I don't thing Lisa Edelstein is a perfect "sexy-ugly", but simply a "sexy" candidate.

My husband used to have an ugly crush on Chloe from 24. She should be on the list...

And Ellen is too cute to be on here :)

For a very long time, my mother would always joke that I would rather have a long lunch with Helen Mirren than have sex with Heather Locklear. Mirren is, and has been, one of those women who is stunning, attractive, and very, very smart. She is not conventionally beautiful, but she is someone who can pull all the attention.

It took me a while to realize that most of the women I find attractive, beautiful and sexy aren't conventional. I had a crush on Hillary Clinton in the '90's and have always felt that Christina Ricci was beautiful.

Sinnerviewer, you are so right, Lisa Edelstein definitely gets some big sexy points for that scene in HOUSE. I am a huge fan of HOUSE and I remember having to pick my jaw up off the floor after that scene. There is definitely something about Lisa Edelstein that makes her different from all the other Hollywood beauties...I'm telling you it's "sexy-ugly"

Wow! I had a nice dream about Lisa Edelstein last night. She isn't sexy-ugly. She's sexy-HAWT! I was telling my girlfriend today that i think I want to trade my current "freebie", Andie MacDowell, for Lisa Edelstein. Especially after watching this:

2008-08-21T17:22:10.108-07:00

Regarding men placing more emphasis on looks: It really depends on the situation. For a short term partner, then yes, looks are much more important than other qualities. For long term partners I'd say that looks are about equal with other qualities, but looks are easier to judge. I can tell very quickly if I'm physically attracted to a woman.

As far as polling men on who they find attractive, it depends on how you phrase it. If you ask them if these women are attractive, then yeah, you're going to hear "no" more than "yes", because they'll be judged as celebrities. If you ask "are you attracted to these women?" I think you'd start to see the answers shift toward yes. And if you simply asked "would you hit it?" I think the results would be heavily in the affirmative.

I meant what the media says both men and women find attractive and I agree with you, the media has a very narrow definition of "attractive" and I also agree that men have broader tastes, although from my own personal observations, men tend to place more emphasis on looks/physical beauty than other aspects, when looking for a partner.

And it is interesting that you find these women sexy in a typical way because I think if you polled most men, they would disagree with you and call them ugly. For example, the fact that that Maxim named Sarah Jessica Parker the Unsexiest Woman Alive just baffles me.

2008-08-21T16:15:11.158-07:00

Well, I guess it depends on what you mean by "societal norms". Is it what men acctually find attractive, or what the media says men are supposed to find attractive?

I feel that the problem is that the media has a very narrow definition of "attractive", but most men have much broader tastes.

And when I say half these women are sexy, I mean in a typical, shallow, looks only kind of way.

2008-08-21T15:25:30.443-07:00

Chris, the definition of "sexy-ugly" is just that: someone who is not conventionally good-looking, but possesses an appealing personality, style, or talent, and is thus considered sexually attractive by many.

The bottom line is that the women on this list are not considered to be conventionally sexy by societal norms.

You know, as a man, I'm kind of annoyed when women talk about men's sexuality as if they understand it any better than men understand women's sexuality. Half the women on this list are just plain physically sexy, not sexy-ugly.

Very thorough reporting. It shows how ingrained our narrow conceptions of "beauty" are when even these gorgeous women listed still don't make the cut into normative conceptions of marketable beauty. Thanks for bringing this topic up!

Typical response from a typical guy. Did you actually READ the article or did you just scroll down and look at the pictures?

If I was a dyke, I'd be pissed. Scarah Jessica Barker, Hellary Clit-non, Sandra Burnhard(on) and on, are foul humans. And a naked Kathy Bates is stunning? If this is evolved, I guess I'm a Cro-mag.
