@They think he’s attractive in the same way that women think that men think that skinny women are attractive. Phew – convoluted reasoning.

@Vanni – yes, they do think he’s attractive, in the same way they thought Sant was clever. And in case you hadn’t noticed, the ones who call the shots at this stage are all men.

@David Friggieri – thanks for reminding me that David Brent wears a goatee. See what I mean about never trusting a man who’s got one?

Gerald Fenech – With regards to the ginger man’s “qualities”, I wonder if you are referring to the opportunitist in him?

Vanni – It was all sparked off by one man’s comment

This argument is simply hilarious.

As my better half (or so she imagines) says, whilst giving me a meaningful look, beauty lies solely in the eye of the beholder.

If I got Daphne and her camp (BTW, wanna bet they are all women?) right, they are saying that they imagine that the MLP (who are probably being unconsciously considered as consisting soley of men) imagine him as attractive.

How is that for convoluted reasoning :p? And I am not even a woman.

This discussion on what makes men attractive to women is hilarious! Indiana Jones types or bust! :-) Super stuff! As that wonderful sitcom The Office shows, even w*****rs like Brent get a woman in the end. Check out his infamous dance (and goatee) here: [Moderator - Joseph Muscat should sue Ricky Gervais for stealing his act.]

Amanda, I happen not to have a formal qualification myself so I’m not exactly impressed by MA’s, etc. I just think Joseph would be a breath of fresh air to the Labour Party and believe in his qualities.
Regarding our stint on the job, can you pls give me a hint as I seem to have forgotten who you are?!

@Simon – I have yet to meet a woman who doesn’t think that George Clooney is attractive. There’s your benchmark.

Thanks for the metrosexual tip – just the description I was looking for. And as the moderator pointed out, metrosexual men attract strange and sexless women like Victoria Beckham.

Daphne, stop generalizing please. To state that that “men think people like Joseph Muscat are magnetic to women” is a huge insult. You are far off the mark, of what we think of Muscat. I hope that you honestly do not have believe that.

I think that certain women are attracted to the Indiana Jones type, while other women are attracted to the metro sexual type.

[Moderator – The latter includes Victoria Beckham.]
