Sex appeal has a much broader meaning than just sexual attraction between people. A car, a house, a book, etc can all have "sex appeal". A person therefore can have sex appeal without necessarily being sexy. It can just mean the ability to excite or grab attention. Even if taken as actual biological sexual attraction, men can have sex appeal as well.

Abbott's comment is a bit stupid has he must know how the media will jump on anything to make a story. Especially if that story has anything to do with him and women. But sexist? no.

I know if a real hunk came along.. he would score a vote or three thats for sure.... and judging by some of the comments on here...regarding any women that looks good.. she would win their vote.....doesnt seem to be anything wrong with it..

in this day and age.. who cares.. a bit of lusting doesnt do any harm..I watched Matt Damon being interviewed last night not bad.... Wink

the way the OP misunderstood the term 'sexist' you'd think this was an SOB thread. but instead, it is just john smith entertaining use with his uninformed, uneducated demonstration of how not to understand the meaning of words... again.

the meaning of the word has nothing to do with it .... when was the last time someone asked for a candidates qualities as to why one should vote for her, and the answer is 'sex appeal'? Really? I think it is you who doesn't understand longstupidone.
