I haven't weighed in on this thread yet - have been reading what other people think. If you're looking at true 'beauty' then I think it narrows down to Stephane Lambiel and Adam Rippon. Pure physical attractiveness, beautiful skin (especially Adam) and presence. There are cute guys and guys that are cute because of their personality. But beauty? Eh. Never thought Evan Lysacek was even slightly attractive (but then , beauty is as beauty does) Nate needs to dump the hair grease, Kurt when he had hair but his personality wins out over most anybody, Johnny Weir before he started messing with his hair and wearing OTT costumes and lots of makeup, agree about John Zimmerman when he was younger, Peter Oppegaard when he was thinner, etc. Some of these guys just didn't age well (noskates says as she looks in the mirror :rolleye:)

The title of the thread is "diverse beauty" eh he he he he :eek:: so you can PR all kinds of beauty here, as long as you give us the evidence of that beauty. :bow:

As for me, Russian male skaters are the death of me (especially Mishin's boys). :biggrin: But that doesn't mean I couln't appreciate the boyish/adorable beauty of Yuzuru and Jason.:popcorn: They are all pleased looking in my eyes.

Emanuel Sandhu was always very striking-looking. In recent photos it looks like he's gotten some cosmetic work done, which I don't like. But before the botox or whatever, he was gorgeous. http://www.lizbellagency.com/photos/actors/emanuel_sandhu/emanuelprofile.jpg

I think Shawn Sawyer is pretty cute too. http://www.skatecanada.ca/Portals/2/UltraPhotoGallery/18070/206/[159].Shawn Sawyer.jpg

As for Johnny Weir, for me the height of his attractiveness was around 2010-2011. I'm not crazy about the fussy way he styles himself now, but when he looked like this? Heck yes! http://images4.fanpop.com/image/pho...e-Gawgeous-3-johnny-weir-21091883-180-270.jpg

Is there anyone that hasn't been named yet? This thread is really proving to me that there's a lid for every pot...:laugh:

Gallavich, great picture of Johnny. I can't figure out how to post pictures or I would back up my claims with some really good ones.

Johnny is very handsome, but sometimes to much OTT for my taste.

Did somebody named Nikita Katsalapov? http://www.icedancing.org.uk/main/wp-content/uploads/FDworlds2013_6.jpg

And about Evan Lysaceck, he is by no means my favorite skater (his actitude sometimes sucked), but can ´t deny how good looking, tall and fit he is http://officialevanlysacek.com/beta...ympic-lookaheadjpg-b7c8aa117b8a600c_large.jpg

Nikita Katsalapov is probably my favorite of the current skaters. I also like Lambiel (who doesn't??) and Moir. Strangely, I think Plushy and Maxim Shabalin have some special charisma in them. Special mention to Daisuke, who I find to be very interesting and captivating. Oh, and to Charlie White's hair.

I find it interesting that so many here find male figure skaters attractive. I guess I don't find many male figure skaters that attractive for whatever reason. I don't know why that is? Here are a few I do:

-Adam Rippon - #1 maybe. He exudes a kind of classical, Grecian-urn type beauty to me.
-Sergei Grinkov - Honestly not sure if it's him I find attractive or his romantic connection with Katia. As a little girl they were the dream romance I looked up to and wanted! He had some now-unfortunate hairstyles though (as did many others rocking the mullet in that era!!).
-Fabian Bourzat - I find him really sigh-worthy.
-Elvis Stojko - Another who rocked a grand mullet in his day! Has anyone else mentioned him? I had a bit of a crush on him in my teen years.
-Hongbo Zhao, I am not completely sure if I would say he's handsome exactly, but seeing him now as a coach, I'm like wow! It's made me look at him in a new light, in great contrast to how I viewed him during his competitive days, when I loved his skating but wouldn't have said he was particularly attractive. I think he wears a suit/street clothes very well. See for example this nice image of him and his wife: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/142567144428065060/

Mitchell Islam still has a baby face to me and gives that 'cute' vibe, but I wonder if he could grow into a more 'handsome' guy as he ages.

After all the Sinitsina-Ilinykh drama, people still find Niki attractive????:confused::confused: Personality plays a great deal in attraction.

That's how I feel about Lysacek and Chan. (Though I doubt they'd ever be high on my list even if I did like them as people.) I don't get too invested in ice dancing, so I have no opinion about Nikita's personality, but to me he just looks like Kevin Bacon and Kevin's not my cup of tea either. :laugh:

Luca Lanotte on the other hand...:love:

So true, I mean Nikita is surely handsome but I think he rather looks dull. He truly looks like Kevin Bacon whom I never been very fond of. :eek:hwell:
