Because, it's not really about looks to a point. Looks get you part of the way I guess, but if you don't have it then you just never will. Does anyone know what I'm talking about here?

By the way, I made this thread instead of the "All Sean Bean all the time" thread that I was planning on.

je ne sais quois, I think, means an attractive quality which can't really be described. Something like that. So it seems weird to have so many glamor-people in a je ne sais quois thread. :confused:

[Dorothy Wood]

yeah, this just seems like a "here's some famouses" thread.

mostly because I hate Diane Lane, just something about her. she seems too pleased with herself. I am not charmed by her at all. I also don't care for Katherine Zeta Jones. same reasons.

I would say that Paul Bettany is someone I wouldn't normally find very attractive, but he's quite charming, so I do.

Holy crap!

Two online dictionaries say the defnition is: "Something indescribable."

Answers.com says: "A quality or attribute that is difficult to describe or express: 'Fishing has lacked a certain je ne sais quoi in terms of its public image, as all activities must that involve beer, worms and one-size-fits-all gimme caps'"


...so je ne sais quois doesn't even have to have a positive connotation? That's weird. So I could say, "I don't really like her; she has a certain je ne sais quois that bothers me."

:confused:

He's got the eyes of a rapist though.

Isn't this just the old guys and girls and crushes thread?

The literal translation is "I don't know what". Th epoint of the thread was that some people have a certain quality that makes them stand out more than other people. These are my choices. Yeah they are beautiful, but not every beautiful person has that same quality. There are some people who are not so physically beautiful that have it to, but I can't think of any off the top of my head. I wanted to put some older people in ther to that have it no matter how old they get, but I got tired of it. I'm thinking Lauran Bacall.
