I think a young Ackles was prettier than Bomer, but current Ackles has aged out of the pretty and into classically handsome.
Bomer is wicked pretty, esp. as Neal. He was merely pretty as Bryce.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Neal-Bomer is the same kind of pretty as Simon-Sean Maher, to me. Very lovely facial structure and body language, an intensity in the gaze, drop dead smile. They remind me of one another a lot.
People who've seen Ackles real-life tell me he's ordinary looking. With his coloring I can see that, if he's chilling or lurking. But I'll bet he can flip that "on" switch.
edit for the misspelling. I know someone named Bohmer so it's autospell for me.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
Ackles to me was at his prettiest as Ben/Alec. He has a special relationship with the camera. What Bev said is true. I work with men more handsome than him but I would bet my house that they wouldn't hold a candle to him in a photo/film. They certainly couldn't attain the level at ita's link.
Bomer is in that pretty-like-woah zone right now. I thought he was cute as Bryce, but now he is perfect for the character of Neal.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Leverage will be moving to Sundays when it comes back (June 20) and it returns with a two-hour opening, and apparently runs two hours the next Sunday too. Which...grr! It just means the run will be shorter.

To me, Bomer was more attractive back in his True Calling/Traveller days. He was Rob Lowe-style pretty early in his career, transitioned into rowrr a few years ago, and has since swum back upstream to a more angular, slightly androgynous look.

That link comes up forbidden for me, Matt.

Huh. That didn't work the first time for me.
I think he's definitely hit an aesthetic peak right now. For me that synchs up with his attractiveness, unlike with JA.

“Not dead yet!”
I'm such a dork. While I could always appreciate Bomer's brand of pretty, during the Traveler days, it was Logan Marshall-Green that had me going ga-ga.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen
I think that Bomer is looking his best right now, though I do agree that it's a bit more androgynous than he's been in the past, which has to do with him being thinner, and with Neal's aesthetic. But I think he's getting better-looking as he ages, and I honestly think his hair on WC is a freakin' work of art. Whatever team of artists/fairies/magic makers create THAT deserve serious praise. Because his Bryce Larkin hair and his Traveler hair were okay and all, but his White Collar hair is mesmerizing.
Ahem.
