"I think there arnt enough average grimy people" Most of us are u p to our eyballs in "average grimy people" or is that average slimy peopleso we like seeing the mythological. BUTyou have a pointthere are very few with real character showing. Now wyrwulf's fellow has characterhe's not pretty, but there is something there that's more than vanilla good looks. Real beauty comes from within. My wife is one of the most beautiful women on earth, but not even in contention for best looking (except in my eyes) . Tom Selleck has always been a good looking fellowwhat makes him stand out is that his character, or elements of it, show through the good looks. I think what you really miss is the character. Without the elements of character, 'tis just another pretty/ugly/average face.
