    Maybe a "hot guy" works better, Moonspeaker? Like it was translated in the original.
    Though we do need to consider Daiyousei saying it.

    Pretty much that. ChaosKnight originally went with "handsome man", and I agree it suits this Daiyousei's demeanor better than "hot guy".

    But then there's the additional layer that you shouldn't recommend a "hot" guy to a cold spirit.

    True, but that's not part of the meaning in the original Japanese. It's a cute bonus, but the phrase still loses the feel of the original that way.
