What? Are you all implying Simon /doesn't/ have soulful angst?
*blissful sigh*
This thread needs more 'hot damn Simon!' love, so I'm giving it some. And adding for the record that I actually find Simon's personal struggle to accept his new life and figure out where he fits as interesting, if not more, than Mal's.

Yes Simon is all with the yum and all of that goodness.
Mal too. much yum and mindless shagging.
my heart though, belongs to Wash. besides the Uber cute factor he makes me laugh. A man that can make me laugh will go a LONG way in my book. If only I knew how to get around Zoe he would be MINE!!

'Hahaha! Mine is an evil laugh!'

I love Jayne. He's great!
But my heart has belonged to Mal since before I saw Nathan on OLTL.
Although Simon does have great abs.....
I don't ask for much - just Firefly back on the air once a week.... oh, and maybe world peace.

Heh, thought I was the only one who liked Jayne. Yeah, he isn't the smartest guy, but still...

I am with you regarding Sean's sheer yumminess. I too watched those scenes more than healthy. He also has a soulful aspect, and in some ways represents a younger Mal.
Mal lost everything in the battle of Serenity, and Simon has lost everything in an effort to save his sister. I was waiting for times in the series where Mal finds his annoyance with Simon tempered with the realization that he sees a lot of Simon in himself. Stubborn, loyal and determined. His own sort of strength that he was just beginning to find. In a way, as shown in the series, Mal is more the father, and Simon more the son, than either of them realize.

I am a human male and am NOT sly.
That having been said, I think Jayne is the Yummiest followed closely by Mal then Wash and I think i'd even prefer Book to Simon.. Simon just doesn't do it for me.

I'm with the women who think funny is sexy...and not necessarily the wise-cracking kind of funny, either. I adore Wash, and Jayne--or maybe really Adam, because it's HIS sense of humour that makes Jayne sparkle...
But when Mal does a laughing look or a gesture (like when Saffron first puts the "tree" on his head and he turns to Jayne, or when he and Jayne exchange that look when Badger says, "I've got my hands on two of them...") my toes curl.
Whew. Gotta go to work now. Do I have time for a cold shower first?

Okay, I'm gonna get lynched for this, but it's gotta be said...
I like Simon as a character, but the Sean Maher needs to finish growing up before he can rock my world. I have real difficulty getting into him being sexy, abs or no, until he earns some more hair on his chest. The smooth-chested teenage boy thing really doesn't do anything for me. (No offense to Sean as a person - he's a fantastic actor, just doesn't do it for me physically...)
If we're only talking about looks/sex appeal, Adam and Nathan in that order. I'm one who goes for the strong, muscular, grown-men type men. (I'll show you a pic of my hubby sometime - case in point!
) To understand what I mean, you gotta know that I'm an arm girl... Most women look at a man's abs or backside... For me, those can be in need of work, but if the guy's got guns... *sigh*
*blink* Anyway...
That being said, for personality, it's gotta be Alan (Wash) every time. I've dated more than my share of brooders and cute-but-not-all-there, and had my fill. Give me a man with a great smile and a great sense of humor any day! Ron (Book) is also pretty close to my heart - smart, caring, serene, who wouldn't love Book just on general principal?
Um, wait... What was the question? Okay, maybe I should just sum up that I love all the guys for their own unique reasons, but if the topic is sex appeal, I gotta go with Jayne...
(Huh! Who'd've thunk?)
~A~
...I'm still free,
You can't take the sky from me.

I think Simon does have an angst-factor. Simon's angst-factor however, for me, is nowhere near Mal's angst-factor. I always love the characters with the deep, lost everything, but going to keep pushing attitude.
Yeah, Simon lost all his material goods but he didn't lose his faith or what kept him going mentally. And while it was interesting watching Simon adjust to living on the outskirts of society, it gets tiresome after a few episodes of him blundering about unintentionally insulting those he's living with.
The gushiness for me goes in this order from greatest to least: Mal, Jayne, Wash, Simon, and Book. I'd have to know more about Book before he can move from dead last.

and one more Simon lover here.
I can see what's attractive about Mal and Wash but for me Simon is the only really irresistible man on Serenity. and I can't see anything in or about Jayne, he's just big and dumb and hairy and not attractiv outside or inside. sorry folks, there have to be differnet tastes or we would all fight for the same guy.
Simon for me is the most funny and interesting. I have to smile obout almost everything he says. it's some kind of dry understatement kind or humor. he looks at his surroundings with a kind of detatched sarcasm and then again he seems to be deeply involved in everything around him. his devotion to his sister is very attractive, too. and he simply looks magnificent. slim hips, broad chest, exactly the right amount of muscle in the right places, smooth skin. Mal is too evenly build for my taste, I'm not sure how to describe it. the other actor I find physically irresistible near to perfect male is James Marsters (Spike on Buffy). seems I'm not so much a fan of the big guy physique more the slim but muscular ones, not too tall not too broad or heavy build but not scrawny or lanky either.
it's a matter of taste and not too important as in most of us don't judge their men by their bodies (alone) but I sure can sympathise with your friend going all "awwww" over Simon/Sean Maher. he's pure eye candy for some of us ladies.
