Michael has always been a very attractive man to me....and i am now 50 years old.....
I'm 21 and my friends would consider me a liiiiiittle freaky for being attracted to MJ.

In 1996, MJ was considered the 7th sexiest person aliveby some magazine.

Me too and me too. =/
I'll talk about/explain/defend/enlighten anyone on the subject of who he is and why he is great, but I'm very very selective about who I share my real personal feelings for him with.
May I throw out a few ideas? (These aren't directed at you, Princess Michaela, I think you'd probably agree with most of this).
How to share the love...
His Face. I think it would help fans wanting to share their enthusiasm with friends if they could openly acknowledge what their friends' biggest obstacle is. Most folks are simply not going to find very credible a critique from someone who denies MJ's facial changes were unfortunate. There's a lot of denial on this site.
Look, I know you all find his face beautiful no matter what, but you need to understand that this alone is what's going to always separate you from the rest of the pack. People are rethinking the pedophilia... but not the face, gang. They're trying to get used to in the movie, but it's really hard for them. Don't push it.
Acknowledge it. Say up front, yeah, I know about his face. Between the burns, the vitiligo, and botched surgery, what happened to his face is unfortunate. Just remind people that he was widely considered gorgeous during the Bad era, which was after most of the changes. But he became fed up with all the makeup to hide the vitiligo blotching and just depigmented his face. The changes became too prominent then. He should have explained sooner, but was incredibly embarrassed. People relate to this.
But tell them: there's more to a man, a singer, songwriter, and dancer than a pretty face! Explain that his sexiness is in how he MOVES!!!!! And in his singing and lyrics... And did I mention, how he MOVES?!!!!
Tell them there was little coverage of his sexual charisma, of the world tours sold out to millions of screaming, fainting women and men, because the media sold more papers showing MJ with his pet chimp.
About the pedophilia. It's no good to gush that he's a saint, an angel on earth, loves all children, and would never do such a thing... they're going to roll their eyes and stop listening. IF the following is true for you (and it SHOULD be), then say: "I've examined the evidence with an open mind. More information about the parents has come to light. And it looks pretty clear that the poor children's parents were extortionists who manipulated their own children. MJ's insurance company forced a quick settlement against his wishes so as to salvage the expensive tour he was on. And of course he was acquitted of all charges."
Do NOT bash the children involved in the allegations. MANY people have personal connections to abused children or were themselves -- it's friggin' RAMPANT. You MUST show great empathy for this. If you see this is upsetting them, it may be they themselves were abused. DROP IT. Your friends' trauma comes before your love for MJ.
Yes, MJ had a thing about children. Kenny Ortega in a recent interview said that, while on tour with MJ, as soon as they'd arrive at the next airport, MJ would say: Let's go visit the orphanage! And off they'd go! Yes, it's unusual. This was not your normal rockstar.
And leave it at that. Don't overdo it. Don't repeat debunked rumors, like "the boy has since recanted his story." No he hasn't. Don't overstate your case -- you'll look stupid. If you sound calm and objective, people will say, Wow, I didn't know that, I'll have to look into that.
^ That's a really tough question to answer regarding anything about Michael. It's such an integral part of his character. In fairness, I don't think you can separate the two. He would not be who he is.

Would you consider him a sex god if he couldn't sing and dance as well as he could?

Bo G...
About that shyness, I gotta add. That in itself made Michael sexy as heck.
Look how he is with Diana Ross, one of his truest loves in this clip...the man totally melts me in the way he looks at her here. He didn't hold back there at all showing his feelings.

This is the BEST thing I have ever read on this site to date. So many rep points are deserved for this. I reeeeally hope your advice is taken for what it is Major respect!!
^^^ Excellent, excellent, excellent. Every. single. point. Excellent. =) I think this should be a sticky, LoL. A lot of people (namely MJ...) could benefit from this advice.

But it wouldn't be as sexy if I knew he were ALWAYS shy. That can get old after awhile. Most people find a certain amount of confidence sexy in a partner. It's seeing him like this, this shy young gentleman gazing up with such adoration and unrequited love... AND KNOWING this shy boy is ALSO the world's most lusted-for sex god on stage. The absolutely unique contrast and the complexity, that will keep MJ's biographers busy for decades.
I tend to think he could have had his Diana, or his Brooke, if he weren't so shy offstage. Which could have spared him a lot of heartache...
I've known a very charismatic figure like Michael and he wasn't an entertainer. It's something mystical about these people. This person happened to be an executive in our company. When this guy walked into the room, heads did turn. I don't know what it was. He was good looking, but not exceptional. But there was something...
He had a phenomenal personality and had the ability to make everyone feel like he was a personal friend. He had a lot of responsibility, but he treated us all with such respect, most of us would kill for him. He was extremely successful, became a multi millionaire, but it didn't seem to change him. Therefore, he became powerful as well. You put power, with humility, kindness and respect for all and you have a very sexy individual.
PM this man's phone number to me NOW!
Okay, now I'm going to add a couple of other things about him that attests that even though someone can have all these phenomenal attributes, they can have issues...He was an alcoholic...he had an affair...
I would, most def! :wild::wub:
What, marry him? Girl, you must have more patience than I do!
I could not handle a rockstar personality. He had a bit too healthy a dose of that amidst all that sweetness-and-light.
He'd have made the world's greatest trophy boyfriend, though. :swoon:
MJ was a Sex God -- While Media Pretends Not to Notice
And he was actually very thrashed, especially in the latest years...
I think racism had a lot to do with that fact.
Becoz Michael Jackson was a black dude, who looked hispanic when he turned white.
(And to add more fire to this cocktail, he looked like a gay too)
BUt
Hispanic and black, thats not a good cocktail in racist countries XD
We've mostly been talking about media coverage in the U.S. and Europe, where there was very little talk about MJ being "sexy." What about Venezuela?
And how the hell do you say "sexy" in Spanish? (I speak a little, but don't know that).
