Benedict Cumberbatch. ‘Nuff said. Goode, Gosling, Hiddleston, Craig - I can understand why those guys may not have all the ingredients necessary to turn a particular woman's crank. But none of them are flat out revolting like Cumberbatch.

Whatever it is that Ryan Gosling supposedly "has", I don't get it. I was so confused when I watched The Notebook. All I could think was, "Bitch, you were engaged to JAMES MARSDEN. WTF is wrong with you?!".

Benedict Cumberbatch. ‘Nuff said. I really don't get him. Sherlock was boring, and his other stuff isn't much better. Elementary was more interesting as a modern Sherlock IMO.

I've (briefly) met Cumberbatch IRL. He had charisma and was a sweetheart. This was during Star Trek, so he looked good-- I remember thinking he was much better looking IRL because prior to that, I thought he looked creepy. I definitely think he's an acquired taste. Gosling is fine--I don't really think about him, though I do enjoy him on Graham Norton. I love Goode and Craig, so I'll show myself out.
I still don't understand Jon Hamm, Bradley Cooper, Johnny Depp (pre-meltdown), Taylor Lautner, Robert Pattinson, or Ryan Reynolds (though the meme of him on the porch drinking wine during Hiddleswift was comedy gold). Tom Cruise (pre-crazy), Brad Pitt and George Clooney also never raised my pulse, but I will admit they are good looking men. I've just never associated them with being sexy.

Tom Cruise (pre-crazy), Brad Pitt and George Clooney also never raised my pulse, but I will admit they are good looking men. I've just never associated them with being sexy. Minus a freshly showered Ryan Reynolds, and early career Brad Pitt, I agree with your entire post. I think RR is more attractive because I find him so funny. Brad was extremely hot during certain roles. I never thought he was all that hot IRL. But certain roles? Tristan ( Legends of the Fall), Cowboy Criminal ( Thelma & Louise), and Tyler Durden ( Fight Club) were the most bang worthy versions of Pitt. George Clooney had charm and a sense of humor working for him as well, but he's not a heartthrob either. When I think of "hot, hubba-hubba, hunks", I think chiseled good looks, and bodies like Greek Gods. It also doesn't help that I have a built in bias. White guys aren't really my thing, so you have to have the entire package to make me look twice. Former white guys crushes--Brendan Fraser circa Encino Man and the first Mummy movie. Ben Affleck circa GWH and Chasing Amy. Leo during the Titanic era baffled me. I never have, and never will see the hotness. Partially because I know about his gross lifestyle. Most of the Marvel men do nothing for me looks wise, with the exception of Chris Evans and Hemsworth. And that has a lot to do with them being the complete package--smoking hot body, good face, funny, good on social media, no reports of asshole behavior. But RDJ? Nope. Renner? Hell no. Chris Pratt? HELL NO! Cumberbatch? Lizard face. Hiddleston? Thirsty scarecrow. Other popular "heartthrobs"--Bradley Cooper? Ruined his face. Channing Tatum? His face and head is kinda weird. Depp? You can't be serious. Matthew McConaughey? Eh. Sometimes, in the right conditions I can see it. Justin Bieber? HA! Timeberlake? HAHAHAHAHAHA! Never saw it for Matt Damon, Colin Farrell, Jude Law, or Daniel Craig. Some are decent looking, and make up for it with their charms or wit. But there is a certain derth of good-looking guys working now. When I watch old movies, they're littered with gorgeous men and women. Now? Not so much. Tom Hardy used to be really great looking, now, not so much. Sorry for rambling, but really nowadays I can't think of a (white) man that had made me sit up and take notice. The last guy that made me want to watch a show without knowing anything about him/the project, was Tom Welling. I made it through at least 4 seasons of CW shoestring budget dreck for that face and body. Can't hardly remember a thing about the show, but I do remember him. So who do I like/think is an actual heartthrob right now? Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Justin Hartley, (a silent) David Beckham, Henry Cavill, Ian Somerhalder, (bearded) Kit Harington, and (also bearded) Richard Madden.

I don't get Channing Tatum - he is the dictionary definition of a butterface for me. With that said, he did gain several points thanks to his hilarious Reddit AMA a few years back.

I never understood the attraction for either man. James Marsden's cheekbones are not broad wings that grace his face, they're like two golf balls shoved under his skin by a deranged aesthetic surgeon. And he has coke nostrils. He looks like someone stretched skin over a skull and forgot the fat pads.
And even if Matthew Goode had a chin, his head would still be too small. He's a pinhead. A pinhead with a lovely voice and beautiful eyes, but a pinhead.
Tom Hiddleston has a prissy mouth and pig eyes.
Jon Hamm is handsome but his mouth reminds me of the stripe on Charlie Brown's sweater.
This has been weirdly cathartic.
