I have GREAT news for guys!
There has been a big new survey to find out what makes men seem handsome, and you know what the top thing is? Smoldering eyes? Nope. Chiseled features? Nope. Good hygiene? Yep.
So, armed with that information, here are the sort of pickup lines you should be using:
- “Hey, babe, most of my underwear was washed fairly recently.”
- “You know, gorgeous, I hardly ever get big zits anymore!”
- “Look, I have a Q-tip dispenser on my iPhone case. You wanna use one?
- “Well, it’s December 1, time to brush my teeth again!”
It gets even better. After hygiene, the second thing on the handsome list was confidence! You don’t need to be smart or talented, you just need to THINK you are!
Who would have guessed that being handsome would come down to a large ego and a can of jock itch spray!

Nothing ruins a romantic moment more than plaque.
- Posted by ClaireWhat does the survey say about men with beard stubble?! I hate it. A man with stubble LOOKS like he doesn’t wash, even if he does.
- Posted by DeeBrushing your teeth more than once a week causes gum disease. Just ask all the people with gum disease who brush their teeth twice a week.
- Posted by Dr. DollWhy does Robert Redford look like your average, militant, feminist grandmother?
- Posted by expatrussWaiting for the day when wrinkles and stubble and obvious veneers make a woman sexy.
- Posted by cherylYeah…I’d still tag any one of those men (okay, not Matt Damon after gaining 40 pounds…blech). But still, it seems rather unfair.
Why does Robert Redford look like he might be Harry Potter’s grandfather?
- Posted by christophorI actually thought Robert Redford WAS Harry Potter’s grandmother, isn’t he? Another childhood illusion goes pshhhhht!
- Posted by MHey, Blog Guy, I noticed the caption on the photo says “supposedly handsome.” Does that mean you’re skeptical? I’m curious. What men do your readers actually consider to be handsome?
This information will come in very handy when I tell people over the phone “I look just like so and so.” Or “I look like so and so’s twin brother.” Or, even better: “People often ask me if I’m so and so.”
Then I can stop telling people I look like what the fourth stooge would have looked like!
- Posted by Dr. DollSure, Dr. Doll, I’m happy to answer your question.
We journalists aren’t supposed to say subjective things without sourcing them to somebody else, so I can’t just come out and say they’re handsome. That’s why I make sure nearly every sentence I write has a “supposedly” or “reportedly” or “so-called” somewhere in there.
