Actor attractiveness ranking

Firstly, a quick little update about the recent happenings in online dating for me. The online dating website has introduced a feature that crowdsources moderation for pictures users have reported. I was bored so I decided to participate. After actually not that many, I got this notice: (as an aside, it seems that some people don't understand the "No conservatives need apply" notice on my new and improved profile. And I haven't netted any Peter Sarsgaard lookalikes yet.)

"Congratulations

You've made it to the end of the flagged objects, come back later and there may be more offenders for you to moderate. OkCupid thanks you for all of your help."

I wonder how long it'll take until there are more offenders for me to moderate.

Anyways, recently I decided that I should try to figure out what exactly I find to be good looking - to try and narrow down what constitutes delicate looking, that kind of thing. So for a start, I decided to rank some various actors according to how good looking I find them.

At the top of the list - unsurprisingly: Peter Sarsgaard (clean shaven), James D'Arcy - they are very good looking.
In the second place position, I thought that Matt Damon would fit; this decision is possibly influenced by me having watched the Jason Bourne movies recently. Right close below, Leonardo DiCaprio and Dane DeHaan, who sort of look similar. Sort of in between Leo/Dane and Matt Damon, I thought that Sebastian Stan would fit in - he's quite good looking but I haven't paid much attention to him/seen things he's been in. Below Leo/Dane, Colin Firth. Below that, Jake Gyllenhaal, George Clooney, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Patrick Dempsey, and Mark Ruffalo - this category comprises actors who are generally recognized as being good looking, which I agree that they're pretty decent/good looking, but that just aren't quite as good looking to me personally as the people above. 
Below that, actors who are also generally known as not bad looking (or so I gather) but who I don't personally have strong "he is good looking" thoughts about: Hugh Jackman (he's just kind of... weird looking, in a way. Very subtly weird looking though.), Michael Fassbender (his eyebrows are too flat). Slightly below but still in the same category, Matthew McCollardgreens (frog), Ezra Miller (eyes too high up), Jeremy Renner (strange eyebrows, facial features look kind of weirdly squished - although he did a decent job in The Bourne Legacy, so nothing against him as an actor). Below that, Adam Driver (nose too long, really). Below him, Johnny Depp, who I've discussed before about him being creepy and not good looking. Although he used to look alright, but now he doesn't. 

A cleaned up list, potentially to be added to, but this is a start:

1) Peter Sarsgaard, James D'Arcy
2) Matt Damon
3) Leonardo DiCaprio
4)Dane DeHaan/Sebastian Stan (both quite good looking but I just haven't watched them in stuff, really)
5) Colin Firth
6) Jake Gyllenhaal, George Clooney, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Patrick Dempsey, Mark Ruffalo. In no particular order, but Brad Pitt might slightly edge out the others in this category.
7) Hugh Jackman, Michael Fassbender. Slightly below: Matthew McCollardgreens, Ezra Miller, Jeremy Renner
8) Adam Driver
9) Johnny Depp

I'm not sure how to analyze these rankings exactly, but I'll try to think about it. Maybe it has to do with face shape??
