Blinded By Penis

Don’t let the title scare you off; this isn’t something dirty. Those of you close to me will know that I am quite comfortable in my sexuality. I can openly tell you when I think someone is attractive or ugly even if they are of the same sex. With all the Twilight craze surrounding my reading the books and going to see the movie I have had a number of discussions with my close female friends about Robert Pattinson and his role as Edward.
In my opinion Pattinson is quite stunning in the film, but in every other facet of work he does outside the film be it photo shoots, interviews, or public appearances he loses the sex appeal. For some reason he always looks like he either just rolled out of bed, is drunk, or is stoned. A friend of mine sent me video of an interview with Robert Pattinson from Access Hollywood, which lead to the following conversation.
Friend: Okay Mike. TELL ME he doesn’t look drop dead gorgeous here.
Me: He’s not very attractive in human form…his voice is hot, but that’s about it. But even that is just the Brit accent.
Friend: Ugh. It must be the penis that clouds your vision. I’m going to test this hypothesis … I know a gay boy. I’ll ask him
Friend: hmmm. Here’s the verdict -
Gay Boy: He is decent, a lil rough looking or whatever you call it. Scruffy? Scraggly
Friend: mmmmm I love scruffy looking
Me: It doesn’t bother you that he always looks like he just rolled out of bed?
Friend: Michael…it…the opposite of bothers me. You have NO idea how attractive that is.
Me: Perhaps it is the penis that blinds me…or perhaps I just have better taste in men!
The conversation went on to discuss other actors such as Johnny Depp and his portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow, Harrison Ford and a few other actors. Regardless I do not find Pattinson even remotely attractive outside of his role as Edward. With that in mind I have decided to fire up a poll to settle this once and for all.

Are you kidding. The guy is the hottest guy on the planet. Bless. You need some glasses.
Pattinson is extremely handsome and more importantly has buckets of sex appeal. Try telling those thousands of women who went gagga abotu seeign himin San Fran today that he isnt.
He’s gorgeous and has that Depp vibe going on.
VOTE NO on Prop 1408 (That’s Rob in number speak)
totally hot.. totally voted.
There really should have been a 3rd option. I think he’s good looking half the time. And not so much the other half. He CAN be pretty tasty, but sometimes it just doesn’t do it for me. Hey mikey, why don’t you look at my gallery of pretty boys I like and tell me what your metro eye thinks…
Thanks for all the comments and votes everyone. Looks like more people currently think he’s NOT attractive outside of the role of Edward.
@Sufferkins – I’ll give em a gander, but I’m NOT metro. Just comfortable enough with my sexuality to know if a guy is good looking or not.
Don’t care what any of you and your hater friends say, that boy is quite possibly the most attractive person on the planet.
I’ve done some soul searching…and yea, I’d take him over Johnny Depp… believe me…no one was more shocked than I
he’s incredibly attractive in the film but once you see his unwashed hair and his awkwardness outside of the film, your view (or at least mine) is tainted
robert pattinson is amazingly hott. like bonable, and well i’d fuck him anyday; i know im gay but who cares? he’s so fine. goshh somedayy i will have sex with him!!!!
im obviously late on this, but here’s my opinion…I am a huge Harry Potter fan and thought Robert was attractive in those movies. I didn’t read Twilight until the movie was already out…I fell in love with Edward as did everyone else imagining him as Robert. Then I saw the movie and did not like him as much in the movie…maybe it was the terrible acting and the phony american accent. BUT every time I see him as Robert I melt picturing him the way I did Edward in the books…sexy as sh*t! he’s a guys guy, he doesn’t seem to know or care what’s going on around him and is completely unaware of his sex appeal, and that’s probably the sexiest thing about him! I think he’s incredibly attractive, unwashed hair and all!! yummers!
Well Michelle I will say this, you seem to find most of his sex appeal in his personality and not so much his looks. Granted you did say you thought he was attractive, but it wasn’t until you started talking about his personality traits that you seemed to really get going, “…he doesn’t seem to know or care what’s going on around him and is completely unaware of his sex appeal, and that’s probably the sexiest thing about him!”
Thanks for your visiting the blog and thanks for your comment. I guess I’m just doomed to live in a world where this scruffy dirty man is a sex object. Le sigh…
grls luv it!
He’s a lot more attractive when he’s not playing Edward.
Robert pattinson is beautiful!! SEXY!!
yum….:)
Yuck!
Plain and simple- Rob Pattinson is God’s Orgasm
I actually think Robert Pattinson is more attractive as himself than as Edward. I think he’s gorgeous as Edward too, but I think he’s sexy in person. Love the whole look :0)
Robert pales compared to Taylor Lautner. Taylor beats Robert in all of these categories:
Hair Style
Shape and Color of Eyes
Shape of Nose
Shape of Lips
Smile
Overall face
When I think of someone that is handsome, I think Taylor rather than Robert.
robert pattison eu sou loco pra te conhecer eu sou pirado (eu sou seu fã desde que lanço o crepúsculo onde você mora (é em NEW YORK) I love you
