Science has a formula to work out if a man is handsome or not
Updated | By Jane Linley-Thomas
Could a scientific calculation truly be able to work out the perfect formula for a handsome man?
When reading this article that I found, my first thought was: 'Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.' Right?

Well, a doctor by the name of Julian De Silva has put facial mapping technologies to the test by mapping out the facial and jaw structures of some of the world's most handsome men, including Brad Pitt, David Beckham, and even Harry Styles (Swoon!).
The basis of the ratio to determine if a man is handsome is based on scientific ratios based on the facial structure, which should be a Phi ratio of 1.618. A bit too scientific for me!

Anyway, many have argued that handsomeness (is that even a word?) should be measured by an emotional equation related to the amount of inner beauty and personality that specific men possess.
I think Thom Yorke from Radiohead is sexy - and not by conventional standards at all, but in his uniqueness. He has something about him. It may be his voice, but be that as it may, 15 years ago I wouldn't have said "No". If you didn't know, back in the 90s I actually thought I met him in Pietermaritzburg. But that is for another day.
Surprisingly (or not), George Clooney still made it to the top of the list. It's like as he gets older, he gets more handsome. Can that even be possible?
Do you think we should put it down to science and numbers when it comes to determining if someone is good looking or not?
