Since Country became a genre of music, with its origins in Folk from the western parts of the United States and the Appalachian area as well as Blues music from the South, it has been heralded by good-looking men across several decades. Though the standards of beauty may have changed overtime, there are some men that have remained attractive no matter how old they get and certain features are still considered desirable for any woman who’s a fan of Country music. For instance, the guy’s got to have a rugged look to him whether it be apparent in the face or the clothes he wears, which sometimes includes a cowboy hat, though it’s not necessary in this day and age.
The guy has also got to have a deep singing voice, which is more pleasing to the ears than someone who shouts their lyrics (though some people like this type of singing). It’s also common for Country singers to have either stubbles, beards, or be clean-shaven depending on a mixture of expectations and personal preference. But in the end, it comes down to what the audience thinks and that’s where your input comes into play. Pick or pass these gorgeous men and see which one suits everyone's taste!
