Now I like Barnabas but really ladies. . a **hunk**?? I don't think so, I don't see it not at all. . Explain please. . .
Yes, I agree. "Hunk" is not the word I would use. In fact, to me, it's got kind of yucky connotations. Like a dopey guy in an awful tank top.
Barney is, however, extremely hot. Why? Because it has to do with the person, not whether he has classic good looks or not. He was just really, really sexy. The way Frid portrayed him, he was so complex. In a single episode, you wanted to kiss him, slap him and then take care of him.
Of course, in combination with this, physically there was an awful lot to like as well, IMNSHO: The eyes, the voice, the tall, slim bod, the suits, the hands, the hair (when they weren't mucking it up), the...uh-oh I better stop now.
