Matt: I'm not sure if I have a lot to say on the matter. I think the short answer is no, partly based on limited exposure.
Me: Here is a picture of her naked!
Matt: Is that supposed to be a sexy pose? I think I'm more interested in the chair. That looks like a comfy chair.
It's like that thing I've heard attributed to Iggy Pop..."I don't hate you, I don't even think about you." It's not that I find Lady Gaga unsexy, I just never think about Lady Gaga. Whereas as a teenager, I found Madonna videos titillating, and looked forward to them coming on VH1 or something.
Y'know, I don't really think so. Her appeal is based on something other than attractiveness, like it's based on sorta vaguely avant-garde sexual energy, the otherwordliness of her entire persona...
But yeah, not based on attractiveness. She's kinda Prince-like in that respect, although obviously nowhere nearly as talented or interesting. So yeah, Lady Gaga = crappier Prince, in my mind.
Ed note: WTF, Prince is totally hot.
Not my taste, personally. She just doesn't have that pretty a face. I just like Dominicans and foxy Jewesses, so that's my thing.
I mean, objectively, she's an attractive woman. I guess I've never really thought of her as hot. Maybe because she is always wearing such insane outfits. I think once you reach levels of Michael Jackson-Madonna outlandishness, to me you lose that kind of accessibility that's required to be attracted to someone. It's like being attracted to a cartoon character.

I wish I found Lady Gaga hot, because her image is everywhere and she sure seems like an interesting gal. But alas, no. I also wish her sophomore record's singles were as good as the ones on the first one. But alas, nope.
Bob: I definitely do not. I just think her face is not nice to look at.
Me: I haven't talked to a single straight guy who thinks she's hot yet!
Bob: So, here's what I think it might be on top of that.
She has that whole Madonna-ish thing of being kind of a gay/tranny icon and embracing that, dressing up as a dude at the VMAs, etc. That is a bit of a boner-killer.
She obviously has a killer body, but the face is a minus, and her shtick is a turnoff. And this is coming from someone with a big crush on Bjork. I'm down with weirdos.
I have to honestly say that I think Lady Gaga looks like a small, expensive horse, and I wouldn't touch that shit for any amount of money.
Bill: The first thing that came to mind was "If I was playing fuck, marry, kill, I would definitely fuck her." She's got the crazy dirty sex appeal thing going on, but she seems like a volcano of crazy that few men could handle for more than one night. But... that one night would be pretty awesome.
Me: You are the first person who has said they would fuck her!
Bill: That's unfortunate. She's kitschy and not completely original, but she sure puts her shoulder into performing and trying to make people happy and feel good about themselves. There is certainly something sexy about that. I hate to admit I'm growing up, but I guess it's not always about how a girl looks anymore. Plus, I would bet when she's not wearing false spiky cheeks that she looks just fine.
I think Gaga is pretty, although I've heard many guys say otherwise. I happen to love imperfections and she has just enough to be alluring. I think most guys are distracted by her disguises/costumes. She rarely shows her eyes/face, which probably makes sex appeal tougher to provoke. And I don't find her so sexy even though I'm a big fan of haute couture.
To be entirely honest, I think it's necessary to see a person up close to be able to assess their sexual appeal. So much goes into that call: the way they move, the way they look at everything around them, and, of course, a certain dose of that I-don't-know-what, aka chemistry.
As far as I can tell, I don't find her attractive, sexy, or "hot." She doesn't exude sex appeal, as far as I'm concerned. Madonna was much sexier.
I find Lady Gaga attractive! She's kind of androgynous but that's part of the appeal, I think? I also find it hard not to be at least a little attracted to anyone who is clearly very committed to what they do.
