractive thing about men is their voices. David Bowie has a beautiful speaking voice. You might forego his looks for that. And I really like the way he laughs. It's genuine and arrogant at the same time.

Sebastián Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 (edited) I second Cary Grant: He has a very angular face, and body. I love everything about him, I think he's one of the most handsome men to have ever set foot on this earth. He had a magnificient way of moving and talking, he was very funny but he was also very reserved. He was like an average man, but he had an air of aristocracy. He always looked perfect. I can't pick any feature in particular, I think everything about him added up to one indivisible whole, a complete projection of: MAN. While I'm at it, I'll cast my vote for Ingrid Bergman as one of the most beautiful women ever (she's up there in the pic with Cary, if you don't know). But here it's different, what I like about her most is her smile, it just doesn't get better than that. She was a relatively large woman, so physically I'm not too attracted to her. I just think she has the most beautiful smile I have ever seen. Other classic actors worth mention: Errol Flynn, Humphrey Bogart, Robert Mitchum. Oh, and then there's Marcello Mastroianni(also on my avatar): Recent actors: Ralph Fiennes, Gary Oldman.

Sherry Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 Chris Noth has an elegance to him, I think like heros from the 50s did, like Cary Grant. It didn't see it so much in Law & Order, but definately in Sex & The City. I am married to the most handsomest man alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfa Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 I think Frank Zane had the perfect physique, and even though he is rather short he could carry himself like noone else. http://athlete.ru/fotos/profi/frank_zane/frank_zane_035.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ifat Glassman Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 I was going to reply to the “Woman Thread,” but I couldn’t think of any women that I find especially attractive. Several men did come to mind though. (I’m not even going to bother trying to psychoanalyze that one) Lol!! I have the exact same thing only with women. I can find many women beautiful, but for me to find a guy beautiful takes a lot more. I guess the reason is that for me man's physical beauty comes from their character (as expressed in their face and body) while with women I can easily make a separation between (what I call) "physical beauty" and "beauty of character". A woman can be gorgeous without having any expression that indicates some heroism, but a man can't, for me. Disclaimer: a man can have a beautiful (from the type of "physical beauty") body and to some extent a face as well, but it's very unlikely for me. But Johnny Depp is one of those exceptions: Johnny Depp 1 Johnny Depp 2 Johnny Depp 2 I had a hard time finding pictures of him that showed his pretty face without having a second-handish expression ruin them. What I like about his face is a certain "quietness" they project. This sort of serenity, that he doesn't have to say much to express a lot. I like how his cheeks are sort of "sucked in" a bit, emphasizing his cheek-bones. For me it is a feature of an introverted guy with (having problems finding the words here) self-discipline. I like how his eyebrows have a distinct shape. Not too much of a strong charater there, but still I like the features of his face. Another face I like is Christofer Walken's. Now this dude's got some strong presence. There is something about his face that almost looks evil, but just almost. Anyway, it's the most interesting face I've ever seen. Christofer Walken 1 Christofer Walken 2 Christofer Walken 3 Christofer Walken 4 Christofer Walken 5 In the last picture, he seems to demonstrate (by the lines around his mouth) a description of Roark as a man who seldom smiles and who has a certain contempt in his expression. I think this image captures it. I would cast him Gail Wynand without hesitations. That's it for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JASKN Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 I decided that The Man Thread has been grossly neglected! So, I found and put together some of my favorite men, past and present (past being less than a decade... the fashion world moves at lightning speed), for your viewing pleasure. All of them are male models. Though I find some male actors attractive, they just can't compete with the models. Now, my own primary interest is in the men, but I'm guessing that there is a greater interest from the forum generally in women. As such, I have posted three of my favorite women over at The Woman Thread. Enjoy! First, like Cindy Crawford, a face that is perfect at every angle: Julien Hedquist New face, Travis Davenport Relative unknown Patrick Conboy Simon Nessman Caleb Lane For some reason one of my favorites, Arthur Kulkov Four miscellaneous but gorgeous And finally a classic face (a la Abercrombie marketing), Jacques Naude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinDW78 Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 (edited) I agree with Jaskn that models are at the top. But I'll show one of my own models. His name is Aaron and I saw him at the gym one night and just walked up to him and asked him if he would like to model for me.

JMartins Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Ciaran Hinds has the perfect "Objectivist appearance" if you ask me. He's tall and gaunt, with prominent facial features, a very noble bearing and a commanding voice -- something that he has in common with the Objectivist characters described in Atlas Shrugged.

Summer Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 I, personally, am not attractive and I don't expect people to pretend that I am (in fact it irritates the crap out of me when they do), I just like them to acknowledge that I still have value because the purpose I serve in their life is not primarily to be ornamental. I think this is a very powerful statement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boydstun Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 Yes, quite neat. One sympathetic character in The Fountainhead is Toohey’s aunt. “She was a tall, capable woman to whom the word horse clung in conjunction with the words sense and face.” She is endowed with goodness and is not fooled by the public deceits of the youth Ellsworth, whom she calls Elsie. “‘You’re a maggot, Elsie,’ she once told him. ‘You feed on sores’. ‘Then I’ll never starve,’ he answered” (317, first edition).

freedombreeze Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Gary Cooper... not particularly in The Fountainhead but as he became more rugged with age ..in Westerns... and the guy I think should have played Francisco d'Anconia in A$. . . Antonio Banderas Both of these men ooze self confidence by their seemingly cool indifference to the opinions of others. . . both are very easy on the eyes and both have gorgeous eyes.
