Say Uncle posted a link to The 100 hottest women of all time and I looked at that list. Their #1 hottest is Jennifer Aniston, who to me looks worn out and stale. I commented that the majority of women on that list wouldn't be hot if they were running a fever.
Then I asked myself: Who IS hot?
And I realized that although Hollywood certainly collects a few women that are very attractive, their appeal is very one dimensional.
Hot to me is not about simple movie-beauty. It has not been that for me for a long time.
Hot isn't physical perfection. Hot is the entire woman, flaws and all. I know women whose flaws are hotter to me than the board-looking "Friends" actress. (I meant bored-looking, but she looks like a plank, too.)
I know a generous handful of women that in "Men's Health's" eyes wouldn't make the cut on their special list, but to me completely make my head spin. Beautiful women of real substance and character, not just women that can pretend/act that way. Women that need no public accolades to pretend to have worth. Real women. Women that live lives, not scripts.
I may not have 100, but the few that I have far outshine all of the ones on that list.

That's because you're a normal man, not a metrosexual yuppie wannabe. Real men take a look at the whole enchilada, not just the (in many cases) plastic wrap on the outside.
first, my friend - i applaud you for this post. and second - i am soooo with Midwest Chick who nailed it by saying you are not a "metrosexual yuppie wannabe"!
and again, i applaud you. and applaud you for being a "real" man. thanks for keeping it real, buddy!
your friend,
kymber
thanks for this. sometimes we women really struggle with 'perfection' stereotypes.
You realize sir, that the only response to this "list" is - "why my wife (significant other) is #1!!" Does you significant other know the combo to your weapons vault!?!?!?!?
Beauty is such an odd thing. It is so much more complex that simply physical. It changes over the years. There are periods of intensity - days when my wife is so beatuiful I ache. And days when the trials of life allow you to see a person's soul and you realize where true beauty lies.
I like calendars - I'm a guy. I love souls, they are where the true beauty resides.
Neither I or my wife would want her to be on such a meaningless list.
"Does you significant other know the combo to your weapons vault!?"
OUR vault.
But, yes, beauty resides in the soul, the spirit. Beauty lives in the kind touch and in the soft word. Beauty is there in the fight in her, in the passion for life.
Thank you MC, kymber, and MWC. Even "through" the internet obvious real woman qualities can't be hidden.
Marilyn Monroe. Brigid. Diana Rigg. I can go on, but won't.
I think my wife is hot, I don't care about anybody else. And yes she does know the combo.
That is an 'interesting' list... and I was going WTF more than once! There is a LOT more to a 'complete' woman than looks, but that didn't seem to get considered. And some of them don't deserve to be on ANY list (Hanoi Jane for one)...
Hubby and I looked at that list and had a nice laugh. Some of the pictures were actually quite scary looking. Hubby agrees with you; he thinks Jennifer Anniston looks worse than a dog.
Hubby agreed that a three-dimensional wife is hotter than a two-dimensional picture of a woman with a one-dimensional personality. Wise choice. I know he means it every time I do something seemingly innocuous and make his train of thought switch tracks.
The pictures did make me miss the waistline of younger years; I still really do need to work on my abs.
I can't imagine a woman more beautiful than my bride. In the still of the night that familiar touch is all I need.
Sexy is as much about attitude as it is looks. I have known some "plain Janes" who we're sexy as hell because of their attitude, smile and twinkle in their eye. Give me one of those women any day!
Clearly this list is bogus: Jennifer Connelly isn't on it.
