And I think you'd be hardpressed to see people accept this as "handsome" in the current acceptance of the word, even though I certainly wouldn't throw him out of bed (... well, maybe I would, just to see if he'd fight his way back in, but that's another issue for another time.....). Still, the fact that someone this... well, ordinary could be in the light just emphasizes the point I made earlier -- a guy has more leverage in this than a woman. A woman, it seems, must adhere to some particular formula while men have more latitude. And of course, what makes this all the more interesting -- to me, anyway -- is that in the rest of the animal kingdom -- it's usually the other way around: the males have more attractive coloring (birds certainly follow this) than females. We're the only species, it seems, that flaunts this.
