O awesome.club carefully prepared the list below thinking about your favorite stars and studying history books and researching old magazines. Check out:

According to ancient manuscripts, this handsome man had more than 30 lovers. In other words, the guy knew how to seduce. The ancient Greeks valued an athletic body, a straight, large nose, and golden hair. Height also counted: tall men were considered more attractive.

Knights, thin and brave warriors, were considered the ideal of male beauty in medieval Europe. Women were very fond of men with light hair and blue eyes. If they had scars, even better.

At the time of the Renaissance, women valued men with striking faces, with pronounced lines. Wavy and slightly longer hair was in fashion. The manly body and straight back gave extra points.

It was the time of wigs. The ideal of beauty at the time was the King of France, Louis XIV, with his voluminous hair, haughty eyes and fine features. No woman could resist him. Another important detail was the “dominion of the hat”, that is, the use of the accessory according to the current etiquette rules. The man who could do this perfectly was considered the most polite.

And if you thought that men’s cosmetics are a thing of today, know that in the 18th century, men wore wigs and smooth faces and makeup. At the time, they wore just as much cosmetics as women, highlighting their eyebrows in black and painting their lips red.

At that time, women looked for a man with a thin frame, with a good haircut, elegant gestures and a top hat on his head. On the other hand, charming chubby ones were also targets of attention.

Military build, straight back, no excess fat and well-developed musculature: that was the standard at the time. Such an image was exploited by many movie stars who remain popular to this day.

Thinness and longer hair became more popular, and musicians began to dictate fashion. Beatles fans liked to imitate the idols’ style.

The height of bodybuilding. In place of thinness, well-developed muscles arrive. Women went out of their way for a photo with Arnold Schwarzenegger, while men tried to live up to the standard by exercising both at home and in the gym.

An icon of male beauty at this time is Brad Pitt in the film Fight Club. Muscle definition, strong masculinity and self-confidence were some of the favorite characteristics of women at the end of the 20th century.

Film protagonists came to be seen as ideals to be followed: beautiful and capable of dealing with life’s problems. They were part of the female imagination not only during the film, but also after it.

Movie protagonists are still very popular, but today they conquer not only with their beauty, but also with their mind, charisma and bravery. Incidentally, the image of “bad boy” has become more popular than ever.

The past year has shown that the traditional “nice boys” are on the decline, giving way to new musos with an atypical look.

However, the actors don’t give up, and lovable figures appear on the big screen. Like, for example, Harry Styles in the movie Dunkirk, that stole many hearts.

The most handsome man of 2017, according to People magazine, is singer Blake Shelton. And millions of fans agree with the choice!

And this is Ki Tae Young, a very young-looking South Korean singer and actor who is very popular with teenagers.

And obviously we could not fail to mention the most famous Norwegian strongman Lasse Løkken Matberg. The viking became known thanks to Instagram, where every day he receives thousands of likes and comments from people from all over the world.
