With due respect to everyone, I do not see why this couple is called “good looking” or “handsome”

I am not trying to be mean and looks are a very shallow way to judge someone. People truly are more than their looks and shame on our society for focusing solely on looks.

However, a lot has been made in the Press and here on FR about this couple being “beautiful” and “handsome”. I disagree completely.

If our President was Denzel Washington and our first lady was Beyonce then ABSOLUTELY I would agree that our first couple was beautiful and stunning.

And while I am on that topic, I think Denzel would make a better President than Mr. Obama. Mr. Washington has always worked for his living and has actually seen a real paycheck from the private sector.

I think the consensus here at FR is quite the opposite of what you said.

Not to be picking holes in your coat, but I wonder at this statement. Physical features, yes. The better angel of our nature constantly reminds us that it is a human weakness.

OTOH, "looks", his expression, his walk, the gesture of his head and arms, etc., as opposed to strictly physical features, are very often* a very good determinate of a person's character/ inner being. In short, the eyes aren't the only mirror of the soul.

*Not always, of course.
