Best compliment for a man

Best compliment for a man

What is the best compliment to give a man? Something that says strong, handsome, desireable? I'm hoping for an well-known idiom or cultural reference, similar to "a man among men." Or maybe what a lady might say if she is smitten with a man, like "I'd take him home to Mama any day" etc. I'd like something that suggests an intelligent alpha-male, like "king of the hill" or "all the men wanted to be him, all women wanted to be with him." I'm interested in anything, just please include what it means! If it translates "He's so handsome I don't mind that he's dumb," that's not what I want (but send it anyway, for fun!). I'm hoping for layers of meaning, like "that man ruins reputations!" or "He's like my favorite movie: I want to see him again and again!" Something outrageous is ok, but I really want something genuine, not sarcastic or a disguised insult: i.e. "Macho Man" is not a compliment in English! Sorry for this lengthy question, I'm just hoping to find a gem!
