Why do men find her so ugly?


Is it The Whole package? What about her is so unattractive? She looks normal to me but so many men seem absolutely repulsed by her.

That is a really good question. I don't know that I find her ugly so much as unattractive and not really feminine. She is a really great actress, I grant her that. I thought she was even cute when she played ... I think it was Zoe Bartlett, President Bartlett's daughter in The West Wing. But somehow over time as she got older she lost that nymphs sexual quality. I have seen so much with her in it, with the notable exception of Handmaid's Tale which try as I might I just have found boring so far and impossible to get into. Moss has an amazing amount of credits in her career, and she has been great in all of them. She has a kind of everywoman aspect to her that served her well in Mad Men, meaning that she is not just the sex object in the roles she plays ... so maybe it is that unexpectedly seeing an actual person in a role than a women dependent on her sexuality or looks. She is one of the few actresses that I would watch something she was in without knowing anything about it just because of her selections of roles and talent in past roles.

Oh, but also, her body is slight, and she does not have the overt feminine markers or sexuality that most actresses have, meaning that it has taken her real talent to get where she is and not just looks.

This was such a great reply, thank you for putting so much thought into it, I really understand what you mean!

She looks like Marla Hooch. That's it.

She has a large head with a small face and large bulging eyes.

Her features aren't symmetrical and that turns people off. Supposedly, it's something that triggers people to think there is something biologically wrong with the person.

I think she's very pretty in her profile picture and that's not even the best shot I've seen of her. But for some reason she seems to consistently do roles that aren't very flattering to her looks. Hmm..maybe because she wants to be taken seriously as an actress or something.

If Charlize Theron only did roles like Monster or Mad Max I don't think she'd be considered such a babe either.

She's not ugly.

I'm a woman and find her incredibly unattractive. She's ugly, but not in a charismatic way.

She'd make a freight train take a dirt road.

She ain't bad looking. Not a knockout or anything, but if I had a chance for some reason I'd go out with her.

The whole Scientology thing is more worrying than her looks.
