No, its not. This post is from the 20th century. You're 25 years late.

Who is it that assumes only women would
have an opinion on which Of the four Beatles was the sexiest /
cutest/ etc.? Even straight men today feel more confident in their masculinity to offer an opinion. I am a gay man, so I definitely
have an opinion! In their early days with talent and youth to draw
on, when the dressed alike and wore identical hairdos, It would be
difficult for me to say; except I could say that Ringo was always
distinctive looking. Paul had those fat cheeks, the round face,
and slits for lips that definitely puts him out of the running as
the best looking of the four, even Ringo. Those fat chipmunk
cheeks, and those huge round eyes, like a Margaret D.H. Keane
painting, while whimsical and adorable in her painting of
children, are about as sexy as her subjects. But to each their
own! Yeah? For me Pauls sex appeal hung solely on his talent. I
might possibly be able to get past his big round head if I met him
in person.

John was talented and cerebral, and that is definitely sexy! But
the drugs, and the grungy period he and Yoko went through, when
they posed naked, front and back, for that iconic poster was,
frankly, ugly; enough to turn a gay man straight. Of course had I
met him in person I’ve no doubt I would have found him extremely
sexy, because he knew who he was, what he believed, and man enough
to stand by his convictions. He was not a great looking man, even
after he cut his hair and cleaned up.

George was, in my humble gay opinion, the best looking of all the
Beatles. He had a great jaw line, great cheek bones, thoughtful
eyes, in conjunction with his taciturn nature, made him both sexy
and handsome.

He could have been Joe Schmo on the street and I would have
invited him home and into my bed. The other Joe Schmo’s, John,
Paul, and Ringo would need their talent, their youth, and their
money to entice me.

And, he likes Monty Python almost as much as I do.

Now this is a fun topic that hasn't -- as far as I know -- been done before. Which Beatle has the most gay appeal? I would have guessed Paul -- but of course that is relying upon the heterosexual assumption that gay men go for pretty boys. And you
make it clear, Rye, that you don't consider Paul pretty.

I hear you on John's grungy/drug/Yoko period. It turns *me* off as a fan. Your line about this phase being "enough to turn a gay man straight" made me chuckle.

George, you say? Interesting.

Thanks for posting!

Hi, 25 years late,

As a nineteen-year-old woman who is tired of facing George slander in my real life - everyone I show him to says he's gangly and weird-looking and trash his unibrow (can you believe?!) - I feel compelled to use this as an outlet for my '
GeorgeGeorgeGeorge' brain right now.

He's absolutely gorgeous (Georgeous?).

He fits all my subjective standards for attractiveness: I love tall, rail-thin men; dark hair; a strong jawline; prominent, even severe cheekbones (George is all in the cheekbones); a heavy brow bone and thick eyebrows; dark, hooded, and expressive eyes;
well-shaped lips, with a fuller lower lip; and ears that stick out. I love his arms and hands too, especially while he plays. And his little goofy dances, laugh, and obsession over guitars! And his habits of constantly licking his lips and flipping his
hair are...distracting.

Of course, intellect, humour, creativity, a sense of self, and charisma don't hurt. I'm glad George has a brain between those adorable ears - his music and personality (inasmuch as I can grasp it from videos/written accounts) are at least half of what
makes him attractive. If he hadn't, I'd have to admit how shallow I am: he'd still be leagues sexier to me than any other man, certainly the other Beatles. He's the one with the most 'present' or 'forward' sexuality for me: Ringo being more affable and
sweet, Paul being more boyish, and John always concealing something of himself through the self-defense of caustic wit. George is at once as sexually young and unassuming as he is self-possessed and beguiling.

But the most captivating things about George: his smile and his voice. He always had the most unique, beaming smile, especially before he got cosmetic surgery on his 'fangs', and it showed off his dimples! I go completely weak for British accents, but
the beautiful tone and slow cadence of George's voice draws me in more than the others'. I adore his singing voice too; I think his early vocal performances on Hamburg bootlegs and the BBC recordings are so fantastic and underappreciated.

He could have easily been a model. Not only for his looks, but for the way he could always find an interesting pose for a photo, wear clothes with such confidence (they never 'wore him', despite his lean frame), and capture the camera with his eyes. Even
in candid shots, you can see there's something lithe, even artistic, about his movements and posture.

The man radiates intensity and sex. I think it's his Scorpio rising. :)

This is a wonderful piece of writing. You have made your case -- with style to spare. Keep posting; we need contributors like you.

My wife considers John the sexiest of them, for his quick wit and leadership qualities during the early and middle phases of the group.

Thank you very much! It's very appreciated. I agonized for so long about whether to post it because I'm usually against broadcasting my thoughts on the internet. But I just needed to make the case for George, and wanted to take a moment to analyze what I
think sets him apart rather than just spilling an incoherent 'oh god he's sexy yes the skinniness the cheekbones' ramble all over the keyboard, which is kind of what's constantly going on in my head.

I hear you. My local news channel has the most beautiful meteorologist in the world. Her forecasts are totally trustworthy. However, I find myself mesmerized by her eyes, her long hair, her incredible figure, the way she moves, etc.
