    I would agree if they didnt leave out box office megastars like Will Smith and Samuel L who gross billions.

    I agree on that, thats why its bogus and stupid
    Will is handsome AND sexy and Samuel L is not exactly handsome, but drips sexappeal.

    And thats why I dont buy the whole most popular or magazine demographic arguments. Its hard not to think its based on some racial nonsense more so than pure popularity. Speaking of Morris Chesnut I just saw him in a repeat of American Horror Story as a security guard. It made no damn sense that this dude is doing glorified extra work.

    I still think that is the reason (its all about the all mighty dollar and how they percieve how to get just that), its just that we are nowhere near equality for anything in regards to bm/bw. Denzel is "safer" compared to Will and Samuel L. Just a guess, dont know - who knows.

    So that is why I agree w u on the lists. And apart from that, you cant make a list like that as it is perception and people have different views of what is sexy anyhow.

    I know, why is Morris getting these stupid bit piece jobs? He is an excellent actor:smt095

    Other than those awful star wars films when has Samuel L ever grossed billions???:confused:

    I do agree that Will Smith is a box office star but he's taken a lot of time off recently(he only did MI3) and that was his first film in 4 years. He was so stupid to turn down Django Unchained imo. That could of got him an Oscar nom.

    Holy shit!:smt107
    Well good for him lol

    And i completely forgot about the Avengers and Jurrasic Park.

    Although he is a co star in those. He isnt the main star (like in Black Snake Moan or his other smaller films)

    Good find though!

    Yup - that's what I have been saying too.

    My BFF subscribes to People, but I don't. She is into White men in general.

    I'm White yet I get magazine solicitations from Black publications based on my past subscriptions. Why? Because my info is sold to them, not to mention People Mag KNOW their demographics down to a T..it's almost a science, and no amount of complaining FROM MEN WHO DON'T BUY THEIR "SEXIEST MAN ALIVE Edition (or one female blogger) will change their mind. :smt102

    Come on, most of the James bone have been attractive.

    Channing Tatum I can understand. However, how could a old Sean Connery be voted sexist man. In the 60's, I get it, but in the past 20 years, no. Robert Patterson has been every where; by your logic, he should have won.

    Plus, I don't believe it has to do with popularity as TDK said. As, with top 100 sexist women, the top woman is never what most men talk about. Keira Knightley won sexist woman a few times, and I have never seen men on forums or heard men in real life mention her as 'sexy'.

    Whoever they want to promote "this season" gets the nod.

    Rotten Tomatoes isn't all knowing. The film "Looper" got 94% on RT. That's near Godfather 2 level rating. How is that possible. Sometimes people are payed or given incentives to rate movies highly.

    I'm not saying Tatum doesn't deserve his 'No.1' spot. I was just referring to the whole sheep like following of Hollywood stars.

    Hearing a 16-30 year saying "Geroge Clooney is HOT!" is a damn lie. When we all know, they would not date a 51 year old man if he approached them in a club or in the street. He would be seen as a dirty old perv.

    You cannot pretend you don't see it.

    Where are the Taye Diggs and Morris Chestnuts?

    Nobody outside of the black mainstream know who the fuck those two are...Idris Elba is borderline, as he hasn't done anything in American cinema.
