40 Men That Men Find Beautiful
We’ve said before that there is a certain type of woman whose appearance other women will gush about, but men just won’t “get” (see: 40 Women That Women Find Attractive). But are there certain types of males that inspire the same feeling in men? To find out, we polled a wide cross-section of the men in our lives. While coming up with the list was surprisingly easy, getting dudes to express why they found each man beautiful proved more challenging. Some were clear on why they admired quirky self-made millionaire Elon Musk, or how they respected Christian Bale for restoring dignity to the Batman franchise by not having those rubber nipples. But getting to the bottom of man-crush Danny DeVito? Not so simple. Click through the slideshow for their picks, with our best guesses as to why they were chosen.
