Reddit user winkeltwinkle asked: 'Straight men of Reddit who is the hottest man?'

Personal preferences aside, there are some people that are almost universally recognized as physically attractive.

It's common in society for most people to comment on another person's looks.

But heterosexual men are generally discouraged from remarking on other men's appeal.

That doesn't mean they don't have man crushes though!


Reddit user winkeltwinkle asked:

"Straight men of Reddit who is the hottest man?"

But would heterosexual men respond?

"Society: Most men are insecure about their sexuality."

"Reddit: Straight men of reddit, who is the hottest man?"

"Most Men: OH f*ck yes, here we go!"

~ Zetawilky

"Bless this site and bless these men."

~ Fluffy-kitten28

Respond they did, with enthusiasm.

Viggo Mortensen

"Aragorn, son of Arathorn."

~ CHIM_Jim

"Every man will momentarily hesitate when scheduling a haircut, because deep down he feels like if he let his hair grow just a little longer, he could look exactly like Aragorn."

~ CaptainOverthinker

"Funnily enough Legolas was my favourite as a kid."

"Now I’m grown up, I realise how humble and headstrong Aragorn is. He’s my favourite."

Henry Cavill

"Henry Cavill. I'd gladly spend a day with him just talking about geek stuff."

~ Ockial

"Look I'm as straight as they come. Married with two kids and everything."

"But all I'm saying is if Henry Cavill wants to tie me down and whisper the specs to his new PC tower in his Geralt voice, who am I to say no?"

~ WaffleBlink

"Same here, but he won't even need to tie me down."

"For him I'll switch teams willingly."

~ Centralredditfan

"I didn't say I would be tied down involuntarily."

~ WaffleBlink

"I usually couldn't tell you if some guy off the street is handsome or not. Like... am I the handsome one out of my group of friends or am I the ugly one? Somewhere in the middle? I have no clue."

"Henry Cavill, though, that dude is a 10. Even I can tell you that."

~ Ocksu2

Chris Evans

"I'm not gay, OK, I'm not. I like chicks."

"But if Chris Evans' Captain America needed to get off, like, to save the world from Hydra or something, and I was the only one around?

"Well I'm a patriot dammit! I'd let him [have sex with] me."

~ CheeseNBacon2

"Hell yeah brother, a true patriot you are."

"This is the one! He is beautiful and talented, inside and out."

"Humble, honest, caring, down-to-earth, and shredded as all heck."

"I thought I didn’t have a homosexual bone in my body, but that scene where he comes popping out of the tank as Wolverine … something awoke inside of me."

Great Guys

"I love that so many of the gruff and tough characters are usually played by such kind and fun men.

"Say what you will about the Fast and Familyous movies, but Vin Diesel looks like he would be fun to hang out with. And Dwayne Johnson looks like he would be able to make you enjoy getting into a workout routine."

~ Fyrrys

"[Hugh Jackman is a] super nice guy as well."

"I met him a few years ago while helping a friend to move, who incidentally was a Broadway actor. Hugh was there as well lugging boxes with the rest of us."

~ fulthrottlejazzhands

Ryan Gosling

"I went to Barbie for Margot Robbie, I stayed for Ryan Gosling."

Jensen Ackles

"Jensen Ackles"

"I finally told them I did."

~ ATXGOAT93

"I'm a straight man and I binge watched Supernatural and I think it was the only time I was actually emotional when the show ended, like I genuinely missed Dean for a minute there."

"Deep voice, tall, perfect face genetics, total dork. I'd love to see him in something with Cavill."

~ sendabussypic

Ewan McGregor

Hollywood Legends

"Robert Redford in his younger years. The guy had an annoyingly winning smile that just reminded us all of what we'll never be."

~ bdbr

"Add Paul Newman to that list - the movies he did with Redford are gold. Great chemistry between those two."

~ TheTalentedMrTorres

"I know it doesn't need to be said, but a young Marlon Brando is probably the hottest actor of all time."

In another bid to get back into the good graces of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's fans, gun rights poster boy Kyle Rittenhouse claimed fluoride in drinking water is "making people gay."

Rittenhouse fell out of favor with the MAGAsphere in 2024 for criticizing their Dear Leader on his 2nd Amendment stance. After deleting the critical X post which spawned rumors among Trump's MAGA minions that he was secretly transgender, Rittenhouse stayed off social media until December 2025 when he announced he was married.
