No contest, for me Daisuke Takahashi is the hottest thing on (or off) the ice, EVER. Part of what makes him attractive to me (apart from the obvious, his gorgeous routines) is his personal manner. Softly spoken, completely humble, always respectful to other skaters, never enters into the blame game when he has a less-than-perfect performance, persistent and open to new ideas. His Bacherlorette exhibition routine is completely mesmerising, and the sexiest thing I've ever seen and yet it never comes across that he's trying to be sexy. Rather than being narcissist, he's just a young Japanese guy into fashion (such a refreshing thing after growing up in a country where so many blokes just DON'T care at all about personal grooming - guys here in Japan, including the straight ones, feel free to wear pink, makeup and very carefully crafted hairstyles), indeed he lists shopping as one of his favourite off-ice pastimes.
Disrespecting other skaters, including through public verbal stoushes, I find to be a very unattractive quality and actually affects how physically attractive I perceive a skater to be. Quite apart from the fact that Johnny's routines leave me relatively cold, his attitude towards some other skaters leaves me more so.
Stephane is pretty hot, too, but in a more overt way than Daisuke, and perhaps in a way that is a little too much for me at times.
