Guys with bulldog-like faces have been chick magnets throughout human evolutionary history.
A recent study of the skulls of human ancestors and modern humans finds that women, and thereby evolution, selected for males with relatively short upper faces.
The region between the brow and the upper-lip is scrunched proportionately to the overall size of their heads.
Among the men who fit the bill: Will Smith and Brad Pitt.
In a past study, researchers found a similar facial pattern in chimpanzees, with males having relatively shorter and broader faces compared with females, controlling for body size.
Men with "mini mugs" might have been most attractive to the opposite sex and thus most likely to attract mates for reproduction, passing along the striking features to the next generation and so forth, said lead study author Eleanor Weston, a paleontologist at the Natural History Museum in London.

And it doesn’t star the actual cavemen from the ads. It looks really bad.

And yes, the 10-15 yr old females in my household think hes smashing. Maybe its the red hair and sqawky voice??? He comes off as approachable (by extension of his character) and he's a movie star. That's really more than enough for your daughters to get squishy about him.

Or, could it be ???? that in the distant past, men with "cavemen" faces didn't ask? Gosh, what are the odds? Then guess, just guess, which genes got passed down.

you oughta see my study - I claim to be interested in decorating in nautical themes, but really, its all about having a backdrop for my favorite pictures. I think my husband suspects though...fortunately, he likes his movies as well...was actually pretty impressed with M&C. He's fine with it because he likes to look at pretty actresses, and because he's not threatened by Hollywood actors sweeping you away from him.

Granite - hon - drinking your whiskey tastes better if you take the turd out BEFORE you sip it, not after. And don’t come looking to put that turd in our drinks. Baby, that’s NASTY.

I wouldn’t really put Pitt in the “man” class. Maybe the Metro category! Now Selleck I’d definitely put him in the man class!

We should start a thread for women who love men on FR - they get to splash pics of beautiful conservative women all over the place, we should be able to do the same. Count me in!!!

I wasn’t trying to ruin your party. I was just re-assuring you that your husband doesn’t mind.

Of all the men I have thought of as extremely sexy Adrian Paul is one of them but the character he played in that show also showed a softer side of his personality. Don’t hear much about him here lately.
