Just a take on the thread that has been set up regarding ugly men, any one find any ugly women attractive?
I'm going to have a think..
Was Margaret Thatcher one in her prime? Sandra Bernhardt? (I know she is gay) karen Brady I always think is odd looking but nice.

yes they do have equivalents just not as many - even female "character" actors tend to be at most plain and not ugly.

ALso fewer female comedians and lots of male comedians are not traditionally attractive.

Tilda Swinton is sooo not ugly.
That actress who played Anna in this Life?

VersdeSociete · 17/06/2008 15:42

Oooh, ooh Jamie Lee Curtis!!!!

DaDaDa · 17/06/2008 15:42

I think what's lost in translation is that I don't think the men mentioned are ugly either. Women do have to reach higher standards of conventional attractiveness, but I don't think Gordon Ramsey, Andrew Marr, etc are ugly compared to yer Average Joe. They have 'something'.

money and fame DaDaDa

Spidermama · 17/06/2008 15:44

Tilda Swinton is very attractive. Is that the best you can do?

Kewcumber · 17/06/2008 15:44

I see what you mean.

Mind you I once recruited the ugliest man I've ever known personally and after wokring with him for a year I really found him rather attractive . Very funny and smart man.

Spidermama · 17/06/2008 15:45

What about Orla Guerin?

VersdeSociete · 17/06/2008 15:47

SJP?
No one has noticed that Jamie LEe Curtis is genius answer...

scatterbrain · 17/06/2008 15:48

Do you know what I don't think anyone is completely ugly - some people have funny eyes or weird mouths - and some people look like their features don't match. But really honestly - I don't think I have ever seen a really ugly human being !

VictorianSqualor · 17/06/2008 15:48

Sarah Jessica Parker looks like a foot.

DaDaDa · 17/06/2008 15:48

I don't even think Tilda Swinton is ugly. It's irrelevant, she's a great actress. Sheeeeesh. You're victimising me here.

I think it's fair to say that Orla Guerin won her fame through her journalistic abilities, yes.

BigGitDad · 17/06/2008 15:49

That's always the way Kew, someone you don't find attractive initially but after a while they grow on you. Lawrence Dallaglio would be the same you know (OBE of course!)

I've yet to meet a man who finds SJP attractive 'in that way'. Any neeeiiigggh sayers?

AitchTwoCiao · 17/06/2008 15:51

tilda swinton is a beauty, imo.
and my point about liz hurley is that despite being conventionally attractive she is nevertheless unattractive, again imo. likewise uma.

AitchTwoCiao · 17/06/2008 15:52

sjp is ugly, imo. although has an undeniable warmth in her early performances. now she's too cagey.

cestlavie · 17/06/2008 15:53

Ah Aitch. That is a different thread. Women who are conventionally attractive but actually unattractive - that's a huge long list...!

scatterbrain · 17/06/2008 15:53

I agree with you Aitch - likewise someone like Jordan or Pammie Anderson - who is technically a "perfect woman" I think are very unattractive as they are too perfect ! Quirky looks are what gives the human race character surely ?

MaryAnnSingleton · 17/06/2008 15:53

we love Orla Guerin chez MAS
Jo Brand looked very good onJonathan Ross - it was the hair cut
Daniela Nardini ( from This Life) as someone mentioned
Tracey Emin has some false teeth I think,which accounts for wonky smile

BigGitDad · 17/06/2008 15:56

Pammy in her youth was gorgeous, natural and beautiful. Now? She looks like a fading porn star. Jordan, when she was on I'm a celebrity. I thought it showed how unattractive she is.She really does not come across as a nice person either.
What will these people look like when they get to 60 yrs old? I don't doubt horrendous.
