I am so happy someone else noticed Greg the Kashi guy. I almost fell off the couch the first time I saw that commercial. He is a total dream date to me. My other current crushes include; Zak Galifinakis (especially as he continues to get pudgier) and nfl offensive lineman Joe Andruzzi. I think this is a great discussion. While I am not into the pretty boys (Jake G, Christian B., etc) it is very interesting to hear from others that are but also think Greg is hot. I can appreciate why many find the current media defined standard of male beauty attractive, it just doesn’t do anything for me. I will take an “average” looking man with a bit of a belly, hair (facial and otherwise) anyday over a cut pretty boy.

I’m a lot like you on this one. I’ll watch teevee shows and commercials for cute guys [the stupid Devry guy with the adorable dimples, remember him?] though I’m a lot less prone to watching movies for them. My fave guys: Jake G., Sufjan Stevens, Chris Evans. Anyone who reads my blog more than a few times [sorry for them] probably notices that I have that fixated thing you’re describing. I end up using pictures of guys I find attractive to make really odd [and often somewhat disfigured or at least obscured] images. Um, that sounds a lot weirder than I meant it. Anyhow, I think it’s pretty healthy to find lots of people attractive. That monolithic, jealous kind of “love” scares me.

I met a girl at a party and we hit off. As we were dancing I saw this other girl that I had wanted to talk to before I met the one I was dancing with and gave her a smile. I guess I still wanted to talk to her and found her attractive…more attractive I guess than the one I was with. Of course, I mean in the physical shallow sense. There is always someone cuter, someone more appealing physicaly, nicer out there, just as their is always someone not as attractive, not as funny etc. Angelina Jolie for example will probably always be more attractive than a girlfriend I may have, but what does that mean? Loving someone is about so much more that how you rate them from a scale from one to ten on looks isn’t? Is it bad to think someone is better looking that the person you are with or interested in? Seriously, looking for an answer to these questions, I find myself racked with guilt…I mean I can’t say anything, but at the same time, it sounds awful to something like that…that no, you are not as a attractive as her. Not that I would say that, since that is a death wish and cruel. Is it just a don’t ask, don’t tell thing?

At last i find a comment about Greg the kashi guy. This guy has me so turned on. As far as attraction goes, beyong the physical appearance, details like the smile, and other subtilities do break or make what i find cute, handsome, attractive or sexy. The hellenic or conventional beauty doesnt stir any bone in me (no puns intended) i find it 2 dimensional and perhaps too defined, accepted and expected. Beauty for the lazy.
Greg (kashi man or lookalikes) appeals to other senses and redefines our scale of esthetisme.
ahem..
ps:(Pathetic Scream) anyone knows who this guy is?

Ok, I admit it, Dean Cain.

My standards have always been broad. I find a person’s character SO much more attractive than a flat stomach or a dimpled chin. A pretty face or body only goes so far with me these days. When I look at a guy I’m more likely to wonder if he’s someone I’d like to be hanging out with months from now than what he looks like naked. Of course the naked thing is nice too.

I thought I was the only one that had the hots for the Kashi guy.

Simon, I am sorry that you are breaking up with your BF. As for this:

I find the older I get the broader the range is of people I find attractive. In my teens and 20’s I used to like only smooth muscular or skinny boys, preferably younger than me, now I find myself looking even at overweight hairy men in their 50’s and thinking they’re not so bad. And that’s a good thing.

I have found myself change what I find attractive so much since I first came out. The best example, is the guy greg from kashi that I mentioned. He is so hot to me, and he is heavier set, and older. I never thought that would be what I find attractive, but more and more I find that it is. I honestly think that is part of growing and maturing; you realize that there are many different kinds of beauty out there, and the skinny, muscular “perfects” aren’t the only people that are beautiful. Me, I love a belly, and I am not afraid to admit it!

As I write this I’m watching the repeat of last week’s Project Runway. Literally two minutes before I started reading your blog entry today I thought to myself that Robert Best is quite cute (I didn’t even notice him last week). On the other extreme Malan is just too awful for words, particularly when he starts laughing or making his supercilious comments. The guy with the tattooed neck and the hoodie gives me the creeps as well.

I’m in the thoes of breaking up with my bf and I had the same problem with him as you did with yours, Byron. I’d also comment on cute guys which would piss him off every time. The annoying thing was I know he was thinking exactly what I was. At least I’d point out the cuties and share them with him. All I do is look. I’ve never even come close to cheating in 5 years.

I find the older I get the broader the range is of people I find attractive. In my teens and 20’s I used to like only smooth muscular or skinny boys, preferably younger than me, now I find myself looking even at overweight hairy men in their 50’s and thinking they’re not so bad. And that’s a good thing.

Since I’ve met Chris, I don’t look at other guys the same way. Sure, I notice attractive guys, but not in the same, lusty way I used to. However, I get a little un-comfortable when he mentions another cute guy.
