After a one-month period that saw more than one million votes cast, AskMen.com’s Top 49 Men of 2007 have been chosen, and the list is now revealed. “We’ve spent the past few weeks sifting through your votes and assembling the rankings of the guys that you’ve deemed to be the best representatives of our gender – this year’s manliest men,” says AskMen.com.
At #7 on the list, Apple CEO Steve Jobs ranks above the likes of Simon Cowell (#38), Apple’s own Jonathan Ive (#33), Kanye West (#28), Tiger Woods (#26), Stephen Colbert (#24), Richard Branson (#21), Sacha Baron Cohen (#18), Steve Carell (#13), Brad Pitt (#11), and George Clooney (#8).

He launched the video-streaming device known as Apple TV in January, the immensely successful iPhone in June, and new generations of iPods (including the updated iPod nano and the iPod touch) in September.

Who’s #1? David Beckham. Full list here.
Ok ladies, lets get to work.
Kanye West?
He doesn’t care about Mac people…..
Sounds like a bunch of Mets write for this magazine. Real men don’t write about other men. We’re men! And we know who we are!
what’s askmen, some gay portal?
Yes, the list consists mostly of fashion designers, actors and other entertainment industry personalities. It’s definitely a gay portal.
Kanye West? That uneducated **@#@.
Erg. Might as well have put Eric Cartman on there…..
David Beckham oh dear.
Isn’t Sasha Cohen a female ice skater?
Steve’s at #7
oh, so it’s AskMen.
I thought it said AssMen….
(not that there’s anything wrong with it)
..yeah, yeah, the Men have been asked ..about men ..about other men …about the representative gender-man. May I feel his beard ..how rough is it ..no, let me touch ..does he write backwards like Leonardo. Listen, I admire Steve ..sometimes I’ve even worshipped my own self in a full-length mirror. I guess I’m waiting for the day when we vote for the anti-man. The devolved man ..the abhorrent little hunchback ..the ugly son-of-a-bitch who wants to be thought a man so he commits little acts of kindness in hope to gain someones charitable attention. Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the ones who think they are crazy enough to change the world, the abhorrent little hunchbacks, the ugly son-of-a-bitches.
And sometimes it’s o.k. to not make a list.
(Look! No Woz and his glossy, feral kitties!)
Finally, something to help me update my resume (c.v. for you Brits).
Did Ballmer take the top five spots on the AskMonkey.com poll again this year?
Carry on then Dextroamphetamine, résume for the francophiles.

Lysergicaciddiethylamide is better for the soul – that’s why it is banned

it’s C.V. for the romans, too.
Off topic:
On NCIS on CBS right now, Gibbs just used an iPhone to snap a photo of a guy threatening to jump from a ledge. Good close up of the iPhone buttons to send the photo. Nice Apple product placement.
“Steve’s at #7”
The 7th most popular guy that Gay men want to have sex with…
pfft…what have the romans ever done for us?
But seriously dudes. It’s schweet to see two Apple dudes on this list and no Gates or Ballmer or that new dweeb they got who is supposed to be making the zune a popular toy. What’s his name again?
ROTFLMAO
Yeah and what’s a metro?
Educate me on this one somebody please!!!
Justin Timberlake???
WTF!
Hail Satan, full of hate, the Lord rebukes you
Cursed are thou amongst angels and cursed is the offspring of thy loins, judas
Evil Satan, father of sin, prey on the wicked now and to the hour of your destruction.
Hymen
“But seriously dudes. It’s schweet to see two Apple dudes on this list and no Gates or Ballmer “
Personally I’d rather not be on a list of people gay guys want to have sexual relations with.
“Yeah and what’s a metro?”
A metrosexual is the new name for a latent homosexual.
A quick look at askmen.com “About Us” page shows
ASKMEN.COM’S MISSION
AskMen.com is a free online destination for men, a men’s portal, designed to provide men with daily features on subject matter that interests the general male population.
What is its mission? To offer men candid advice, that is useful, practical and entertaining. AskMen.com address issues regarding dating, women, fashion, money, fitness, and entertainment. Offering advice that is too complicated or unrealistic does not serve any viable purpose, therefore it deals with topics that can be incorporated into men’s daily lives.
This site is not a “gay site”, it’s a general interest site geared towards men . . . straight men.
That being said, I’m a gay man and I personally think Jonathan Ivy is hot!
What’s significant is Steve is the only one in the top 20 who’s not directly in the entertainment or sport industries.
That says a lot about Steve.
So if you take out all in those industries, Steve is #1 and a way distant #2 ( 21 on their list) is English businessman, Richard Branson.
Impressive, Steve.
