SEXIEST? OF ALL TIME?

Readers of Men's Health magazine recently voted Jennifer Aniston "sexiest woman of all time".

What?

Of. All. Time?

I can only assume that readers of Men's Health are seriously near-sighted, or have no knowledge of anything that went on before their own puberty.

Jennifer is an attractive gal, some men are very likely to see her as sexy, she doesn't seem intimidating, can be funny - has a nice sense of timing, seems like a fun person to be around, and is not yer run-of-the-mill cardboard cut-out Hollywood glam-puss.

But - of all time?

Of course, in any silly poll (all polls are silly really) it depends who you ask. Go ask the readers of Smithsonian magazine the same question and note the different result!

Is there an astrological recipe for sexiness? Not an overall recipe. Sexy is in the eye of the beholder, and each beholder has a different astro-map with a different "true north" to determine sexy. Astrologers hold that Scorpio is the sex-cat of the zodiac, yet read any astrology message board and see a different story. I guess for a person to be truly sexy, for some strange reason they have to seem a wee bit dangerous. Scorpio-heavy people do have that dangerous-feel in their astro-tool-kit. Jennifer Aniston has Mars (Scorpio's traditional ruler) conjunct Neptune (planet of illusion) in Scorpio, as it happens. Sexy astro-branding? (See her chart at Astrodatabank)

As a member of the female sex, I can't possibly know what men find sexy, other than the stereotypical recipe of big boobs, good legs, long hair - none of which I've ever possessed myself, so I might have a tainted opinion of that kind of "sexy".

My own "true north" of sexiness in men is hard to describe. A sexy guy has to be able to string a decent sentence together, good writers are always sexy, as is any kind of artistic or musical ability. Brains are sexy. Compassion is sexy. Adventure is sexy. Wit is sexy. Enthusiasm is sexy. A deep voice is sexy.

Good looks are not necessarily sexy, though I do enjoy looking at a beautiful male face, such as Simon Baker's or Tom Selleck's (but don't find them exactly sexy - they are simply very nice-looking, and both named seem like very nice guys).
