My reaction to the "Giles is old! Ick!" statements is always a restrained sob and a virtual pat on the shoulder accompanied by "Someday, when you are a woman, you will understand, my dear." And I go back to mentally cataloging every lucious crag on ASH's face. Oh, and counting the imperfectly disguised lines on JM, too, while I'm at it.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

I only hope I meet a man that old and decrepit one day.

That's pretty much what I did. And I tend to counter the 'they're straight' arguments with 'oh yeah? Giles and Ethan? Look again. Spike and Xander? Look again." I turned one person on to the HoYay that way.
Which sounds appropriately porny on re-reading.

I don't find Giles, or ASH, hot, personally. It's not really an Eww! He's old! -type thing; it's more, I think, just the dykier-than-thou of my parts getting up and waving their arms. I just can't understand, viscerally or intellectually, any of the appeal.
Steph to me on the phone: That's just-- that's just wrong! Even-- chairs should find Giles hot!

Well, they SHOULD!!!
I think *everyone*, regardless of gender or preference of nookie partner, should find Giles hot.

Well nyah nyah nyah I can't hear you. He's no more sexual to me than a coatrack, or a birthday cake. Not a naughty birthday cake, just one made with the mix from the store.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

You know. They look like genitalia, or shit.
Not that I've actually ever seen one. But they are the stuff of myth.
