It saddens me that Seth Cohen isn't considered attractive...


Great bone structure with sharp, defined edges, symmetrical features, witty and articulate, smart and genuinely funny. I have nothing on him, I feel like a bum.

Oh but he is. During the show's run he was considered as the world's sexiest nerd. Thanks to him Nerds were considered cool.

Claire's used to sell rings that said mrs. Ryan Atwood as well as mrs. Seth Cohen. Ahh, Claires.

LOL Who said Seth Cohen is not considered attractive? Adam Brody is hot. He's not my type, but he's definitely attractive and most people thought so I'm sure.

I remember all the girls in college really loved Adam Brody. As a first time viewer who is 30 now, I find Adam Brody attractive but the Seth Cohen character to not be. He's kind of someone you grow out of fast. He's annoying and selfish. I don't even understand how both Anna and Summer liked him in the first season...except for the competition between them.

Exactly. I developed a huge crush on Adam after binge-watching Gilmore Girls but I had seen him before in Jennifer's Body and Lovelace. In those films, he didn't really do it for me. With The O.C., he still looks attractive but I doubt I would've had a major crush on Adam if I had seen this show before GG.

Well, I meant in the context of the show. At the start he was pictured as this really nerdy guy who couldn't get a girlfriend. I found that totally unbelievable.

Adam Brody was kind of a sex symbol at the time among teen girls. My cousin's instant message handle was literally 'Mrs. Adam Brody.'

I think you are mixing up the actual actor, with the character. He portrays a nerd and so you have to think of him as a nerd. Then, when looking at his character in that way, you would have to ask yourself if you found him attractive.

If one were to look at Seth Cohen, as he is, it would be unbelievable that no gal would find him attractive, even as a nerd. In real life, nerds do not look as good as his character.

THERE IS NOTHING TO FEAR. COLLEGE FOOTBALL IS HERE!!!

I loved Adam Brody from the time he was Dave, Lane's super charming boyfriend on Gilmore Girls. He is crazy sexy and totally my type.
