I'm in my thirties and I go for older men. Which is why I'm a David Tennant fangirl. Well, you have good taste. :)
I heard about the audition thing. The Tenth Doctor was like a pg-13 Casanova. Yes, that's the perfect description!
The Daleks kind of represented what the Nazi's were like Well, yes. Space Nazis. :)
In the old series the champions didn't end up in some kind of lip-lock with the Doctor. Between the Tenth Doctor and the Eleventh Doctor, it felt like he was becoming "The Bachelor of Space". Well, they were young and handsome. For no one to notice would have been odd. Even though the kisses were unromantic, sexual tension was introduced into the new series. Weeeeell. I shall quote the Moff himself:
"[on the Doctor and romance] It's always been there. He travels with pretty girls. I recently watched, again, the final scene of The Green Death, and - apart from being just stunningly good, as good as you get, just gorgeous - that's not a paternal goodbye. It's not! It just isn't! He can't even look the other bloke in the face, and off he sulks in his car. He's a man absolutely in love. There is a sort of a fan conception of the Doctor as being emotionally aloof and distant, but I don't see any of it on television. When has he been aloof and distant? I can't think of an emotion, from the petty to the epic, that he hasn't expressed. He's emotionally incontinent - he loses his temper, he has ridiculous affections for idiots. At what point is this man Sherlock Holmes or Mr. Spock? And when has he ever turned round and said he has no interest in the opposite sex?"
Not to say that maybe it isn't more overt now. But it didn't come from nowhere. :)
