let's put it this way....jefferson had children (that he eventually freed then when they turned age 21) and franklin openly wrote (in a letter to a friend) about his wild night with prostitutes, and admitted he had a grand time......now draw your own conclusions. you do not find them attractive, but money to some is a HUGE attraction, and they were both considered very wealthy for their day and time.

Lady, Benjamin Franklin was one of the Greatest ladies men of all time, plus he was loaded, but besides that, he was just really smooth, im not sure Jefferson was, he was kind of shy, except for that slave women.

Personally no, I find neither attractive. . . Jefferson had an affair with a slave (Sally Hemmings)...which was disputed for many years until recently with the DNA testing.. . They spent time together in Paris.. . Ben...lol....I could see as quite lively and energetic(there have been stories)...and of course quite an intellectual.. . Both were also wealthy.
