<p>While I agree the discussion was borderline homophobia bait, it's a good example of how your task is hopeless and honestly - meaningless.</p>
<p>When one dinner guest dislikes beef and another chicken, the solution is not to bake a dish with everything in your kitchen. It's diverse, but hardly tasty to anyone.</p>
<p>If hot could be quantified, we would all get it more, but the world throws us at a suitor who one day wants a macho man and the next a French accent. </p>
<p>Hot is an individual heat setting.<br />

<p>Srsly, nothing against these guys, some of them are hella cute indeed, but I'd submit that they all pretty much appeal to one particular narrow "niche," as you described it, to the exclusion of the very diversity of hotness it seems from the quote above that you're seeking to represent.</p>
<p>In fact, in order to achieve such a list, I'm guessing you'd have to grit your teeth and actually include a beefcake or two, more than one man of color (I honestly can't tell if there's any on the current list that "count" in this regard), and maybe even a couple from the multitude of non-fashionista subcultures in SL, vast numbers of whom are constantly finding each other & hooking up, so clearly someone's 'hotness criteria' are being met :D</p>Leondra commented on 'Ophelia's Gaze: Hotness and the Male Avatar'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef0120a7dd4094970b2010-01-16T02:06:31Z2010-01-16T02:06:31ZLeondrahttp://Leondrassecondlife.blogspot.comI so agree, Ophelia.

"Avatar as literacy", an interesting premise.</p>
<p>Hotness is more than visual. Hotness is skills, and how that is conveyed by originality, design, and intelligence in forever evolving ideas about one's presentation in this visual world. It's art.</p>ColeMarie Soleil commented on 'Ophelia's Gaze: Hotness and the Male Avatar'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef0120a7da5a32970b2010-01-15T22:52:20Z2010-01-15T22:52:20ZColeMarie Soleilhttp://www.youtube.com/rockerfaerieDaniel for the win<p>Daniel for the win</p>
