NOMINATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED.
I have been asked several times to do a post on gorgeous men. Being a straight male it would turn out badly. However since I have a list of the ten most beautiful women, it is only fair that I have one of men. So this thread is open to nominations for the next three days (till Thursday December 31st 2009 at 12:00 GMT). That will be followed by a poll and then a post on the top ten winners. In time I will do a post on each of the ten winners.
You can nominate as many men as you like in the comments below. He must be famous enough to have an article in the Wikipedia. He can be alive or dead or well past his prime.
If I wind up with too many nominations for a poll, then I will take the ones who have been nominated and seconded the most.
NOMINATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED.
Yayyyy! This is what I’m talking ’bout! This will be waayy more interesting than discussing women.

Most who I think of are dead, like Marvin Gaye, Raul Julia and Eddie Kendricks; that’s the unfortunate thing about being old. Besides George Clooney, can only think of one, which I don’t know his name. He is an actor and was on SG1 as an alien and Colonel Carter’s brief love interest.
Everybody else is so cookie cutter. Not that they aren’t handsome, but they don’t have that engaging look which draws you into them.

Yes, the Western media has a tendency to promote stereotypical Asian guys as ugly/nerdy.

Oh yes, Dracula. It’s so painful to watch. Especially since my favourite actor in the whole world played the lead (Gary Odlman) and the scenes they had together were really painful to watch.
Keanu might be a really, really nice guy, but sometimes his lack of acting abilities are distracting in a bad way. So I almost don’t notice his physical appearance. Plus, he’s not that gorgous, not to me.
I am sure there are gorgeous Asian men, but for some reason “they” (media) do not show them in the best light.
Any Ken’ichi Matsuyama pictures?
Wentworth Miller is handsome, no doubt about that, but I don’t know… Something is missing. My opinion only, of course.
It really depends on many things, really. There are gorgeous men that I, pesonally don’t find attractive. And those who I find hot and I am the only one who thinks that. For example, guys like Gary Odlman (very white skin, blue eyes, etc) are not really my type. But I can not take my eyes off that man, and maybe that’s because he’s a god actor, I don’t know. I didn’t nominate him because I don’t think ohter women find him attractive. I’ll keep him as my avatar, though 🙂

We met during summer break and spent the whole summer together. He went back to school and well, i’ll just say it didn’t last. Long distant relationships are hard to maintain.

I really respect your ablity to appreciate male beauty. I never understood men who say, “I’m straight, so I don’t know what looks good in a man”. bull. A man recognizes other male beauty but just may not want to admit it.
