I already get accused of living in the 90s. I’d not like to add fuel to the fire or make it worse by being accused of living in the 80s. ---

He’s actually a little too pretty for my tastes (although I certainly wouldn’t kick him out of bed). I think I would prefer a firmer chin. ---

> [@purplehorseshoe](#): > > My God. Someone, help me out here - who IS that handsome devil? I don’t recognize him but would like to know his name, please and thanks. 😉 That, my friend, is Ace Young, he was a contestant on American Idol in 2006, and I have met him (and been hugged by, and am on a first name basis with) many times. See how good looking he is? Take that, multiply by 10, and you have his sweetness factor. He is a total SWEETHEART. But yeah… there _is_ the looks thing, too… 😉 ---

Yeah… he is quite pretty, but I’m not seeing much wrong with the chin.

Somebody has a crush! The baseball bat turns me off, as does the baby, kind of.

I’ve always just called it ‘hot’. Beards usually gross me out, most ‘groomed’ (ie shaved into awkward patches) facial hair isn’t great either, but 2-8 days unaltered grow-out after a full shave looks amazing. ---
