The other day I gave you all a list of
Guys Who All Guys Hate. There were some accusation that those chosen for this list were chosen out of jealousy because women love them. This could not be more false.
For one, there are a large number of women in our own comments section who agreed with the male hatred for these figures. Secondly, the deciding factor for all the choices was the male capacity for tool-dar. We can smell a tool a mile away and we care not for tools (the people version). Finally, as you'll see below the determining factor on male hatred for a fellow male is not good looks or female attention and affection as a number of these men, beloved by other men, are quite well off in those categories.
Ultimately, if the deciding factor for how much men everywhere hate you is how much of a tool you are, then the deciding factor for how much men everywhere love you is probably bad-assery. Below is a list a list of men who are universal mancrushes:
Christian Bale This dude owns the words intense and badass. Seriously, I think he's had them copyrighted. The dude is motherfucking Batman! Do I even need to say any more? I have and will watch every single movie he is and will be in. Almost every one of them is great. (A rare misfire in every conceivable way with Newsies, and Public Enemies was only so-so, but it's not his fault that Michael Mann's once brilliant mind for staging heist movies has been reduced to shtick).
Clive Owen This gloomy gus is the perfect silent badass in an overcoat that Harrison Ford played for years. Every talented director in Hollywood should be making a Neo-Noir film for Clive Owen to star in right now. And have you seen Children of Men? One of the best movies I've ever seen. Shoot 'Em Up was hilarious. It's called range, people!
Jason Statham I'm pretty sure he has the power to kill just by looking at people. He is a real martial artist and has a classic cool. He's like a modern day Steve McQueen (aka the inventor of awesome).
Bruce Lee The Legend. I don't even need to say anything, do I? I will add this, this is where every one of our facinations with martial arts and nunchuks began (well, Bruce Lee and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles).
Samuel L. Jackson "I'm tired of these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane!" Taught us all the meaning of bad mother fucker in Pulp Fiction and never looked back. Makes everything in life more enjoyable.
What are some other guys that all guys love?

This is crap - the only ones of those that are true are Samuel LJ and Bruce Lee - legends. Jason Stathom is a terrible actor in terrible films; Clive Owen isn't awful but he's definitely not loved and Christian Bale may make a good Batman and American Psycho was awesome but he is a bit of a tosser.
This post was pretty gay until Bruce Lee and if it were not for the awesome manliness of said martial arts legend it would still be pretty gay.
welllllllll i love them all!

i don't know about guys, but i also liiiiiike;
♥ HUGH fucking JACKMAN. [Because he's Australian.. duhh :P, and makes a sexy man-wolf.]

Jackie Chan.
Great list! And yes, I echo @bella_esperanza@xanga comment as well.
@MelancholyRambler@xanga - You took the words out of my mouth.
"Say 'what' again!"
idk anyone of them except bruce lee. :( but i know i like lee min ho hehehe
where the hell is CHUCK NORRIS?
@aquarius_lovedove@xanga - Chuck Norris is not a man, he is a god who masquerades in human form.
Christian Bale is definitely on top! Did we forgot how bad ass he was in Equilibrium? Psh.
But...Where the fuck is Clint Eastwood? Come on man...I think you need to redo this list.
@BlackJackBebe@xanga - Fuckin' right on. I definitely agree with Hugh Jackman, Vin Diesel and Brad Pitt (I too wish I had the tools to knock that woman up).
I disagree with Mark Wahlberg, though he is sexy, I just can't get past his short-lived New Kids on the Block Days...
And Gerard Butler. Damn, they don't make 'em like that anymore ;)
And Denzel is just one bad ass motherfucker no matter what movie he's in.
Finding it hard to go with Jason Statham but whatever. =S
My list in no particular order:
- Jeremy Clarkson
- Stephen Fry
- Martin Sheen
- Denzel Washington
- Al Pacino (how could you have forgotten?!)
- Michael Caine
- Morgan Freeman
- Clint Eastwood
And yes, Bruce Lee and Samuel M.F. Jackson are great.
Great list! I might also add Harrison Ford.
Bruce Willis
Where the hell is Will Smith? Everyone loves Will Smith!
Whoo! Go Lee! My boyfriend has mad respect for him, but I think my bf could kick his ass any day. I swear, my bf's like a ninja! And everybody fucking loves him and he's all like, "I don't care," and he's just sooooo cooooool! ^_^ And he's MINE!~
So, yeah, I don't even know who any of those other guys are, but I've got mad props for Lee.
Every man loves James Bond (any incarnation of him).
Ryan Reynolds (blade trinity, x-men), gerard butler (300)
This is not in order, right? Decent List! Bruce Lee should deff be on top of the list!
Wait you guys love Christian Bale even after his bitchfit moment?
o_O
I HATE him!
I don't know about y'all but the Rock (or Dwanye Johnson) and Will Smith are freakin awesome. I don't know anyone who dislikes either of them
I like Jason Statham. =)
and DENZEL!!! WHERE OH WHERE IS DENZEL!!!
Jason Statham is definitely badass. You're forgetting a lot of people! What about Christopher Walken? He's funny and a good actor too. I like Will Smith too. He's funny as hell but he plays serious roles too and he's a good dad, from what I can tell.
how about Clint Eastwood? any one see Gran Torino? The guy is in his 80's and he is still hard core.
