Though far from ideal, it doesn't appear that close-set eyes necessarily prevent one from being good-looking. I am going to post a few cyclops-descended men generally recognised as handsome. Is there anything, eye-set aside, that they all have in common, perhaps serving to offset the imbalance created by the eyes being too close together?
To determine whether someone qualifies for this thread or not, I decided to investigate based on multiple photos whether the vertical distance from midlip to pupil divided by the horizontal distance from pupil to pupil produces a number of or greater than 1.2. Anyhow, here we go.
James DeanAmazing skin and hair, square jaw, pronounced cheekbones, small nose (I bet this particular trait is going to recur very frequently), wide face in general.
James DeenName eerily similar to that of the former. Perfect skin, great hair, wide and square chin with a fairly good jaw angle, pronounced cheekbones.
Jeff BuckleySquare masculine jaw, great skin, nice (albeit somewhat receding) hair, strong cheekbones.
Heath LedgerAmazing jaw and cheekbones, generally wide face, good skin, hair quality is nice but hairline receding. Nose isn't really small but definitely not long. Close-set eyes with a long nose seems to be one of those "bad" combinations.
I'll add more as I come up with them.
