I am perplexed. Please explain, what is it that attracts young, pretty girls to a bunch of short, wrinkled, dumpy, pale, homely, middle-aged Irishmen?
If you knew about this forum, and how most of us believe U2 is 'hot,' why come in here and post comments like that? They seem quite offensive, perhaps they weren't meant to be so harsh. Your entire post was devoted to asking 'why do hot girls go for those ugly guys of U2.' Interesting.
U2 are a rock band (and a very good one at that). Naturally, rock music and rock stars have always appealed to the public. Rock stars have music that brings together a wide range of people. That group of people includes girls, some, who you describe with 'hot.'
Anyway, it's only natural for a girl to like a member of a rock band. Visit any other band's forum, and I'm sure you'd see lots of threads dedicated to 'enter-star-name-here'.
Don't forget that people's tastes of cute/hot/sexy differ. Some people find Tom Cruise appealing, others don't. It's all a matter of personal taste. Interference is a huge board, with many people from all over. Naturally, if you devote an entire forum to 'Paul, Larry, Edge, Bono, Adam,' the majority of people here are going to talk about them. And since the majority of people here are girls, it only makes sense that girls are going to discuss PLEBA! Well, not so much the P. He isn't a rock star.
Ehm.. I don't even know if you're still checking out this thread. So, because of this, I hope this thread fades out into oblivion... I didn't want it to before I left my own little bit of reasoning behind why we all chat about U2. If you wanted my own opinion, I'd tell you U2 were cute. Not as much as some other younger bands (call me a traitor and die!) and actors, but they are very high on the sexiness factor.
Why? They're entire personality, at least presented by the media, is appealing. Talent+Looks+Personality = Dream-Guy.
If they were walking down the street and I didn't know who the feck they were, I most likely wouldn't notice them. Why? I wouldn't know their personality that much. I wouldn't know that they cared so much about other people (debt relief for 3rd world countries!), managed to change so many people's lives (mine included). They also wouldn't be the band we all know and love today, they wouldn't be famous for their artistic talent.
