People magazine will reveal their Sexiest Man Alive this week – who will it be? Although People has their own system for selecting the reigning sexy man, we wanted to know, what do YOU think makes a man sexy? We asked real women, what are the things that make you really think a man is sexy? Quite a few of the answers were physical, but still – you all appear to have your values in line – you do weigh kindness as more important than abs.

1. Confidence: The answer that occurred overwhelmingly more than anything else was confidence. You all noted that a man who is sure of himself is the thing that makes him most sexy. “When his guy friends are all doing one thing, but he says he is going to do another thing, THAT is hot,” Jane from Los Angeles says. “And it’s even hotter if they then all go along with it!”

Ellie from Houston echoed Jane’s statement. “When a guy says, ‘This is my girlfriend’ proudly and doesn’t care what his buddies say, that is sexy!”

2. Kindness: Who says nice guys finish last?! You all thought that a man who shows kindness is sexy!

These are all great, but intelligence is at the top of my list, along with kindness.

A man is sexy if he's confident, passionate about what he does, and is a gentleman.

Confidence is a good one. Not over-confidence of course. Guys who act like God's gift can take a hike.
As for my own list....
I was a music major & in love with all things creative, whether it's performing or visual arts, so some involvement in that area is a great, as it gives us something in common. Intelligence is helpful. I can't tell you how many otherwise attractive men have lost my attention 5 minutes into the conversation. As much as I love the Julie Brown song, I just don't really "like 'em big & stupid."
Sense of humor is a huge turn on for me! When it comes to celebrity crushes, comedians are consistently at the top of my list. Conan O'Brien, Lewis Black, Orlando Jones...the list goes on! A man who can make me laugh can come over any time.

It also helps if he looks good in Victorian clothing. hehe

Intelligence, kindness/compassion, great sense of humor, gentlemanly qualities, excellent hygiene, great smile and the capacity to love deeply.
Although I haven't had a man in many years (I'm dying from cancer), I have taught my 28 year old son to have all of these qualities. P.S. All the girls are NUTS about him - he does have great abs and muscular arms from working out - just sayin'....

I like them tall, smart, and inclined to appreciate feminism. I'll take the last two over the first one any day.

My BS detector went off when you tried to rebut the axiom that Nice Guys Finish Last. Because they do. You ladies like the assholes, which is why you always end up with them. It isn't bad karma, bad astrology, or any of the other nonsense you make up to try and rationalize it.
