Hey, Good Lookin' - But Just What Is That?

most men seem to age better than women, i dont know why but i suppose its because their faces become more charactarised and that suits a male more than a female.

my idea of a good looking woman is someone who looks natural, has nice hair, nice eyes, little make up, absolutely no fake tan and she has to smile, i think the "pouting" look that a lot of women have just makes them look stupid. good looks to me are natural, friendly and confident, not necessarily strikingly beautiful.

when i was younger i had a crush on demi moore, i didn't see her on tv or in a movie for quite a few years but i recently saw her online and she looks even better now.

Good looking is indeed in the eye of the beholder!

Good looking on the screen are types like Richard Gere, Kevin Costner and Gregory Peck.
However in real life my idea is completely the opposite. I am fascinated by those types who have something to show for having lived, some sort of signs of life on them. It could be laugh lines or hands that have done some work (not those of a banker for example). Rather than those types who are all dolled up in collar and tie I prefer an unkempt look, almost gypsy style.

Here many males use the gym and think they are so fascinating with all their muscles 'pumped up' - not to me they are not There are as many men having hair dos as women here and Italian fashion caters for the males as much as the females. Then they parade here just as much, if not more than the girls do - amusing to watch too

I think the best looking man I have ever seen, is Sean Connery you took the words right of my mouth.

"beauty is in the eye of the beholder". who i think is beautiful or handsome may not appeal to the peron standing next to me.

I would agree that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I have to say looks are not everything from what I have seen. I would say that some people do get more beautiful with age and as you said Sean Connery is a perfect example.

In my experience I have always been attracted to any one with green eyes for some reason. Anyone I have ever met in my life that had green eyes were always very beautiful.

But at the end of the day i would never judge anyone on their looks, I would always dig deeper and find out the real them.

I would agree that men these days are very mindful of their appearance, we are in an age of equality, so why not.

But at the end of the day personality will win over beauty any day.

"I don't really understand the appeal of Brad Pitt" oh that just kills me reading that as I love Brad Pitt! Men I'm still mad that Angelina got him before me!

But in general I think I would describe a good looking man as someone with a not so square shape jaw line, no beard or moustache, a rather broad chest, reasonably tall, with a six pack muscle lines, with dark colored hair and a squeezable butt!! well at least that would describe the kind of bloke that would get my attention. a bit of John Bon Jovi mixed with David Beckham and throw in Vin Diesel.. wwwwoooooofffff!!

I would have to agree with the cliche phrase, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder." Each person has his or her own opinion of what beauty is, although their opinions are certainly influenced by their environment: friends, family, location, age (targeted by media)..etc. I myself am only able to find someone truly beautiful after having spoken with them and learned their personality. The more I like someone's personality, the more wonderful they are to me. Their beauty increases in my mind. That's not to say that I don't find many people physically attractive. For example James Franco, who played the role of Harry in the "Spiderman" series and the main character in Tristan and Isolde, is a very attractive man with dark hair, and a great face and body. Scarlet Johanson is one of my favorite actresses who is also quite attractive. All this being said, I wish to emphasize that physical appearance is merely one part of beauty. Raw animal attraction may draw you to a person, but (and bare with me through this cheesy phrasing)it is the inner beauty that keeps you wanting more: knowledge of, time with, affection of that person.

Also, Bruce Willis is one of my favorite actors. He manages to pull off the bald look and maintains a youthful appearance as he matures. "The Sixth Sense" and "The Whole Nine Yards" are two of my favorite films in which he has acted.

I may have to disagree about Tom Cruise. I have come to dislike his acting as he has grown older. Most of his younger films had a unique angle and his newer films, with the exception of "Valkyrie," have similar action based angles. "A Few Good Men" is one of my favorite films and Demi Moore co-stars. If you haven't seen this movie, I highly recommend it.

Beauty is subjective indeed. Like you, I do not necessarily find certain 'heartthrobs" as attractive as the media makes describes them; for example Tom Cruise I cannot stand, George Clooney good looking yes but not attractive to me, Sean Connery I have never found particularly appealing but as far as Brad Pitt goes...Yes! To me he is the most beautiful looking man!

As for the women, I consider Demi Moore very striking but I don't know how much of her is 'real' these days. I think Helen Mirren is a naturally very beautiful woman
who by the looks hasn't resorted to the taut face and inflated lips results of plastic surgery. Susan Sarandon is another natural beauty aging gracefully if we are to believe what we read! (LOL)
