Heartthrobs You Don't Get

Rest assured, I have no hard feelings against ANYONE who doesn't get Ewan. Different strokes for different folks and all. It just means more Ewan for ME!

Ahem...I assume that by "Me" you mean me! ;D

Surprisingly, I don't always find Ewan hot either. He just seems like such an amiable lad that I imagine he would be great fun to chat with (followed by a sweet little snogging session). But Curt Wild? Was hot!

I don't get Peter Saarsgard, Jake Gyllenhaal, Michael Vartan.

I cannot look directly at Elijah Wood. He creeps me out. I don't understand what is so attractive about the guy.

My feelings exactly. He is just so ooky.

Brad Pitt just looks blah to me. He's like some computer's rendering of what women are attracted to: I know I should probably find him pretty, as he has all the right features to be considered pretty, but he's just not that hot.

Totally. He's too something[/color] or a bunch of somethings -- too chiseled, too feminine, too beady-eyed, too Cro-Magnon. I can acknowledge that he is what many think of as "hot" "handsome" or "sexy" but he just doesn't do it for me. When Thelma & Louise came out, every girl I knew was totally hot for him, and I verbally played along, but really I was thinking I'd sooner take the detective played by Harvey Keitel.

I like Elijiah Wood, but I cannot lust after him, because I always remember him as that adorable, sweet little boy in Radio Flyer and he was just such a little cutie that I feel like a pervert, even though I'm only three years older than him.

Not heartthrobs per se, but I don't get why people consider Billy Bob Thorton or Bruce Willis sexy. Especially Billy Bob-he creeps me out.

Jude Law- Seriously WTF? He looks incredibly whimpy, and yet he manages to look like Stewy from Family Guy.

He was the first and only guy that came to mind.

I do find Dermot Mulroney attractive. Attractive and sexy.

He was the one who was in My Best Friend's Wedding, right? And NOT the guy from the Practice?

[indygirl]

Right! Dylan McDermott starred on The Practice.

[susyhomewrecker]

Thanks indygirl! I have McDermott/Mulroney issues.

Justin Timberlake.

I often hear one of his songs and think it is a girl singing.
He appeared in public with Britney Spears wearing matching denim outfits.
He called his Mom and cried when Ashton Kutcher Punk'd him. I like my men to be more manly than Ashton Freakin' Kutcher.

Ewan McGregor - I do not see the pretty, in fact I think he's quite ugly.
Cillian Murphy - He looks insane, like serial killer insane.
Jake Gyllenhall - He is fugly, but I kinda understand the appeal, he is quite charming and funny, but seriosly the man is just not attractive.
Ethan Hawke - There cannot be a sane person who finds this man hot, I could maybe understand it back in the day, but now the man is fugly.
Colin Farell - Someone in this thread described him as a walking open wound, that is the perfect description of him
Josh Hartnett - One word: unibrow
David Beckham - The stupid..... it hurts
Terrence Howard - This man is just icky. Plus he has the crazy gene, I can see it it's in the eyes

That's all I got for now.

Omigod yes, Terrence Howard. God that man is not good looking at all or in the least. At best homes can look very scary/menacing but that's about it. There's no sexy whatsoever IMO.

And carrying on with the vein of the light-skinned brothers with the light eyes, I don't get any kind of hotness coming off Michael Ealy. He seems like a sweet guy. But that mandible! His jaw is freaky...and it pulses.

Jonathan Rhys Meyers has a terminal case of the fuglies. Damn! Some people think that mess is cute? The mind boggles.

And I second Mark Ruffulo. He's one damn hairy mess. Ew! How is he attractive?

Someone mentioned P.Diddy. That mouthbreather and his dolphin teeth made it to "heartthrob" status. Wow.

And can I throw in

Jamie Foxx Ew!
Kanye West Double ew!
Pharelle Williams Another turtle looking mofo
Sean Connery Sorry I just don't get the appeal of this man
Johnny Depp Yes I know I'm going to hell but I must speak the truth...I never saw anything in him..the whole world seems to see whatever it is but I've tried and I can't figure it out
Peter Saarsgaard Sorry dude. You're not hot.
Joaquin Phoenix I really love him...but dude looks creepy

As for the equal representation if we are going that route, females I really don't get are

Paris Hilton (she brings a skanky fugliness like no other)
Mischa Barton (barf...and I've taken to calling her Mischa Barfton)
Rachel Bilson (she's cute but I don't get how she's supposedly so hot)
Jessica Simpson (she looks just like her crazy daddy..only with boobs)
Katie Holmes (oh that melty face..and I saw it even when she was on DC and before she hooked up with Captain Crazy...her face ain't right)
Tara Reid (I'm talking before her problems and the bad boob job and the wonky abs made an appearance...when she came out on American Pie I didn't get what all the fuss was about)
