A question 4 us ladies and including men

how come Prince was never featured in people magazines' sexiest men alive or something related 2 that? Besides him bein the sexiest male"vegan" of 05' or 06' from PETA.I mean i know everyone recognizes and admires his music talents but what about his appearance? most of his female fans, including me find him attractive and sexy in many ways and even some female celebrities find him sexy as well. Is it because his image is considered "weird" and he doesn't fit in the categories w/ other male celebs like Brad Pitt,George Clooney, Johnny Depp and so and so...Im not makin this a big issue, im just curious. So has any-1 ever notice that 2?

i think it's because most people find him to be too feminine.

What's ups with that - he is a illuminated piece of sexy, and illuminati....with a special gift to pass on spiritual enlightenment to others.
Someone vote.....something has to be done here!

This has been discussed beforeon other Prince websites and we have come to the conclussion that it is because he is not white, or young.

Yeah...

..which is why there's two black men in that picture and the majority of the men there are 30+.

Nice try though.

Typically men who wear make-up on a daily basis don't get featured in these lists.

Yeah, I'd have to agree but I can see why most women do find them attractive. I prefer the guys that wear make-up on the regular. lol

Probably has nothing to do with sexy then, maybe it's all promotion-wise decisions.

although i find prince sexy as hell, he doesn't fit into a type.
he doesn't put himself out there enough.
the people who normally top these lists are the people that you are supposed to find attractive, but i usually don't.

These guys were playing with their little toy cars when Prince was redefining sexiness and launching a cultural-sexual revolution through his acts/music. Now they have, probably subconsciously, assimilated are reproducing those sexual images that Prince promoted onstage.

And now P doesn't get a mention... so ironic imo...

I can totally picture this as the reason... which leads me to take the liberty to stretch this thread's topic a little, if I may, to say that I'm absolutely outraged at Time magazine's choices for its '100 Most Influential People in the World'.

No sign of Prince in its 'Artists & Entertainers' section, nor in the 'Builders & Titans' one - which yet includes Radiohead. And that for the band's 'original' online distribution method of its last album. Where were they when Prince did all this years ago??
'Time' is a little our of synch with the times it seems.

And it's clear that the vast majority of their picks throughout are 1] Americans [sure, the US is all powerful & influential, but ignoring the rest of the world is a slap in the face of other nationalities imo], and 2] are white, and I could even add 3] white men.

So I guess, no, there isn't any place for Prince, whether as the god of sexiness or anything else in society, among such narrow and f....d up standards of desirability...

Yes, because, sadly, Time, Newsweek and the like are influential.

.... personally, i think when you have an artist who defies a multi-billion dollar company ... what happens is that artist may become 'blacklisted' in certain aspects of the media ... Prince plays by his own rules and there are folks who dont like that.....

Is it certain that Prince isn't approached and declines? Prince is more than a sexy man in the eyes of the world. Prince really can't be compared 2 or with...

Great guitar players, and Prince
Sexiest Men, and Prince
Stylish people, and Prince...

I agree, the man should hide try to keep it on the down-low at this point. cool

There is almost no way that a man can answer this question without looking suspect on this issue. But a lot of the times the women that they say are sexy don't do shiggidy for me. I think mostly that the people who represent these actor work really hard to get their clients on these lists but they don't really represents true sexiness. Cause you never see any ordinary people or non rich on that list. Cause I know some sexy women who have never made this list and that is a shame for that magazine. Like the male star from that new movie "Wanted" is not a very good looking man to me but he made the list last year. The guy won the Oscar last year for best actor is not attractive but he made the list from No Country for Old Men.I don't think that I have seen Gabrielle Union on that list and she is absolutely smoking as is Angela Bassett. Now why is that? Sure there is Shemar Moore and Will Smith on the list but Will has never been the MOST Sexiest Man but Brad,George and Matt Damon seem to have a game of passing the title around for quite a number of years. But then again this list is very subjective and who run these magazines. Prince may wear makeup but so do all these other gentlemen so don't get it twisted. Prince is just a prettyman,hahaha!!!
