Who would you want to look like if you were the opposite gender? →[More:]If I had to go through life as a woman, I think I could do worse than go through it looking like Emmy Rossum.

Maybe a slightly less scrawny version of Lana Del Rey.

Mmm, probably about like this.

Sigourney Weaver. I'm a pretty big guy and it's hard for me to imagine myself as anyone smaller than her.

I would want to look like Jared Leto.

I would probably actually look more than a little like Jon Heder

Until I clicked the link I thought Jared Leto was the guy who lost weight eating at subway.

I always, always get Jared Leto and James Franco mixed up. It's because of My So Called Life and Freaks and Geeks and their characters.

Anyway, I'd want to look like Matt Damon. Non-threatening good looks. (and interestingly, totally not my type)

Bailey Quarters with Donna Pinciotti's red hair. Or, Patti Smith if I were a lesbian. Laura Dern would also be tempting.

I can't say Joan Jett because my ex was totally rocking Jett's look when I met her. When "Fit To Be Tied" came out, my ex was already wearing the identical look that Joan had on the cover.

This is hard! I can think of so many women I'd love to look like, but for some reason picking a guy is difficult. BUT I think I'll go with Colin Firth. He's normal yet attractive and the extra height would be welcome.

I'd like to look like David Beckham, but without all the tattoos. I think he's really handsome (he's got much better looking into his 30s than when he was boyish in his 20s) and he has a great body. Too many tatts for my liking though.

Cary Grant.

I'm so used to looking like me. I suppose I'd want to look like my older brother; we look very similar, male/female versions of just about the same face.

Well, BP and another thing got me to look up "Video Games." She's got charisma, but I don't know how she pulls the bears.

Weird question. My reaction is I'd be me as a guy. There are so many ways to interpret this, I don't know where to start.
Like in a Being John Malkovich situation?

Hmm. If we're going purely for looks, then probably anything that would get me on this list. If one gets to do it all over again, one may as well have a great deal more sex, among other things.

I've never really wanted to be a man, but it would be awesome to have the fitness and strength of a really healthy, well-built guy, for those times when I feel like running up mountains and climbing cliffs (and kicking ass and taking names).
