Yes, less than the mentioned players but yes I do.

Glad you brought up Totti. I don't understand people who think Totti is looks so good. And exactly because his face always did look older than he was. At 21 he looked like he could be 27. He doesn't have that element of youth. He doesn't look bad but completely uncomparable to Nesta for instance.

And Pippo, he's starting to look older now, facial features have become more definite and that makes him less handsome IMO.

Alberini?? You see and I thought I gave example of really ugly player

And I agree about Totti. And here I just can't imagine that he can be good looking for anyone
And he looks exactly like you described: old.

I think its his hair.....


about the baby-facedness, or 'youth' making people more attractive- does anyone have any insight??


I think beauty is sort of a spectrum thing, with the definition of facial features being the variable....

i dont like to look at a face that looks like it was made of lego(very defined), but at the same time a mushy blob of dough(not defined at all) doesnt quite please the eye...something in between is too plain, average but slighty off-centre would do very well...

Other contributing factors: full lips, big, dark eyes....

vittery dittery dock! the mouse ran up the clock!!

anyways, vit i think your tastes are different to the average person. way different

about totti- i think he looks old too, but i think its his jaw and hair and physical build complement each other....that is, without looking at his face in detail, staring at close-ups, and examining every square inch of his physique

No, I don't think so. In fact there are quite few I would say are actually ugly.

I think we're pretty much done with the youth thing, here are some players who look good but don't look as young as the others I mentioned before.

Raul (not anymore)
Pippo (Pippo of today should really be on the list instead of that one)
Chivu (again, young but not that young)
Kluivert
Montella
Sergio Conceicao
Crespo

You know I never thought I could agree this much with lac on any topic..

Definitely, there's a balance to be kept. If you look at Pippo now and the way he looked 5 years ago, he's gone from having pleasant facial features to very distinct features, definitely makes him look older.

Again, I absolutely agree.

There is sth in that. Cause people found very attractive Robert Redford, cause of his baby-faceness. Even if he were 50

But when someone say sth like that, I reply: but mine is good at least

Noone from your list I would call good looking.
I can only add: and Montella is ugly.

Maybe Kluivert is not so bad, but not my type definitely.

I think we'll have to reject your testimony on account of your taste being so weird

 

[Majed]

i dont know...

this "Youth" theory contradicts the fact that many women like Macho Men!

this topic is very complex :stress:

Weird, but good, remember that

I like very good looking people - such beauties.

But I often like people who aren't very beautiful, but there is sth... something in them.
But sometimes they are really ugly...

 

[Martin]

No, weird is not good. Weird is weird, that's why they call it weird

Yeah but they might like them for other reasons, the youth argument doesn't have to apply in every case. Moreover, some "macho men" have young faces.

Complex it's supposed to be

Oh yes
This is one of this topics, when I have double/triple opinion, cause I can say that I partly agreed with many contradictory opinions :stress:

Weird in your opinion, good in mine

Yeah, I agree with you on that one.
For me, at first time I saw Nesta, I think he's not that cute...If I can choose, I'd prefer Becks with his beauty and fine hairstyle. But I saw somthing from Sandro Nesta....I don't know, maybe his charm or something. Plus he's got a good personality both out or inside pitch, very down to earth even people of Rome called him Prince of Roma or Romulus-Remus (together with Totti). Maybe that's why he looks different with another good looking players.
Charming...that's my opinion about Nesta

 

[Martin]

That's kind of a bad example though, considering Nesta is considered to be pretty, sort of among the general public..

 

[vitoria_Ally]

Yes he is considered to be pretty, the same as eg Tacchinardi, who I fine ugly

So after all this: it all depends on eye of the beholder
No doubt

 

[vitoria_Ally]

Ah, back for a moment to objective beauty: I'm curious whether anyone here find eg Liv Tyler as not good looking.
She is true beauty IMO

 

[Febrina]

But that's exactly my opinion about Nesta.
Becks maybe a good looking player but for me Nesta is different ...There's something on him that makes him more attractive
Sorry I have no better example for that

 

[hoshi]

Vit: I think Liv Tyler is absolutely gorgeous!
She has phenomenal skin, and such full lips, deep eyes...
How anyone could not find her attractive is beyond me.


As for Totti (going back a bit here) I agree with lac about his complimentary features.
Becks is ok but nothing special to me, Nesta is the same really.

OK, here's another guy I think is extremely good looking: Goran Visnjic (Dr Kovac from ER). I can't decide if he has youthful features or not, to be honest. I think I'm actually drawn first to his charisma, which then ups his physical attractiveness.
