What are the characteristics of a handsome man?

Question

I understand the stereotype handsome feature like abbes and a strong jaw line, but is there any thing else. The reason for my questioning is to whether I myself is handsome or not. Also what do girls do when they walk by a handsome guy.

Any size in between 5'6/150lb---6'4/not too heavy(thick is fine and sometimes great) would probably be where I might find them. For me, characteristics might include, dark hair, jawline like you said, stubble, hands, teeth, deep voice, generally strong. My boyfriend  only has 3 of those in the bag, but I find him classically handsome. You don't need it ALL to be good looking. Just a few nice qualities and a kick ass personality. A bad attitude or an inflated ego will slash your good looks in half. And also not get you a chance with me anyway. If you were to link a picture, I would give you my honest opinion. But a guy can be chubby, short, skinny, or crazy tall and still be handsome. It depends. Like you can't just say being blond is hot. Some blonds are far from it. It also has a lot to do with preference. I like a strong looking guy, but I don't like visible abs or arms that constantly look flexed. I also care very little for fashion. This is just SUCH a vague question. Give me more specifics and I'll be happy to give you more of my honest thoughts

My boyfriend is 6', slim and toned, green eyes, pale skin, and curly brown hair. Of course, he has South American heritage which of course makes him even more physically attractive but quite frankly, the thing that mostly attracts me to him is the fact that his personality is very relaxed and masculine enough to catch my eye but also enough to be submissive and respectful.

I can tell you that I have met make guys who have clearly hit the genetic jackpot but their personality or overly cocky and egotistical personality features push me away to not even look twice.

As long as you're put together, have a great heart and smile, as well as you carry yourself with dignity and respect, you shouldn't have to worry about what you need to do to seem "handsome". You don't wanna be the guy who's sexuality is questioned. Just be yourself, love yourself and everything falls into place.

A distinguished and mature voice. Confidence in himself. Well dressed. Smart. Respectable.  A sex dragon in bed. Awesome smile. I love a great smile. Average  build. Funny. He has to be able to give and take a joke. Sweet.  Healthy. What one person think is attractive of a person is not always what another person may think is attractive.  Attraction is unique. I may have listed all these characteristics about what good looking man looks to me, but to be honest the mind and body gets attracted to whomever they want.

2 factors

lots of testosterone - show in the bone growth (strong jawlines etc) in the face not in the body and facial proportionality.

u said handsome MAN

boy is not developed bone structure and facial proportionality

these are gentic factors. others facs influence attractiveness like clothing but are not innate

ilovenate · Answer

For me, he's got to be between 5'10'' (minimum 5'9'') and 6'2'', and a handsome guy would have clear skin, long defined eyebrows (e.g. the Italian eyebrow), and not too built. He's gotta have nice eyes. (The eyebrow thing is a bonus.) Nice eyes, in the height range, and David Beckham's build. Anything bigger and I consider that fat-looking even if it's muscle.

When I walk by a handsome guy I wish I'd turn his head and if I do I hope he looks at me and we exchange a smile but I generally just freak out and don't even make eye contact and try not to make eye contact while he looks at me. Which come to think of it, is stupid of me. I just don't know how to look around in a relaxed way. Gotta learn to do that...

Ildskf · Answer

In my opinion, a man being "handsome" has more to do with the physical and more to do with how he presents himself...but I'm assuming you mean physical...I consider my Boyfriend to be very handsome...more of a baby faced innocent look...I don't really care for abs or a strong jaw line...I also like his blue eyes...

Answer mine? Thanks...

beehappy572 · Answer

His demeanor, really. When I walk by one I usually don't do anything. I do not know that person, so why put them on a pedastal? Maybe I'm jaded. But I used to smile at them or make eye contact..but then they might be taken..so I just don't want to do that either.

confugirl · Answer

Narrow eyes, but not lifted at the corners like an Asian man's

Fuller lower lip.

Defined cheekbones.

Thick neck.

That's your classic image of a handsome guy. Of course there are variations and everyone has a different idea of beauty, but this is the general trend I see in "handsome" men.

ColdFeet · Answer

I think it's the eyes. Some people seem very critical when they look at you and others seem to accept you just the way you are. Smiling, dancing, sympathetic, kind eyes. And he has to be relatively tall with non slouched shoulders...maybe long legs too...and nice hands...ok so maybe it's more than the eyes.

justbanANNAz · Answer

hmm.. well handsome for me is both physical and personality but ill stick to your question.

id say for me, its

tanned skin

dark hair

a good frame [love that V shape] with some level of muscle… as long as there's some definition there that's nice, doesn't have to be all model type.

taller than me lol

i mean anyone outside of these can still be handsome but these are my favourite:)

jokersgirl · Answer

I don't know "the" characteristics, but I think handsome is when a guy is genuine. He's opinionated, but not cocky. He'll be a gentleman when needed and a protector. Physically, I'd say broad shoulders, defined hands, strong jaw, and deep eyes. He can have long or short hair, as long as it looks good and is taken care  of.  I think handsome can be physical or personal.

For me a man has to be good in at least one sport to be called a man ! For some reason good athletes really impress me ! Looks wise I don't have high standards as such, just one that the man should look and act like a man, I hate feminized  men honestly ! Also he should not be fat (since I myself ain't fat at all !)
