Add a word/Sounds like "gah" (as in "garden") + "LAHN" (as in "lava")/
Meaning
An attractive, elegant, charming man who knows how to carry himself. In Mexico, telling someone they look 'muy galán' is a strong compliment that combines physical attractiveness with style and presence, and it lands well with any guy who hears it. Closer to 'dashing' than just 'handsome.'
Examples
“He showed up looking sharp at the event.”
“Your boyfriend is really handsome, where'd you find him?”
