We’re mean. Out of dozens of Hollywood’s handsomest leading men, we made BettyConfidential readers vote for the hottest ones in every age group. That means they had to pick between Jake Gyllenhaal or Ryan Gosling, George Clooney or Brad Pitt, Robert Downey Jr. or Daniel Craig. Oh, the horror!

But our readers were troupers, and they made those difficult decisions to help us pick the best men. Below are the winners and the runners-up. If you didn’t get the chance to vote for your favorites yet, now's your chance – defend your men of choice!

Early 20s: Emile Hirsch, 25

Runners-up (in order): Robert Pattinson, 23, Chace Crawford, 24, Shia LaBeouf, 23, Zac Efron, 22, Kellan Lutz, 25, and Penn Badgley, 23

We thought for sure that Robert Pattinson would win this set, but he came as a close second to Emile Hirsch. Ladies can’t seem to get enough of the Into the Wild actor.

“There’s something so sexy about him,” says Brittany, 22, from New York. “He seems kind of dark, mysterious, and a little bit bohemian. I also like that he’s not as over-exposed.”
