Kate Upton might make a good blow up doll (actually, are we sure she's human?), but I'd much rather fuck Tina Fey and it's not even remotely close.

But isn't the reason you think one is so much better at conversations than the other is because one is hotter? Wearing glasses doesn't necessarily mean you can hold a conversation.

Tina is known for being smart and witty and I have seen her SNL sketches. Kate makes my brain cells die whenever I hear her speak. Even if I were to desire Tina more, neither rank that high. Kate is a supermodel with a youthful personality, overly large breasts, and that's about it. I almost feel like being asked if a supermodel is hot is a loaded question. The whole point of a supermodel is to be considered hot. Tina Fey's point isn't to be on the cover of SI in a swimsuit.

TV writers can be witty but they're not necessarily the most sociable people ever. She's created a brand like any other celebrity. She wears glasses and writes but she's not necessarily going to laugh at your jokes or give you the time of day, despite the brand that's sold. Kate might have a way of relating to people personally that Fey could never possess, we don't know these people. All I'm saying is I'm trying to understand a definition of "hot" where Tina is hotter than Kate. Tina could be more desirable to a person, someone might have a crush on her, she may trick us into thinking she's more "gettable" which makes some desire her more, some may be turned on my her writing talent or sense of humor. But I think that all goes into the personal connection stuff I was talking about in the other thread. Hot is hot. I think. Or I could be wrong.

I stick by my no vote. As our photo threads points out, it's not hard to find a photo of a really hot person when they've been done up for a particular shoot. Upton is double take worthy when she's in photo shoot form...and I have no doubt that the calls for vote changes have something to do with her huge tracks of land. However, I look at that video of her dancing at a ball game. There, at least in my opinion, she looks like any other attractive blond. In the end, it comes down to individual taste. Put our hot or not list on a different website and I doubt we'd see the same results.

Meh, I can see the 'individual taste' theory. But, I'd have wagered (and lost) alot of money - if this was tossed on my plate :

176 people were asked if Kate Upton is hot. 50 said no, she's not hot. True or False ?

It just goes to prove that each HON needs to have a gif or movie at the very least. Sometimes the pics don't do it, facial expressions, mannerisms or just the sensuality of the way they move makes all the difference in the world.

I'm often perplexed by people's votes, but I dont' get this, DT. Clearly a larger percentage of people here find Hayden attractive than Kate. Why does that mean the polls are broken? I think it just means people don't think what you think they think.

I find Panettiere miles and miles more attractive than Upton.

To me Upton looks like a 2 x 4 with two jelly donuts nailed on.

This one really baffled me. I think it was a combination of a few poor pics posted early in the thread and a sentiment that she was too young. i've voted no on a couple of nominees since just to spite Kate's nay sayers.

Within like 10 minutes a video was posted and some decent looking pics were added. Again, fantastic pair of overly large breasts and that's about it for me.

That looking too young stuff can't really fly anymore. Hayden is 22 and Kate is 19. Who looks older? Look carefully before you answer.

Her breasts are actually her worst quality. They look like she stole them from someone else's body. And her whole demeanor and appearance just seems so fake. Tina Fey is insanely more attractive even if you don't account for personality. Also, the big injustice isn't that Kate lost to Tina, but that Kate beat Christina Hendricks.

And she just naturally always looks like she's trying to hard to "act" like she is hot. Sorry but girl acting and expecting everyone to think she is hot isn't hot as a girl that doesn't. Kate lost.

I'm now going to say the same thing to anyone that doesn't like baseball. If you don't like baseball you are gay. Because that is a perfectly logical assumption.

Okay? I love breasts as much as the next guy, but not when they are so wildly out of proportion to the body.

FWIW - my comment wasn't based on her breasts. I'm actually not a fan of hers - I'd also agree that they're overly large for her body. But I think even taking that out of the equation she is still smoking hot...definitely hotter than Tina Fey or HP.

I don't think "ability to pull off a conversation" should be a factor in "hot or not" voting.

this isn't "marry/fuck/kill" or "who would i like to go on a date with?" it's "Hot" or "Not."

Hot=Who would I like to bend over and absolutely rail until my dick fell off from overuse, not "Who would I like to hold a conversation with."

Women are hotter when their mouths are shut. That's just a fact (and yes, coming from a pseudo-feminist like me that's an incredibly misognyistic statement, and this is a pretty sexist post).

If you want to separate the two when defining who is hot then by all means do so. For some of us, we don't.

I still think that external factors like that should be excluded from the conversation, or at least mostly discounted.* Like something from those sites where you put a pic up of everyday people and vote on hot or not (amihotornot.com? was that it?). See pics of woman, vote accordingly.




* in a lot of these cases, I really don't know much about these people anyway. I don't watch movies nor do I know many of them from TV, and if I do it is likely clouded by their character.

Hot: As in willing to have sex with until you can't or until it falls off and then you just staple it back on. Similar to willingness towards a one stand or a zipper fuck. See also not Kate Upton.

I honestly don't get why people take such issue when you have a difference in what one person finds hot. To me Monica Bellucci is way hotter than Kate even from a merely image point of view, and you don't continually hear me being butt hurt about her not even being polled or even on the waiting list. I don't even care if she got a lower score lower than Kate. Monica isn't sexy. She's the kind of sexy where curse words are involved.

It's a joke. Point is that she is a gorgeous blonde with an incredible body. Even if she isn't your type, I don't know how anyone can deny she is hot.

Maybe my definition of "hot" is different. But if she walked in a revealing outfit, would I be sure to look? Would the men in the room be thoroughly engaged in what she did?

I don't think anyone really 'takes issue' with any of this. I'm guessing the thread got bumped because she's a current event, or "hot topic" haha. She just landed on the cover of SI Swimsuit, so bringing back a couple month old HoN for discussion seems pretty reasonable.

As for her, I'm just amazed that 3/10 guys would see her and think .. "Nah, not hot". Put me in the group that would think those 3 guys must like dudes. I definitely don't think she's the "be all, end all" ruler of what's hot - but - I also definitely don't think 30% of men wouldn't call her hot.
