chairdriver Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 A friend asked me: "Who are you attracted to?". I sensed he was meaning in broad terms rather than me naming specific friends (we don't have THAT many mutual friends), so I was like, well... and I thought, nothing jumping to my mind immediately. He prompted me to think of celebrities, himself giving the example of Audrey Tautou, and I saw what he was getting at, given he's seen Amelie millions of times, and has a picture of her on the ceiling above his bed. He explained that it wasn't just that she "is hot" or whatever, there's a proper pulling force and he's a enamoured by everything about her. I didn't give him an answer because I was indecisive/ I was bored / we were interrupted, but I've been thinking about it since. There are very few people in life I'm fiercely attracted to. There are people I think are hot, or are cute, there are models/porn stars I think are sexy, but gems are few and far between. I was fiercely attracted to the first guy I loved, at 17. It felt like he redefined some aspect of my outlook on life or something. Like everything was different and new. I couldn't stop looking at him, I couldn't stop marvelling at every single one of his movements and mannerisms. Like there was something more than "he's fit". There was aspects of his personality on anyone else I'd hate, but I managed to overlook them, or convince myself I liked them. Everyone else was nothing. That's kinda faded now / I'm over it, mostly because it wasn't going to go anywhere so I kinda tore myself away and forgot. ANYWAY, I saw Heartbeats last week, and I'm now infatuated with one of the actors (he's also the director) Xavier Dolan. (The photos annoy me, looking at them, because he looks like a bit of a twat / he's better animated). I found the movie really emotionally engaging/distressing, and pretty *stunning*, and thought it was great -- but most people I've spoken to who've also seen it didn't think it was that good. The more I dwell on it, the more I feel the reason I thought the film was so good, and why I was so engrossed with it is because I've fallen in love with him. He's so sad throughout the film, I just want to stand with him on a bridge, and hug him and let him cry into my shoulder. Or something. It's weird. There's definitely a really powerful reaction within me. Sorry for the long post, I just wanted to share my thoughts/feelings / write stuff down. Is anyone else fiercely attracted to other persons? If it's a celebrity maybe you can say who and why?
The Peeps Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 Good thread... I find myself attracted to most girls that pass by me and they all pretty much pass me by. I could list famous people I'm attracted to but it wouldn't be any different from any other typical male list so I'll avoid that. There's not currently anyone I'm obsessed with which is rather nice but it does leave me feeling a bit empty. There are people I find attractive and wouldn't mind going out with but no one I'm truly infatuated with.
Daft Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 Xavier Dolan. He's such a talented little bastard. /envy
The Bard Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 At the moment, nobody. I am on a rampant crusade for sexual gratification that is probably best left unhindered by any considerations beyond superficial sexual attraction. Although, Natalie Portman. She is my everything.
bryanee Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 Erm I have a thing for that Kirsty Allsop bird. Oh and Nigella, mmmm Nigella. In terms of women who arent celebs I dont really have a particular taste. If I like some one I like some one. I'm not really interested in relationships right now though, havent been since my last relationship ended 5 years ago. But If I meet that one girl who loves video games and DC Comics as much as me then god damn I'll pounce.
Magnus Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 I've sort of developed a crush recently, and it's really annoying. Life is easier when you're dead inside (or at least when you're not obsessing over someone). :p My current celebrity obsession is Chord Overstreet, for some reason. I feel like this post pales in comparison to Chair's, but eh.
MadDog Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 Guess. I have a huge man crush on Ashton Kutcher at the moment.
Frank Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 (edited) It is a really funny thing to be so infatuated and intrigued by another person. It is the oddest of feelings. Everything changes. Your mind becomes directed by their being & your own self becomes, sort of, lost in a way. I'm amused how it can be the most horrid of feelings at present yet when it's not there, it's missed. There is a feeling, well for me at least, that I feel less without it. Perhaps I like the concept of being so passionate. I can honestly admit that there is nobody that I'm intrigued with at present. I've, of course, been obsessed (the perfect word) with actors & other famous people such as Farley Granger Rami Malek But it fades. I'm much more obsessed with real-life people. Celebrities are far too distant. It hasn't happened for a while but..like you mentioned..you act in awe each time they do something that it feels they've no flaws. It's a scary place to be and I'm grateful I'm not in that zone presently. Edited December 27, 2011 by Frank
Caris Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 I've always had a sweet spot for @ipaul but I'm too embarrassed to tell him.
MoogleViper Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 I would say Summer Glau, but to be honest it's more like River Tam. And of course, the absolutely amazing Lisa Hannigan. Anyone that needs an explanation of 'why' doesn't deserve to live on this planet. Also am I the only one who read the title and though that FliNk and Eenuh were in some sort of love triangle with chair? I've always had a sweet spot for @ipaul but I'm too embarrassed to tell him. Nrape?
Coolness Bears Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 Nosepass. B E A U T Y. I may just be being pulled in by his magnetic nose though! Currently: Michelle Williams.
Ashley Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 He explained that it wasn't just that she "is hot" or whatever, there's a proper pulling force and he's a enamoured by everything about her. I suppose if we're going by this it's Kristen Bell. It's a personality crush as much as anything. She's a vegetarian animal lover with a tendency to be goofy. I'd imagine I'd get on so well with her. Someone I know interviewed her recently, was uber jealous. Although I am fiercely attracted to someone in real life at the moment.
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 There are some celebrities that I have more than the standard "good-looking celebrity" attraction to, like the Danish actress Julie Zangenberg that my friend got me a poster of. Others include Ellen Page, Natalie Portman and Anne Hathaway. Of people I actually know, there's still an old, lingering crush that I'm trying my darnedest to get rid of, and then there's the girl on my course that I can't deny feeling attracted to, but with whom I don't know if a relationship would work.
Pancake Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 (edited) Nathan from Misfits. The character. Such a vivacious little shit! I don't know if i fancy him, or want to be like him. If i'd never seen the show and just seen a picture of him, i probably wouldn't have looked twice. But as the episodes go on, his personality just enhances his attractiveness. And then you realise how stunningly attractive he actually is. Those eyebrows.... *swoon* (SURELY he's a secret same sex crush for many a straight man too. He's that type-ah guy!) Edited December 27, 2011 by Pancake
Rummy Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 In a totally non-homo way, it'd probably have to be this guy;
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 Oh, yeah, an obvious celebrity crush I forgot ... Selena Gomez. There's just something about her ...
Hamishmash Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 Nathan from Misfits. The character. Such a vivacious little shit! I don't know if i fancy him, or want to be like him.

And then you realise how stunningly attractive he actually is. Those eyebrowys.... *swoon* (SURELY he's a secret same sex crush for many a straight man too. He's that type-ah guy!) I'm more of a Iwan Rheon man myself. I get seriously attracted to men who make me laugh. I dunno if it's half "I want to be them" though, cos a lot of it is that. But I have weird crushes. I like agressive, slightly unbearable men like Charlie Brooker and Giles Coren. And then Russell Tovey, Tim Key... jeez the list is long. My usual response to this question is Paul Rudd though. He's not my ideal or anything, he's just in loads of flippin awful movies but always seems to be the best thing in it or at the very least flawlessly beautiful. I'm kind of into blokey, scruffy types I guess. My boyfriend's a bit of a bear so I guess that explains it. Oh... and the O2 fawn person played by Jim Howick...
Raining_again Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 (edited) I am fiercely attracted to someone, it is however rather annoying.. We're very different yet, we're so so similar in others... I think there is a spark too but wether or not he thinks so is something i'm too scared to ask ha ha. It feels like a magnet. One side completely repels and can never touch, and the other can't stay away. Some days I think hes totally into me, then next its GAH GO AWAY WIMMEN. Well actually I say days....probably minutes lol It would never work because its very likely that we'd murder each other before a week was over.. edit: the odd thing is im not hugely attracted to him looks wise, but he has a smile, and eyes, that just melt my heart.... i'm well and truly hooked!!! Argh!! Edited December 27, 2011 by Raining_again
Magnus Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 Guess. I'd say... probably the red-haired girl in your avatar or the football guy in your signature. Or ReZ.
Debug Mode Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 For people I actually know, there's one girl that I've just gotten along with so well since the start of my Japanese course even though we're completely different. Always got a boy friend, always seems to like the Asian guys and she's now out on her placement in Japan this year. All these reasons combined means I've never told her and probably will never tell her. But hey, I haven't told a girl outright that I'm interested in them for years.. But in regards to people I don't know... FUUUUUUUU! After seeing a couple of images of this chick (Kota Morgue?) around the web, I can definitely say that this is my type of girl. For now. I go in phases of types of girls when their personalities that I don't know.
MoogleViper Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 In a totally non-homo way, it'd probably have to be this guy; Is that... erm... wait... ...what?
Magnus Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 Is that... erm... wait... ...what? You could do a lot worse than Rummy, Moogle.
nightwolf Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 Different strokes for different folks dear. I can't say I'm very attracted to anyone at the moment, I find intelligence really helps, I seem to find people such as Hugh Laurie and Mark Sheppard attractive at the moment, but more for the acting roles they have.. Otherwise: Only in the movies mind you. I think it's suits, a man in a suit seems to be very attractive, specially if it's well fitted. I want to be her rather than sleep with her.
Debug Mode Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 Jesus Christ, that is an awesome shade of blue for her hair.
nightwolf Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 Jesus Christ, that is an awesome shade of blue for her hair. I've had pretty much the same shade, because of her, just not all over. I'm surely tempted when my hair grows out properly if I stay with Spotify as they like coloured hair, but it's so much upkeep. She's pretty much my fashion idol, now you can see why.
