What makes the mature man so sexy?
"No sense of desperation," said wowOwow’s Liz Smith.
As for Candice Bergen: "Older men have just always been the sexiest to me. Far more than Leonardo or Brad. I saw Ben Bradley the other night and at 87 he is still one of the most attractive, intelligent, fascinating and sexy men alive."
According to Joan Juliet Buck: "We all know the glossy lure and sad reality of cute men. The dream is a mature man who knows what he likes, knows himself, has seen what life does, but still can laugh and has kept up his hope and is not bitter, who is curious, enterprising and strong."
Joan Ganz Cooney says: "Sexy at any age is a man who makes me laugh and seems a little dangerous."
And according to Cynthia McFadden, there are two necessary ingredients: "Sexy is smart and funny."

The sexiest men in the world, willingly and with a smile on their faces, put out the garbage; mow the lawn; clear the table and wash the dishes (manually or by machine); remember their partner’s birthday, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day (when applicable) and the relevant holidays at the Winter Solstice; and do all those extra little jobs that need doing but without being asked (baking bread, for example, or - for pdp - making Italian sausage). I’ll wager that the smiles on these men’s faces makes them the sexiest guys in the world.

Bill Clinton is very sexy. I’ve heard if you are in the room with him he just zaps you with his energy. He is so intelligent and has a quick, sharp wit and this is the sexiest thing about him.

Yup. Absolutely!

Yes, sure. I saw him, close up, once and he shone like a diamond in the sun. But does he take out the trash with a smile? That’s the big question! Believe it or not, Ol’ Blue Eyes Frank Sinatra once put his arm around my shoulders for a photo. Charisma and sex appeal? You betcha - but, for sure, he never did the dishes!

I’ve told my husband this for years… the only man I would leave him for is Quincy Jones ! I’ve had such a thing for him forever.
I’ve met Bill Clinton and he truly fills up a room. I was so “vaklempt” when I spoke to him that I’m sure I was babbling idiot… he’s probably used to that !

Yes, Joe Biden IS sexy! But Bill Clinton is Sexy with a capital S!!!

I agree that Joe Biden is an attractive man, but he looks just like my next door neighbor so I just can’t see him as “sexy”, it feels creepy!
