Shane's Appeal?


Shane has some masculine traits, and perhaps is the best of both worlds for some. Still I never understood why so many women just drooled over her. Anyone got any ideals?

I guess she just has a specific aura about herself. I know that one guy who is the biggest womanizer ever and you would hardly tell from most pictures but you can easily tell when you meet him. It´s the way he comes into a room, the way he walks, the look on his face. At least that is what the girls who love him say that it is. He also looks pretty good but not phenomenally good. I guess with Shane it´s the same.

Yep, I've had a few friends like that. They weren't "model good-looking" or anything like that, but they had lots of confidence and were very sexy. I think that was Shane's appeal: she was emotionally unavailable, had a "wild child"/rockstar vibe, and exuded sexiness. I personally didn't find her attractive, but she's not my type and I don't care much for that personality now that I'm "older and wiser."


You're a sexual Disneyland.

She has nipple confidence.

She is very beautiful, her eyes are amazing. And she has that sexy lesbian swag going on..

I was enchanted by her when I was younger and first into the show. Now she's just kind of meh for me, mostly because of how emciated she is. It also might be because I started watching during Season 3. I watched the show from there until the end and went back to Seasons 1 and 2 last. That image of her in the pilot, looking so sickly thin in that pleather outfit got burned into my brain. She is really hot, but damn, she's skeletal.

I have NEVER seen the appeal in Shane's character and I never will. She's a good friend I'll give that (minus that Nikki/Jenny disaster). There are situations where I like her, but overall NO appeal. Plus, the actress abilities does nothing for me.


Jennifer Beals on the other hand. WOW!!!

I agree that Shane's character is not always positive: selfish, hedonistic, cruel sometimes, but capable of huge loving and tender actions... And though agreeing that Moennig is a bit skinny and somewhat masculine, I like her very much!

reply

I think that many women like Shane because she's very beautiful yet looks like a boy. Not a man, mind you, like dikes do, but a beautiful pretty boy. Girls like that. Even lesbians like that. So she covers everything.

the best of both worlds lol

Well I think she's hot (I'm a straight guy and I think the actress is kinda cute). I watched the first 3 seasons and for me Shane is the most likable character (and Tim from s1). She's cool and always fair...and she has a fascinating style.

Now that I finished the whole thing I have to say that Shane is the (wo)man! She's the only one here who stays totally cool through all the six seasons. (this ninja guy is also cool)

reply

agreed

It's a straight girl thing.

They like the androgyny, and the idea that she's a girl (taboo) but still is slightly masculine. Kate is not butch at all, she is androngnous.


Don't know many gay girls who find her attractive.

I know a bisexual girl who like androgynous boys but don't like androgynous girls...I don't really get it. To me they look the same. :/

reply

You know, I think you're right! Shane has always been the one that I'd say I'd go for if I was gay, I like the androgyny.

However, Carmen will always be my biggest girl crush, Sarah Shahi is stunning.
