Tricia Romano takes down People Magazine’s 'Sexiest White Man Alive'

Attractive doesn't automatically translate to sexy. If it was a competition of mots attractive man on earth, then yes I would agree, but it is not.
For example:
James Bond will always be played by an "older" mature man that drips sex-appeal - because that is who 007 is. And the men that have played him have not necessarily been the most attractive, but they really DO ooze sex-appeal for the general woman. Has nothing to do with "attractiveness".

Btw, the men who own the papers do not decide what will go into the paper per se to "drum up" older men - they go with what sells. Period.

And what sells equals "who is their reader demographic". That is for the most part ww and what the magazines perceive they want. Channing Tatum made the ww wet their panties w that idiotic movie (I refuse to go see) so that was an obvious (but dumb) choice... because they wanted to ride that movie and sell more copies. That is why there arent more bm on this list - First off, the % of bm to choose from is less compared to wm and they must be mainstream for magazines to put them in there.. in the name of selling copies. Tragic and sad, but that is how it works imo.

Those most sexiest list are dumbed down for the masses to sell more so that is why they are bogus, everybody should know that. Bogus dumb lists that pisses me off.

In my world, Morris is the sexiest man alive and everybody knows I am right!!!!:smt050

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.

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
 
Your perspective on things is always spot on.

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.

Not true. 21 Jump Street was hilarious and has a 85% approval rating on RT. (174 positive reviews while only 31 negative reviews)

And I havent seen Magic Mike and most likely will never see it(lol) but it got really good reviews as well (80% approval rating on RT)

Face it. Tatum tore it up this year and probably is worthy of this topical award. Honestly I wouldnt lose sleep over it folks.

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.
