The Bachelor franchise is famous for showing beautiful people falling in love, so it’s no wonder that some of the best-looking men in reality TV originally came from Bachelor Nation.

According to the Golden Ratio theory, which looks at attraction as those with symmetrical faces, some of the most attractive Bachelor leads are Brad Womack, Andy Baldwin, Byron Velvick, and Juan Pablo Galavis. If you find yourself scratching your head, you’re not alone. Brad and Juan Pablo were infamously douchey, and nobody in Bachelor Nation remembers Andy or Byron. This inspired us to make our own list of some of the most attractive men in Bachelor Nation, where both looks and personality have been taken into consideration.

Here are our 25 favorites.

25. Blake Horstmann

Initially introduced to fans as the runner-up on Becca Kufrin’s season, Blake was an instant fan favorite. While his time on Bachelor In Paradise was chaotic and he went through somewhat of a cancelation afterward for being a playboy (fair or not), he has since redeemed himself. He’s currently dating Love Is Blind alum Giannina Giabelli, and they’re expecting their first child together this spring.

24. Jake Pavelka

The lead of the 14th season of The Bachelor may be super hot, but he’s more famous for his dramatic breakup with his final rose pick, Vienna Girardi. He’d likely have a higher spot on this list if he didn’t seem like such a jerk, but he’s still hot enough to be included. 

23. Travis Stork

You may recognize him from The Doctors (which aired from 2008 to 2020), but he got his start in television on the Bachelor franchise as both a lead and contestant in the early 2000s. He is now married with two kids, and his life after television looks blissful.

22. Bryan Abasolo

Bryan was a fan favorite (and it’s easy to see why when you look at his Instagram) and took home the final rose on Rachel Lindsay’s season of The Bachelorette. The couple married in 2019 but separated in 2023. Despite the separation, they seem to be on friendly terms, which is a rare feat in Bachelor Nation.

21. Alex Bordyukov

Fans first met Alex on Rachel Lindsay’s season of The Bachelorette, and he appeared in the eighth season of Bachelor In Paradise and international versions like Bachelor In Paradise: Canada and Bachelor In Paradise: Australia. He might not have the same amount of screen time as many of the men on this list, but he’s still nice to look at.

20. Zach Kalter

Zach was a contestant on Desiree Hartsock’s season of The Bachelorette and the first season of Bachelor In Paradise in 2014 but has gathered a social media following by dating popular influencer Helen Owen, to whom he’s now engaged. He’s super handsome and seems like a nice guy, making him an instant Evie favorite.

19. Luke Pell

Originally on JoJo Fletcher’s season of The Bachelorette, most fans wanted him to become the next Bachelor lead, but Nick Viall took the spot. Since his stint on the show, Luke has released music and works in real estate. He has 294k followers on Instagram, and it’s easy to see why just by looking at him.

18. Robert Graham

After a brief stint on Desiree Hartsock’s season of The Bachelorette, Robert appeared on the first season of Bachelor In Paradise and dated fan-favorite contestant Becca Tilley in 2016. While he’s not very active on social media, many fans remember him for his resemblance to Liam Hemsworth.

17. Tyler Norris

Tyler was a fan-favorite on Rachel Recchia and Gabby Windey’s season on The Bachelorette for the way he treated both women, and he went on to seasons eight and nine of Bachelor In Paradise. Fans loved his friendship with Recchia on Bachelor In Paradise, but he has gone on to date influencer Alyssa Sheridan, who is not from the franchise.

16. Dylan Barbour

Fans first met Dylan on Hannah Brown’s season of The Bachelorette but grew to love him when he got engaged to fan-favorite Bachelor contestant Hannah Godwin back in 2019. They have since gotten married in France, and we’re obsessed with them both. 

15. Peter Weber

Okay, hear us out. His season of The Bachelor was chaotic because of his inability to make decisions, making him the ultimate Peter Pan of Bachelor Nation. However, he recently redeemed himself on the second season of The Traitors by making it a must-watch reality TV show through the clever way he played the game. All we’re saying is that we now see why Hannah took him to the windmill, landing him a spot in the middle of this list.

14. John Henry

Originally on Charity’s season of The Bachelorette, fans got to know (and love) John Henry on the ninth season of Bachelor In Paradise. While he got engaged to fellow contestant Kat Izzo, they broke off their engagement in late 2023. He appears to be single, and we’re already jealous of the woman who will win his heart.

13. Joe Amabile

Despite being eliminated on the first night of Becca Kufrin’s season of The Bachelorette, he became an instant fan favorite for his charm and sense of humor (and his looks, let's be real.) This led him to Bachelor In Paradise, where he started dating fellow contestant Kendall Long, but they broke up a few years later. He later went back on BIP, where he met his beautiful wife, Serena Pitt. 

12. Chase McNary

After getting his heart broken on JoJo Fletcher's season of The Bachelorette, Chase had a brief stint on MTV reality shows like Ex On The Beach and The Challenge. Since then, he has moved to Arizona and is now engaged, and the glow of love and the post-reality TV life looks great on him.

11. Jordan Rodgers

JoJo Fletcher's season of The Bachelorette is often considered one of the greatest of all time, and her relationship with final rose pick and now-husband Jordan Rodgers is #goals. Jordan is as handsome as he is perfect for JoJo, and we have no choice but to ship.

10. Greg Grippo

We can all agree that Katie Thurston’s season of The Bachelorette was a mess because she was essentially the season’s villain, but the upside is that we got Greg Grippo out of the disaster. The epitome of a golden retriever boyfriend, Greg is as dreamy as he is charming.

9. Jordan Kimball

He may have caused chaos on Becca Kufrin’s season as one of the funniest villains in franchise history but redeemed himself on Bachelor In Paradise. While his engagement to fellow contestant Jenna Cooper didn’t work out, he still got his happy ending by marrying an elementary school teacher named Christina and having a beautiful son named Thomas.

8. Matt James

He made history as the first Black Bachelor but won our hearts with his relationship with final rose pick Rachael Kirkconnell. Despite the controversy surrounding their relationship, they have stood strong through the criticism and found happiness in each other, which just makes him so much hotter.

7. Connor Saeli

Fans adored Connor on Hannah Brown’s season because he was handsome and kind (which was much needed during that season), but he’s currently famous for his relationship with influencer Jenna Palek.

6. Jason Tartick

As a fan favorite on Becca Kufrin’s season, Jason went on to date former Bachelorette lead Kaitlyn Bristowe, even getting engaged in 2020. While they broke up in 2023, Jason remains a fan favorite through his social media career and podcast, and it’s easy to see why because he’s both funny and easy on the eyes.

5. Mike Johnson

We’re not exaggerating when we say that it was a crime that ABC didn’t make this man the lead on The Bachelor after he won us all over on Hannah Brown’s season in 2019 because he’d be perfect. He’s not only handsome but brought maturity and empathy to one of the most chaotic seasons in the show's history.

4. Sean Lowe

Easily the best Bachelor lead of all time, Sean has aged like fine wine. He’s not only handsome but a genuinely good man, and his relationship and family with final rose pick Catherine Giudici Lowe is totally relationship goals. We’ve been obsessed since 2013 and don’t plan on stopping anytime soon.

3. Ben Higgins

Despite being the lead on The Bachelor eight years ago, Ben has always remained in the hearts of Bachelor fans. He’s classically handsome and showed kindness, vulnerability, and maturity in his season. While he and final rose pick Lauren Bushnell (now Lane) broke up, his marriage to influencer Jessica Clarke is one of our favorites in Bachelor Nation.

2. Joey Graziadei

Arguably the best Bachelor lead since Sean Lowe, Joey won the hearts of Bachelor Nation on Charity’s season of The Bachelorette and continues to do so on The Bachelor. He’s super hot (those green eyes!) and attentive to the women in his season, serving as the perfect example of healthy and traditional masculinity.

1. Tyler Cameron

The runner-up in Hannah Brown’s season of The Bachelorette is arguably the most popular man in the franchise, with 2.2 million followers on Instagram. He’s not only handsome, but he’ll always hold a special place in our hearts for the way he treated Hannah during the season and the friendship that the two have maintained in the years after her season wrapped.

Closing Thoughts

The Golden Ratio is a good way to rate traditional attractiveness, but it ignores one essential aspect of what makes a man so memorable: his personality.
