Take it easy Garth. You sound like a bad issue of Mills and Boon. And noone said women here are 'uptight' and 'frustrated' either.

You know what they say about American men onto British women - 'oversexed and over here' (in the Times comments section like a shot already already). What's up with chicks back home? Are they underwhelmed with your seduction techniques?

Doesn't that composite look like Carol Vorderman? But no, it's not attractive at all.

Give it a few years and with DNA engineering we can see for ourselves.

This article is written as if beauty was a Frankenstein-like concoction of physicial attributes. I think it is a blend of emotional energy with intellectual presence expressed in a physical form. Without the first two, beauty or handsomeness is impossible.

"... 49 per cent of women did not believe that they were seductive..."

Britain is in terrible shape! Is it Gordon's fault? Well, yes! I'll explain below!

Maybe it takes an American man to make a woman feel truly seductive: It's the way we walk..the way we talk...the devil in our smiles ...the way we undress you - slowly.. with our deep blue eyes! When a British woman sees an American man, her heart starts to beat a little faster..then a lot faster! Her eyes widen, her pulse races..she licks her lips..mmm..ahhhh!! ..her face becomes flushed...she tugs at her clothes...her breasts swell... more! (Hey, look! I'm just telling it like it is, Baby..don't blame me!).

Now about Gordon: He needs to RELAX a bit: Eyes like a corpse, he almost NEVER smiles, he walks as if he has a telephone pole stuck up you know where...he doesn't talk with you...he makes STATEMENTS! Even Hitler had more sex appeal! No wonder he's down in the polls... and British women are uptight and frustrated!

All a bit conventional and underwhelming - very 'dynasty'

There was an old episode of a U.S. sitcom called "Married With Children" where the male characters were discussing the ultimate woman over a poker game. The dialogue went something like:

"Legs?"
"Jamie Lee Curtis."
"Boobs?"
"Hmm...Jamie Lee Curtis."
"Butt?"
"Jamie Lee Curtis."
"Face?"
"Gotta go with Jamie Lee Curtis again."
"Brain?"
"Awww..."
"Come on, she's gotta have a brain..."
(Every character suddenly coming to the same simultaneous conclusion)
"Vanna White!"

She looks like nothing less than a horrifying Frankenstein's monster pieced together from five or six of the world's most beautiful women... You can't just cherry pick attractiveness.

Nentuaby, Costa Mesa,

Can't help but feel that she looks like Jan Leeming !!!

There are many seductive women in world. These women , I mean celebrity are the ones we see in films and they are exposed to everyone, so we think they are more seductive. Every woman can be seductive...
