Well, I cannot speak as to the show, but in the book? I did imagine him as good-looking and we get no real sense of her reaction to his political support and its motivation, actually. It is not all that clear that he IS actually interested (sexually, though yes politically, everyone has an agenda and he is definitely a father figure, mostly due to the lack of any other older male in her life than any gift for it, obviously) and it seems like she is interested in any and all ways to get a handle on people around her for her own goals and hardly cares either way as long as she is not physically threatened.

She definitely was traumatized by her initial experience of sex and does not seem likely to get over it any day soon, but then again I get the impression that people who watch the show think her marriage was the love story of the ages?

So obviously people's take on her situation and her opinion/reaction to the men around her is a bit more complex than you make it sound.

Certainly in the books he is not one of the characters explicitly described as physically repugnant -which is the majority of the male characters, now that I think about it- on the contrary, one gets the impression that he was probably quite good-looking once.
