Conversations at the sushi restaurant...

Went out with some American colleagues last night for sushi. Perhaps it was the sake but discussions soon turned to the physical appearance of former boss (who was with us at the dinner). Gil is an extremely charismatic guy but he looks like (in my opinion) a troll. He is big and hairy has a big gap between his front teeth and a weird growth on his neck (not quite a goitre and not quite a conjoined twin). In addition, he sports a rather big beer gut and has weird, splaid-out toes that hang out over the sides of his sandles. Evidently women find him sexy but I simply cannot see the physical attraction and neither can his other gay friend. So...this got me thinking. I wonder if aspects of male physical attractiveness are shared between straight women and gay guys?
