Was Gerald Ford the best looking guy to end up President?

Exactly when did you lose your eyesight OP?

Rutherford B. Hayes could get it.

We're talking about US presidents here, R1. For a POTUS, Ford was handsome.

Steven Ford, son of Gerald, was/is an actor. He was on the Young & the Restless for a while.

It's often been said that poor James Garfield had the most beautiful eyes of any president.

DJT is the ugliest!

FDR was quite handsome back in the day.

Our next president was very handsome as a young man.

R4 it's a shame the photo isn't able to show the color.

John Tyler always gives me the most amazing erections.

I attended William and Mary, and there is a statue of Tyler on campus. It was tradition for the frat boys to sneak out to the Tyler statue on Saturday nights and blow their loads on his broad, masculine thighs.

Nobody knows where Ford got his looks; he was adopted.

Bill was cute.

Grant was a hot daddy.

JFK was a hunk.

Thank you, Ethel at r13.

p.s--stop picking your nose

JFK was cute:

Obama:

That’s JFK’s BFF, noted homosexualist Lem Billings.

Ford actually worked as a model when young, I think, and was among the best looking POTUS. He was also a very decent man, Nixon pardon notwithstanding, unlike the current. Young Bush was handsome, still is. I think this is him when still a partier.

Harvard sophmore Teddy Roosevelt is always my choice.

JFK was BUTT UGLY. Never understood that shit! Met a republican real estate agent, and the only thing we could agree on were that the Kennedys were UGLY HUMAN GARBAGE.

100%,. HUMAN GARBAGE. I don't want then Kennedys representing democrats.'

And they are UGLY as FUCK, UGLY!

R20 Calm down. No one cares what you think.

I don't believe you, R9.

Amazing gif of the young and handsome John Kennedy.

John Kennedy was quite the hunk back in the day.

He looks like a male model in this photo.

Rutherford B. Hayes was gorgeous! Who knew! Thanks R2. FDR and cousin TR were no slouches either.

I like Ike.

Squeaky Fromme did nothing wrong.

I still think Obama is smoking hot. Especially for a skinny guy.

How big was Ford's COCK? Huh, Betty?

Rutherford B. Hayes looks modern.

Some think the young Nixon was in the running, but DL won't let me link, so search for yourselves.

I remember my mother saying she thought he looked good in a bathing suit. I think he was the first president since FDR yo be photographed in a swimming pool.

R2 somehow disappeared, so here is another young Rutherford B. Hayes. He looks like Craig Ferguson to me.

His nickname was "Rudy". Have any of you ever heard of another man named "Rutherford" in your life?

George W was hot back in the day, but was an even hotter daddy. Clinton wasn't bad while president, but deteriorated quickly.

It is speculated this is Lincoln. I've seen it several times in the past. Some of our physical features change with age, but some here are accurate through time. What's the verdict here?

Damn, r19!

Who knew? I sure as hell didn’t. He was hot!

Do you think Harvard had gloryholes back in his day?

R36, I vote no. When you look at and compare each feature in photo A with corresponding feature in photos B and C (both confirmed Lincoln photos), nothing is quite right. Even the ear, which looks at first to be the same in all three, isn't right: it tilts back at the wrong angle and sits too low on the head.

Here you go, R37. Quite the package on that young man.

Some of these guys were hot when they were young, but didn't age well

R15, that’s JFK with Lem Billings, who, in many accounts, was infatuated with his friend.

I don't know, R36. Look at the distance between the bottom of the nose and the upper lip between pictures 1 & 3. That wouldn't shorten with age, if anything age sagging would maybe make it longer.

If it is Lincoln, I'd be sharing a bed with him, too.

As soon as I saw the headline, I thought is this OP blind? Then I saw he was a Brit and thought, ah, makes perfect sense.

He looks like a mouth breathing cross-eyed Cromagnon.

Barack

Rutherford looked a little like Dennis Hopper.

I am not a crook.

But I'll steal your heart.

This thread is a warning to all you gals out there:

Be careful who you marry. He may be cute when you say "I do" but he'll wind up a dog when you say, "I won't!"

Thanks guys. Who knew so many of the Presidents were hotties when young!

LBJ wasn't hot, but he was horse hung.

So, well, I think you all know who my vote is.

Two corrections re Gerald Ford: R10, Ford was not adopted. His parents divorced when he was young, and his mother remarried a man named Ford. Gerald, who was born Leslie Lynch King, Jr., took his stepfather's name and became Gerald Rudolph Ford. His stepfather never formally adopted him.

R18, Ford never worked as a model. You must be thinking of his wife Betty Ford, who did.

George HW Bush was quite a handsome young man and kept his looks into middle age. Here he is, very young, with Barbara.

Hiram Ulysses Grant aka Ulysses S. Grant, 18th President of the United States. Not bad on the eyes.

Ford was hot.

Here’s FDR at Harvard.

Oh fuck. Here he is.

Mmmm FDR was gorgeous too R56

By the way, Ted Roosevelt V, the great-great-grandson of President Theodore Roosevelt, spoke up this week against Trumps reported "losers" remarks.

No and no.

My dad met JFK when he campaigned in Michigan and talked about it for the rest of his life. “When he walked into that room, it was like a ray of sunshine suddenly burst out from behind dark clouds! All the men In the room fell silent, this guy was so handsome! It was like light was pourin’ outta every part of his body! I knew immediately he was goin’ to be prez, and so did every goddam fella in that room! Wish you kids had been there just to see what a real hero looks like!”

This was usually followed by my mom mentioning that the only time she saw our dad cry was when JFK was assassinated. Dad would always fall silent. I think JFK was dad’s one and only man-crush. The real funny thing is that we kids always thought our dad looked like a miniature version of a JFK (he was only 5’5”, but had the same blond, bony face and megawatt smile)

R15, that was JFK in his gay twink period.

R56 is FDR's son, not FDR himself.

R51, I can’t vouch for this source and haven’t done extensive research but this says Ford worked as a model.

R63 He was a Model-T.

I'm surprised at young Richard Nixon...a very handsome man. George W. Bush is still handsome, he's aging well. I don't think JFK was ever good looking; he was one of those guys whose charm added to his looks.

I think Kohn Boehner looks like Lincoln.

John.

I am entranced by James Garfield at R4.

R4 Garfield also had a beautiful sensual mouth.

I agree with you, r65. However, I think his youth (for a president) had a lot to do with it. Presidents were traditionally older dour-faced men up until him.

R65, R70 I also agree that JFK wasn't all that good looking. He had a presence in a room I suppose but as for being a hottie, nope.

R54, how high do you think they were in that picture? Bill was definitely inhaling that day, and Hillary looks like she's on her fifth dose of blotter.
