Why oh WHY do women like Johnny Depp?!

I think being able to understand the Depp thing is key to understanding what women consider sexy. Edward Scissorhands? Ugly as sin. Willy Wonka, really?!?! Biggest creep-out of my life. I understand that he has huge cheekbones and jawlines, but seriously if you spend 1 minute looking at clothing ads, don't you find hotter guys? Yes you do. Often women say he's mysterious and can play any role. I think it's because he's ethnic-looking, plays rebellious and emotional characters, is dark-haired, and has a nice voice. What do you think? What's really interesting to me is that he has never been buff in his life and he wasn't super-popular until Pirates of the Carribean.

  • Ah, the sinful question.

    Many women find him attractive for many different reasons: a.) women are genetically programmed to be attracted to a man of his similar bone structure. For instance, notice how his upper body is well built, with defined collarbones and shoulders. Women are biologically engineered to be attracted to men with very well-defined upper bodies, for when we were considered "defenseless", men were our protectors (and what better feature to protect than strong arms?), and, of course, his tan skin and dark hair. Unromantically enough, if you use your imagination, Johnny sort of resembles a 3000 times more attractive Neanderthal. This is why a higher percentage of women are attracted to men with darker skin and darker hair - how many times in your life have you seen a re enactment of a pale or fair skinned homosapiens? , b.) he has many mysterious qualities to him. I.e. Many of the roles he plays are sort of dark, brooding, quiet, sweet, funny, or just downright sexy, and c.) because he is very private. As you walk through the grocery stores past the magazine aisle, notice how repetitive the covers are ( for instance, "Britney pregnant AGAIN?", or something else about Brangelina)? Well now think about how many times a week Johnny Depp shows his face on the cover of People. Almost never, right? This makes women respect him a hell of a lot more, because it shows that even with his outstanding and overwhelming fame, he manages to keep himself private. He is also a wonderful father, which notes that he has a caring personality and has no trouble nurturing his loved ones.

    • he's only 5'10 and weights a buck 50, he's the same size as a woman.

    • he has no definition on his upper body

  • Ooh, he was gorgeous in Secret Window.

    But um, I don't know. He's a decent actor. Obviously in roles like Edward Scissorhands he isn't at his most attractive, but he does have his moments. And you've got to hand it to him for the range of characters he's capable of acting as.

  • Well first of all he's extremely talented and I think many women (myself included) find that attractive. Second of all it's the mysteriousness, that you mentioned, that makes him interesting and by proxy attracts women. He also has a rare quiet intensity about him that's very sexy.

  • Honestly, I find him skeevy and unattractive.

    • yeah he is getting fatter too, too much drinking and drugs and looks dirty like he would reek of cigarettes and booze

  • I'm a girl and have no clue.I'm completely lost about this issue.No clue at all.I stare at him and wonder "WTF do girls see in him" he's uhh.I guess the same reasons guys like Megan Fox,nothings special about her but hey,to each their own

    • Did you just diss my Megan Fox OH NOES You DIDN'T

    • Yes.She's overracted.Had it not been for Maxim magazine no one would even know who she was.I knew about her long before Transformers.Johnny Depp,I just do not understand the appeal of him.And this is coming from a Bisexual person

    • Guys don't like actresses for their acting: There once was an actress who danced nude on a mattress. But critics boo-ed her role As "dull & presuming" But for men on the street It was love at first meet for they enjoyed the position she's assuming.

  • I am one of the few girls that doesn't like him I really don't think he's very hot but most girls seem to like him a lot.

  • Dude I'm a female and I have been wondering that for the longest. What the heck do women see in that man

    • i used to like him but now he is old and dirty looking and reeks of booze and cigarettes, he has messed up looking teeth, with the millions of dollars he makes he should put it to good use and get his teeth fixed

  • I have no idea...

  • There's just something about him, he seems to tick all the boxes and he is just sooo hot, his hair, face and eyes just all seem to be different to other guys. It's his individuality and sex appeal that attracts so many women, including me.

    • Yeah ok, back up though. What boxes does he check? What makes him more of an individual and why's he sexy?

    • Its a combination of all of it, great actor, awesome hair and face shape, he can play so many different roles in films, he shows intelligence, all plus more make him sexy.

    • What is the intelligent part? He reads lines that other people write for him. He is a line-reader. Talent sure, but intelligence? He could only win Celebrity Jeopardy.

    • Show All
  • I find him WAY more hotter than a good looking Greek type guy with huge muscles and perfect face with awesome abs !

    Why? As he has charm,character,he has the attitude! Girls are different from guys,visual is always combined with feelings and energy if we are talking about attraction :)

  • he used to be hot when he was younger, but time has taken a toll on his looks, he got fat, he has jowls under his chin, he is not a hunk anymore and is old as sin, he is a violent and unstable person and always gets into fights with people from his over drinking and is a drug addict. he is an old loser

  • Well, Love is a gift sent from God, You don't have to be sexy or attractive to be loved.

    God gifted Johnny with this gift and with attractiveness so all people see him love him.

    Watch any interview for him and see his facial expressions and this deep look in his eyes and you will love him.

    It is so simple.

  • personally it's his quiet, mysterious attitude and his dedication to his films.

    obviously his looks are also a part of it. and yes he has some creepy ass roles but he does them SO DAMN WELL and that's what turns me on :)

  • my ex boyfriend look like a spitting image of him,

    and the best I've had, yet...

    so that's probably why.

    he doesn't try hard like most other celebrities (i.e. the ones you find in clothing ads)

    he isn't prone to play the typical love-story

    his look is unique--you don't find many men who don't bore you with polo's

    and he looks like a bad-boy.

    and a lot of women want bad-boys.

    it's a walk on the wild side-

  • He is soooooooooooooooooooo HOT. I love him sooo much

  • he is hot in chocolate and pirates of the carribean. obviously things like willy wonka and edward scissorhands he kind of loses his appeal lol but he just has a gorgeous face!
