*Warning: I am obsessed with Ryan Gosling, so there will be a lot of ~love (and creepiness, lbr) for him in this post!

Ryan Gosling is seriously the perfect man.  And exactly how does one get bestowed such a lofty honor?  Well, he’s a feminist, he rescues homeless animals, he is intelligent and articulate, he loves his mother, his surname means “baby goose” (Google them!  They’re adorable!!!), he is passionate and sensitive, he cares about crucial issues like the conflicts in the Congo and Darfur, he enjoys working with children, he’s an excellent actor (and dancer), he owns a Moroccan restaurant so I can only assume he’s a good cook, he has a fantastic sense of humor, he has impeccable style (he cannot NOT look like a GQMF), and he sings and plays various instruments in his band, Dead Man’s Bones, who are actually very good and I’m not just saying that because I think Ryan Gosling is the dreamiest man in existence.  Most of all, however, Ryan Gosling wears facial hair ridiculously well: his beard is thick, rich, and caramel-colored.  It grows lusciously and seemingly even; in fact, beards simply enhance Gosling’s beauty, imbibing his already flawless looks with more sheer masculinity and raw sexuality.

But, even after all that, I bet Ryan Gosling is a really good listener too.
