I didn't want to embarrass you in case you didn't know :tongue:

I have genuinely never noticed the strange lack of eyebrows before :curious:

He has quite a prominent forehead I guess, so I wonder if the shadow of that makes him look like he has more of an eyebrow than he does :tongue:

And I agree, they're not quite as impressive :tongue:

Spoiler

So, where do you stand on the well-built/skinny debate? (seeing as we're still on this thread :tongue:

)

Oh, definitely slim/skinny.
Am so myself, so anything muscular would make me feel ridiculously weak and puny.

EDIT:

Oh, honestly! I'm not a huge majority - there's nothing to worry about negger.
Appearance matters very little to me on the whole :yep:

Yeah I think that's partly my reasoning too :tongue:

Plus the majority of guys my age are on the skinny side, which is good :tongue:

Well built, all the way. Wouldn't want to be worried he'd break! And there is nigh on nothing that beats nice arms.

I find it almost impossible to choose between them to be honest :tongue:

Both in terms of looks, and general character in the actual show too :tongue:

Both are brilliant actors; I really like the different characters they've brought to the role. In looks though, it's definitely Tennant. Probably because he has eyebrows?

I agree, their characters are very different, but both excellent.

What are you, obsessed with eyebrows or something?! :teehee:

I understand....

What's up with all these girls liking skinny boys?
a) horrible hungs :frown:

b) not being able to defend you if needed, or even carry you probably
c) "The act of sex, while encompassing any number of emotions, is an inherently physical act. If a girl is choosing a guy for a hot night of passion, what girl wouldn’t choose the beautiful sculpture of a man with abs of steel, rippling pecs and bulging biceps over the beer-bellied guy who looked like he could have posed for Picasso, with jiggling love handles and hair growing out of places never before thought possible?"

a) I like hugs from skinny guys
b) Why would I want him to defend or carry me? Hes not my servant
c) Because some of us dont find the look attractive

I prefer being well-built, I'd hate to be scrawny.

Number crunching: 33% of girls prefer slim/skinny guys compared to 30% of guys who prefer to be slim/skinny.

I'm not talking about stick-thin, I'm talking about very slim/borderline skinny. You can still be strong and very slim. Whilst very slim people are obviously less strong than a person of a rugby build, many very slim people are very physically fit.

you don't need to be at all muscular to have a 6 pack

it's actually more to do with being skinny.

a) Maybe you just haven't met any skinny people good at hugs :tongue:

b) Firstly skinnier people often have a higher muscle density than those who appear well built. Therefore they are proportionally stronger. Also martial arts tends to help for things like this
c) Source?

Yeah personally I'd rather be over-skinny than over-muscley. I've never been with anyone who had a problem with my weight (aside from one time when I lost near 8kg due to illness). I'm skinnier than I want, but I'd rather be that than too well built. Plus in the end interesting conversation tends to matter a lot more with those who I'm interested in so it's not a massive hit on my confidence. This said, I know many girls who like muscley guys, it's just a personal preference thing, like long/short hair.

EDIT: Negged for this? Really?
