He has a great body, but his face…..his face is not truly beautiful. He has a short, narrow jaw. It is not balanced, not harmonious. He tries to hide it with the beard.

Please notice that my analysis has the intention of evaluating a MODEL, who should be almost perfect in aesthetic terms. Normally I am not so picky.

@Billy Budd:

Ok, so two things;

1). Maybe his facial hair is hiding it, but if it is, it is doing a great job at that. I am not a professional evaluator, so there’s that.

2). Maybe your concepts are out of date. Of late, the concept of ‘beauty’ and ‘perfection’ has and is constantly changing. This man, while being ‘imperfect’ is quite handsome, and despite not having ‘perfection’ is a model, and if these pictures are proof – and with shots that are being seen to a wide audience. For a model, he is doing quite well. This is not a put down of you, but rather a thought that maybe those criteria are not as important as they once were.

3). Who would you consider to be ‘almost perfect in aesthetic terms’? I am trying to envision what you are seeing. Who has a perfect/almost perfect face/body, from the perspective of someone critiquing a model? I.E. who would be a good guide to observe the idea on?

@Maharajah: David Gandy is an example of a man who is almost god-like, in my humble opinion. Evandro Soldatti is our Brazilian Demi-God. There are countless examples of extremely beautiful models. It is a matter of how intensely beautiful the guy is. Some guys are more beautiful than others, and even more successful as models. These are facts.

@Billy Budd: I disagree with you in that a model should be almost perfect in aesthetic terms. Maybe that’s a Brazilian thing, but I doubt it. Seeing that your very own Giselle is far from perfect, yet one of the most successful models ever. Infact, the most beautiful men or women never become” top” models. And often times what makes a top model is not beauty. But a unique, striking, odd, qurkie, different, almost other worldly look, that no one else has. And have you seen female models without make-up? They are some odd looking creatures. But I mean that in a good way. Infact, extremely beautiful women do not take well to make- up. But a plan woman does. And beautiful people often times, men and women, are not the most photogenic.

@Tackle: You don’t know what you’re talking about. DO you REALLY believe in what you just said?

@Billy Budd: I know exactly what I’m talking about, and believe ” everything” I wrote. Been there ,done that. 25 ys ago, Have you ever modeled before?
According to you a model should be almost perfect in aesthetic terms. Your own Gisel Bundchen has been the highest paid model for the past 5 yrs. Is she really almost perfect in aesthetics? What about all the original Super models. Naomi Campbell
Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista. Would you really call them almost perfect? And what about today’s super model Kate Upton
? And what about today’s top male models. Number one being. Sean O’Pry: made 1.5 million last yr. Number two, David Gandy: 1.4 million made. And Ryan Burns, 610.000 made last yr. And fifteen yrs ago, Tyson Beckford was the highest paid male top model, Would you really say all of them are aesthetically almost perfect? The fashion industry seems to disagree with you, They are NOT looking for the most beautiful. But uniqueness, charisma, ppersonality, photogenic and a great walker. So prove me wrong. And about being nuts. No I’m not nuts, but I do have two.

There is no mathematical formula for aesthetical perfection. But all these guys are gorgeouys according to informed people. I never said they had to be flawless. In order to be flawless you must be a ROBOT, manufactured in a factory. But they are very near the ideals of beauty that a good part of people from their societies accept as their ideals.

MY OWN ideals of beauty are satified with Evandro Soldati and David Gandy. I think they are gorgeous and I probably had erection just by looking at their photos. They are xtremely successful and I don’t think you can find many people who will declared they are NOT extremely beautiful.
