Why do girls love ryan gosling

He also apparently rescued a woman from being hit by a taxi. Ryan was famously raised and home-schooled by a single mom, who he credits with his autonomy and spirit. He really loves his mom, as evidenced by gushing about her whenever he talks about his childhood. He even took her as his date to the Oscars and the Gangster Squad premier, for which Eva Mendes lent her some fancy clothes.

Earlier this year Ryan was going to dinner in Palm Springs with his lady-love Eva, when he spotted a dog running around in the road, and promptly got out of his car to rescue it. Cue tears. He also recently revealed that he took in a stray to his accommodation while filming The Nice Guys to protect him from the cold.

He absolutely loves Girl Scout Cookies, and knows how to share. The fact that I was able to ask a question coherently, make eye contact with him, and not faint during our minute exchange is one of my proudest achievements. But Gosling made me feel nothing when I looked at him. He was your standard hipster: pleasant blue eyes, beanie-ready blond hair, and facial scruff that were forgettable to me.

Sorry, Josh. I wanted to make the Gos work. I tried looking at pictures of him shirtless— even with a puppy for extra cuteness. Still nothing. My friends took issue with my lack of interest: "What?! The tone suggested there was something very, very wrong with me. I didn't know how either. I started wondering if there was something wrong with me.

Was I not wired correctly? Was I missing some basic female impulse when it came to attraction? Nope, says science. They're perfectly normal. Many of us who've been in tempestuous long-term relationships will recognize ourselves in these heartbreaking lines, recognizing the longing that so many men have for a script that they can follow, recognizing women's frustration both that their boyfriends and husbands need a script and that they aren't able to provide one.

Gosling's Dean is a modern Everyman here, charming in courtship, desperately inarticulate in relationship maintenance, torn between tenderness and rage.

Gosling's sexiness is unmistakable, but his real appeal lies in his pitch-perfect embodiment of contemporary masculine conflict. Combine that with his earnestly egalitarian and progressive political views, his penchant for relationships with strong and slightly older actresses Sandra Bullock and Rachel McAdams , and Gosling - both on and off-screen - offers us a chance to see something we so rarely see: an unmistakably feminist, unmistakably hot, unmistakably multi-faceted young man.

No wonder so many respond to him so strongly. This post originally appeared at HugoSchwyzer. Republished with permission. Want to see your work here? Email us! I dunno. He seems like an upstanding dude, but he's also been in two of the worst movies of all time The Notebook and The Believer. Honestly, I think it's far more simple than this—he's a hot boy and people thought he was the perfect guy in The Notebook and they want so badly for that to be real that they latch on to any scrap of cool that they find in his actual person.

The A. By Hugo Schwyzer. He loves his dog, is self-deprecatingly funny and recently broke up a street fight in New York. On top of all this, he's a good actor.

Basically, he's perfect. Why feminists love Ryan Gosling.
