I think he looks Tom Cruisey. Except for that porno mustache, of course.

Maybe Tom should grow one to increase his box office draw.

The haziness of the photo proves: “he’s dreamy.”

That reminds me of the time a friend and I were talking about the fact that a show we both liked had such good eye candy. We were talking about it for a while, until she said something that made me go “wait a minute…” Sure enough, she was talking about the young blond guy. I was talking about the older, darker guy. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Maybe its a milk and orange juice thing? Awesome separate but mixed together its gross? But by that logic, a dreamsicle would be gross.

Maybe comparing life to breakfast beverages isn’t as sound a philosophy as I originally thought.

It’s pretty much identical to any averaged set of photographs of mostly white dudes, given enough pictures. Maybe slightly more conventionally attractive. Maybe. Averaged photos tend to be blandly attractive because they cancel out all the asymmetries, creating regular, symmetrical (i.e. “attractive”) faces, but they also remove all the individual elements that make a face stand out as particularly attractive.

He looks pretty generic. I guess that’s the point…

The paint companies named the blandest beige (think '80s computer housing) “cadet gray”

I much preferred Captain Scarlet. But there is a certain similarity with Jimmy Carr.

I have read that symmetry has been shown to be vastly important in peoples decisions about attractiveness, all be it subconscious. That leaves me out as my left ear is headed north to get away from my right ear. I snicker when opticians struggle to try to get glasses to sit right on my otherwise stunningly evocative face.
