Actresses gay guys would consider beautiful that straight guys would not

Norma Shearer

Lucille Ball

G.

Chloë Sevigny

Linda Evangelista

Most very thin women.

Mary Pickford

zazu pitts

Mary Woronov

Meryl

Madam

Not one of these answers is correct. Nobody. Ever. Called. Tilda. Swinton. beautiful

Meryl was a bit pretty for about 3 years - never close to being beautiful. Ever.

My answer is Joan Crawford. She was monstrous and manly and malformed. But elder white gays call her beautiful?? So Strange.

Straight men view her as a severe statue head on a deformed pygmy. She was a slut and whore. A ballbuster. She gave good head but that don't make her pretty.

Does any straight guy (except her bf) find Taylor Swift attractive? She seems a bit sexless.

Tilda Swinton has been described as artistically beautiful.

R14, what does that mean?

Cate Blanchette owns this thread.

For someone so bawdy and sexual did any straight man back in the day find Mae West hot?

Joan Crawford

Angela Lansbury

R15 Finding Tilda Swinton beautiful is similar to admiring an abstract painting.

[quote] Nobody. Ever. Called. Tilda. Swinton. beautiful

Julie Andrews

Miss Suzanne Somers

[quote]R12 Nobody. Ever. Called. Tilda. Swinton. beautiful

She is. But I agree she’s a good choice for this category.

Derek Jarman found Tilda ravishing and she became his muse for many of his films.

Tilda is gorgeous, but in the way of true originality that terrifies cookie cutter queens — beauty isn’t necessarily “pretty”

There's an ugly lid for every holocaust victim, R26. Tilda Swinton is by no measure, be it classic, modern, iconoclastic or futuristic..... beautiful. She is the very definition of unfortunate and weak looking. Barren and brittle.

I do like the word ‘barren’.

It’s so final.

I feel like this thread is saying who is attractive by conventional standards that straight guys don’t find attractive?

If so, Tilda doesn’t qualify.

I feel like Joan Crawford is one.

I think Lady Gaga too. I’ve never met a straight guy who thought she was hot.

[quote] unfortunate and weak looking

I believe Swinton is 5’10”

R16 why would you say that? I follow most of these but I don’t necessarily agree with that one

Barbra Streisand

^ We have a winner!! ^

Audrey Hepburn was lovely to look at but in a way that appeals more to gay men than straight men.

[quote]r24 Miss Suzanne Somers

I think she’s the opposite. Straight men liked her but gays were like “?!?!?!?!?!”

Timothee Chalamet

A handsome woman.

Chrissy Metz

Nancy Kulp

Thelma Ritter

Neil Carter

Phyllis Diller

Divine

All those too sharp, non sexy, pretzel nose bitches. Candice Bergen, Christy Turlington, Dina Merrill.

I would say Bette Davis but not even the gays found her to be beautiful. No one did.

Everyone saying Joan Crawford is going by her image in the 50s and onward. In the 30s she was considered the most beautiful woman in the world and rightfully so. You can't judge her by how she looked in her 50s and older.

^^^Sadly, so true^^^

Joan Crawford was not beautiful in the 1930s either. Very photogenic head though. It's all on tape.

She was never thought to be the most beautiful woman in the world. That's just dumb. But it proves that ancient fags thought she was beautiful, when no real men ever did.

Audrey Hepburn was the very definition of brittle.

I think this category of women is ripe to include Lesbians who straight men would easily overlook, but Gay men would find interesting and intriguing and usually add the definitive of being “handsome” women. My choice is Cherry Jones.

Already the gays are posting early photos of Angela Lansbury on social media and commenting on how beautiful she was. She was a honorable actress, but the woman was in no way, shape or form beautiful.

Judy Garland

Liza Minelli

Bette Davis was never beautiful, but certainly a cutie when young. She had an appealing face and a good figure (that didn't hold up, unfortunately).

She had no shortage of attention from straight men in her early years, and then even into her 40s.

I find Tilda Swinton can be quite beautiful.

Whether some queen on a gay gossip board validates that aesthetic reaction is completely uninteresting and irrelevant to me.

So, YES: at least one gay man (and others, as this thread indicates) finds Tilda Swinton beautiful. She fits this category. Beauty is subjective.

I was surprised to see Candice Bergen mentioned here. She was stunning in her younger years and her looks held up for a very long time. She's had health and weight issues in recent years.

I think straight and gay men would respond to her looks favorably.

Candice Bergen was considered a hottie by straight men back in the day.

Well, these are singers who've acted, but Cher and Dolly Parton. I'm referring to when they got older, and started to look more campy than beautiful. Most straight guys wouldn't consider them beautiful today, but so many gay guys still would.

Maybe it’s the Scottishish, but Annie Lennox to me has many similar qualities to Tilda Swinton and I think is exquisitely beautiful.

Madonna

[quote]R42 In the 30s Joan Crawford was considered the most beautiful woman in the world and rightfully so.

No. That was easily Greta Garbo.

Joan Crawford was very beautiful (to me) up until around 1939 when her styling changed. She was still fairly young then but began to look more severe.

Bette Davis had a unique beauty when very young, but it didn't last very long.

Of the two I would say Joan held the body and face together longer, but neither was probably considered sexy after the mid 1940s by straight men.

I disagree with those saying Garbo more beautiful than Crawford. Maybe she was after Joan's styling changed, but by then she wasn't really in the public eye.

[quote] For someone so bawdy and sexual did any straight man back in the day find Mae West hot?

Hot? Sure! She was a sex symbol, after all. Beautiful? Doubtful, but then again optometry probably wasn’t as refined and effective back then as it is today.

[quote] Well, these are singers who’ve acted, but Cher and Dolly Parton. I’m referring to when they got older, and started to look more campy than beautiful. Most straight guys wouldn’t consider them beautiful today, but so many gay guys still would.

In Dolly’s case she could look like the Crypt Keeper and it wouldn’t matter. Her [italic]soul[/italic] is beautiful, and it shines through to everyone she meets.

Dolly was hotter to men than Cher, she had perfect curves even when she was on the thicker side.

Gay men found me irresistible.

And then they married me.

I don't think most 21st-century straight guys would consider '50s/'60s-era Elizabeth Taylor hot. She had big boobs, but she was short, stumpy, and matronly looking.

[quote]I disagree with those saying Garbo more beautiful than Crawford.

What? I'd say Garbo was the most beautiful of that generation.

Elsa Lanchester. One of them married her.

R61, in what era would they have found her hot in then?

I disagree anyways. She had very soft and feminine features and straight men like those types of features on women.

Kim Kardashian is built similarly to her (except Kim has a bigger ass) and has a long and skinny horse-face and is considered attractive to many straight men.

Liz Taylor is like a hetero man’s dream girl - big tits, little waist, pretty face.

…shrill voice…

Barbra

R65, agreed 100%!

[quote]r40 All those too sharp, non sexy, pretzel nose bitches. Candice Bergen, Christy Turlington, Dina Merrill.

Candice Bergen had NO trouble getting men in her youth, and beyond. Her entire fame was built on her classic American blonde looks.

Her breasts were fairly small, but other than that she was what everyone wanted. In real life I think she had her pick of suitors because she has a down-to-earth, almost goofy personality that relaxes people.

Hall of Fame

Hilary Clinton

^ The hell you say.

Demi Moore

Judy Garland

R52 she had a pretty bad out of shape body for someone that young (not even 25). But very pretty yes.

Bergen was like a beautiful statue. I have no doubt she got whatever guys she wanted (like Christy or Audrey) but she wasn’t number one on the straight man lust list. Especially with contemporaries like Raquel Welch or Jane Fonda.

R75 Are you a manorexic?

R13 She has a very rodent looking face, but str8 guys are dumb. If the media tells them she's hot shit they believe it

I must be the only one who thought that at their respective peaks, Bette Davis was prettier than Joan Crawford . She had a softness to her that Joan never had.

Taylor Swift has very much the girlfriend face. If a guy is only into tits and ass - she's not his choice but she's very understandable as the kind of woman that straight men are attracted for a serious girlfriend. She's pretty has nice lips, blue eyes,long legs, great skin, blonde hair and a great speaking voice. What's not to like? She's not a rat face.

Judy Garland was a wild eyed rodent with some kind of ferret nose kind scary looking rat face. Her lips were weirdly full and flabby for her small face. No definition to her features.

Streisand - let's not bother to categorize. She's a two bagger for straight men. A great fuckable body when she was young. Her early porn films prove this.

Parker Posey

Straight men found Madonna hot in the 80's and early 90's

CHER aka Share STOLE this thread

Babs had a great body. Well proportioned with great T&A. I actually believe that she got all those hot guys in the sack when she was young. Her face was also genuinely pretty when she had a more natural makeup look like in "What's Up Doc?"

No. Fuckable and not pretty is as far as you can go R84. If Barbaric looked so good natural - why are there no photos of her without a ton of makeup? Bitch was brave to wear turbans and looked ridiculous. A face like that needs a frame of hair. And two bags. She's a sow's ear. With two bags on her head and hundreds of millions of dollars, she was fuckable. Like many ugly girls she gives great head and takes in up the ass.

Barbara gave great head in her porn films too. She loved being fucked. Wearing a ton of makeup.

Sarah Paulson.

R86 She of the handsome lesbian actresses that gay men find of interest and straight men won’t - see Cherry Jones post above.

Speak of the above, I bet it was the Gay men who were swooning over Sarah Bernhardt in the 19th century.

[quote]R72 Demi Moore

Are you serious? The careers of women like Moore, Basinger and Bergen were all launched because they specifically appealed to men. It wasn’t their “acting.”

[quote]r80 Judy Garland was a wild eyed rodent with some kind of ferret nose kind scary looking rat face. Her lips were weirdly full and flabby for her small face. No definition to her features.

Judy was one of the most talented singers ever. She also had a lot of pain and struggle throughout her life. Despite that, she had a good heart, which is hard to encounter in Hollywood. At a time when gay people were oppressed beyond belief, they identified with her struggles and she theirs.

Someone on this board just called Molly Ringwald transcendentally beautiful, so I’m throwing her name in the ring. I can see her being an “attainable” celebrity crush, but not really someone a hetero guy would fantasize about.

I would call Molly more tumescently beautiful, than transcendent.

R22 She still has that Tildaness go her eyes look at her. Cuter than her daughter (gulp) who looks mongoloid. Plus this is Cynthia Nixon

Mother Coleman err Goldman

R91 To be fair the presumably straight John Hughes was obsessed with her. On that note, I never understood why so many praised his movies. I found them to be very banal.

[quote] [R22] She still has that Tildaness go her eyes look at her. Cuter than her daughter (gulp) who looks mongoloid. Plus this is Cynthia Nixon

This probably sounded better in the original Esperanto.

Tilda Swinton is like a high fashion model after the supermodel era. Regal enough, but not jaw droppingly pretty enough to distract from the clothes. Id lump her in that group with Stella Tennant.
