Unexplainable Crushes

Have you ever had a crush on someone and you can't explain why? Someone, perhaps, not so attractive?

For me, it's Bobby Flay. Don't ask why 'cause I dunno why.

Bobby Flay -- arrogant, red head chef on Food Network. I think he had his own restaurant by age 20 or something absurd.

Hmmm. Maybe it's the arrogance.

  @ ekim arrogance may get you in the door initially, but it'll also get you booted out quickly.
  
  Maybe we think if he thinks so much of himself, it something we should be looking at too???

  well said newword, lol They're like the bimbos of the man world, good for a ride but not someone you wanna have stick around
6. 6/11/08
  
  ekim941
  
  So, Neward, the premise is that arrogance is a good thing but the booty should tame him down. Otherwise it would hurt your ego?
7. 6/12/08
  
  newward
  
  @ekim cute... Long answer: arrogance reflects confidence - but usually turns into cockiness (no pun intended, hehehehe). I do want someone in my life that is confident and speaks his mind, but will not be so arrogant as to think the world revolves around him.
  
  Short answer: If the booty can tame him - what the hell
8. 6/12/08

  CONFIDENCE is a very attractive quality, and sometimes in the early days confidence and arrogance are difficult to distinguish.

  Did you see his nude episode? Ummm let me think I think it was the season 3 premier or perhaps season 4. It was the season after Buffy had "killed" him, and he came back -- dropped from the heavens with no clothes.

I've had some weird ones (not surprising, right?)

-in my youth I had a thing for Phylicia Rashad from the Cosby Show. That was my first MILF.

- I'm really embarrased to admit this one...for some reason Sandra Oh turns me on. I know, I know - she's hideous. But she looks like she'd be into some freaky stuff.

- the Italian actress that plays the wife on King of Queens. Her name escapes me. Don't know what it is about her, but I find her very attractive.

[reply]
1. 6/11/08

  King of queens is very unrealistic because of the matchup of Kevin James and that beautiful woman. So I agree with you on one. ONLY ONE!!!
2. 6/11/08
  
  kdawg68
  
  Hey now...I'm rather Kevin James-ish and I managed to pull a decent one.
  
  But you're telling me you wouldn't have shagged Mrs. Huxtable?
3. 6/11/08
  
  ekim941
  
  nope. I was more into Lisa Bonet. She did that shoot with rolling stone and then that movie with Micky Rourke (I think it was wild orchid??).
  OMG she's hawt.

  Lisa Bonet looked too much like an art major for me. Didn't she wear hats similar to that wardrobe malfunction in our favorite Teen Wolf Too clip (think of the hat Bateman is wearing as he leaps for the frisbee).
  
  I'd have taken Tempest Bledsoe over her. Tempest looked more real to me.
9. 6/11/08
  
  ekim941
  
  You must be thinking of the eldest sister. I don't remember Lisa Bonet as wearing hats.
10. 6/11/08
  
  ekim941
  
  Oh, and Tempest was a little young. That's a big leap from the Mom to Tempest.
  
  Believe it or not, I also had a major crush on the sister from "Growing pains"

  Tracy Gold? I think I liked her then as well. Remember, I was in Elementary School in the 80's, so age wasn't the inhibiting factor it is now.
  
  Ever seen the police photos of Tracy Gold after she got a DUI with her kids in the car? I think thesmokinggun has them.

Ooh I thought of another one. Jesse Spencer on House.

And John Leguizamo... although I'm not too sure why. Probably because he's an amazing actor and he played a drag queen in To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar... and it was believable.

  I hate to admit this, but John L. is one of the actors I actually can't watch if he's in a movie. I think it was the clown thing he played in one of those comic book movies. Sort of reminds me of Gilbert Godfried in a weird way.

He's the older brother of Julia Roberts. "Runaway Train" was pretty much his biggest movie. He was in "Pope of Greenwich Village", "Raggedy Man". He never became a really big star. But he's "edgy", so they say!

@ ThriftShopRomantic

I know! For some reason he is nearly always cast as a baddie in films, but he's still appealing. Here in the UK, he usually plays a good guy in tv stuff he does, it's weird that someone decided he should be evil. I suspect it's jealousy.

Have you seen him in Sharpe? In that, he wonders about with his shirt undone a lot. I watch it for the history and and drama, of course.
