Ryan Gosling Hey Girl: Valentine's Day Edition (PHOTOS)

"Hey girl" is a simple salutation that conjures images of a smoldering, pensive Ryan Gosling in the minds of every 20-something girl (and boy) who's followed the megawatt Internet meme since its 2008 inception. Well, the time has come to take that meme and let it soar on the wings of love. Consider this a special gift from us to you on Valentine's Day.

A meme, of course, is a cultural joke or motif that circulates widely via social-networking sites. And given Ryan Gosling's ruggedly handsome face, it's no surprise that the comely actor's likeness continues to turn up on more than a few Facebook, Tumblr and Twitter accounts.

Gems like "Hey girl, don't worry. If I go jewelry shopping for you, I'll bring your BFF to help pick" and "Hey girl, sometimes I get so sad when we can't watch 'Golden Girls' together" have undoubtedly helped secure the "Crazy, Stupid, Love" star's status as the ultimate ladies' man.

What do women find alluring about this guy? I just don't get it!

I think it has a lot to do with his character in The Notebook. That's when my friends started freaking out over him anyway.

Uh, "ruggedly handsome"?? Harrison Ford is ruggedly handsome. Michael Fassbender is ruggedly handsome. Ryan Gosling is a a baby faced pretty boy.

Still, I wouldn't throw him out of the bed for eating crackers.

I fancy Ryan because there's something other than a pretty face about him..

not that awesome -- the who is writing this stuff -- Hey girl, I can pitch and catch at the same time serves up a lot more entendre. If your audience is slow its their fault, not yours.

Yes, my eyebrows raised a tad at that one too. Pitching and catching at once? Talented lad, and perhaps a little more interesting than I'd initially thought...

Why do I see an article about this guy every week? Is he some sort of feminist icon?

Yes.

So, the "female gaze" and objectification of Ryan Gosling is ok, right?

[djoann]

Yes.
