Yep, totally. And it helps if he can glower at people as well to help them GTFO faster. My SO can be pretty evil looking and it's brilliant. So no Rhaegar or Loras Tyrell pretty boys here, nope. I'd rather got with what was it? Seven foot of strong muscular brutes oozing testosterone?






0.o Ramsay? Ewwwwhh

Agreed on all count, Hence why I go giggly for Jorah. Plus I have a thing for older men. Which would account for my most satisfying previous relationship being with a man 17 years my senior and most dis-satisfactory one being with a "man" three years my junior

It's an honest query! I can't for the life of me recall how he's described physically, aside from the eyes and lips. If he's ever flat out said to be heinously unattractive then my mind's eye needs to alter its interpretation. >.<

I think he's supposed to he very pale too(?)

[Ser Loudmouth]

For me, it's Brienne.
It's not that I picture her as particularly attractive, but I don't picture her as particularly unattractive either. That's why I could never get on the "Gwendolyn Christie is too handsome to play Brienne" bandwagon.
The reason for this might be that when she was intdroduced I made the connection between her character and the historical Joan d'Aarc (and apparently I'm not the only one). Anyway, from then on, my mental image of Brienne has been "Joan d'Arc with bad teeth" which is a lot better than what most readers imagine.

The wiki says: "He is an ugly man and has a fleshy appearance, with large, wormy lips and long hair."

Apart from the fact that he is a complete sicko.



Please can we go back to the strong muscular brutes oozing testosterone? No more Ramsay, bleah.

Sorry, no strong and muscular brutes oozing testosterone for me, I want more.

That's ok, I'll take them on. Since I'm pretty small I tend to go for much taller, bigger guys and blaming it on a biological compensation mechanics. Works for me, plus when I get blisters on my feet it's convenient to have someone who can carry you where you need to go. So you'll probably find me favour guys like Smalljohn Umber, Sandor Clegane or Drogo, or even Robert Baratheon in his youth. Plus there is something appealing about exerting an amount of power over someone so much bigger than yourself.

Blisters from running or high heels ? I have them both.
that's sooo incredibly funnnyyy .
Because I am rather small and reasonably lightweight myself and my RL guy has the shape of a retired football champ. Only he has brain, wits and learning and a sense of humour that is as devious as mine - but he tends to solve conflicts with words. And one of my  sons, who is small, wiry and a smartass is a fierce martial arts fighter, sooo harmless and testosterone free looking .  People prefer not to mess with any of them.
And I enjoy to have them both in my pockets.

Sorry, got distracted.  What was the question again?

[Woman of War]

Sorry, no edit:

And I like my guys washed, with clean underwear and brushed teeth, not oozing anything

I think we were thinking metaphorical oozing and not in the literal sense.

she isn't in good enough shape to play Brienne, that's for sure though.

[Sera dy Relandrant]

I always thought of Arya with fiery red Tully hair to match her temper. And Sansa being a 'quiet, gentle brunette' type. I've got their descriptions mixed up...

[Not A Lannister]

Another thing, when ever I read a description of an "attractive" character with long flowing hair, the first thought that comes to mind is *go get a hair cut, then maybe I'll consider you attractive*

I don't get the attraction for men with long hair.

[Christina Ceriddwynn]

SANDOR!!!!!!!!!!! yerp yerp....Gimme some grappling hooks and I'll scale him!

I am also thinking....Ser Hyle Hunt!    He comes across as funny and, despite some character flaws, generally honorable.  People bash him for the Brienne thing but....he has since apologized and has actually proven himself to be a decent guy despite it and has since spoken well of her to others.  He seems to have grown respect for her, same as Jaime did once he got to know her.

Definitely Jaime.....except the whole Cersei worship thing is a major turn off *bleh* and is the main reason why I don't "ship" him with Brienne.  She needs a man without sister issues.

Oberyn would be fun in bed *wink wink*

[Howling Mad]

Ygritte and Val O'baby!

[genegirl]

I have always felt Brianne and Ygritte were fearsome and attractive women.

I don't get the non-attraction to men with long hair myself. 90% of men look better with long hair. It is known.

My pick: I don't recall if bearded, long-haired filthy Jaime in his Riverrun cell is meant to be attractive or not, but that's my favourite-looking version of him (well, minus the filth... then again, yum...)

[Kittykatknits]

Sandor. He may be burned but the black hair, eyes, almost seven feet of gorgeous body. Yum!!!

Jorah too. I like the way he is described in the books over the show, all dark and hairy. I give him Ian's voice when reading the books and start drooling.


I didn't think Jaime sounded all that attractive when the series opened up. The golden curls just didn't do it for me. But, now, with his hair shaved off, some greying, time in the dungeons...NOW he is sexy.

[zatoichi]

Oberyn. Bloodraven. Ygritte. Maybe Asha or one of the Karstark girls.

I kinda want to wait for Arya to grow up. People are predicting she'd be a beauty like her Auntie Lyanna but people can resemble each other and not score even close to each other in terms of being beautiful. *Shrugs.

[Arya of House Badass]

I always thought that Jon was a sexy bastard but apparently that's quite debatable given some of the threads on this forum. I agree with those who said Beric, Stannis and Oberyn as well.

Going for the reverse, I never viewed Loras as remotely attractive despite his description in the book.
