Is Mitt Romney sexy? (Original Post) denem Apr 2012 OP
Romney is one of those guys who are ok looking but have No Sex Appeal, Santorum and Newt have more JI7 Apr 2012 #1
I'd say Santorum and Newt are pretty much near zero when it comes to sex appeal. bayareamike Apr 2012 #2
yup, which means Romney is in the negatives when it comes to sex appeal JI7 Apr 2012 #3

sex appeal. the guy comes off as creepy awkward to me.

as for what happened, there is some thread about something his wife said about him which might explain some of it.

I'm not sure uptight "dickishness" is sexy. And as for Newt...well...no words need be said about Newt. LOL

He reminds me of Howdy Doody -- he is not real.

His smile is fake.

His "jokes" are not funny.

He is out of touch with the real word.

Anyone that would put his dog on top of a car does not get my vote.

sexy as a molded piece of plastic. If someone finds department store mannequins sexy, then Mitt's their kind of guy. I suspect most women prefer their men a little more human.

All the physical features are there, but still there's something vital missing.

Plus the way he moves is wooden. He takes fast little steps when he walks and sticks his arms stiffly down and does little stubby movements when he turns on stage to talk to his audience. He also jerks his head from side to side to try to quickly look at everybody in the room. It makes him look like he thinks someone is sneaking up on him. And his face isn't very expressive. He always looks enthusiastic about something and never looks amused or sad or serious or thoughtful. No gravitas at all.

the insincere Daisy's voice is described as sounding like money. Mitt looks and acts like money. His great wealth has shielded him from all manner of everyday worries and concerns - and robbed him of his humanity to the point where he can't even fake it. You're right. He's as expressionless and as vapid as the doll.

Vacuous, not really the stupid kind more like the predatory kind. Like the how a cat eyes it's prey unblinking and unaware of it's surroundings until it pounces. Except with cats it's kinda cool. With Rmoney and most humans it's creepy.

I have always been informed by some men about what I find sexy, and according to them, I should find Mitt very sexy. He has money and can support my children. He is proven "successful" and able to support a family ( or his genes are, in Mitt's case, his father or grandfather earned the money ). Since he can support my kids, I'm supposed to find him attractive.

Why isn't it working?

Mormons are encouraged to be "clean cut." Just look at the guys who come knocking at your door in their white shirts, black ties and carefully combed outdated hair styles. The culture enforces dress codes and behaviors that wipe out any hint of originality or personal uniqueness. He's a very typical product of the mormon factory system. One flavor only: bland, vanilla.

I haven't see anyone as sexy as Mitt Romney in a quick minute. I would toss that old man on his back so fast it would make his cute head spin, and I would tear his clothes off, and do horribly wrong, dirty things to his body. There's your answer!
