    He looks good there. Have to say, I normally find Brad Pitt deeply, deeeply, deeply unattractive. Just far too regular looking and dull. No spark.

    Maybe he looks better there because he looks a bit mussed up...

    Looks more Robbie Williams to me!

    I don't usually like him either, but I reckon I could force myself to take that one :D:A

    I should point out that I don't really look like Brad Pitt.

    Do you know what I love about women? They all have really differing opinions on which men they find attractive. You can put up a picture of Colin Firth, Brad Pitt, George Clooney or any other traditional 'pin up' and half the women will swoon and the other half will say "Urgh, no thanks. Give me Declan Curry from Working Lunch any day of the week. Love those man boobs."

    This constant contrasting opinion on men from women gives all of us fellas eternal hope.

    And vice versa, Cleaver.

    Men fancying Kirsty Allsop... :eek:


    Actually that doesn't give me hope.

    It just makes me think some men are really weird. :rotfl:

    But that's how it's supposed to be. If we were all attracted to the same person, that person would get pretty worn out. :p

    As the saying goes... there's someone for everyone (just not the same someone!)

    Carol, do you live in a cave? You never seem to know anyone! ;)

    Let's do a quick test. How many can you name of this lot. No cheating.

    Same for the women too.....it's an absolute nightmare being 40 something as we are all meant to look like we haven't aged one little bit.

    Strange cultural thing too......that women on telly/film are like magic women who look 20 something for ever.

    I was told at on one occasion to 'have a little something'...it was really upsetting at the time and I didn't look in the mirror for months as I am fairly holistic plus try really hard to ''rise above vanity''...which I don't mean to sound worthy. I think they were just trying to be nice and helpful.

    Oi! You leave Kirsty out of this. My mum thinks I look like her.
    Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

    You're right, we are variable but...

    ...stick up a picture of Cameron Diaz and ask 100 straight men, "well, would you?" it wouldn't be 50/50 in terms of yes / no. Maybe 95 / 5.

    And the 5 who said no would be f*cking odd.
