Just a bit of fun. Who is the most attractive person you know / have known, and why? Not just talking about looks.

My former housemate/good friend. She was objectively gorgeous (naturally white blonde curly hair, beautiful eyes and smile, lovely figure etc) but as others have said, also had that 'something' about her that drew people to her. Amazingly charismatic, really fun to be around, always laughing and a bit wild too.

Really sadly after we both moved on I heard she'd become an addict (heroin). I saw her briefly a while back and while the physical features were the same she no longer had that special something. Such a shame.

(And yes before anyone says anything both I and various other friends and her family have done everything possible to get her out of that situation!)

[Shrug] if people think it's weird that I said my son. He and his friend are the best looking people I know personally, that was the question. If I could show a picture you'd agree. There's plenty of annoying things about him.

My son isn’t conventionally handsome but I notice girls glancing at him all the time. He’s extremely charismatic, charms everyone. Could get birds to eat from his palm. He knows it and uses it to his advantage.

A colleague of mine. She’s got a stunning face and her personality is incredible. Such a wicked sense of humour.
She gets on with everybody and even those she isn’t particularly fond of, she’s still kind and helpful, which is rare in my workplace, unfortunately!

She has what I think they call “dynamic beauty”. Photos of her do her no justice. We were on a work night out a few weeks ago, she was at the bar laughing with the barmen and our colleague sat at the table next to me said “fucking hell, is just so beautiful, look at that smile!” I think we’re all a bit obsessed with her! Sadly, I don’t think she sees it herself.

It's a bit of a weird question. I don't think anyone I know has the full package.

When I consider all my female friends they all have different things about them - eg. I think the one with the most attractive figure doesn't have the prettiest face or the best hair etc.

Is looking like a Barbie doll really attractive???

Uh, yes. Obviously. Far preferable to looking like a gnome.

IlooklikeNigella · 26/10/2024 08:49

My bestie. She is blonde, slim and pretty but not excessively so. However she has an amazing talent for making people feel special and it draws everyone to her.

CaptainSeven · 26/10/2024 09:01

I think most of my good friends are hugely attractive and their DC are gorgeous too. One friend has absolutely stunning DC, and it's not just me that thinks that. Others do too.

And the thing is, genuinely, as I get to know them better they get more attractive! Their personalities make them even more beautiful, charismatic, gorgeous.

Then there are some acquaintances who on paper are attractive, but their personalities are awful. The overall all result is that they become just "meh" and don't improve with time.

I don’t mean literally. I mean just visually beautiful.

I don’t mean literally. I mean just visually beautiful.

Sorry but saying someone resembles a plastic doll which is a caracature of female attractiveness is really quite insulting.
You might have meant it as a compliment but it conjures up a picture of someone whose looks are really false and based on cosmetic surgery and procedures and make up and expensive clothes and no personality or intrinsic attractiveness.

Fwiw I agree with pp that Elizabeth Taylor when young was the epitany of female beauty. And she was human and had personality.
Lots of gorgeous men but I always thought Adam Ant when he was young was beautiful. And talented and quirky.

Our dogs previous vet, he once accidentally grabbed my thigh to steady himself while squatting down. He was once at a halloween party I was at wearing very little, I will forever appreciate the outfit.

I know lots of people say this, but my husband, he is genuinely beautiful, he gets a lot of attention on nights out and is always propositioned. His features are perfectly proportioned and his face is almost perfectly symmetrical.

gokartdillydilly · 26/10/2024 10:07

I have one of those. A lovely husband, I mean, not a sick bucket 😂

babbi · 26/10/2024 10:24

My daughter which is very surprising given how I and her dad look 🤷‍♀️

Couple of months back someone said to me “ but that can’t be your daughter , she’s stunning !! 🙈”

She wasn’t being rude just truthful and saying what most people are probably thinking , being in an early stage of dementia the lady probably just had no filters applied .

DD is oblivious.
Shes old enough now that we can go out for a meal or drink together.
She will frequently roll her eyes at me and comment on how I “end up talking to any and every random “ while we are out .

I haven’t the heart to tell her they are talking to me to get closer to admiring her 😆
She would be very self conscious.

Not sure how it looks when I’m chatting to lots of handsome young man , but I will enjoy it for giggles as it’s a first for me 😆😆

PlayDadiFreyr · 26/10/2024 10:29

Couple of guys from uni stand out. One absolutely beautiful boy from a seminar group - sort of like a more hench David Tennant, and always impeccably well dressed.

And a fencer I spent an evening chatting too, who I have nicknamed Lancelot because of his beautiful Heath Ledger style curls. Absolutely stunning man, and we really clicked.

Squirrelsnut · 26/10/2024 10:37

I wish I saw all these exceptionally beautiful people when I'm out and about..
I think love definitely clouds judgement. As it should!

TriangleLight · 26/10/2024 10:40

@Squirrelsnut they are there! There’s a girl in my town who is just stunning, you have to look kind of stunning. Even in gym wear, it’s crushing 😂

And another beautiful young woman round the area my DP lives.

Maybe I just don't love my children enough. I mean they're cute, to me, but I'm their mum. I would think that. I don't think some of you are aware that you can think your children are the most beautiful things in the world, it does mean they actually are.

SallyWD · 26/10/2024 10:41

I have two friends who are very beautiful, as well as having amazing figures. I have never envied them. They got so much attention wherever they go. It's been amazing to watch the effect they have on men.
I have male friend who's the most handsome man I've ever seen. He's like Marlon Brando in his prime. Women swoon over him.

All beauty is subjective though isn't it? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that.

mondaytosunday · 26/10/2024 11:47

Gosh hard pressed on this one! My DH died years ago otherwise I'd have said him.
My son's ex is model gorgeous but I don't like her as a person so that takes away quite a bit.
My cousin was stunning in her youth but like me over 60 and now not so much!
Hmmmmm. My neighbour across the street is a bit of a hunk. Best I can do really!

gano · 26/10/2024 12:00

Years ago, in my mid 20s, a new girl started working on my team, and she was around the same age as me. As soon as she walked in, all legs, cheekbones, and voluminous hair, I thought "oh fuck off!" 😂 She was really lovely thought and we became friends. We laughed about it when I told her, after we'd worked together for a while.

BetterInColour · 26/10/2024 12:06

I've known lots of attractive people in my time.

Out of my friends at college and uni, I had one absolutely stunning friend, most of my friends were attractive, but she was headturningly beautiful, tall, dark hair, just an amazing face, and when we used to go out, everyone would stare at her (or hit on her) and I'd be her sidekick, whereas usually I would get some attention in my own right! It was a lot of fun, though and she's a great person, I'm still friends with her 35 years later although that breathtaking beauty did go by about her mid-twenties, now she looks like a lovely looking middle-aged lady and so more similar to all my friends.

Out of current friends, I have one very good looking friend, partly very slim, partly great face, very vivacious and again, people look at her, she's over 50.

In terms of being naturally radiant, both my mum and gran were like that, both nice looking but just very calm, good listeners, everyone wants to be around them, and they make enduring and great friends as a result. They kind of glow a bit and they are my role models for when I'm feeling a bit cross about the wrinkles!

BetterInColour · 26/10/2024 12:10

I also dated some very good-looking men, a couple of models (not sure they were working full time though) and other very attractive guys. I was not as good looking as them.

Thing is, beauty is only skin deep, and I did have a few times I was sitting opposite them thinking you are great, but you just aren't that bright.

Eventually I found my husband who was very good-looking (not model type though) and incredibly clever, so I'm glad I held out for both! He also has a charisma that mean he has a lot of friends, attracts people in, although he can also annoy them.

Personality attractiveness, I have one or two people who were kind to me at a very difficult time in my life, or as a child, and to me them will always be radiant human beings.

SevernWonders · 26/10/2024 12:18

DSD's ex best friend is absolutely stunning - like people stopping in the street to look at her but she is a horrible person.
