Oh woe is us, for our dear Ryan is in Thailand.
And as I type this, I am in fact standing amidst the ashes of local hearts that have been broken, crushed, shattered and baked ( a bit like a pancake) on Cape Town’s pavements.
Now I’m not obsessed enough to run off and start the local branch of the Ryan Gosling Appreciation Club (although if someone did, I probably would join and you know, become the VP or something), but I truly did feel the sting.
Now to help YOU cope with the horridious disappointment and resulting unimaginable grief, that possibly the hottest man alive ( even straight guys will agree) is not on our doorsteps, I’ve put together this post.
Reasons

He can drive. And he looks like a driver that concentrates. He looks like he will never lose the parking ticket, always open your door and be comfortable enough in his sexuality to stop and ask for directions. (It’s honestly amazing what insight you can gain from a picture.)

He’s made mistakes.
Because he’s human, just like the rest of us.

He can play the piano. And if the gods were feeling pretty benevolent, (which I’m pretty sure they were, because look at the rest of him) he can probably sing as well.

Oh well, will you look at that.
He can play the guitar.

He’s the only male in the world to make Hipster look hot, attractive and commercially viable at the same time.

He’s a dog person.
(Sorry crazy cat ladies, but I’m going to kill that dream dead. We all know compatibility and eternal happiness depends on the Dog/Cat preference.)

And lastly.
He looks like he’s a really great listener.
