Alice, I think it’s *because* the world is falling apart that this bit of relief is important. Consider it a short break from the insanity. After all, if one is on a strict diet it’s necessary to have a sinful little dessert now and then.

Oh I do love this!! Such a display of gorgeous gents. Difficult to choose, right??? Top of my list: Mr Belafonte at 80+ still one of the most beautiful men I’ve ever seen & then some….. Then, Mr Chow Yun Fat , it reminds me of the french expression “avoir du chien” saw he once on a flight in Asia & my knees went weak for the duration & last but not least, my fellow Buddhist Mr Gere, a real charmer.

Richard Gere, Pierce Brosnan, Bill Clinton, Harrison Ford. Yes! I can’t help it, but when the face begins to change shape and a wattle develops under the chin, sexy goes out the window for me. I never thought Mick Jagger was sexy. Has a mouth that could swallow Cinncinnati (did I spell that right?) and Keith Richards looks, well, three sheets to the wind on a good day. Not sexy to me. I loved Paul Newman when I was young. I still think he’s one of the finest actors in the world. But he just isn’t my idea of sexy any more. I don’t remember who asked what people saw in Harrison Ford, but it’s easy: possibilities of the most delicious kind. What a hunk! I am a visual being. I am an artist and am attracted first by what I see. Granted that I have often been turned off when the delightful vision opened it’s mouth and my hopes were shattered by the stupidity, inanity, bigotry, lunacy, out and out dullness…you fill in the blank…that spilled forth. I have, however never met any of these easy on the eyes men and so I can hold onto my initial visual impressions (which, consequently, have never been ruined. Luckily I actually met a man who was not only a real hunk but had a brain and a sense of humor. He has lost all his hair but his face is the same shape and he never developed a wattle. He doesn’t even mind mine.

I would add Warren Beatty, Bill Moyers and Robin Williams. But you picked my favorite, which would be the Boss. I used to watch him play basketball in high school. He was not the Boss then, not yet. Still, this is a jittery week to be dreaming about sexy men, isn’t it? Actually, it makes Warren Buffet and Bill Gates sexier than ever.

Pierce Brosnan, Bruce Willis, Richard Gere, Robert Wagner. I’m an old lady myself, just had # 55 on the 23rd but I enjoy looking at and dreaming about younger men. Dark looks and hair, with green or hazel eyes yummy. Green eyes always got me in trouble when I was single. Bet they still would today if I were looking. Watch out boys!

Harrison Ford as he was in Star Wars maybe. He didn’t take himself so seriously then, Has Francesco (da Mosto) hit American Tv? He has presented a series on Venice and other parts of Italy. Now that man is sexy. I havent a clue if he has reached 50!!!

The only one on this list that I think is sexy is Sean Connery,the photo you have of him is awful though and where is Anthony Hopkins,Al Pacino,Robert De Niro,John Travolta,William Peterson,I could go on. What could be sexier than watching Pacino and Travolta dance,just my opinion of course but I know a few women who feel the same. What do I think makes a man sexy?,Oh the eyes,the way a man who knows women looks at you,the smile,yes he knows how to use the smile too and if he knows how to dance he’s got it made,especially if it’s a sexy dance!!!

Sean Connery? I think not. I caught a Barbara Walters interview with him some year back where he confessed that he believed women needed to smacked around a bit…. DEFINTELY NOT SEXY.

Mick Jagger? Keith Richards? BILL MAHER??? Please… Where o where is Mel Gibson?!?!?!?! I have thought he was sexy since I saw him in his first Mad Max movie when I was 17!!! I am now 43. Those blue eyes…!! Also, I think Charlie Gibson is so sexy! He comes off as thoughtful, witty, very intelligent. Smart IS Sexy!!!

I’ll take Bill Clinton any day, talk about charisma. I met him once for about five minutes and he certainly made an impression. Richard Gere for second best. If I were a US citizen, I would vote for Obama for president because of Joe Biden.

Is this what American thinks is sexy over 50? Except a few, Chow and Pierce, this is a sad example. Connery was sexy at 50+ but you posted the worst photo of him. Some were attractive before 50 but sexy is the wrong description to apply to a majority of these. Maybe you should change it the to most attractive, well liked or well known men over 50. Michael Douglas never has been sexy or attractive, he was just Kirk Douglas’s son. Yes, and you did leave off some that could have definitly replaced some you identified, Travolta, DeNiro, Hopkins men with charisma.
