You've got to hand it to Ryan Gosling. He is one smokin' hot hunk-o-rama. Not only does he look good, and he's a great actor, but he goes around saving people's lives and stuff. But also ... he loves him some older women! Yeah, there are butt men, and boob men, and then there are cougar men. I'm thinking Ryan is a cougar man. He and his cou-gal, Eva Mendes, were spotted holding hands (hell, they were clutching hands!) in New York City yesterday after grabbing some java.

Ry and Eva, who is seven years older than he is, are still going strong after a bunch of break-up rumors. And this isn't a surprise since the older gals are his thing. Just take a look at this man's romantic history.

First, Ry hooked up with Sandra Bullock, long before she was married to that serial cheater, Jesse James. At the time, Sandy was 16 years older than Ryan. That's a serious ride on the cougar carosel. And makes Ryan very hot.

Then Ry moved on to his The Notebook costar, Rachel McAdams. She's only two years older than Ryan, but hey, that's like 10 years in Hollywood years.

Now he's with Eva, who is 38, while Ryan is 31. That doesn't exactly qualify Eva as a "cougar" since, technically, a cougar is supposed to be 10 years older than her cub, not seven. (I had to do research on that once, that's how I know. Yeah, there's rules for this kind of thing.) But who cares about these little technicalities.

What is clear that Ryan likes his women to be women -- not little girls. I bet in intimate moments, Ryan doesn't coo, "Hey girl," but "Hey woh-man." Oh yeah.

Does Ryan's jones for older ladies make him sexier?
