typical- adj 1: exhibiting the qualities or characteristics that identify a group or kind or category
I was using typical to indicate that if all men had the characteristics of Ballack, they would be very attractive, but that is not true by any means. The connotation of the word typical fits my reference, as does similar. But I must admit, that I do not find Oliver Kahn attractive at all. Using the term ugly in reference to him is entirely acceptable, if you take into consideration that he is beastly looking and is comparable to a retarded man with an over-hanging brow. I really have no response to your cat statement ... it was bizarre to say the least.
Kahn is an amazing keeper, as I have already stated. He is enjoyable to watch for his skill, not his looks. It is indeed possible to have feelings of attraction towards an inanimate object. There are many sick people out there, but my point was between Oliver Kahn and a brick, the brick would be more appealing to me even though it is an inanimate object and would be of no use to me.
