My $.02 as a 44 year old gal who has followed U2 since 1980:
Adam: He never really started turning my head until a few years ago. I didn’t dig the ‘fro, I didn’t dig the Small Glasses/Amish Joshua Tree phase, nor the mohawk in the early ’90s…but the look he’s been rocking the past few years? Outrageously sexy. Call Doctor Freud if you must, but the Silver Fox Daddy thing rocks my universe in about 37 different ways. Adam has gotten more comfortable in his own skin as he’s aged -- something that’s incredibly sexy when it happens to anyone, male or female.
Edge: As with Adam, I never looked twice at Edge until a few years ago. Maybe it’s because my 47-year-old long-distance boyfriend is a dead ringer (and I ain’t kidding: we’re talking stop-on-the-street-doubletake-dead-ringer) for ‘today’s’ Edge. The way “he” wears a pair of jeans, the smokin’ body that he doesn’t keep covered up any more, the baldie/hathead thing, the facial hair…killer! (Doesn’t every guy you know who’s FINALLY capitulated to his inevitable hair reality, a la Edge, seem a million times happier since he made the bold decision to shave it down? Hmmm…with that happiness comes confidence…and confidence = UBERHOTTIE!) These days, Edge moves more loosely when he’s on stage and, like Adam, he’s finally hit his stride. (And I hope this isn’t inappropriate, but, um, when I lay my eyes on my Edgy Lookalike when he’s just gotten out of the shower and is in front of the mirror getting ready to head out for the night…well, trust me, Morleigh and I are very happy gals. (My guy’s secret is a mysteriously balanced diet of Mountain Dew, stir fry, gallons of hot sauce, and Little Debbie. I weep at the injustice.)
Larry: I daresay that Early Larry was a bit too pretty for me…almost difficult to look at for any longer than a passing glance. (I’ve never been a chick who dug ‘perfect’ dudes…the whole sculpted Chippendales look popular in the 80s never turned me on.) As Larry has aged, however, his looks have appealed to me more…a few more creases on the face, a bit more sinewy = HAWT. Today’s Larry reminds me of the dudes I see in the city I live (Milwaukee) - I’m new here and since arriving have been blown away by the legions of INCREDIBLY gorg “older” (35+) dudes in this town who rumble around on their Harleys during the warm weather months. Larry has always loved his Harleys, as we know, but Today’s Larry is a perfect example of the kind of guy I’m talking about. There’s a real physicality to them…they work construction, they’re in great shape, they like to break a sweat, and they just have an ease about them that’s really sexy. On that 'break a sweat' note, when I saw the band here last September, there was an extended period of time during the show where I just watched Larry behind his kit and was blown away by how hard the guy was working. Focused, INTENSE, getting the job done. Muy, MUY caliente.
Bono: In love with Bono from the very beginning, but I have to say that, looks-wise, he’s fallen down to the bottom of my list in this area. (Granted, the competition offered up by the other three is brutal.) Not that I still don’t think he’s super sexy, but could the re-shuffling of my list have anything to do with my feeling that he’s the last of the four guys in the band to embrace the fact that he’s getting older? IMHO, the hottest look that Bono could rock from this point forward would be if he got rid of the hair - a supershort buzzcut! - and do the work it takes to get that lean and hungry look that would be so awesome on him. I worry a bit about Bono; I don’t think he takes great care of himself (too little sleep/both-ends-burning, a tad too much alcohol). Granted, his unique role on the world stage brings immense pressures (it made me sad when he mentioned in the Time “People of the Year” piece that he never gets any time alone.) But I’m reminded of some of the older rock acts I’ve seen in recent years (David Bowie, Chrissie Hynde); both in their 50s, in amazing shape, super physical in their performances, and from my up-front vantage point there was no question that they take damn good care of themselves (they know they don’t have a choice if they want to get the job done.) You can do it, Bono! I double dare ya! Show those other three guys who’s da boss!
Though I did manage to fool five other messsage boards
That will forever be what that picture makes me think of.

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" ever heard of that particular saying?!? 
I mean, I would never dream of posting a similar question on any other rock performers fan forum coz I respect other peoples feelings too much, even though I may not always understand them! And if you're really that glueless, than I suggest you hang around Pleba for a while and you'll soon find the answer to your question, without resulting to asking such offensive questions!!! 
so true.
