I think I have a man crush on Uchtdorf. I feel butterflies in my stomach when I see him.

Revolting, but exciting all at once.

While not a lady, I appreciate President Uchtdorf for speaking on traditional mainstream Christian topics like loving one another. Messages like he gives tend to get lost among stories of valiant Polynesian divers whose faith saved them from giant conch shells and requests for more donations.

This.

To sum up what's already pretty much been said, he's "exotic," but also presents a more approachable and human demeanor than many other church authorities. I also think the fact that his conference talks stress compassion and concern over dire warnings and guilt-tripping is another reason he is well liked.
