My cousin Rose has a theory: Men are at their most attractive in their mid-thirties. When we were 15, we thought men in their mid-thirties were the most attractive. Now that we're AARP members, we still find ourselves looking at men in their mid-thirties.
Upon further reflection, I've narrowed it down to age 36. That's when men are hottest. Here are four attractive men who were sizzling at 36.

| Brosnan 1989 |

| Clooney 1996 |
The research was grueling, but my readers deserve no less.
You're welcome.
This reminds me of an ongoing conversation my bestie and I have: guys v. men. I think what you've got here are men, but there's a point in their early to mid-20s when guys are just gorgeous, full of youth and possibilities. Then they either turn into men or they stop and try to hang on to 20-something well past 36.
ReplyDeleteBut I thank you for your rigorous and continuing research. ;-)
In some ways, I agree especially with the fine examples you provided. Two of my all-time hotties made your post (Robert and George). The actual age I recently (self)determined was hottest to me is 42-46. As examples, I provide Harry Connick, Jr. and Ben Affleck. There is something, to me, about handsome dads with some life experience under their belts that I find intensely attractive. And a smattering of gray hair around the temples always seems to draw my attention.

ReplyDeleteThese are indeed men in their prime. Some primes last longer than others.
