Watching SHerry play herself on the View over Prince made me reconsider a question that I never could answer to my satisfaction. How can I man who looks like Prince have that effect on chicks? I mean, if you are a woman that loves Prince and you saw a dude on the street or in the club that looked even remotely like Prince - with his style and clothes - would you be attracted to him like you are to Prince? I mean I have seen real women that look like Jessica Simpson or Kim Kardashian or Meshell Ndegeocello and I lust after them because they are sexy. I have never seen a dude that looked like Prince and was taken seriously by women - even in the 80s when we all were trying to look like him. I just don't think he would get straight women if he was not Prince - the single greatest musical artist on the planet. Of course, he probably wouldnt look like that if he wasnt Prince. If he was Prince - the bus driver - he might not have the sweet custom made pumps with the lights in the see through heels or the precision hairdo.

If women couldn't be attracted to men wearing ruffles and frills, the human race would have died out around 1500.

good one

That's one thing I used to bug out on. Considerin' that P the entertainer we know now, if he didn't get where he is today, could we see him walking around Minneapolis or L.A. looking as he does. Growin' up if you weren't dressin' Hip Hop I thought the same thing and people always thought I was the 'funny' cat ... LoL

I love how my man has 'created' that ambiance or aura or vibe of like he said 'I'd rather wear somethin' another wouldn't dare' ... Only eclectic men like Prince or Lenny Kravitz can get away with that (this) ... LoL

Since being a fan of P I've often thought about blowin' out my hair ala Controversy or Dirty Mind Era. I actually did it by mistake a few years back and I had to cut my hair, I was walkin' around lookin' like Christopher Tracy (just the hair).

I don't know where you're from and can't speak for women, but in my experience, when most see a newer pic of Prince, they are gob smacked. Or if it's older Prince, the crawl on the WDC video gets a good reaction.

The guys got style and coolness like no other. He offers something many men can't and pulls it off....and that's the key, whether you can pull it off!

He has a perfect blend of masculinity and femininity and is fully confidant with it and that makes women go for him.

Basically, what woman wouldn't want the man spoken of in the track, If Eye Was Ur Girlfriend (a song that sent women wild).....which is essentially himself.

That's my take.

Ain't that the truth.

That is why you don't see him in "normal" clothing. He lives the persona 24/7 and he's never out of character, even when he's alone. People just expect that all the time and we accept and respect that.

I get asked this question all the time..if Prince wasn't Prince and you saw him on the street, would be interested? And the answer is yes!!

I like guys that are different and dress to perfection. I LOVE the way Prince dresses, and the fact that he can wear heels is so sexy to me. Like its his style and I love guys that have their own style and don't just do what everybody else does!

Prince is like my brother, ALWAYS clean! You never, ever see my brother not looking fly! I appreciate that about a man. And I have my own personal style and like a man that has his. Its nice when a man stands out and has something unique about him.

When I see Prince, I'm in awe of him, because he is who he is and he rocks it. And that's one of the things I love about that sexy man. And well, he is simply sexy, he has a slamming body and gorgeous face!! Those lips and eyes... Hmmmmm Everything about him is SEXY!!!

Confident my ASS! If Prince wasn't famous, he wouldn't get play from the ladies. Women that aren't N 2 Prince don't find him attractive at all. Only his fans do. Could U imagine Prince (Lets say Bob) stepping 2 the ladies N the club wearing heavy make up, ruffles, bare ass sticking out, and wearing high heels. He would get laughed out the club. Maybe a few women would ask 4 beauty tips, and Bob would give them 2 snaps in a circle. Everybody attractive 2 fame. Just look at Biggie & Flava Flav, ugly asses. Women find them sexy. I would like 2 C a picture of Prince dressing normal N jeans, T-shirt, and tennis shoes. NOW THAT WOULD B FUNNY!
