Funny men. They're killer, aren't they? It doesn't really matter what a man looks like, as long as he can make you laugh. Popular culture dictates that I'm not alone in this view, given the ever-growing popularity of Judd Apatow and gang, AKA the Jew Crew, which now includes Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, Paul Rudd and Danny McBride, and on older and younger fringes, Steve Carrell, John C Reilly, Will Farrell, and Michael Cera.
Now, don't get me wrong - these men aren't ugly. They're just average looking, played down as unattractive because they're viewed through the eyes of Hollywood. Fair enough, they're not George Clooney, but by my reckoning, this is exactly why they're so popular in the first place.
If a man on the telly, or in a film, seems too attractive (much as in real life), I think the chances of engaging with them to the extent you actually develop a proper interest in them is fairly limited. To illustrate this with the aid of an academic underpinning, let us take this (very scientific and logically sound) equation:
If X, then Y (If a man is a beautiful Hollywood star, then he will reject you)
X (George Clooney is a beautiful Hollywood star)
Therefore, it logically follows that, Y (George Clooney will reject you)
So what gives with the Jew Crew?
This new wave of actors provide something that has been missing from the world of 
audience-actor crushes for a long time - the belief that they're actually, genuinely attainable. These dudes write blog posts on their MySpaces about how they dig zines, Sonic Youth and mixtapes, and you're like "Man! I write a zine! I like Sonic Youth! AND I can make a killer mixtape!" and there, before you know it, you're formulating plans about how to ensnare them..
You're going to write a killer funny comedy show, take it to America, receive cult acclaim and run into one of these men at a premiere, where, unbeknownst to them, you'll come out with all these snippets and facts about bands you love that you KNOW they love, and they'll be like oh my God you RULE, take you on as a wife, and you'll be the most painfully cool thing to have happened to the film industry since Woody Allen ran off with his daughter (oh, no, wait...). Seriously, it makes perfect sense. The fact that these men are flawed is exactly why they're so awesome - because they actually seem like real people with whom you'd love to sit around and have a drink. And then a bit of a kiss and cuddle.
You don't seem to get the same sort of thing with women, so much. This can probably be attributed to the fact that a lot of men don't take the fact that women can be funny seriously (argue with me on this front if you want, but I have had this opinion voiced to me many, many times. Or maybe they were just trying to tell me I'M not funny. Whatever). Or, that even if women are funny, or cool, or whatever, the average unaware male would still probably prefer a good looking one. Says it all, really.
