Speechless

It dawned upon me that there is a glaring gap in the adjective market :
You can call a girl beautiful, pretty, attractive etc etc. BUT what can you call a guy except attractive and hot??? There isnt any equivalent to beautiful when referring to males.

So you can refer to a man's sex appeal but you can't refer to his aesthetic form? That's stupid!!! Because I study languages, this distresses me quite a bit. Its not like women don't talk about these things, in fact, we use alot of adjectives, just not to the men's faces. You can't very well go up to a guy and say " Wow. Youre so beautiful." It sounds wrong. Or at least in my head it does. Some help?? Please??
