filkertomEsquire Magazine has proclaimed Jessica Biel the sexiest woman alive.
She's not even in my top 100. Maybe not my top 500. Actually, I don't think I'd name her unless someone else brought her up.
Okay, what makes someone sexy to you? Both physical and nonphysical characteristics. In my case, physical definitely would include eyes, smile, ass, and hands, and an inclination towards physical contact (by no means limited to sexual -- that's actually a fairly small part of it); nonphysical would include caring about people more than things, brains, sense of humor, love of fantasy and movies and of course music.

What is sexy, who knows?
Date: 2005-10-07 06:31 pm (UTC)A sense of wit and intelligence that can be perceived through the eyes or gestures makes someone sexy. I think that good looks are also a factor, but while there are some people that most people think are good looking the variablity is great about who thinks who is attractive. My girlfriends and I had a discussion on LJ not too long ago about the merits of Orlando Bloom and Johnny Dep.
I also look for different things in each sex. I love a woman's breasts, but a man's rear-end and legs. These things alone don't make them sexy, but they help and these qualities have nothing to do with intelligence.
And then there is voice. I love your voice. There are also a few other men (Michael Longcor, and the lead singer for Crash Test Dummies for example) who I just melt when I hear their voices, especially when singing.
One of the sexiest men I can think of is Sean Connery (not when he was youthful, but NOW). He has the accent, the wit, the charm, the looks...

Date: 2005-10-07 06:53 pm (UTC)Yes, really. For me, characteristics i find sexy about a man include eyes, smile, hands, and an inclination towards physical contact (i'm a very touch-oriented person), caring about people more than things, brains, sense of humor, & love of fantasy, books and music. Of course, a cute butt doesn't hurt either *grin*

Date: 2005-10-08 04:01 am (UTC)Ahhh, you probably know that already.
Surprisingly, I found that it Takes Brain to Rock My World, Babe.
And a pretty high level of integrity.
You can see that stuff surfacing in the face of those jelly-boned babies getting off at the train stop near the high school.
Or not.
Doesn't even take all that long for that stuff to show in your expressions, in the wear on your face, in how you look at people.
I suspect that's what people are seeing when they like great big bear guys who just come across as heavy duty dense character stuff, solid through and through. Not the fake hysterical macho, you understand.
I'm also ridiculously fond of the little skinny leathery guys who never stop moving and never stop working and never give up and are always busy doin' for others and get bored if they're not thinkin' up new trouble to get into.

Date: 2005-10-07 08:04 pm (UTC)All of my criteria for sexiness are based on what someone's like -- how they act, how they think, how they move. Someone can be good-looking based on a still picture or their portrayal of a character, but not sexy. Since I don't watch chat shows (and, if anything, actors are phonier on those than they are when they're in character) I don't know enough about current celebrities to say.

Date: 2005-10-07 10:01 pm (UTC)And, re: Biel very specifically -- is there anyone out there who really thinks she's sexier than, for instance, Angelina Jolie? Kiera Knightley? Catherine Zeta-Jones?

Date: 2005-10-08 12:09 am (UTC)As might be apparent, I tend to prefer women who actually look like, y'know, women and not little boys. That means hips. Breasts. An ass. A stomach that looks like it's seen a meal in recent memory. But the sexiest thing of all is confidence -- another reason Latifah's musical number always makes me swoon. A sense of humor, or at least a tolerance for mine, is a plus.
(My definitely-doesn't-look-like-a-little-boy wife is reading over my shoulder and smirking.)

Date: 2005-10-08 12:16 am (UTC)And confidence is a great aphrodisiac. But that proves how good an actor she is... I saw an interview with her in which she said that she was VERY uncomfortable and nervous when they first put her in that dress. In fact, I think the quote was "Where did THOSE come from?"
And my wife (to whom I just described this exchange, and who also doesn't look like a little boy) entirely agrees with me.

Date: 2005-10-07 10:55 pm (UTC)That is a very cogent hypothesis. Considering how ridiculous product placement and payola are getting, it wouldn't surprise me if the entire article was ultimately a paid advertisement by the winners' agents.
And, re: Biel very specifically -- is there anyone out there who really thinks she's sexier than, for instance, Angelina Jolie? Kiera Knightley? Catherine Zeta-Jones?
I had to Google her to get a good idea of what she looks like. She can be very pretty in posed studio shots with her hair up; otherwise, she just looks like a typical interchangeable WB Drama chick. Certainly not the sexiest woman in Hollywood; quite possibly not the sexiest woman in Kankakee.

Date: 2005-10-07 11:23 pm (UTC)Jennifer Connelly, for instance, does a lot more for me than Jessica Biel. But then, my type tends to be curvy brunettes.
Kiera Knightly, Jenna Elfman,and Julia Stiles, however, are actresses I find attrative who don't fit that mold. And I've determined that it's because they've all got beautiful smiles. A good smile will go much further for me than nearly anything else physical.

Date: 2005-10-08 01:36 am (UTC)I thought Zeta-Jones was amazingly gorgeous in most things I've seen her in, but particularly Zorro and Intolerable Cruelty.
And utter agreement on everyone re: Queen Latifah. Mmmm.

Date: 2005-10-07 10:11 pm (UTC)Physical: Curly hair is usually present, but not always, and often it's dark brown. Arms are muscular, but not muscle-bound - the sort of muscle that comes from *using* them, especially smaller muscle groups (musicians, swordsmen, etc.) Often, but not always, my taste swings towards the stockier side.
Non-physical: lively wit, preferably without the desperate need to point out how witty he is, good manners but a joy in stepping over the line every once in awhile, a sense of integrity, a caring attitude towards his friends and/or family, a bit of showmanship but ONLY if he is able to turn off the show and just be an everyday person, a source of ideas and a willingness to go along with the ideas of others as well....
Some of this goes beyond "what makes sexy" and trails into "what I'm actually looking for".

Date: 2005-10-08 05:13 pm (UTC)She's a successful, beautiful, mid-20's, gorgeous, geeky, shapely, intelligent, healthy, sarcastic, independent woman of the 21st century
All these things make her sexy to me
Yeah, all that describes Morgan Webb. She's the one, definitive sexiness and hotness
