As a male I ask for general female opinion. Is Newt Gingrich as repulsive

[banned from Kos]

to women as I think he is?

Women, we need your opinion but many don't ask for it. What do women think of Newt (compared to Romney)? Will there be a gender bias?

[HereSince1628]

1. Hey, that account at Tiffany's makes up for A LOT!!!!!!!!!! n/t

[RKP5637]

4. LOL

:rofl:

[Missy Vixen]

39. There isn't enough jewelry on the face of the planet.

Signed,

Not even if he gave me the Hope Diamond and the British Crown Jewels...

:eyes:

[tanyev]

2. Yes.

Beats me how he keeps finding new mistresses. I guess the big fat lobbyist, I mean historian, checks are a big help.

[ecstatic]

3. I'm biased, but I think they're both creepy as hell,

and creepy is not attractive.

[RKP5637]

5. +1000 +++ n/t

[tabatha]

6. ditto

[monmouth]

7. I find him repulsive, starting with that sneer he so often displays. He

has an overly inflated ego and is grandiose in general. I won't even comment on his physical appearance, that has never been a factor for me. Trying to imagine (and I have a vivid imagination) a physical relationship with this man goes beyond what I can conjure up. Really...His attitude of superiority also add to the turn-off IMO.

[leftyladyfrommo]

8. Neither is attractive to me.

I've never liked Newt. I think he has a pretty high "yuk" factor.

Romney not so much but I lived for several years in Salt Lake and I am kind of used to that whole Mormon thing he has going on.

[Blue_In_AK]

9. Well, I sure wouldn't do him. n/t

[redqueen]

10. Would you ask the men about a gender bias with respect to

Sarah vs. Hillary?

This is sheer idiocy. Looks are not a factor for thinking people.

[banned from Kos]

16. Yeah I would but its not about "looks". Its about character and appeal.

And the mushy middle uses both to vote.

[redqueen]

18. So you're comparing him to Romney based on character and ... what kind of appeal?

[banned from Kos]

25. Romney is an empty slate, a tabula rosa. I suspect he is OK with the mushy middle.

Newt has real character issues and is a first-rate hypocrite.


And women make up 52% of the electorate - you're damn right their opinion is more important than ours.

[redqueen]

30. Do more women than men vote?

I don't know for sure, but I think the answer is probably no.

[banned from Kos]

33. I understand women do. They live longer and older people vote more.

I am not sure though.

[redqueen]

35. Well I'll be damned...

you're right!

I still don't understand why women's opinions of Newt vs. Romney matter more than men's, though. Maybe I'm missing something very obvious.

[banned from Kos]

36. Because if my theory is correct Newt will cost the GOP 600,000 votes in Ohio.

Florida, and Virginia combined.

KEY states to win!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

32. Tabula rosa? Pink slate?

(Sorry, I like to tease people about their typos. :))

[11 Bravo]

49. Gingrich's looks weren't even mentioned in the post to which you responded.

For the love of God, find another hobby ... the reflexive poutrage at ANY post which you can somehow, in your mind, twist into being perceived as sexist; has moved well beyond lame and into the realm of pathology.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. He is about as repulsive as any ostensibly human male I could think of.

Whatever the female equivalent of "I wouldn't f*&k that with your dick" is, that applies to Newt. I have never understood how that guy ever got laid by anybody, let alone managed to be a serial adulterer. He's not only physically unattractive - he's pasty and pudgy and probably looks like a slightly hairy Michelin Man, naked (naked is NOT how I want to think of him, eww) - but worse, he's personally unattractive; he's arrogant and mean. He's even more repulsive than you think he is.

Romney is skeevy, too, but in a different way. There's something about him that makes me suspect he has some kind of disturbing fetish.

[banned from Kos]

31. nice word use --- very descriptive. You either read a lot or write a lot

thanks

[northoftheborder]

41. agree with this characterization totally

[BeHereNow]

12. He conjures images of molestations of kittens and small children

Absolutely CREEPY to me as a woman.
All of the fat white pasty guys evoke that feeling in me.

BHN

[silverweb]

13. ALL reTHUGs are repulsive to me.

Physical appearances mean nothing when all that is in the eyes is a predatory leer.

[Raine]

14. He's totally repulsive and disgusting

thinking about him makes me :puke:

[trayfoot]

15. YES Repulsive is the right word!

[LadyHawkAZ]

17. Are you asking if they are repulsive physically

or ideologically? I'm not sure if I'm being asked if they're sexy or what I think of their political stance. Your post is slightly ambiguous.

[AsahinaKimi]

19. I wouldn't touch him with a ten foot pole..

Not to mention, being Republican is **NOT SEXY** :P

[graywarrior]

20. One's oily and the other is scaly.

[Chemisse]

21. I find them both repulsive. I think women tend to put a lot of weight on

the personality, attitudes, beliefs, etc of men when assessing their attractiveness.

I find any RW Republican to be disgusting and slimy, no matter what they look like.

[waddirum]

22. I'm not a woman but...

... I imagine his turkey goblet double-chin would shake and shimmy during sexy time. DISGUSTING!

[nolabear]

23. The word that comes to mind is "smarmy."

And it's not appearance, though I don't like the way he looks. But the reason I don't is because he looks like he thinks he's superior and should be pampered and coddled by the very people he looks down.

I think he's kind of a toad, with all apologies to toads.

[Cleita]

24. He's very repulsive to me, especially his

personality, but there are women who don't mind kissing toads and pretending that they are prince charming especially when there's plenty of bling involved.

[madamesilverspurs]

26. Politics aside, he's a "meh" on his best day. His abject

dishonesty is a total turnoff. That said, after years of enjoying an occasional guilty fantasy about Tom Selleck I heard him angrily spew some reaganite garbage and it totally wrecked the fantasy.

[JI7]

27. Mitt Romney has no Sex Appeal,he is one of those guys who one can say is good looking

but just do nothing for me. he is one of those guys people make fun of and obviously tries hard with the "who let the dogs out" type stuff to fit in with others. but it just comes off as him appearing foolish.

Gingrich is just gross in so many ways. the thought of having sex with im or even just kissing him is ughhhhhh. and it's not all based on how he looks though there is something "unique" about the way he looks to put it in a not so mean way.

[northoftheborder]

43. Romney is handsome, nothing repulsive about him, but he....

....just seems sort of stiff, somehow. No attraction for me...might be a friend, if he had any values.

[pipi_k]

45. Newtie's unique looks...

Every time I see him, I think of two things...

1. Captain Kangaroo

2. A frog


Neither of them fit for amorous romps, IMO.

[southernyankeebelle]

28. He is as repulsive as Sarah Palin is. Worst of the worse.

[Morning Dew]

29. Who is "we"?

As in "Women, we need your opinion".


This OP seems incredibly sexist but I don't want to get angry if I'm missing something here.

[one_voice]

34. Yes...

but it has nothing to do with his looks. I find him to be an egomaniac, condescending, and not trust worthy. He's ugly on the inside and it shows on the outside.

[RebelOne]

37. Well, I am a woman and he certainly does not turn me on. n/t

[Missy Vixen]

38. Yes

Gingrich (and Romney) are repulsive to any woman who's ever heard their ideas, values and beliefs. Appearance has little to nothing to do with it.

Gingrich is a serial adulterer, believes he's above little things like compassion and humanity, and stupid enough to think his personal life (three marriages, one of which is to a woman 23 years younger than he is and whom he was cheating on his wife with while impeaching Clinton,) will not matter to female voters. I look forward to the fireworks between him and Romney, who has the intellectual depth and appeal of a used car salesman. Then again, that's an insult to used car salesmen - at least they're gainfully employed.

I keep hoping that some enterprising journalist will ask Romney on-camera (perhaps during one of the 'live' Republican debates,) about putting his dog on top of the family station wagon for hours while the "family" drove to their vacation destination. I would never vote for anyone who would do something so horrible to a beloved family pet, let alone someone with his ridiculous ideas.

[HockeyMom]

40. Yes, he was YEARS ago.

and is even more today. At least Romney has had moments of clarity. Newt treats woman, and children, despicably.

[pipi_k]

42. I don't care if there are ten

bags on his head...still creepy and repulsive. I don't know if I could get past the arrogance. Without the bag? Forget it. He turns my stomach.

Mitt...way more attractive, physically, but still sort of "not right" and I can't really put my finger on it.

Maybe he just has a rather cold demeanor.


Neither one is attractive to me in any way. Actually, none of the male candidates looks like a bargain to me.

[Phentex]

44. He is repulsive for so many reasons but not so much for looks...

I despise him for a long list of reasons all which have to do with the stupid crap that comes out of his mouth, his arrogance, his pretending to be a politician in order to wipe away his good ole boy roots. He is disgusting in too many ways to count.

I don't really care what he looks like. I would prefer not to see him.

[lunatica]

46. Yes. He's one of the most repulsive men I've seen

His mind is even worse than his physical self.

You have it right.

[seabeyond]

47. yup. some women are after the $. not a good enough reason for me. nt

[snagglepuss]

48. He looks like a snivelling Richie Rich> Yeah he is replusive.

[KT2000]

50. truly nauseating

in all respects.
Romney comes in second as being extremely smarmy.
