Or as Sean says, "Poosy."

In the barn with the female pilot, in Goldfinger!!

Apart from that lefty George Loony you seem have very good taste in men.

Marlon Brando, Paul Newman, Clark Gable, George Clooney, Ewan McGregor, Bela Bartok, Rachmaninoff

And now knives are at fault.

From the "I will probably get shot for saying this" file...

I must say, that actor from the next Harry Potter film who was murdered yesterday looks soooooo yummy in his photographs.

Gosh, what kind of a World is it where such chaps get stabbed in niteclubs?!?!

So where is the 'Give him to me for 6 hours and I'D striaghten him out' attitude?

Just realized I never answered you.

I guess I don't go for men who need straightening out as they don't fit my ideal! I want them already straightened out thanks - unless they're up for a boot-clad, impatient Dominatrix to slap 'em around... that I can do.

The sights are set as low as Hollywood celebs only because they are what's readily available on the net. But, if I had to pick one character of an all time REAL MAN without any limit to my fantasy it would be Henry V as depicted here.

edit.. Brannagh isn't the best Henry of course, but this is one of the most rousing man to man speeches.

Steve Waugh: a lot less natural skill than his twin brother and many of his contempories, but much more successful due to sheer grit and determination.

Selleck (for looks anyway):

Sarkozy!

Venezuelan Freedom Fighter: Leopoldo Lopez

The image of Lenin has gone. Have I been a bad boy and copied an image I shouldn't have? Would a hyperlink have been better?

God forbid that I sound like Phyllus!

But we are talking about Fantasy. No limits! You can fantasize about ~any~ man without caveats like "it's 2007 and he's dead or fat or bald or gay!"

Yes, that's right gay! As Jennifer pointed out on the other thread, many gay men are much better looking than Clooney et al. Hell, I freely admit, when it comes to giving advice about male grooming and stylish clothing for men, Gay guys have straight men and ALL women beaten hands down.

So where is the 'Give him to me for 6 hours and I'D striaghten him out' attitude?

So my point is, why are the sights set so low!

I agree with Mario being on the list. His name just didn't spring out at me when I was thinking of counter examples to the poseurs. Believe me, if I'd seen that photo of Mario, I'd have added him to the list.

And if you notice, I'm in whole-hearted agreement with PC's list of the top 10 women - one of whom ~is~ Anna Moffo. Maria Callas is gorgeous too when her hair isn't slicked back or poofed up so that's it's bigger than Texas.

And I seem to recall waxing lyrical about the absolutely gorgeous and talented Kirsten Chavez on SOLOHQ some time back...

I don't lust after nit wits - handsome or butt-ugly.

Look past the clothes and the bodies to something that can't be bought with money and advice from life/style/fitness coaches. Weigh the talent, the intelligence, the courage, the joie du vie in addition to the body and the perfect tan.

Please don't go doing a Phyllis on me... this is meant to be a rather frivolous thread after all.

I have always loved this Aussie actor, Bryan Brown. His whole face radiates naughty humour. I smile every time I catch a glimpse of it. A typical big nosed Australian loud mouth.

What's wrong with Mario?

Yes, it's true the choices here are depressingly conventional and mindless. But, do either men or women really appreciate brains, beauty and talent combined?

I think not. If they did, Mario and Anna Moffo would be top of the pops. And if folk here can't appreciate either, what hope is there for anyone else?? SOLO, after all, is the advance guard of humanity!

I'm afraid the Age of Crap is also the Age of the Bimbo. And even SOLO is full of Bimbos.

Have to put all these smiley faces here or folk will call me an esthetic fascist and flounce. Well, Americans anyway.

Translation of poster text: "Let there be more light, so that the [Communist] party will know all."

There is a reasons for posting this. Like the boys on the Hottest Women thread, I think you girls are selling yourselves short. If nitwits like Matt Daemon, John Campbell and George Clooney are the pinnacle of manhood, then objectivists are an endangered species!

Look past the clothes and the bodies to something that can't be bought with money and advice from life/style/fitness coaches. Weigh the talent, the intelligence, the courage, the joie du vie in addition to the body and the perfect tan.

You know how to steal your Lord-Baron's heart.

Pierce Brosnan John Campbell!

on *fairly* good authority that this is an excellent example of beauty, brains and talent combined.

definitely when it comes to women. Can't say I pay all that much attention to men.

Ahem, and I think you've forgotten the realm of sports, music, miscellaneous performing arts, manual laboring jobs (fire-fighting, police, oil-drilling, farming), medicine...

There are a hundred and one careers out there for fit, honest men with brains. Every single one of them unlikely to be covered by 'journalists' from Cosmo or the Hollywood Beat.

Beauty, brains, courage and integrity are often combined so why the hell settle for anything less?

Outside of film acting... and the army... and the odd entrepreneur... where are these attributes so oft combined?

I can't believe the selection of bloody girly men here, bimbettes one and all (with the exception of Gary Cooper - thank you Liz!) What the hell happened to picking guys with real substance? Fire in the belly and the mind?

I can't believe the the bloody wimps you girls are slobbering over. Every goddamned one an actor! No wonder the girly men are taking over the planet.

What? No soldiers or sportsmen rate the grade?

Recon Marines. Swift, Silent, Deadly. No stunt doubles, no eye liner.

Lance Armstrong - only one testicle but still has more balls then all the pretty boys mentioned thus far combined.

And if you ~must~ choose actors. Why are you choosing ones that even the nerds at my old high school would've beaten the crap out of? Whatever happened to the boys who played hard and intelligent men of integrity because they were hard, intelligent men of integrity?

Clint Eastwood. 'Nuff said.

Sam Elliot. Low gravely voice and a steely glaze. His mustache is registered as a lethal weapon.

Brigadier General James Stewart (USAAF Ret.) Served in USAAF 8th Air Force and ~then~ became an actor.

Gregory Peck.

Kenneth More - one of the finest actors England has ever produced.

Lewis Collins, ex-British Territorial Army. Professional.

Charlton Heston. Was with Luther King during the Freedom Rides to Montgomery. Has the biggest guns of anyone on this thread.

If my girlfriend fell for any one of the men I've mentioned here, I'd be mad, but I'd understand and respect her choice.

If I got dumped for the procession of poseurs mentioned previously, I'd be spending some serious time trying to figure out how I ever fell for the vapid trollop in first place.

Beauty, brains, talent, courage and integrity are often combined so why the hell are you girls settling for one or two of those when you can have the whole enchilada?

Seriously, you girls need to put down Cosmo & Hello magazine and get out more.

I can't agree with you about Kingdom of Heaven. Orlando played a good hero, even with the kind of gentle energy he fills the screen with. I think it was a case of an average actor *just making it* because of superb directing. Give him another decade... and some defining wrinkles... then he'll be something.

Glenn... ah yes, Viggo. Thanks for that one... god he's pleasant on the eye. Remember how bawlsy but quiet a hero he played in A History of Violence? Sublime.

Shandra... ok ok... I grant you that Orlando is at his most attractive in Kingdom of Heaven... but not as much of a phaaw factor as Liam Neeson! ("I once had to fight for two days with an arrow through my testicle!")

Being in some period film and sporting a sword and a half grown beard doesn't change the fact that you're a scarf wearing girly man.

Is also boring. Kingdom of Heaven killed me because the man simply can't hold up a film. I know this thread is supposed to be about looks but I've always though that looks can be seriously dulled for lack of charm. Paris Hilton is technically good looking but I can't stand the thought of her simply because she's so god damn boring.

Essentially what I'm saying is that you have poor taste, Shandra. Follow your mothers lead and get Nortonised!.

I believe the appropriate meme is "O RLY!?"

left out Him...

... and the ultimate Claudia sandwich...

He's not entirely girly! Think Kingdom of Heaven!! x

But he's a flippin' girly man. I can't have raised you right!

How do you post an image from the internet here? I tried the image tags and link...no go.

Sorry mum, but I can't let you lot leave the love of my life out!.......

Ha! I swear Elijah you made me spout wine out of my nose. I get you now.

Sweet Dreams

Mr. Brando

The Conquistador: Javier Bardem

Beatty

Gary Cooper

... it's understood that this is not a site for pedophiles or whatever the proper title is for those who fancy pubescent boys and girls. I hold no one's orientation against him, since it's not chosen, but chaps who fancy those too young to know if they're Arthur or Martha should confine themselves to jerking off. If they think otherwise they should join forces with the evil pedo-publisher Peron, who initially advocated no Age of Consent, then an Age of Consent set at puberty. Funny that!

they look younger than my son! And too pooftery.

But here's Sean Bean... ruggedly, sharply gorgeous. An excellent actor too.

do you think is yummier?

Craig from Coronation Street

or Nicholas Hoult

but might I add Marlon Brando? George Clooney? Brad Pitt? Steve McQueen? Paul Newman?

Scott DeSalvo

Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum viditur!

Stylistically, I have always loved this shot of Al Pacino as Michael Corleone. I wish men still wore those cravat thingys around their necks... very classy and groomed.

That was blunt Dearest.

Liz.... yes, Gerard Butler... isn't he just fine! With or without clothes on.

deleted.

Is a fucking bore.

That is all.

Gerard Butler

Josh Hartnett

"Dame Judi Dench caught a glimpse of the hunky actor's impressive appendage as he was getting dressed in his trailer which was situated opposite her own.

"It's an absolute monster! Maybe I shouldn't have said that. How uncouth of me!"

You have impeccable taste. Norton and Damon are my hetro man crushes.

Here's my Edward Norton... looking mean and tough in American History X.

Oh mother! X

You type img src="html web address" and enclose the whole thing in alligator jaws ie.. <>

Don't forget to leave a space between img and src.

Happy posting.

I need help posting images- would someone please post instructions.
Thanks in advance.

Matthew McConaughey was asked once about what kind of cologne he used. He said he didn't wear cologne; he liked to smell like a man. Yum!!!

rather like Leonardo Di Caprio

The underrated Hector Elizondo:

Oded "Whoar!" Fehr:

Kiwi actor Marton Csokas:

Yum, yum to Matthew's bum! I like Jude Law and Matt Damon, too. Eli, if it's any consolation I can't remember how to attach photos either. Geek William, could you post the instructions again—maybe as a link in the top blue strip so they're always accessible?

does one upload photographs on here?
