jim morrison

[Jay-X]

hi guys, today i've been watchin' some old videos of jimbo (clips, interview...) and i noticed that he wasn't actually a beautiful guy. i mean, he was alright, but nothing close to handsome... he was a 6,5, maybe a 7, regarding looks.
despite this, he's commonly referred to as one of the sexiest people ever. i was wonderin'... would his sexiness have been recognized if he weren't famous?
i read lots of stuff about him and i know that in high school, he was quite popular, but not really successful with girls (he had just 2 girls, though they were LTRs).
do you think that his sexiness was due to his success?

p.s.: if you think this thread is useless or not interesting, please just go away without flaming

Success, money, power, respect, and fame will always be sexy. Why? Because everyone loves a winner, and anyone who claims none of those things mean anything is a lying loser. Celebrities dont get anything they want for nothing.

Jim Morrison is pure sex!

Of course the fact that he was famous played a part in it.. but it's his whole persona that made him.
You can tell from the aura around him & the way he carries himself that this guy is something special.

Jim was an individual. a free spirit. His whole philsophy was about 'breaking through to the other side' of inner calm & peace & happiness. attaining a one-ness with the world & diving right in to the pool of pleasure & experiences.

Yeah, he took too many drugs & became a raging alcholic, but he was a god like character when the doors first started.

& how can you give him a 6/10 for looks? I don't think you can appreciate true beauty. or do you think the modern palstic, fake, airbrushed, perfect smile, fake tanned idea of beauty is what is sexy?

Not really relevant to Jim's looks, but here's a funny story sort of related:

I was listening to a radio station and they had one of those phone-in contests to win some free tickets to the bio movie on The Doors that had Val Kilmer playing JM. The question was, "Where did Jim Morrison die?"

Some fellow called in, and said, "Uh, it was in the bathtub, man."

He won the tickets.

hey pootwo: as we all know, beauty is relative. anyway, if he were a common guy, like you or me, in high school, i hardly believe he would be defined a handsome guy. we cannot do anything about it, but the guys who are considered beautiful and handsome are guys who look like brad pitt, leonardo di caprio and tom cruise. i'm not sayin' that this is pure beauty, but just the way it works.

if you pay attention to his pics, he wasn't handsome at all, nor for '60s beauty patterns.

for what concerns the aura: do you think that that "aura" would have surrounded him if he didn't become famous? it's what i'm wonderin'... i bet lots of people would have just considered him an alcoholic, discriminating him and letting him become a bum

look at bill clinton? hes not bad looking by any means, but hes no 10 himself. Well wasnt he voted sexist man in the usa or somthing like that? well i seriously do not think it was anything to do with his physical looks!

that's right what i'm sayin, man! anyway, if bill clinton hadn't become USA's president, he would have become a famous politician or a great manager, for sure. but he wouldn't have been known as one of the sexiest men on earth, since he would have been famous just in the USA.

on the other hand, if jim morrison didn't have success with the doors, he would have become a bum, since he wasn't interested in nothing except music and poetry...


obviously, if you ask a hb10 if she wanted to fùck jim morrison or bill clinton, you can be pretty sure that she'll answer jimbo.

now, let's imagine that jim morrison didn't become a singer and bill clinton didn't become a politician. if the same girl could choose between them, she now would choose the manager (or whatever he has become), not the bum... jim has become what he has become, just riskin'

Maybe Im gay

I always thought Jim Morrison was extremely attractive. The Indian dancing, the dissassociated artist, have you ever worn leather pants and a black shirt and looked good in it?

Looks are relative I guess but I think most women would find him attractive regardless. As someone said however, it was HIM, his aura that made him successful, and his sex appeal that carried him further.

I would love to be either a totally free spirit like him or even just look like the dude.

God, I sound gay.

Man oh Man, if you guys are gonna start a convo bout this at least know and understand the Times and era and political and social factor of it all. Sexiness, coolness, Zen, Hiop etc, it was to Defy the 'man' to write your own rules on your own personal beliefs and to Be your own man, To Ummm. talk no shyt from no one, Yet have respect for whats important and to most of all keep this character in control, calm cool and collective, The poise and confidence and charisma of a DJ ooozes from Jims pours man, A late great americian Poet we speak of, a modern Chauser if you will. He wrote, sung talked and preached what he thought and felt and he didn't let anyone silence him, he was his Own man, The athority. The ALPHA man wherever he was. and that is why he is considered as high on the sexyness factor

i perfectly agree with you, but you guys still don't get me, so i ask you one more time: what if he didn't meet ray manzarek and didn't form a rock band? he had no clue singing (he became better and better as he already had joined the doors) or playin' an instrument.
he would have been a great person inside (intelligent, attractive [yet, not facially handsome, i repeat it], funny and whatever), but he would have ended up a poor bum living in the streets and considered a loser by everyone...

Man the answer is YES. Y E S, Of course without him being a famous singer and whatnot he woulda been just another joe schmow out there. His fame is what made him and his DJ personality stand out and make everyone notice man. Welcome to the Real world, Money and fame brings you a lotta things man and thats one of them. without that he woulda been just another Chump man, the key thing to think about though is HE WASN"T. He Was famous and all that. and Your not So quit wastin time debating what is already known which is $$ and Fame bring you *****, we all know it, but since we aint rich or famous lets find real productive ways of gettin ***** by Realizing we gotta find other ways to let our DJ personality take charge, other then the way JM did which is by his fame and wealth. It is Us the Everyday DJ's who are the true Legends who should be recognized for being just a regular guy But who make women melt by Just Bein DJ's and not bein rich or famous

COUNTERPOINT

Just to play devils advocate. Didn't he meet his muse prior to being famous? Didn't he a a few hotties prior to that?

Do you really think it was luck that he got to where he got? I dont know if I believe in luck too much. In other words, I would say he was a DJ in his own way, at all times. He created his destiny, he wrote his music, he performed it even when he hated doing it, he never sold out, he DID HIS THING.

Just a counterpoint.

Jim IS a sex god.

And the reasons why fit perfectly with the ideas on this site.

Read up on him if you're looking for a good DJ role model.

(You can, of course, leave out the more freakish behaviors.)
