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.

No. But there again neither is Mick Jagger and it has never stopped either of them pulling attractive women.

Don’t you think the money has something to do with it?!?

MissAdventure Thu 18-Aug-22 12:17:35

I'm sure it has, but there are certain of the rich men that are more attractive than others, still.

beauty being in the eye of the beholder, wouldn't do if we all liked the same would it lol.
Rod has that twinkle in his eye and I like him!

We're told to love ourselves aren't we? Mind you, I know a few who have misconstrued the phrase and have taken it as 'be in love with yourself' rather than love yourself!

lemsip Thu 18-Aug-22 12:21:35

well of course the money has something to do with it and of course celeb status..... wouldn't give them a second look walking down the street I suppose.

never could stand tom jones.

MissAdventure Thu 18-Aug-22 12:22:24

Perhaps it's the confidence that is attractive.
We would historically needed a very able and confident partner, in order to successfully raise the next generation successfully.

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

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

Yes

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 !

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.

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 12:57:11

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

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!!

Kate1949 Thu 18-Aug-22 13:01:25

Yes I read that Gabrielle. Shame.

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.

Coco51 Thu 18-Aug-22 13:05:11

No

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

MissAdventure Thu 18-Aug-22 13:08:29

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

CathSoc62 Thu 18-Aug-22 13:13:26

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!!! ???

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

Ugly can be attractive in its own way.

Kate1949 Thu 18-Aug-22 13:19:48

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

knspol Thu 18-Aug-22 13:33:07

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

handbaghoarder Thu 18-Aug-22 13:41:09

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

HazelEyes Thu 18-Aug-22 13:42:02

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

polly123 Thu 18-Aug-22 13:45:16

No.
