His GLASSES! Heehee.
I always wanted to hear his accent. I loved seeing the Australian accent written down.

But maybe if we had American accents, and then used the American accents to say things like "groit" and "Melry", then we'd sound Australian?

Agreed, too, but I still like Ben. I picture him and Mal both differently - beautiful on the outside, too ;D Some of the pictures are just.... Wow is a good word, Hitzpink!

OMG, that picture. He's like a nerdier Mark Cohen who hasn't grown into his head yet ;D

^ Aw, poor Ben ;D He does seem like such a sweet guy. I always like him and reading about his relationship with Mal and his brothers. Could almost see him as becoming another associate member since he’s so good with the kids. Just another point on looks is that I think it’s a shame that they didn’t make Ben extremely cute because it would have been interesting to see “will someday be pretty” Mal with the bad image of her own looks having a relationship with someone who is obviously good looking on the outside as well as the inside. I think this would have added some more complications and issues. Also think it would have been interesting to have looks-conscious Stacey or Claudia liking a kind of dorky looking boy (though I doubt they would – they seem almost too shallow) and how they would react. I would guess they wouldn’t admit it but wonder how they would feel about it. Interesting possible alternate plots….

^ I never got the impression that they were really dorky looking, though. Maybe I'm missing a reference. Stacey never would admit to liking someone not cute, agreed.

Josh is described as looking like a "chipmunk" and he's younger and alan gray is definitely not a hip guy at sms, regardless of looks.

^ Poor Josh When is he described as that? That's kind of mean. Agree about him being younger and was always surprised that Claud dated him. They didn't seem like a good couple because of the bit of discomfort I sensed she felt about going out with him. Didn't read the ones where she dates Alan - assume it's in a FF, which I haven't read. I probably picture them both as cute because I like them ;D And I tend to picture all of the characters different than they are described (Bart who I can't stand looks like a dork in my mind ;D) I was just reading Mal Hates Boys and Gym and it said how Ben's looks (not a "hunk" by movie star standards but has a cute accent) and the fact that he wears glasses made her feel less insecure. I wonder if she would have dated him if he had been a "hunk" or if she would have felt somehow unworthy.

Claudia was completely desperate for attention from anyone she could get it from. I'm not surprised she dated Josh. I always thought he was too good for her, actually.

I pictured Ben as being both cute and dorky, which I think is very possible. I think he had good features and had a lot of potential to be handsome someday but was going through a dorky phase. That's how I see him anyway.
