Well I would say we did a pretty good job saving the cheerleader. Now we are on to Alison Brie from Community. She's one of my favorites and I know she is a favorite of many others on here. So might have seen her on Mad Men as well, but that is about it.

Sooooo hot.

What I wouldn't do to her.

Cute but not hot per se.

I don't like brunettes.

What Bug said.

Kind of plain when she's not all made up.

She's too young for me.

I like the other one better.

I could watch that picture all day.

Overplayed.

Let's call it 75% and bring on the next one.

I find her very attractive, but she just doesn't quite fit my own perception of what the word "hot" conveys. That pic of her in the tank top and pulling on it is very hot, but that's it. In fact, I'd say the best pic I've seen of her is the last one Dan posted (gray and black dress). She looks very pretty in that one (and is the only pic where she doesn't look like she has a pound of make up on her face).

But not "Hot". (*Insert explanation that "Hot" does not usually beat out all other adjectives used to describe a woman's appearance, like "cute" or "beautiful", to me.*)

She's pretty much the first person I think of when you talk about dateable hot, take home to Mom, and yet a little on a the sexually dirty side type of mold. It's more you want to date her versus her being flat out hot. I still voted hot and knew I would as soon as she was nominated.

From the neck up is seriously hurting the appeal from the neck down. Her head is so out of proportion that it almost looked like it was 'shopped into place.

Head is a little big, but I thought similar with Hayden. Though I thought hers was more wide than tall...almost like the "alien" shape where it is wide at the top but comes to a point at the chin.

I voted yes, but the more I look the more the face bugs me. I'm not sure why. My wife is a brunette, I normally have a thing for brunettes...but this one is making me wish I said no. Just a feeling.

Edit: I blame it on the spanking picture.

I think the problem with Hot or Not Hot on this board is the geek factor. It seems too often in these threads, the quirky girls from TV shows/movies get way more votes because of the characters they play in the show/movie.

She's not hot. Ain't even close.

Why not? 1-10, what do you rate her face? Now, what do you rate her body?

Perhaps you're on to something here, but in my case I've never seen Ms. Brie's shows and I find her to be groin-meltingly hot.

I haven't watched Community and only have seen her in Mad Men where she hasn't stood out from what I have seen(season 1). I still voted hot.

I'm kinda shocked at this. I've been seeing that bouncey picture all over the place for months not knowing who she was. Expected her to jump to the 90s and stay there because of that. Although maybe the opposite. Maybe it's a "stop trying to shove someone down our throat" not vote. And hearing myself actually say that um...I'm starting to sweat...

If you visit certain websites when Community is on, it's like they can't stop showing pictures, gifs, and clips of her. It gets really annoying to the point I kind of go through an anti-Brie phase.

Hotness is broken down into requisite parts. That's trying to rationalize away a woman's weaknesses by trying to show she has strengths somewhere else. Hotness simply is or isn't.

See, this is another one of those, "What does hot mean to you?

While not exclusive, when I think of pretty, beautiful, and cute, I'm more then likely considering the facial features in the package. But, when I'm out, and I point out a girl is hot, or a buddy mentions a chick being hot, 9 times out of 10 I'm not even considering the face. To me, hot is a bangability factor. You could have an ugly face but a perfect body and I'd happily call you hot and want to sleep with the chick at the same time.

I graduated from high school with a girl who would make you reword that. :lol: It was typical for guys to say her last name with it sounding like a dog was howling. Even as a person who tends to be kind in describing people, her face was a beta tester for the ugly stick. I did see her on FB recently and wondered if by some miracle chance her face caught up to the rest of her. Um...she did not age well. At all.

Ya, that's what I think of as hot too, but I think a lot of people require some kind of emotional connection - like someone can be a 10, but if they don't have a crush on them, they're not "hot". I've always thought of the word as being more broad. I don't have to be personally attracted to someone, I don't have to have butterflies in my stomach or whatever to recognize that they're hot. Woman do that with each other all the time, they can recognize when their female friends are hot, or sexy, without having a personal, emotional, romantic, or physical connection. Heck, I could recognize that a dude is hot.

Michael Jordan's a great basketball player. If you disagree, you're just wrong. I look at hottness the same way. It's a little more difficult to quantify looks + sexiness + talent + etc than basketball skill, so there's a little more room for disagreement. But I still think that's what hot is, it's not whether you have special personal feelings for someone.

JonInMiddleGA

I don't have to have butterflies in my stomach or whatever to recognize that they're hot.

I don't disagree with this general take on "hotness" BUT one of my criteria is something along the lines of "is my first take consistently 'oh yeah, for days on end'".

One of the things that sways me to No votes frequently is when I find some other gut reaction consistently competing with that general line of thought. In this case "damn, her head is the wrong size for her body" and "damn, pity the face don't match the body" are at least equally prominent. I literally have a hard time getting past those things to get to the body without trying ... hence my No vote.

Big bouncy sloppy boobs do nothing to enhance a contestants hot or notness. She would be much much closer to hotness if they were Bs or Cs.

Nah. I just have my own set of high standards on who gets my hot vote. It's the 'whole package' thing for me. If I think something isn't up to snuff, she doesn't get my hot vote. Just because a candidate doesn't get my hot vote, it doesn't mean I think others are making a mistake by voting them hot. They just have different standards than I do. No biggie.

Unfortunately, there's only two choices...hot or not. If there was a 3rd choice, I think most of these women would get that 3rd choice. Of course, I assume that 3rd choice would be something along the lines of cute/pretty/sexy, etc...

Do you have similar standards in your regular life? Like, would you never be able to consider a girlfriend "hot" unless she blew away all the girls on California beaches, etc. (I think that was one of your previous "no" explanations, that a particular celebrity would just be an ordinary girl where you lived).

I do not have similar standards in real life. It's already hard enough for me to get laid and putting up roadblocks to that, is not in my best interests. Plus, baring some strange twist of riches and celebrity that would befall me, I think there's a better chance of the Beatles getting back together than me actually dating one of these women. I see these hot or not votes as not much more than entertainment. Kind of like, if you were stuck on an island and you can only have 3 things, type of thing...I'm going to be more picky.

Getting laid is something different, we all have much lower standards there, but would your "hot or not" determination be different if it was women you knew or could date? Or is there a different scale for celebrities (even if you've never heard of them before they're posted here)? Like all these people that point out flaws in these celebrities, do they think their girlfriends/wives are hot?

Edit: I know I'm in the minority here, I think I've voted hot every time (except for Kathy Griffin I think). So I very well may not be doing it right, or just have a completely different perspective. I just see a lot of hot chicks. I don't have special crushes on them or anything, but they look like hot chicks to me.

I have to admit, for me at least, I do have a different scale for celebrities when it comes to the hot or not thread. I also try to not let their personality get in the way of my voting. That only leaves me with their outside appearance and I'm going to be more critical than I normally would be. Outside the thread, my irrational scaling of a woman's hotness or notness is pretty much the same across the board, but, personality plays a huge role. It's easy to point out someones flaws, especially in a thread like this. Does it translate to how someone feels about their wife/gf? I have no idea since everyone is different.

That's just it, I think there is no wrong answer or wrong way to do it. I don't think anyone is wrong either, when they vote not. When I point out why I didn't vote hot, that's nothing more than my rationalization as to why they didn't earn my hot vote, not that I think anyone is wrong. I also think the banter back and forth is fun too as long as it isn't mean spirited.

I don't think you're doing it wrong, molson. I think everyone has different definitions of what they find hot.

Natalie Portman got 86%, but I wouldn't vote hot for her. She doesn't have the body type that I consider to be hot. I prefer women with some meat on their bones in most cases. Mila Kunis is a good exception for me. She's very skinny, but her face and the fact that she has an exotic look to me makes her hot in my book.

Everyone just has their own definition of hot. Poppy Montgomery is another good example. I think she's pretty damn hot and would put her higher than a lot of the ones with the high percentages in these polls and she didn't fair very well with the masses here.

I believe everyone has their own tastes, opinions, etc.

My opinion is this is the hottest picture on the internet. It is also my opinion that if you don't agree with me, you must like penis.

Her eyes are creepy, and I don't find her that all pretty. Then again, I don't find Kate Upton "hot" either.

Nah. I just have my own set of high standards on who gets my hot vote. It's the 'whole package' thing for me. If I think something isn't up to snuff, she doesn't get my hot vote. Just because a candidate doesn't get my hot vote, it doesn't mean I think others are making a mistake by voting them hot. They just have different standards than I do. No biggie.

Unfortunately, there's only two choices...hot or not. If there was a 3rd choice, I think most of these women would get that 3rd choice. Of course, I assume that 3rd choice would be something along the lines of cute/pretty/sexy, etc...

I agree with this and probably take it a step further. There are probably hundreds of millions of girls that can get dressed/glammed up and walk into a room and get noticed. For me, it has to be better than that (like get on a stage and be a hot rocker chick). For those chicks that some think are hot because they showed their tits and asses on TV/movie, those are dime are dozen and most of them don't know how to act hot. So it has to be more than just dressing sexy or showing T&A.

Yes, definitely sounds like we are pretty close in thinking on this. I'm just more picky/strict on who gets my hot vote than I would in every day real life. I don't need to see boobs or ass to tell if she's hot or not. Although, tight fitting clothes are always nice. :)

Someone might have said this (and I long ago voted hot on her), but I just got through watching all 4 seasons of Mad Men. She is sooooo hot on that show.

Since we're talking opinion, I don't beleve the word hottest means what you think it does.

I was part way through season one and I'm not seeing it yet. I might have to get back to at least finishing the season. The show is decent, but it doesn't really grab me either.

Season 1 is probably worth finishing, the rest get very soapy & lost me pretty quickly. Some very fine moments after that (there's a death in the office scene that's probably the most spot-on moment about advertising ever filmed) but too much meh for me to stick around for them

Please don't bag on MM. I came in with pretty low expectations, but it has such a buzz around it I thought I'd give it a try. I am so hooked now. The soapy parts aside, just the true representation of the time period is so fascinating. So many shows have tried to pull it off, and they just don't "get it" like MM does. Like:

1. Most shows will put the characters right in the middle of major news events of the day, whereas MM just allows the characters react to them in the way most people living at the time did. The closest this show came to doing it was Pete Campbell's dad dying on the first major jet crash. But that came about because the actor playing the role died in an accident right before that episode, so it was sort of organic. But no one was suddenly in Dallas when Kennedy was shot. No one was caught in the embargo when the Cuban missile crisis happened, etc. Other shows do this and it is so silly.

2. Having nearly the whole office campaigning for Nixon because it was good for their business, and showing that Kennedy barely and questionably won that election, instead making him the paragon and everyone for Nixon be the villain with a cape.

3. Dealing with the casual racism/sexism of the day without having some character with a more modern moral compass judging everyone and putting them in their place. There isn't single character that is a member of the KKK, or really hates women. But they all show the social racism of the day in the way it would be. And the sexist attitudes are rampant. Yet, Peggy is probably the most progressive character and she is not even that progressive. Most shows would have a character way more advanced morally and socially being the judge and jury about everything that happens. This show just portrays "this was what it was."


I will admit the story-lines gets soapy. I will say they do a good job subverting expectations. They do a good job of showing the consequences of a hard life, without getting to zen on punishing bad actions (drink too much, you get the hangover. Screw someone over, and you don't always get punished for it. Heck, you get rewarded sometimes). The characters are real and complex, though especially the Don storyline is a little over the top in the secret identity thing. Overall, I just find it by far the best period piece I've ever seen on tv, and definitely the best showing that time-frame.

Well put, GD. I love how Mad Men just allows the show to exist in its time period, rather than have the actors "make history".

Oh, and even Don's secret identity is handled well and you can believe that story.

So does Mad Men, probably more so than most shows.

Really? Who? I can't think of a character on the show that is more socially advanced than the time. Heck, Peggy dislikes Swedish people (because the Norwegian and the Swedes had an animosity at the time, and maybe even now. IDK). Give a character and example.
