tall, dark and handsome
Classic leading man
A stock phrase describing an idealized male appearance—notably tall, with dark hair or complexion, and attractive features.
The combination became a romantic cliché through early Hollywood: She always said she'd marry someone tall, dark and handsome.
Often used playfully or ironically to describe a woman's type or a man's self-image.
