Simon Cowell’s general appeal is often up for debate on this site. Some of us (I think it’s just me and Syko) find something attractive in Cowell. Something about his accent, his tight t-shirts, his aggressive manner, or maybe his slightly jaded sense of humor, but there’s something there. Now one of Cowell’s ex-girlfriends, singer Sinitta, is telling all about her one-time love, and now friend. Apparently, if you’re an exotic-looking girl (I take that to mean “dark”) with a good figure (boobs), Simon Cowell will probably try to have sex with you, because sex is “really important” to him.
Sinitta wants to find the perfect partner for her ex Simon Cowell. The music mogul, 49, split from TV presenter Terri Seymour, 34, last year.
‘Sex is so important to Simon – that’s his trouble,’ she explains. ‘It clouds his judgement. But I know what he really wants…someone to be his companion, his buddy, his mentor, someone who can put up with his work ethic. He does have this problem, though. It’s called a roving eye. And he would always want a get-out card so he could still play with his mates and not mess up his relationship.’
Sinitta, 40, says she can easily spot the kind of women Simon likes.
‘I could walk into a room and immediately spot the type of girl he’d go for,’ she tells the Sunday Mirror. ‘It would be the exotic-looking one with the curly hair and great figure.
‘He loves bright women with something to say for themselves who are also strong and creative in their own right.’
The whole “roving eye” doesn’t come as a galloping shock to me. Cowell has the look of a womanizer, and a man isn’t single at the age of 49 for no reason. But at least he takes care of his ex-girlfriends, and stays friends with them. His last girlfriend, Terry Seymour, even got a multi-million dollar house out of the break-up, so it’s not all bad news. The only bad news (for me) is that I don’t have curly hair. Do you think he would go for an exotic-looking girl with straight hair?

I have to say that this guy grosses me out. A confident man is attractive but this arrogant man is just a big boobed, buzzed cut hair ball.
I can’t possibly ever see myself finding him attractive, but I can certainly see why some girls would. And not just because of the generous severance package! The man does have a certain brand of charisma for sure.
A guy who only goes for “exotic-looking” girls kind of weirds me out, but maybe he just loves their personalities…
You could always get a perm! But at your own risk.
@MoJo: “A guy who only goes for “exotic-looking” girls kind of weirds me out, but maybe he just loves their personalities…”
What the hell does THAT mean?
I love Simon Cowell’s attitude through the tv, but I can’t imagine dating someone so smug in real life.
@Baholicious Er, sorry, I didn’t word that right. I guess what I was trying to say is that some guys who go for a specific physical type (e.g., white guys who only dig non-white girls, black guys who only want to date white girls), they don’t see them as individual women with personalities but fetishize the type. Does that make sense? Like, I wouldn’t want a guy to dig me because I’m Asian, and exotic is cool and different, but because I’m an interesting individual. (Those kind of guys make me so uncomfortable!)
Not that I’m saying Simon (or everyone else) is that way. Just that some people are. I know some people just have a “type,” in a very innocuous way.
Crystal clear now Mojo, thanks.
‘It would be the exotic-looking one with the curly hair and great figure. He loves bright women with something to say for themselves who are also strong and creative in their own right.’
It sounds like she’s describing Terry Seymour… maybe he misses her!
I can’t stand this man. He is a run of the mill one-trick pony of a “judge” on a staged TV competition.
I’m overly desensitized, but nothing this man says shocks me…I can’t help but roll my eyes at this chump and everything that he reads off the teleprompter.
I digress.
But yeah, I’m not shocked by this piece of news. He seems like the overly selective, commitment-phobic type.
lets put it out there simon loves the sisters I mean the dark and lovely
Uh Oh, Simon really stepped in it this time.
And to the person who thinks it’s weird for men to prefer exotic women (like my husband, who says he simply feels more relaxed around black women, and likes dark skin), how is it any different from the way American society ‘fetishises’ white women, or blondes?
Funny how it’s only a problem when that type is excluded (for once).
Sunny, Mojo already clarified her point on that.
And can I just say that “exotic” women is not just limited to black women. There’s south asian women (of which I am half), oriental, native indian and latina women of the caribbean, central and south america – and the various mixtures of all of these ethnicities.
If anything, black women are hardly exotic in the United States, whereas they are in Scandinavia. Blonde white women are exotic in the middle east and anywhere else the population is darker. Red-heads are exotic pretty much everywhere 😉
so, black women aren’t exotic in the US, despite being a minority, and blondes and redheads are, even though they predominate in the US and Europe. hmm. Ok. I don’t even need to touch that one.
I also didn’t say that black women are the only exotic ones, I was just using a personal example, because I can’t claim to speak for all ‘exotic’ women.
But you know, to each his own…
Sunny, I’m not going to belabour a point when you need to get a clue. Pick up a dictionary and look up the word ‘exotic.’ Then go back and re-read my post in the context in which it was intended.
I like Simon, he’s refreshingly honest and he’s funny.
The “unidentified exotic woman” in the picture with him and Sinetta is another ex girlfriend, Jackie St Clair.
But I can’t believe how hairy he is, gross, gross, gross. I’m a mix of jewish and jamaican, with half ‘jewfro’ (as its affectionately called) and half afro caribbean hair – what am I?!?!? Just weird, I think XD!! As exotic as pot noodle.
i love asian girls they are so hot
Oh my! How I’d give anything to be on the back of that jet ski with him. GORGEOUS!
Only one exotic woman I know of that perfectly fits his expectations: Paula Abdul.
Diversity is great! Who can blame Cowell?
*raises eyebrows* That description sounds eerily like Paula Abdul…She’s got a great figure, curly dark hair, and she’s very bright and creative. Need I say more?
