“Wow. What a handsome man.” Do you agree? Why? Surely it can’t be just the unshaven cheeks and the unkempt hair. Or maybe the smooth shave? Maybe it’s the eyes. Maybe it’s the smile. What makes a man handsome?

He was a handsome man, he just wasn’t very photogenic. No, looking through those newspaper clippings you won’t find a good photograph of him.

When he didn’t return from his trip, the police and FBI asked me to provide them photographs. The only images I had were pitiful reflections of a person he never was.
Very good. Your style reminds me of someone-good.
It came to mind that I rarely see a handsome man anymore.
Waiting for an appointment, I glanced up to see who was coming through the door.
Oh my, he was so handsome and I had to smile to myself.
3 score and 10 lady – you are not dead yet.
“What a handsome man you are.” Grandma Edith stroked her chin and smiled.
“Why, thank you, dear lady,” said George. “I do so love a woman of culture.”
Grandma hiked up her skirt. “When you decide you are ready for a woman of quality let me know….” She bared a varicose-veined leg, and ran her toes up and down George’s thigh….
George sighed and thanked his god for blessings received.

“He’s a handsome man,” said Joyce. “and a loving one. I can’t blame other women for wanting him, and I understand that their attention is flattering to him, but really…” She blinked back tears, dabbed at her eyes. “Really. I’m not prepared to be part of some sort of harem.”
He awaits in tentative posture, leaning a bit to one side like the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Once in a while, a wince replaces the handsome smile of years passed. It was a special time between us then. Our memories trail on like the train of our daughter’s bridal gown.
No man is handsome to a dad
‘He’s a darn touch too good looking if you get me drift.’
‘Meaning?’
‘What man – what real man – puts muck on his face…and…thinks about what to wear outside of weddings and funerals.’
‘Dad, Bill is sensitiv—’
‘Sensitive! He’ll be in a dress next – he’s got the hair already.’
