I suppose Ruffalo is pretty down-to-earth/relatable-seeming, which I find attractive in girls. It may be that I find your suaver (more peacockish?) male actors more attractive because the(y’re more entertaining and) better to fantasize about being, all the way back to at least Bogart/Grant (the latter with a sense of humor about it, which Clooney has borrowed in copious quantities).
Wouldn’t it be great if just for once, when several ppl tell someone “this word or usage is problematic due to x...” if they actually just said “oops I didn’t realise!” and tried to find a better word. Instead of spending loads of time detailing why, exactly, they didn’t mean *problematic word* in a ~problematic~ way bcuz they, a dude, have redefined language or something.
But y’know, whatever.
gos and ruff r hella fuckable (str8 dude opinion)

CK DH playing out the role perfectly.
Fotherington Thomas OTM, btw.
“the role” = mansplainer IMO
“the role” = mansplainer IMO
I see. I’m a man, and Fotherington is a woman, and therefore Fotherington is the appropriate arbiter of the meaning of my words, never mind her willful ignorance/shifting of their actual and clearly-stated objects.
The same is true of horseshoe. Strawmen are ok, if women are erecting them.
yes
*tosses popcorn into microwave*
Yes physician heal thyself.
It’s weird bcuz I can look at those pics Judith posted and think he actually looks quite handsome but that just doesn’t translate to wanting to put him near my genitals. Desire is complicated. I think maybe he’s too perfect looking, all those teeth and that immaculately mussed hair. Perhaps if he were more asymmetrical or ginger or had British teeth I’d fancy him more (at all)
CK DH: “for once” is key here.
Also, I’m sorry, but the truth here is fuck off.
Isn’t it inconvenient that words have meanings and connotations and you don’t get to decide what they are for people that have different experiences from you? How terrible. My condolences for your inconvenience.
ck dexter whatever, i’m not a woman but i will say that the abject wrongness of everything you are saying stands clearly and singularly for itself in this thread.

Except for when you were agreeing with it.
the joys of a SB FREE ZONE
i never at any point agreed with anything you said, you must have misunderstood me

<3
George Clooney is still getting better looking. It’s ridiculous. I don’t even get how it’s possible.
Lol.

This was sarcastic?
you’re gonna have to work real hard on this one
You’re going to have to explain.
Dang, he got you, judith.
p sure that once you agree that george clooney is attractive then you lose the argu no wait what
i am gutted just gutted that only chucklebutt registered the appropriate admiration for my dr banner zing tbph and can’t help feeling that all these unrelated new answers have obscured my path to acclaim

I see. You are the arbiter of not only the referent and meaning of my words, but my experience. Thank you, womansplainer.
i was ignoring you. my post has nothing to do with your post. just because you pasted them together. did you also think my previous jpeg of ruffalo was in response to your post just before it? why am i even arguing with you. im p sure all you are saying is “i am not especially attracted to mark ruffalo” which isn’t really that much of an insight for you to be posting this much on a thread called “mark ruffalo is attractive”
“womansplainer” is really just too much
i was ignoring you. my post has nothing to do with your post. just because you pasted them together.
Nice try, but the only person who posted in between your two posts was me, so there was no one for you to be agreeing with other than me or the post I quoted for purposes of agreement. You decided to disagree after my next post, which I guess inappropriately referred to the attractiveness of someone of the female persuasion.
i’ve said before that photographs are only a tiny part of the story with ruff which is why his attractiveness varies from role to role, because he is a v physical actor and it is often about how he moves. or rather how his movement often suggests a certain tactility, hes weirdly physically present in a lot of his movies.
There’s a great moment in YCCOM when he and Laura L. are on the back porch and he absent-mindedly swats at a fly. I love it.
That’s right. The way to prove you were using a problematic word in a ~totally non problematic ~ way is by... acting like a total problematic cock. Well done!
Can we have some more jpegs of attractive men, pls?
p sure i was still referring to mark ruffalo there. i have no real opinions about george clooney.
it was apparent p quickly that i shouldnt bother with you, this is an instinct i wish i had perservered with
The way to prove you were using a problematic word in a ~totally non problematic ~ way is by... acting like a total problematic cock.
You may have a problem with it based on what you decided my meaning was, which in turn was based on your deciding that I was a different person referring to different people, but there is nothing “problematic” about any word I used.
Judith what this calls for is more pictures of The Ruffalo so you can help me make up my mind why he’s handsome but not fancyable.
thanking this thread
fwiw I hadn’t really thought about it before but the patronizing undertones of “unthreatening” are pretty obvious
in motion
also has this been posted already
he was p fn threatening in in the cut
that’s MR and his brother, who I just learned died playing Russian Roulette :(
Interesting detail in the news story “Scott Ruffalo, a married hairdresser”
fwiw I hadn’t really thought about it before but the patronizing undertones of “unthreatening” are pretty obvious
Like the patronizing tone of this response.
that doesn’t even make any sense
it looks like everyone’s against you huh?
jesus dude, please go away
maybe you should post photos of yourself so we can see if we think you are threatening or not
Sorry I’m on a train across Exmoor or Dartmoor + my connection keeps cutting out. Want to see these photos but they won’t d/l!
it looks like everyone’s against you huh?
Neither new or a concern to me. I am with the truth, even if I have to be a little outrageous in expressing it.
And I am v unthreatening as is well known
In the brother pic Ruffalo is the one on the left? He has v kissable lips.
Yes. Scott Ruffalo was really cute. How awful is it that he had a Russian roulette compulsion?!
Who is this interrupting idiot? When did Julian Assange join ILX?
who I just learned died playing Russian Roulette :(
I dug into this a little more, and the coroner was skeptical that Russian Roulette was to blame.
I guess it was time for the ol’ William Tell routine.
Oh, I can see that. I thought it was really odd that he would have shot himself in the back of the head.
lemme mansplain it for ya:
he’s non-threatening, I guess, while retaining enough macho not to embarrass the opiner
you are making a number of presumptions about what other people find attractive in Ruffalo. At the most basic level you are presuming to speak for them (which is—wait for it—patronizing!), and then you are also presuming that they hold a specific set of aesthetic standards (macho = bad/embarassing, a scale of attraction that is based on fear/weakness, etc.)
xp
Ha ha x-post not you Jesse
that doesn’t even make any sense
It does if you think about it. See? Patronizing. Like anyone who tells anyone else that they’re wrong on a subjective matter (including the meaning of a word, or the attractiveness of an individual).
Ha, thanks, FT.
lol “the truth”
you are making a number of presumptions about what other people find attractive in Ruffalo
Guesses, not presumptions. Which was the expressly-stated point.
hen you are also presuming that they hold a specific set of aesthetic standards (macho = bad/embarassing, a scale of attraction that is based on fear/weakness, etc.)
You actually have the equation backwards, and I don’t even know what the last clause is supposed to mean.
saw The Girl w/ the Dragon Tattoo, reminded of Zodiac because of subject + Fincher, thought Ruffalo would’ve been better than D. Craig in lead male role but I guess not a very convincing Swede.
The truuuuuth, man, the truuuuuuuth!
The truth is: Ruffaloes are all about the lips, huh?
I’m pretty happy that I can see the man in work, a living legend
I can completely see that that mouth would be a lot more sensual in motion, rather than just in photos where he’s all teeth.
Guesses, not presumptions.
distinction without a difference here
I don’t even know what the last clause is supposed to mean.
well, consider why someone’s THREAT LEVEL would even factor into attractiveness, and what the implications of that are. That attraction is based on how likely someone is to hurt you, either physically or otherwise—are you afraid of them, are they stronger/more powerful than you, do they make you feel safe. Do you see how maybe possibly classic MAN STRONG/WOMAN WEAK gender stereotypes are bound up in this.
xp
missed gabbneb so much

Jesus. Do read the thread.
i love how perennially controversial this topic is on ilx
damn u max
thank you based gabb
If only we could get Mark Ruffalo to do a video for Radiohead, ILX would explode with controversy!
