DU Ladies - The Kucinich Sex Appeal - Please Explain

[absyntheNsugar]

OK...so I'm watching Dave with the wife and Dennis comes out to do the Top 10 List (something like "Top ten ways Kucinich could become president" - hilarious, and shows that Kucinich has a great sense of humor.)

Anyway, she made a comment that Kucinich was incredibly sexy. I've heard this from other Lefty Women - and saw this one woman at the Florida debates practically throw herself at him.

As a guy, I just don't get it. I mean great guy, wish he had a chance at the White House but sex appeal??? I know he was the only unmarried candidate but Jerry Brown never got this attention back in 91....

DU Women, please explain....

1. Um, geeze, I don't know.

I basically think he's a rather unappealing demagogue, but that's just my opinion.

[youngred]

4. unappealing demagogue eh?

lol, thanks for the chuckle

[cprise]

2. absynthe, allow me to introduce you

to the nuclear lobby on DU ^ ^ ^ ^

:eyes:

[absyntheNsugar]

3. I'm confused...please explain

Nuclear? Lobby? My head was right under the flight path of that jet...

6. While I personally don't find him particularly attractive...

I can see where some people might be drawn in by the fact that he comes across as very intense. He also has a kind of boyish look sometimes that some people find appealing.

Eh, what the hell do I know? :shrug:

[Oreegone]

5. He is yucky to me

Not a sexy guy whatsoever....looks like he needs a bath, a shave and a new wardrobe. Not to forget a new hair style.

[tigereye]

7. I know it's weird

but I had the same reaction. I had heard he was considered sexy by some... and when I saw him on Letterman, I thought, he's kind of cute!Hell if some can think Rumsfeld is a sex symbol ( too cagey and evil for me personally), why not Kucinich?

[cprise]

13. Sorry

That was a reference to NNadir.

[absyntheNsugar]

15. LOL...Big difference between Nadir and Kuch

For one, Kuch wants us to stop the Bush Administration after 4 years....

8. Dennis is appealing because he's original. It's that simple.

I love his belief in himself and his mission.
I love how he won't give up: it's not about winning; it's about getting his ideas out there.
I love his unassuming demeanor.
And yes, I love his smile. It melts my butter.

9. To me he seems innocent

yet he's smart and funny. Kinda goofy looking but sweet and well meaning. he comes across as very trainable (wink) (wink) if you know what I mean?

[camero]

10. Uh Oh

I look like him. Time to batten down the hatches. :crazy:

[sarahbellum]

11. this is where i throw up my hands in confusion.

[galadrium]

12. My girlfriend says he's cute

I don't know why... but that's women for ya.

[bhunt70]

14. maybe because he seems totally non threatening

[Madrone]

16. He's:

very intelligent

honest

sincere

compassionate

caring

tough

funny

informed

self-analyzing

open

willing to reevaluate his positions if shown new information

has conviction

spiritual

dedicated

What's not to like? He has tons of sex appeal - in all the best ways possible.
