Supposedly extremely attractive people who you don't find attractive?

Rihanna, with her Jimmy Hill chin, beady eyes, small head, cankles and bandy legs. Cannot see anything attractive about her.

Beyoncé is another one that baffles me. She's morphing into her husband more and more every day and she dances like a constipated duck.

I've seen Vogue Williams mentioned here... While I do think she's attractive, I think she's the absolute image of that old American actor George Hamilton circa 1980. Maybe it's the mole but jeeeez it's uncanny.

Jane ní Dhulchaointigh. One of my friends went to see her in Paris for the 2018 European Inventor Award. She's a ride no doubt but not too stunning.

When compared with the rest of the royals, she's stunning. If she was in Hollywood, not so much.

"Supposedly extremely attractive people who you don't find attractive"

I feel the thread title has been lost. Anyway, I'm aiming right for the top:

Female: Marilyn Monroe

Male: Elvis Presley

Elvis didn't really look like a real person or something, like he was made out of plastic. If you saw someone that looked like him today (and you'd no knowledge of who Elvis was) you'd think he's a strange looking fellow. Even in his fat days it looked like prosthetics.

Yeah that's kind of what I was thinking (without realising it)

Jane ní Dhulchaointigh? Are people mixing up this thread with the 'unusual people you fancy' thread?

+1000. Never got the deal with her, especially her usual onscreen persona. Never mind that she was nuttier than squirrel poo.

I never got the Marilyn Monroe thing. She was very ordinary looking except for the blonde hair.
She also had plastic surgery - nose and chin.
Would understand if she had a great personality or talent. Her speciality seemed to be acting like a “bimbo”
Not saying she was a bimbo in real life or anything.
Her icon status seems to be based on the fact that she was troubled and died young, which is kind of sad really.

She's truly hot stuff (in my opinion)

It is going back to the 1990s but I just never understood how people at the time described Barbra Streisand, what the hell was Andre Agassi thinking?

Didn't know they got together. However, Streisand was a great beauty and anyone who says otherwise is just too basic to see it

Maybe already mentioned but yer woman Maura from Longford that was on that reality show .

Just no, I will stay basic thank you.

Holly13 · 31-08-2019 01:52PM

There are better photos of her than that.
Can see why people may not find her attractive.
IMO she is attractive though. At first glance her nose is overwhelming, however she is one of those people who the longer you look at her the more attractive she becomes.
Also she had very good skin and hair and nice blue eyes- similar to Jennifer Anniston in that regard, who also doesn’t have the best facial features but is attractive overall.
About hair - most female celebs now have extensions or wear hair pieces to make their hair appear fuller. Good natural thick long hair is not that common

Obviously the hair is a bit dated (fashionable at the time, I'm sure) but facially she is gorgeous. If you're into cookie cutter beauty, you won't see that

I love the supposed quote of hers to Albert einstein.
"If we had a baby albert , with your brains and my looks it could rule the world.
To which he replied " what if they had my looks and your brains "

People tell one of my friends that she looks like Barbara Streisand. She does not take it as a compliment. I think she’s way prettier than Streisand myself personally. I only recently found about Streisand and Agassi. Mad, Ted.

This. For a product of a small gene pool (she wasn’t Royal-born but was an aristocrat), she was good-looking. Highly irritating though, so simpering. And that was probably put on.

Yeah Streisand had pretty eyes and a truly fantastic voice, brains and a forceful personality, all of which made her attractive, but a "great beauty" she was not.

That 70's flic she starred in with Robert Redford, The Way We Were, the difference between his level of near farcically handsome and her quirky look was a very wide one.

That was a major part of its appeal as a story for many women(who were the principle audience). His character turns down the classically beautiful women for her "quirkiness" and "personality". A rare gender reversal of the near constant Hollywood trope of the very average looking, even below average looking man ending up with the total babe who turns down the handsome and rich blokes. Hell even in cartoon form that's a thing. Homer Simpson is a bald fat oaf and Marge is well outa his league.

Though the Way We Were ends up a more complex and crafted story than 90% of the average guy ends up with utter babe flics. For a start it's more realistic and they don't end up together. Good film actually and she's very good in it, he just does "him" as usual. But I digress...

Streisand is a great beauty- the problem is, you (and others) have been conditioned to think that a cookie cutter type beauty is better than someone who doesn't fit the mould. Jack Nicholson and many others fell in love with her. I stand by my earlier statement- she is a great beauty and anyone who says otherwise is just too basic to see it

No I disagree, you are trying to use reverse physiology and disparage peoples opinions by suggesting they have less refined tastes and I call bull on that. Streisand has always provoked debate of this type and I am glad I brought her into the conversation as it is the classic example.
I have no idea what a cookie cutter is and could care less, I just find Streisand to be distinctly unattractive and actually as someone mentioned earlier she has a similar look to Jennifer Aniston whom I also find unattractive but never made the connection between the two until mentioned in this tread. Is she a cookie cutter?

Supposedly extremely attractive people who you don't find attractive?
