and this one’s for the ladies…

ok, not exclusively. Several lovely and delightful young women have come to me and specifically complained about how I only did a sexiest women poll. And that I should a sexiest men poll.

I personally maintain that a sexiest men poll is stupid and derivative. That not enough people are going to vote in it to make it worthwhile. And that in the end it won’t really amount to much of anything. But I am nothing if not fair and balanced.

So here we go. Introducing The Hottest Men Alive – 2006 Edition. Same rules as the chick contest. List your top five to ten sexiest men, in order. Men wil get 10 points for being voted first, nine for being voted second, and so on, down to 1 point for being voted 10th. Tell all your friends to come and vote too and in the end I’ll tabulate everything just like before and after a week (next Sunday) I’ll post who the winners are and we can all discuss it, bash the results and come to the conclusion that the whole thing was pointless because men aren’t really all that sexy. Other than me of course.

Men and women of any sexual preference are both welcome to vote and feel free to invite people I don’t know to vote. in fact I encourage it. It’ll probably make for a better cross section.

    This is where all the dudes come in and vote for themselves, right?

      well, I encourage you to be vote for me…

        Did ladies come in and vote for themselves on the other poll?

          May 21, 2006 at 9:42 pm

          a few did. Most played fair. This all goes in to why I think the male version of this poll is utterly doomed to failure. Men are 1) less likely to play fair 2) harder to objective rate 3) of greater variance in norms of attractiveness. And other things. Or at least those are my theories. I will probably expound upon them once this experiment is over (success or failure)

          1. May 21, 2006 at 10:07 pm

            While I agree with 1), I disagree with 2 & 3. There are definitely standards of attractiveness and fitness. Some people prefer blondes or brunettes, some like big chests or small chests, but there are certain people who are just plain not attractive, like Jerry Stiller, who won’t be nominated.

            I knew you’d disagree. Most women would disagree. That said, women will always have a harder time agreeing on those norms between themselves. It’s just the way our culture works.

            Obviously there are different variances among the male culture’s preference for females as well. But I think that they’re easier to standardize.

          3. May 22, 2006 at 2:07 am

            Are you nuts? Jerry Stiller is synonymous with “hot!”

            It’s Ben Stiller who fell off the ugly truck.

          just so you know, the only substanative results you would have had would have been to jump Salma ahead of Natalie Portman, and you would have bumped Gwen Stefani and Audrey Tatou into the lower ranks of the top 25 knocking Ziyi Zhang and Kirsten Dunst out. (well, into 26 and 27).

        #4 and #7. As far as I know. As I mentioned on my mav-pimping-post, I needed help coming up with 10 hot men.

        1. mav
          May 21, 2006 at 10:00 pm

          see, the fact that you needed to use google to come up with 10 (and you were one of the people who WANTED me to do this) is yet more evidence that this is just much sillier than the corresponding female version…

          1. May 21, 2006 at 10:05 pm

            I would need to Google to come up with 10 hot women, too. I might even need to Google to come up with 10 hot people.

          2. mav
            May 21, 2006 at 10:13 pm

            maybe, but you didn’t vote in that poll. You WANTED to do this one though. And as it stands, you’re a full 33% of the electorate.

            Its not a bid deal. I just don’t have a lot of faith in this one, unlike the other one, which made sense. I think several people thought that my saying these things was due to my own sexism. Its not. Its due to my understand of culture and sociology. Especially with pop culture and the internet. But even off the internet, its worth noting that the Maxim hottest women list is relatively static from year to year (relatively) wheras the People sexiest men list is all over the place from year to year.

            Anyway, I already have relative predictions for what’s going to happen with the sexiest men poll that I’m fairly certain will pan out.

          3. May 21, 2006 at 11:52 pm

            its worth noting that the Maxim hottest women list is relatively static from year to year (relatively) wheras the People sexiest men list is all over the place from year to year.

            It sounds to me like maybe the folks at Maxim are a bit lazy, or that men, having established their criteria for hotness, just kind of stick with it. Whereas there is all kinds of new hot boyness on the scene lately.

          4. mav
            May 22, 2006 at 12:09 am

            not lately, always. I’m not making a value judgement here. It simple fact. Women tend to be much more influenced (sexually) by personality and charisma and feelings than men are. As such you’re going to get a more diverse set of answers in a poll that is going to vary more from year to year. That is assuming that you get women to vote at all which is going to be much harder than it is was the other way.

      2. May 21, 2006 at 10:10 pm

        And in answer to the previous version of this question, I know Luciano, but I do not yet know the guy at the gym. I’ve smiled at him though.

    1. Vin Diesel: credit where credit is due, the brother is built. He’s also an avid D&D player.

  7. May 22, 2006 at 12:12 am

    This is easy. I don’t need to Google either.

    1. Chris Maverick, of course
    2. Marcus Holly, of course
    3. Sean Thomas, of course
    4. H. Jameel al Khafiz – I love that you voted for yourself; should have put yourself #1 though. Shoot, it was Your list!

    Is there anybody else? Oh yeah, I guess there is.

    5. Denzel Washington – needs no explanation
    6. Johnny Depp – neither does he
    7. Robert Deniro (you KNOW this is an old lady’s ballot!)
    8. Ed Bradley (60 minutes) – Intelligent is REALLY sexy, plus he’s cool & a jazz fan
    9. Andrea Bocelli – Sing to me any & every day
    10. James Todd Smith* – ooooo those lips

    Oh yeah, and I take issue with your above comment re: “playing fair”. You imply that voting for oneself wasn’t fair; well I saw NO mention of that in the Official Rules and Regulations. If nobody else was self confident enough to vote for themselves… oh well! You know I don’t lack self confidence and I still feel it was quite an appropriate ballot 😉

    Okay, I’ll give it an actual shot.
    1) Johnny Depp, easy peasy
    2) Oded Fehr (particularly in The Mummy. Yum!)
    3) Hugh Jackman (except when dancing as a gay song-writer on Broadway)
    4) Brad Pitt
    5) Taye Diggs
    6) Joseph Fiennes
    7) Jonathaon Rhys-Meyers
    8) Denzel Washington (still, although he’s moving away from hot into distinguished status)
    9) Viggo Mortensen as Aragorn (not so hot with blonder hair in real life)
    10) Ken Watanabe

    I want to put George Clooney because he’s amazing, but under the “I want to lick the sweat off of his neck” rules (how I pick what is hot) he doesn’t quite make it. He’s more the “take me out for a romantic dance, opera, dinner, amazingly witty conversation” type.

      May 22, 2006 at 2:11 am

      but under the “I want to lick the sweat off of his neck” rules (how I pick what is hot) he doesn’t quite make it.

      I think its worth mentioning that that’s pretty much how I picked the girls on my version of the list too. It wasn’t about who I’d marry or who I’d date. Hotness is about who you want to jump in the sack with the most. As such some of my favorites got bumped out of the top 10 or off the list entirely. Basically I needed to be able to look at the person and say “I want to bang them in the most dirty possible way! yep! She gets my vote.” 🙂

    3. Antonio Banderes
    2. Joaquin Phoenix
    1. Jeffrey T. Eaton

    I feel obligated to point out here that there are lots of actors that I think “Oh Good Lord, he’s freakin’ HOT” in one movie or TV show, and then I see pictures of them in another movie or somewhere, and they are not as hot as I thought. This is almost always due to good hair. I don’t know what it is about the hair. I guess all I’m saying is: Guys, take good care of your hair!

    1. mav
      May 22, 2006 at 3:52 am

      is Crudup really a worse name then Joaquin? What is a Joaquin anyway?

      (I’m also not terribly fond of the name “Viggo”)

      1. May 22, 2006 at 4:19 am

        Joaquin sounds like a liquor, maybe a brand of tequila. It’s manly. Crudup contains “crud.”

        1. May 22, 2006 at 3:05 pm

          What Max said.

          Besides, Joaquin is different and interesting and maybe a little exotic.

          Billy Crudup sounds like the mechanic noone actually wants to go to because they’re afraid their car will end up missing key parts.

  16. May 22, 2006 at 8:22 am

    ah-ha!

    i knew i made that list for a reason. this is changed just slightly from the list i originally posted in my journal along with the list of women, though i’m a bit torn about whether or not to include the change, because part of me thinks it’s not entirely fair to include people i’ve seen in person, especially one that actually sort of exists in that friends of mine have had substantial contact with him… it gets dangerously close to that mixing of reality with celebrity that breaks my brain. in the end, though, i decided he adds a bit more diversity to the list, which was looking awfully conventional.

    1. Clive Owen
    2. Joaquin Phoenix
    3. Johnny Depp

      Re: ah-ha!

      well, there was nothing wrong with voting for someone you know. And in any case, its not that conventional. That was my whole point of why its silly to do a list of men. Every woman believes that their tastes in men are relatively standard, but there’s FAR less overlap between women than any given woman actually realizes. Even among the rather geek heavy voting pool that is appearing here. If this were to be a fair poll, there’d be even less consensus.

      1. May 22, 2006 at 6:00 pm

        Re: ah-ha!

        interestingly, i don’t actually believe my tastes in men are that standard overall, which is why i was surprised i came up with a list that seemed to me relatively so. but you’re right, there hasn’t seemed to be too much overlap with other lists yet.

        any guesses as to why there’s so much less consensus?

    Gah, I’m hoping you didn’t count my votes before I deleted my first list, as I remembered two important ones.

        Which, I assume, would be standing up in a hammock with an abacus?

          Re: YEAH!

          I suppose it depends on what you’re doing with the abacus.

  18. May 22, 2006 at 4:33 pm

    This is really pretty difficult, because context matters so much. I mean, fundamentally, is “guy I would most like to sleep with”, so that’s pretty much the “sexiest” thing tied up, right there. Would he be sexier if he looked like Denzel? Well, probably, but then he wouldn’t be him.

    So, on sheer physical attractiveness*….

    Denzel Washington
    Peter Wingfield
    Johnny Depp
    Ewan McGregor
    Christian Bale
    David Bowie
    Jonathan Rhys Meyers
    Jamie Oliver
    Paul Gross
    Adrian Brody

    * Please note. Matt Damon would be #2 on this list, except that he looks A LOT like my brother G. A LOT. To the point where I can’t watch Saving Private Ryan without thinking of my baby brother in that horrible war.

    all right, finally ready

    and geez, this took a huge chunk of time from when I could have been doing tedious but worthwhile tasks like showering, turning in grades, trimming the hedges, or taking the bus to meet for lunch (not that she’s tedious, but the bus is). I now appreciate just how obsessive you must have been to not only contribute, but organize, tabulate, and present the “sexiest women” poll.

    Btw, you know it’s jerky and narciscisstic of you to say, “I personally maintain that a sexiest men poll is stupid and derivative. That not enough people are going to vote in it to make it worthwhile. And that in the end it won’t really amount to much of anything,” but I’m going to assume for the sake of our friendship that you were just winding me up (not personally but.), and that it will actually draw more votes because you said that.

    10) Orlando Bloom
    9) Jeremy Irons
    8) Peter Murphy
    7) Li Young Lee
    6) Michael Stipe
    5) Conor Oberst
    4) Chris Carrabba
    3) Matthew Gray Gubler
    2) David Krumholtz

    and, because a) he’s hot and b) while I’m watching these other fine fellas parade across the screen (okay Li-Young Lee, probably not on-screen that often) he’s warm and snuggly and right there next to me, and not making any snarky comments whenever I make my famous-person-lust verbally known

      First of all, its not narciscisstic. It’s only narciscisstic when I point out that its stupid because obviously I am the sexiest. 😛

      That said it was intentionally jerky just to wind people up. But it remains pointless, stupid and derivative for reasons that I have explained to other people in personal messages and will talk about here once the thing is over. The results actually back up my claim very well, actually. (as mean an offensive as I am, I don’t just make this shit up… there’s wicked smarts backing me up, yo. 😉 )

    Even if you do find that there’s more variance in sexiest men than sexiest women chosen, you can’t say this “proves” that there’s a smaller range in what’s attractive for women. One possible explanation is that there are more famous men than women to think of.

    It would be more interesting to show faces (or, faces and bodies) of X men and X women and have people rank those.

    1. mav
      May 24, 2006 at 1:07 am

      its been my theory all along that it would be much more interesting for women to pick generically across archetypes than to see them pick specific individuals. I told you that before.

      As for the reasons for the variance. They don’t matter in this instance. All I was saying is that it would be there, and that the variance would be too great to make the poll meaningful.

      *sigh* I am gonna take so much flack for allowing votes 7-9 (I’m counting 10 for James Marsden, since he has other votes). But really, I guess its no worse than allowing that vote for “Your Mom” as my mom, and I doubt Louis XVi is gonna amount to much in the poll anyway (now watch him make a late showing win).

      That said, I am totally pulling for Danny Trejo.

      1. mav
        May 24, 2006 at 5:46 am

        Ok, my mother has convinced me to DQ votes 7-9 since I’ve clearly stated before that the people had to be alive. That auto bumps James Marsden(Cyclops) up to 7, and gives him 3 extra points.

        1. May 24, 2006 at 5:53 am

          neither do atheletes. Most of them are in shape because of what they do, but there are groupies in every sport. And even the most out of shape athelete can get one.

          And musicians might not be in shape, but they can sing (or play guitar or whatever). That’s probably no less sexy.

          I honestly don’t care much for him either. I don’t think he’s actively unsexy though (like Depp).

          Now if he’d voted for Trejo, that would be something!

            Vin Diesel punched you so hard that your dead sidekick came back to life as a supervillain.

            yeah, but then Trejo ate the supervillian…

            as a snack…

            Holy shit. Is is possible that Danny Trejo is the Vin Diesel of the antimatter universe of Qward?

            possible… And if Crisis has taught me anything, it’s that the anti-matter version of someone is MUCH more powerful than the matter version

            Hardly. The Monitor took a dive, the GLC consistently beats both the Thunderers of Qward and Sinestro, and the JLA kicks the CSA’s ass every time they clash.

            I’m going to have to make Vin Diesel in Fight For New York now….

            hmmm… but who is to say which of Trejo and Diesel is the prime and which is the alternate?

        Depp is there for crybaby, and his lips.
        Diesel is there for his sneer and his geekiness.

      I am so much sexier than Meron! Ah well, I forgive you since we haven’t met. 🙂

      Anyway, thanx for the vote. Come back in a few days to see the results.

      So Belushi is invalid as he is dead.
      Ed the Sock is invalid because he’s a fictional character.

      Do you want me to move Stewart, Stamos and Connery up a spot each or do you have other people you want to add.

      1. May 25, 2006 at 5:48 pm

        Since when do they have to be alive?!

        And Ed The Sock is just as real as that guy from The Notebook!

        Sigh… I guess you can bump them up and round out the top 10 with Bob Saget and NPH.

          the character from the Notebook would be invalid. the actor is fine.

        Re: My own personal votes

        actually, I’d rather not. I’ve already tabulated the results. The only reason that I haven’t posted them yet is that its taken me this long to look for photos, cut them and get them organized in a nice little HTML grid. I’m still not done yet, but I’d really not like to start over.
