A good friend of mine turns thirty this month. Oh, GASP! THIRTY! She sent out an email asking some of us what our favorite parts of being thirty were. It’s a really good question and I finally have the answer.
My libido, it has finally arrived.
There’s this cruel rumor that travels around the High Schools which touts that boys peak sexually at 17, women at 30. At 16 years old, it’s easy to laugh about because HAHA ON YOU! You horny little man! The joke, it is not so funny at thirty. Actually, it’s annoying. Or cruel. Really really cruel.
So I sit around with my girlfriends and we list out our five. “Your five?!” You’re asking. Yes, our FIVE. You know, the five people we find attractive and are giving free ride (er, pun not intended) to “do” by our spouses should we have the chance. I mean, doesn’t everyone sit around discussing their “Five”?
So, in no particular order (except it is in THIS ORDER) here are my five yummies.
John Corbett Fell in love with him in Northern Exposure. I still listen to his voice and thing dreamy thoughts of living in a cabin with him off in the woods. Raur.

Paul Rudd Just. Hot.

John Krasinkski Hello, he’s holding an iPod. I’m a fan. Also, I wish I was Pam.

Zach Braff I watch everything he’s in. I heart his taste in music, too.

I would add my son’s pediatrician to the mix but Mr. Flinger said it can’t be someone I know in REAL LIFE. Damn. Instead, I’ll just put on makeup to take him to his well baby check this morning. And that’s not sad. Not at all.
Who are in your five?

Replace Dempsey with Alan Rickman and we have the same list.
Josh Duhamel, McSteamy, Keb Mo, Paul Gaustad, John Krasinski…
How did you get inside my head?
1. Albert Brooks (I know, I’m weird.)
2. Steve Martin (See a pattern developing here? No wonder I married a man 18 years my senior.)
3. James Tupper (OMG! So hot. He probably should be my #1. http://imdb.com/name/nm0876805/)
4. Luke Wilson tied with:
5. Owen Wilson (Heck, bring on a Wilson brother sandwich. I’d be SO there…)
1. Ashton Kutcher
2. Wilson brothers
3. Matthew Fox
4. Indiana Jones (not just Harrison Ford, it has to be the hat and everything)
5. Jude Law
Wow, we have very similar taste in men. I, too, am a sucker for brown hair, somewhat nerdy looking, intellectual, somewhat outdoorsy-looking hotties. Mmmmm!
Your first 2 are for sure on my list.
Ty Pennington
Matthew Perry
i’ll keep the 5th open for whoever strikes me at the moment. haha
Replace John Krasinkski with Ethan Embry and we also have the same list. I have a guy friend who really likes Zach Braff as an actor/director and I tease him “It’s the lips, just admit it…”
Gee thanks, you stole my post for tomorrow!!!
Anyway, I loves me some Patrick Dempsey.
Also…Josh Duhamel, Beckham…I’d like to bend it with him if you know what I mean, Tommy Lee ...have you seen the video?, Ashon Kutcher.
WOW! your Five are all very very similar looking! I think my 5 would be:
Matthew Mcconaughey
Matt Leinart
Matthew Fox
Dane Cook
James Denton
ok weird- what are the chances the first 3 have the name Matt???

in no special order or anything..
Steven Tyler
Richard Gere (mmm old guys hahaha)
Taylor Hanson (I have to..I’m just in that age range where I wanted to bone the hell out of him at 14)
Ryan Gosling (have totally had a thing for him since I was 11..and good lord the man just gets better and better looking)
Bruce Willis (random, right? but I’ll bet his sexings are hot)
You do realize that in those photos your first three look remarkably the same? I guess that shows you do, indeed, have a type.
My 5 in no particular order:
Dempsey: This is so sad, but he actually started acting in a little theater in my town. Whenever we go for shows there, I always wonder if his sweet ass ever sat in the seat I’m in.
Jude Law, Did you see The Holiday? I just don’t think it gets sexier than that.
Dermot Mulroney: Just so hot.
Colin Firth: Accents get me every time.
Christian Bale: I loved him, forever. It all started with Newsies. Man, I am a dork.
Oh, wanted to let you know, I moved to wordpress. momoncoffee.com
You’ll have to fight me for John Krasinkski and Zach Braff. Seriously, I mean fight!
I would also add Jon Stewart.
I cannot think of anymore, so I will add John Krasinski and Zach Braff again. Gotta love Thursday nights - yum!
In totally random order:
*Matthew McConaughey
*Dennis Quaid
*Patrick Dempsey
*Jude Law
*Jon Bon Jovi
In totally random order:
*Matthew McConaughey
*Dennis Quaid
*Patrick Dempsey
*Jude Law
*Jon Bon Jovi
John Corbett…Mmmmmm…cabin in the woods…..mmmmm…..
I’m sorry, what was the question again?
In no particular order: Colin Firth, David Boreanaz, Orlando Bloom, Zach Braff, and John Cusack… this week.
WAIT! I have to revise my list in light of some important forgotten things.
Colin Firth, David Boreanaz, Orlando Bloom, Gerard Butler, and Jonathan Rhys-Meyer…
That is an awesome five! I might trade out Dempsey for either Christian Bale or Jon Stewart. I have a thing for geeky types!
I don’t know your son’s pediatrician - can he e on MY list??? I’m not kidding - what a hottie!!!
OK, first off…thanks for ratting me out for having a slight freakout about turning 30. Really, I am fine with it…it was just when my first lip wrinkle and real grey hair decided to show up in one week about a month from the big 3-0 that I started to reconsider my enthusiasm.
Anyway…I have my 5:
Raoul Bova (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0100556/) who (lucky me) looks sorta kinda like my hubby
Colin Firth
Will Smith
Matt Damon (I love the Bourne series- so hot)
Matthew Fox (sorta main stream, but oh so nice to look at)
Apparently, from the list above, I have no type. I guess 1 and 5 look similar, but yeah, those are mine.
p.s. no comments from the peanut gallery on #3, I like him and I am not going to apologize for that. so there.
OK, WAIT… I got about halfway through the comments and read JOHN STUART. Do you know I got so much crap for putting him on my list? I did. I had him on my list! He’s now an alternate. But YES, JOHN STUART. Good pick, Genna!
Off to read the rest
Oh, and the Wilson brothers? Hrm. I’m googling as we speak… (Colleen, “Wilson brother sandwich” had me rolling. And also peaked my curiosity. Who ARE these Wilson brothers?!)
Oh, one more thing, I mention these to Mr. Flinger and he points out I like the outdoorsy, rugged young men with wavy/curly hair. Um. Yea. He’s bald, thirty-ish and not-so-much rugged. I told him he wouldn’t put some chick with a muffin top and stretch marks so we’re even.
And NOW I’m off to read the rest…
Now I get to show my age! Bruce Willis, Tom Hanks, Brad Pitt, George Clooney and Sean Connery !!! YUM YUM!
No particular order…
- Matthew McConaughey
- Matt Damon
- Jake Gyllenhaal
- Brad Pitt
- George Clooney
And Michelle, Will Smith was definitely a contender on my list! Just didn’t make the top five.
Five? Really? I think with the increasing population we should be allowed at least 10 these days.
It used to be Jon Stewart until I saw him in person and realized he is half my size, both height and weight.
John Cusack definitely.
Matthew Fox
Patrick Dempsey
Harrison Ford (I’m with ya on the Indiana Jones thing…)
Matt Damon
Brad Pitt
the only pattern I see is a thing for the adventurous type….
Did I mention Viggo? Viggo. Leggo of my Viggo!
Viggo Mortensen
Patrick Dempsey
Matthew McConaughey
Clive Owen
Lloyd Owen
Jude Law (Once I saw the Talented Mr. Ripley that was it), Josh Duhamel (Do I really need to elaborate?), Clive Owen, 50 cent (something about the bullet scars, actually there are quite a few rappers I have my eyes on) and Vince Vaughn (He cracks me up)
Dammit I forgot Vince Vaughn. Can I have ten, instead?
My husband didn’t want to have a five. Or even let me have a five! Like I ever would actually meet one of them and they’d be interested in me. But if I were to have a five, Hugh Laurie would be way up there. Also Josh Holloway, who I did meet. While we had our marriage pictures taken. Maybe that’s why I don’t get to have a five
That would have been one strange wedding night!
1. Patrick Dempsey
2. James Denton
3. Matthew McConaughey
4. Matthew Perry
5. Patrick Dempsey (does this increase my chances?)
No order here:
Colin Firth
Brad Pitt
Zach Braff
Matt Damon
Michael Vartan
Oh my gosh! I must share this with my husband—men’s sexual peak is at 17 and women’s is at 30?!! Because guess what?! I just turned 29 and I must say—I have turned into a 17 year old boy!!!
we’re having a girl’s night out on Friday and we WILL be discussing our 5—I’ll keep you posted!
ummm… just Five huh….
1. Keifer Sutherland
2. Josh Lucas (Sweet Home Alabama)
3. Ryan Gosling
4. Matt McConaughey
5. Vince Vaughn
I can’t believe I’m the only one so far who’s mentioned Keifer! Sure, he’s a little short…but he saves the world!
hahhahha…you are cracking me up. um. hmmm.
1) tom selleck (i know, old school. and old! we watch a lot of magnum reruns)
2) johnny depp
3) matthew fox
4)matt damon
5) jamie bamber
Ohhhhh, I like this game…!
My five:
Johnny Depp (Since 21 Jump Street and forever)
Orlando Bloom (my GOD that boy is hot)
Will Smith (have you seen the shower scene in I Robot?)
Josh Holloway (Sawyer on LOST. I just had the STEAMIEST dream about him the other night)
Hugh Jackman (curl up with THAT bod…)
And just to shake things up, honorable mention would go to:
Kat VonD (I know, I know… she’s a GIRL. But I have a total girlie crush on her. She’d hotter than bacon grease y’all!)
My, my, don’t we all LOVE this game! Your choices are excellent. Mine are:
1. Harry Connick Jr
2. Jon Bon Jovi
3. Yeah, as I think about it… John Krasinski definitely… yum…
4. Pierce Brosnan (Remington STEELE, dude)
5.
i’m so picky I’ve sat here for 15 minutes and can’t quite think who #5 would be. I’ll have to get back to ya.
OH, Harry Connick Jr! That’s a good one! And a lot of people have Orlando Bloom, too, but he doesn’t do it for me. Obviously doesn’t fit in to my “type”. But if he cut off his hair? And dyed it? And it turned a little wavy? Then yea, totally.
Y’all are killing me with the old men, too. I used to get CRAP for having Harrison Ford on mine but comeon! He’s HOT!
Hm don’t think the Hubs knows of my list but here it is…
George Clooney
John Krasinski
Kiefer Sutherland (as 24’s Jack Bauer - otherwise not so much)
Jon Bon Jovi
Vince Vaughn
Henry Ian Cusick (Lost)
Josh Holloway (Lost)
Matthew Fox (Lost)...see a pattern here?
Olivier Martinez
The new James Bond (forgetting his name)
Delicious, delicious, delicious!
I don’t have a “five” list. I just haven’t ever given it much thought.
Girl, I must say, you have a definite “type”.
These guys are all adorable, I totally understand why they are on your list.
I am thrilled to see so many ladies loving him, but you will have to fight me for my #1:
- Colin Firth
- Hugh Grant
(or a Colin Firth/Hugh Grant sandwich)
- John Cusack
- Henry Rollins
- And I’ll flip you for Zach Braff
and oooh. Christian Bale. And that kid who played Superman too.
I agree with the others. Given the world’s population explosion, the list should expand to 10.
By the way. Bjork is #1 on my husband’s list.
Oh, John Cusack, definitely. I can’t believe only one other person mentioned him!
Just a quick hey there and I want to be on your weight loss bloggy. (over from Erins. I think after this long I can quit saying that yes? )
My brother watched my house while I was in Oregon and apparently he has a flikr account. I got creeped out by his picture. I was commenting on you holding baby O on flickr trying to be cute and oops. Anyways. I will log out of his once I go see if its just his Wolfs pictures up and then log into mine and recomment. Sorry bout that. nothing to worry about. Deb
In no particular oder:
Jon Bon Jovi
Harry Connick jr
Adrian Pasar (from Entourage)
Jeremy Piven (also from Entourage but I have loved him forever!)
John Cusak - the man I always wanted to loose my virginity to….
You like smart, funny guys who smirk. Me, too! I married one.
