I was just watching Riddick last night and it occurred to me (not for the first time) that Katie Sackoff seems to be quite a fan-boy sex-symbol- I really don't get the love. IMO (being the supremely trim virtual Adonis that I am! lol) she is an average looking actress at best with a tendency towards looking quite/very masculine. As an actress she is no better or worse than the majority of thesps out there but as a sex-symbol? Nope - not for me.

Are there any other sex-symbols who you don't understand the fascination with (or am I blind and young ms KS is amazing)?

She's a sex symbol because she's female and has acted in Sci-Fi stuff.

I sometimes reckon you could put SuBo in the next Star Wars movie and she'd magically appear in the FHM Top 100 sexiest women.

Sandra Bullock for me. When speed came out my school mates kept harping on about her.

My wife doesn't get the love for the pale British bloke from Twilight or Ryan Gosling

It wasn't even her body on the famous cover of Pretty Woman. They used a body double called Shelley Michelle for that and some of the scenes in the film.

Angelina Jolie, I have always considered her to be a complete hound, she would probably not find me very attractive either but I just cannot understand the fascination with her.

Judging by the amount of relationships she seems to have gone through and being in her mid forties and still not settled down I reckon; no matter how fit she is and she is fit, she is probably quite hard work and needy.

Another here for the Bullock; fantastic legs and seems like a nice person but not sexy at all, I reckon she would be a good mate though.

Michelle Rodriguez, she is just the sort of girl that I would find attractive; ie. Latin look, dark skin and hair etc however she has the body of a young boy; no thanks!!

Ellie Goulding, don't know if she is classed as a "Sex Symbol" however I just can't get past the chin.

Never got Aniston myself. She's okay looking don't get me wrong, but just quite normal really.
