Within the aggregator Reddit there is a subsection called LadyBoners. In this space, many ladies (and also some gentlemen, of course) can share images and exchange comments about the best examples of the male gender, from Chris Hemsworth to Jason Momoa, and everything in between. With so much information available, the user named 'FrigidShadow' decided to combine 64 of the most voted men on LadyBoners to create the most handsome man in the world. The final result is... strange.

Every time we try to find 'the greatest' or 'the best' of something in the world, controversy arises. Sometimes the arguments for or against a selection are quite solid, but in most cases feelings and emotions rule. Even with these difficulties, we keep trying, and one of the most recent attempts is to present the most handsome man in the world. I say 'attempt' because in essence that man was built.

**FrigidShadow** on Reddit took 64 of the most voted men from the subreddit LadyBoners and created a pyramidal composition. The first pairs were grouped according to a certain similarity to avoid major deviations as one goes up the scale (say, conflicts between a smile and a furrowed brow). Each photo received the same 'weight', so to speak, while the fusion process itself was done through Adobe Elements.

In the 'roots' we can recognize more than one face. Jason Momoa, Chris Hemsworth, Idris Elba, Colin Firth, Ezra Miller, Tom Hardy, Michael B. Jordan, Ralph Fiennes, Charlie Hunnam, Dr. Mike, Daniel Radcliffe, Paul Rudd... in summary, a very interesting mix of physical build, color, and age.

And at the top of the pyramid we find... Nathan Drake? Because that face could be inserted into any video game and 'work' without hiccups. The underlying question is how beauty is defined. For some it is the simple absence of defects, and for others everything depends on symmetry. The result of this composition seems to meet both conditions, but it doesn't quite close. One of the online comments compared it to 'mixing ice cream'.

No matter how good the base is, when you start mixing several flavors together, the final experience is quite generic. Do you agree with that? Or did 'FrigidShadow' hit the mark? Leave a comment!
