Now, I understand that many people will disagree with me on this, but I don't find Ryan Gosling classically good-looking. But, I do find him sexy as hell. Mind you, when I Googled "What is considered good looking" (hoping to find a line-diagram of what is considered good-looking), the first image that came up was of Ryan Gosling, so what do I know?

At this point, after trying to research what was considered an attractive face, Ryan Gosling had appeared on so many lists, that I've accepted that I'm wrong, and he is classically good-looking... but, that still doesn't answer why some men (and women) are not necessarily physically attractive, but yet are sexy as hell. There are a number of actors (male and female) that I think are incredibly sexy, but not necessarily handsome/pretty and I've genuinely been trying to think what it is about them that's appealing. Likewise, there are several good-looking men and women that I think aren't sexy at all.
I can't say that I've come up with an amazing list for you. The biggest things (for me, at least) are their smile and how active their eyes are - do they move their brows? Is there a look of mischief in their eyes? Do any lines on their face indicate that they smile more than they frown? Do they appear warm and genuine? Are they quietly confident, rather than overtly so? Do they seem happy in their skin?
What do others find appealing? If you were describing why someone was sexy, what would you include? As writers, there's the mantra 'show don't tell' - how would you show that someone was sexy, rather than telling the reader? Drop me your thoughts in the comments?
I totally agree, I know Ryan doesn’t have conventional handsome features but he is definitely hot. Probably for all the reasons you listed.
ReplyDeleteI thought this might be of interest to you, a video on YouTube of someone who has used the golden ratio face to see if Ryan has a perfect face :). He’s still hot as fuck regardless but obviously it’s just for fun.

I agree with everything you’ve written. Ryan isn’t technically conventionally handsome but he is still sexy. I thought this YouTube video might be of interest to you as it Photoshops celebrities using the golden ratio face to see if they’re ‘perfect’. Obviously no one really is but there is a video of the guy doing it to Ryan’s face (he’s still hot af regardless). https://youtu.be/no4mbqAawvA
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing that! He looks like a different person at the end of the video!
