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.

Charm yes
Neil Diamond?

I always thought his nose spoiled his looks- rest of him wasnt too bad i guess.He had charisma but like a rough diamond- His voice was great but is not as good now hes older though.hmm

Rod the Mod! Wouldn't class him as good-looking but can see the attraction.

kjmpde Thu 18-Aug-22 14:20:12

allegedly Boris is attractive and sexy - I can't see it. Neither can I see it in Rod Stewart or many of the men that are supposed to be sexy such as Brad Pitt. I know I prefer dark hair and or dark men and maybe it is a blond thing I don't like?

No. He looks like a weasel!

I don't think so. Never have. Would never go to his concerts or buy a record but I don't mind if he comes on the radio. The same could be said for The Stones and Oasis. I do agree that we all like/attracted to different people/things. What a boring world it would be if we were all the same

No.

Of course not! He is not handsome but he is stylish, not ugly, possibly sexy, rich and successful.

As others have said, not good looking as such, but theres a certain something about him. I’ve always felt bit the same way about Mick Hucknall. IMO not good looking in the conventional way but seeing him live a few years ago he definitely had “ it”. His clothes, his moves, his general demeanour and that voice added up to a definite je ne sais quoi

Definitely not good looking imo. Nowadays a quick glance at photos of him and I always think he looks like an old woman.

Although personally I would never refer to anyone as ugly. Let's say quirky or not conventionally good looking.

Kate1949 Thu 18-Aug-22 13:18:33

Ugly can be attractive in its own way.

Gosh yes ! I started university in October 1971 ( OMG ?) just as Maggie May was No 1, and then I had a boyfriend who loved the song too ( but then dumped me after writing that the words ‘ Madame Onassis got nothing on you ‘ ( from the Every Picture tells a Story LP ? ) could have been written just for me .
So, in my 2nd year at Uni in my Hall of Residence I had a HUGE poster of Rod Stewart wearing a pink satin suit on my wall ! It was the era of glam rock though really , cos I always loved Marc Bolan too ! It’s funny if you watch an early interview between Russell Harty and Rod Stewart though, cos RS looks so ‘ camp ‘ but is clearly a ‘ right goer ‘ with the women, whereas RH is the one who turned out to be gay ! I’ve found it funny in life that some of the ‘ manliest looking ‘ men have turned out to be gay, whereas some men who have style but dress rather alternatively and might be considered ‘ camp ‘ are ‘ raging ‘ heterosexuals!!! ???

I think Mick just oozed sex, frankly, when he was young.
A bit like Prince!

MissAdventure I find Mick Jagger really ugly. He wasn’t when he was young though, although there was a time when he suddenly changed from being quite attractive to being ugly in a short space of time and I think it was to do with drugs. If you look up photos of him you’ll see what I mean. I couldn’t believe he changed so much in such a short time.

But then none of them had faces you’d want to hang on your wall…

No

Yes I read that Gabrielle. Shame.

At the Jubilee he has just recovered from Covid but performed as he didn't want to let people down. I didn't think he gave a bad performance. He said they insisted he sang Sweet Caroline I think it was. People were grumbling that he didn't do one of his own songs.

So was he! Made it crystal clear he was "forced " to sing it!!

Gabrielle56 Thu 18-Aug-22 12:57:11

Have you met him? I have and wowsers !! Is he sexy....just standing doing not a lot and I was smitten!

Gabrielle56 Thu 18-Aug-22 12:55:58

Nope! Charismatic personality and sex appeal. I've had frankly quirky and "hard -man" looking boyfriends in past but they all had sex appeal and magnetic personalities. And we're all absolute kittens! Surprised my parents in some cases as to how loveable they were! All were very close to their mum too!!

Gabrielle56 Thu 18-Aug-22 12:52:03

It's got absolutely nothing to do with good looks in case of Rod, he has sex appeal.

Coconut Thu 18-Aug-22 12:33:55

No …. Even when he was young I’d rather listen to him that watch him …. But it’s good thing that we all fancy different people !

Doglessfornow Thu 18-Aug-22 12:26:00

Yes

MissAdventure Thu 18-Aug-22 12:23:39

Oh dear.
I think I'm losing it. sad
