When he was younger I mean.
Although I’m sure some people still think he’s sexy grin

I can never make my mind up about him.

Not good looking in the usual sense but he definitely has a certain something.

Yes, he is also a lovely genuine person.

(disclaimer he was our friends next door neighbour in Epping & uses a pub that we frequent)

He's my hairdresser's neighbour and I agree with that - he's genuinely nice.

Well - he’s a lot better looking than Barry Manilow, and a lot worse looking than Bryan Ferry - so somewhere in the middle I’d say?

Ha ha! I agree

Brian Ferry is the only one out of those three that I would swoon over

LadyGracie Mon 15-Aug-22 21:11:53

No never, I always found him a bit creepy and a tad effeminate, dare I say?

Sago Mon 15-Aug-22 21:23:57

I’d need at least two bottles?

Callistemon21 Mon 15-Aug-22 21:27:01

No.

I must have seen him when he was one of Long John Baldry's band but never noticed him.

Who would? ?

Callistemon21 Mon 15-Aug-22 21:28:47

Ps I do like Rod.

He must have some appeal, Penny thinks so anyway.

henetha Mon 15-Aug-22 21:38:50

Not classically handsome maybe, but he has a certain appeal and suits his looks. I loved his voice for many years. He's my 4th favourite singer.

Reminds me of that old joke

Q How do you make Barry Manilow's nose a foot long?

A Fold it in half.

Not handsome, but certainly had a rugged charm.

Nannagarra Mon 15-Aug-22 22:17:50

Two bottles Sago? My friends suggest a paper bag over the head in such circumstances but I much prefer your suggestion.
?
Bryan Ferry. Now you’re talking, Grannybags.

Dizza25 Mon 15-Aug-22 22:18:26

I don’t think he’s sexy!!!!

Lexisgranny Mon 15-Aug-22 22:18:33

No!

Elizabeth27 Mon 15-Aug-22 22:25:17

I think it is his personality that makes him attractive.

If he was just a bloke on the street that you didn’t know then no, I do not think he was good looking.

Allsorts Mon 15-Aug-22 22:39:15

I did not think Rod was ever sexy or good looking, I could never see the attraction apart from the fame or money, which I wasn't interested in. Now David Essex was, way back.

SuzieHi Mon 15-Aug-22 22:43:00

No, but he’s got a glint in his eye and a personality that shines through. He puts on a good show and has the chat. That makes him attractive.

BigBertha1 Mon 15-Aug-22 22:47:06

No and he can't sing or dance either. He fooled lots of people into thinking he can though. His bank manager loved him.

Shinamae Mon 15-Aug-22 22:58:39

I have always been very attracted to Rod Stewart but then I’m also very attracted to Ronnie Wood although I don’t think he’s aging quite so well as Rod..?

Elrel Mon 15-Aug-22 23:15:43

His voice is sexy but I think I would have to see him live to decide whether he appeals to me.
One singer who impressed me as sexy in every way was Leonard Cohen. He didn't always treat women well however. I’m glad he and Marianne retained a close friendship until the ends of their lives.

Kim19 Mon 15-Aug-22 23:20:55

He certainly never did it for me

Chestnut Mon 15-Aug-22 23:51:07

I agree with the general consensus, attractive but not conventionally good looking. He definitely has a certain something. Never liked his voice but enjoy watching him perform.

Katie59 Tue 16-Aug-22 06:46:44

Men in general don’t need to be good looking, it’s all about the personality that suits “you”. Celebrities if they have a special skill or gift, like Rod Stewart or McCartney or Jagger still command audiences of thousands wether he is good looking or not

nanna8 Tue 16-Aug-22 06:54:55

I liked his voice but not his looks. I always thought he looked a bit ratty. Different people are attracted to different people and I suppose that is what makes the world go round! I used to like Warren Beatty, thought he was gorgeous back in the day.

Clawdy Tue 16-Aug-22 07:38:56

Never found him remotely attractive, and he always seemed rather full of himself and annoying.

shysal Tue 16-Aug-22 07:41:01

A 'NO' from me too! I do like his songs though.
