i have a friend who is fascinated with his body as it was in the movie troy - but he had this strange orange colour to him and his hair was curled and odd and.....and.....and.....and actually, the acting was really bad - he's done better than that - but as she says - who was watching his acting. sure, he's a great looking guy for his age - but he's not all that and then some.

Maybe it is that he has a soft and feminine look to his face, gentle. And his face is proportionate: that's good looks isn't it?

However, the blonde pretty-boy look really isn't my gig. So much so, that my husband has black hair, and facial scarring. Oh, and he isn't going to tag along all over the world on my latest whim without question. Not that Brad does necessarily, it just appears that way. Not really giving off the aura of masculine assertion, is it?

David Beckham comes across as genuinely paternal which I think is attractive, and he does seem a decent person. But otherwise we have there another Brad Pitt phenomenon.

you know - i've never really thought about it like that - but that's right - he's not very masculine. huh!

for me - Good looking? yes, he's a great looking man for his age.
Sex Appeal - zero for me
Nice Body - from the movies i've seen - sure
Intelligent - you said absolutely. for me - i just don't see that - at all.
Masculine - no.
Smarts? not sure about that either.

and all the other things you said about him - sure. and some of those qualities or even all of them on paper, sound fantastic. given the subject - not at all.

yes, he's a great looking man - but i don't find him attractive.

And one person may like BP for his body, another for a character he portrayed (and unable to fully differentiate him from the character, like that crazy guy who shot Reagan who couldn't tell the difference between Jodie Foster and a character she did in Taxi Driver), or even just turned on by his wealth. Some (probably a Leo) might even just see him as an accessory/arm candy to show off. They might not even care about him save that others care about him.

I don't think he lacks masculinity at all. I dig his guy vibe-- he's not a macho, overbearing guy's guy-- all things that turn me off. I do tend to be attracted to "pretty boys" though, so I guess that goes hand in hand with my preferred type of masculinity.

But can we rip on Angelina now?
