The One With That Certain 'Quality'

What Works for YOU???

Anyone with half a brain should have watched 'Friends' at some point in their life (no offense if you haven't... but you really should!). There's an episode at some point where everyone decides that Chandler (Matthew Perry) has a certain 'quality' that makes people think that he's gay. We (george and i, not matthew perry and i :P) were talking and decided that many people have a 'quality' - not always one that makes us think they're gay though. Rather, a quality is something that makes a person attractive. For example, in the ever important McDreamy Vs. McVet debate, we both are gunning for McDreamy, simply because he has a quality! An undefinable, blurry around the edges, impossible to define or explain quality. A perfectly valid reason in our books!

While some people have a quality that everyone agrees on - like Chandler - other people have qualities that are dependant on taste. I could say pretty confidently that my buddy Freckles thinks Johnny Depp has a certain quality, but i don't really see it (before you freak out, i don't think he's THAT bad). I think Sean Astin has a quality! But veeeery few people agree with that. It all comes down to taste.

On a similar line of thought, we were talking about what makes a guy attractive and obviously it's different things for everyone... although one of my mates and i do tend to like the exact same guys, which can be rather demoralising for me!! Lol, don't worry hun, you know i love you :P Anyway, we were talking about the fact that some guys are totally hot and everyone agrees. Brad Pitt, Colin Firth, Jake Gyllenhaal... you know the type. Then, there are the people that we find amazingly gorgeous, but nobody else agrees. People like Sean Astin, Alexis, Bon Jovi, John Mayer... (sorry roz and ayles). I'm sure it's the same for guys - though correct me if i'm wrong!

Eventually, it was decided that a person didn't have to be particuarly good looking for one find them incredibly attractive. For example; the sleaze. Not a perfectly fabulous guy in the opinion of many... However, one of the girls finds him incredibly attractive - depsite our howls of protest :P Example two: slightly emo, guitar-playing, love-the-sound-of-my-own-voice, sandals with jeans guy (henceforth known as the EmoBandGuy) is hot, no doubt about it. However, some girls find him amazing in general - while others of us just admire his hotter physical qualities :P

I'm tired, so i'm not exactly sure what my point is (which seemingly is the case more and more often these days...) but i think i'm talking about how interesting it is to see people's opinions on what is hot and what's not change so dramatically. Plus, the fact that it seems to be a certain 'quality' that determines things. I know which qualities i look for :P but i am apparently in a minority in many of my choices! I sooo can't understand how... In my opinion, i have impeccable tastes!!!
