1. funny how Jude Law looks like a little red x on my pooter

:shrug:

[Droopy]

3. right click then select "view image"

That's what I did with my netscape bowser anyway.

[wildhorses]

7. my option was to "show picture" but, when I clicked on it ...

nothing happened...thanks anyway :shrug:

[smirkymonkey]

9. Don't you think Red X's are sexy?

[terrya]

2. Tie between Rock Hudson and Ewan McGregor

Rock was so beautiful in the 50's and 60's. But Ewan McGregor...my god, he's so damn sexy.

I think it's a tie.

[smirkymonkey]

13. I considered them, but I couldn't include every sexy guy so

I sort of arbitrarily chose 9 out of hundreds! :)

[Blue Belle]

4. I had to vote for George...

but I must say, smirkymonkey, you have EXCELLENT taste in men! Kudos on the "Mr. Darcy/A&E's Pride and Prejudice" photo of Collin Firth... that's where I developed my crush on him too! :loveya:

[smirkymonkey]

22. That picture of Colin Firth is stunning isn't it?

There were so many from which to choose - I was trying to cover all bases.

[Blue Belle]

28. Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy...

It doesn't get much better than that. My favorite part is when he takes a swim in the lake and he walks back to his mansion to find Elizabeth Bennet there... damn I love that movie.

[adriennui]

49. you must see colin firth

in the advocate. great movie also.

[Droopy]

5. DeNiro doesn't strike me as being all that sexy

The roles that I've seen him play don't really cast him that way, either. Why did you include him? Of course I'm a straight guy so I'm probably not the best judge.

[smirkymonkey]

11. Actually, he doesn't do it for me either, but I know a lot of women

who find him very sexy. Note, these aren't necessarily MY choices for sexiest men - I was trying to offer a spectrum of well known sex symbols/leading man types.

My sexiest would include Gregory Peck, Colin Firth but also Liam Neeson, Gabriel Byrne, Alan Rickman, Ciaran Hinds, Daniel Craig and a few others that aren't generally popular or well know sex symbols (therefore I didn't list my own favorites because I didn't think as many people would know who they were.)

[Droopy]

14. Ah, ok

Learn something new every day. The women dig DeNiro.

[THUNDER HANDS]

6. my girlfriend would say Colin Firth

personally, I'd go with Marlon Brando

[NewJeffCT]

8. Errol Flynn

He was pretty popular in his day.

[momophile]

10. hard to choose between Gregory and Denzel...

you got the top two for sure on this list!!

[applegrove]

12. Jimmy Stewart?

[tjdee]

15. Cary Grant is the gold standard to which all men should be held to.

He was charming, sarcastic, funny, confident, good heartedly cantankerous...and it didn't hurt to look at him, either.



Though I must say my sweet thing SRK is a very close second. I don't recall Cary ever dancing!

[Jade Fox]

38. "Gold Standard".....

Bingo. Plus, Grant never traded on his sexiness, understanding that humility only made him more attractive because it made him seem attainable by us mere mortals.

[progmom]

16. Paul Newman

[smirkymonkey]

19. Whoops! and Robert Redford too.

Can't leave out those handsome Liberal Men!

[Strong Atheist]

17. How about Pierce Brosnan, Sean Connery, or Humphrey Bogart? nt.

[smirkymonkey]

18. I seriously considered Humphrey Bogart, but forgot about the

other two. I thought Humphrey had a certain sexiness about him, but I thought other people wouldn't get it.

[Strong Atheist]

20. Yeah, sometimes the polls do not have enough spaces, I know ... nt.

[DS1]

21. Clooney's a good lookin guy, and smart as well, but none of them

have a chance against Brando.

Fuckin' Brando, man!

/not gay

[NashVegas]

23. At That Time, Yeah

Unfortunately, he didn't age well.

My trouble with the men in this poll is that while they are or were all hot at one time or another, and some for a long, long time, none of them have made a life-long career of exuding sex the way some of those on the female poll have.

Clooney comes closest to that. Depp is hot, but he rarely works it. Brando worked it in the early days. DeNiro did for a little while.

[Kerrytravelers]

24. It's like a box of chocolate- I can't pick just one!

Or maybe it's my OCD for even numbers! :shrug:

[pitohui]

25. wt--?

no john cusack?

[samplegirl]

26. My pick...

~~~Richard Gere~~~~oooooooh la la

[Ivan Sputnik]

27. Clark Gable? n/t

[Hand]

53. DING DING DING DING DING!!!! We have a WINNER!!!!!!

Hands down, no contest. :toast:
Gable in the USAAF, WWII

[Blue Belle]

29. If I were to be so bold as to add anyone to this list...

It would be:



and

[smirkymonkey]

41. Who are they?

Pardon my ignorance - maybe I just don't recognize them.

[TheBaldyMan]

51. Steve McQueen & Harrison Ford (in the hat)

[Minnesota_Lib]

30. Sean Connery (nt)

[Cocoa]

31. Fabio

[ronnykmarshall]

32. "Mrs" RKM

:loveya:

[Katherine Brengle]

33. That photo of Gregory Peck swayed me big time--

I was all ready to vote for Clooney without even seeing the list, and then that picture just blew me away.

What a beautiful man... and Atticus Finch to boot!

[smirkymonkey]

42. He was a lifelong liberal as well - even in his personal life.

They just don't make them like that anymore.

[JI7]

34. this is tough

there are some very sexy guys. many in their own ways. past and present.

of those you listed maybe Gregory Peck based on the pic.

i always thought Paul Newman was very attractive . Jude Law too.

[Rowdyboy]

35. Clooney is hot, but the man you're looking for is Montgomery Clift

A gay man, Elizabeth Taylor adored him...Truly, the sexiest man of the century.

[smirkymonkey]

43. Another good choice that I forgot about.

What a handsome man!

[Guava Jelly]

36. I cant believe i didnt make the list

sniff sniff

[smirkymonkey]

44. Send me a pic and I'll add you to the list!

:)

[Maine-ah]

37. how about...

Clark Gable, Sean Connery, Harrison Ford, Jude Law

shit there are way too many....I can't decide they're all freakin' hot.

[LaraMN]

39. Marlon Brando.

He's hot in a timeless way...

[MiniMandaRuth]

40. Both my mom and I can say:

Colin Firth!

[khashka]

45. Ya missed a few

Sean Connery
Dustin Hoffman
William H. Macy

However, that pic of Colin Firth did very naughty things to my hormones :)

Khash.

[adriennui]

47. clooney has become sexier since he's been

more outspoken...he's not just a pretty face.

as far as mouth wartering sexy i find jeff bridges and harvey keitel the 2 men i'd most like to be stuck on a desert isle with (yes, i do have quirky taste in men).

[khashka]

52. I'm even quirkier

While Jeff Bridges gets my jockey shorts in a twist....

It would have to be Beau Bridges on a desert island. Yeah, he's gotten old and fat. Think I care? He's still hot. Never mind my jockey shorts, I'm much more interested in his :)


Khash.

[gollygee]

46. As much as I love Jude Law . . . Marlon Brando wins here

*swoon*

[Paladin]

48. Lawrence Olivier

[TheBaldyMan]

50. Rock Hudson

a gay man with a huge straight female following, he must have been really sexy.

[hholli11]

54. Where is Paul Newman? Robert Redford?

I think Robert DeNiro is one of the finest actors to ever walk the face of planet earth, but I can think of a LOT of men who are sexier, ya know. Matthew McConn-eh whatever comes to mind.

[LiviaOlivia]

55. Sam Cooke and Gary Cooper
