Mobile Votes Contradict People Magazine’s ‘Sexiest’ Claims

New York, NY (PRWEB) November 17, 2010

He may not enjoy the notoriety of past cover boys like Brad Pitt or Johnny Depp. He certainly didn’t have anyone campaigning for him the way two-time winner George Clooney stumped for 2007′s “Sexiest Man” Matt Damon. Nevertheless, People Magazine has officially named Ryan Reynolds this year’s “Sexiest Man Alive.” This may disappoint participants in a mobile poll conducted by SMS leader Predicto.com, whose votes indicate that they are tired of conventionally handsome men laying claim to the dubious crown.

A buff actor, Reynolds is no doubt easy on the eyes, and it’s hard to fault the magazine’s logic when a starlet like Scarlett Johansson got swept off her feet by the guy. Yet after 25 years, isn’t it time People changed up its judging criteria? A look back at the men who have received this honor shows they all have one thing in common: classic movie star good looks. While actors Robert Downey Jr. and Jon Hamm rated among Predicto voters’ choices, the majority polled actually selected “other” when presented a list of traditionally handsome options.

Predicto’s mobile poll result shouldn’t come as such a surprise. Ask women what they are looking for in a man and the top answer is almost always “a great sense of humor.” If that’s the case, why didn’t “Parks and Recreation” star Aziz Ansari or “Community”‘s Joel McHale make the cover? They have audiences howling every week – and a lot of those viewers are of the female persuasion! Simply put, funny is sexy with or without the model good looks to go with it.

Another trait that women find sexy is smarts. Brains before beauty would be a compelling argument to put 26-year old Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg in the “hot” seat. CNN 360 anchor Anderson Cooper could fill that seat as well. Yes, he possesses leading man good looks, but more than that, Cooper exudes intelligence and compassion. He’s even got a Facebook page dedicated to him, titled “Bringing Sexy Back to CNN.”

Let’s not forget about the jocks. Dating back to school days, they have always been synonymous with sexy, yet not one pro athlete has ever scored People’s top honor. What’s hotter — or perhaps cooler — than LeBron James stroking a forty-foot three-pointer? Now that he’s taken his talents to South Beach, the muscled NBA All-Star is likely to flex his desirability that much more.

Of course some may find fault in James’ abandonment of his hometown, Cleveland. Lack of courage a turnoff? Then maybe People should turn to a man in uniform. Army staff sergeant Salvatore Giunta was just awarded the Medal of Honor by President Obama for placing himself in the line of fire to save two comrades. Let’s see Ryan Reynolds do that (without the help of any CGI special effects)!

Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) September 15, 2010

It’s easy to be sexy at the age of 26, but what makes Farrah Gray extra attractive is the stack of accomplishments he has achieved at such a young age.

Gray is already a 20-year veteran of the business world. He began his entrepreneurial, personal and civic development at six years old selling home-made body lotion and his own hand-painted rocks as book-ends door-to-door.

Raised in the impoverished south side of Chicago, Gray defied the odds and became a millionaire by age 14. He was the youngest person to have an office on Wall Street and the youngest to receive an honorary doctorate. Now, at 26, he is an inspiration to millions and an international bestselling author. Grays books, “Reallionaire,” “Get Real Get Rich” and “The Truth Shall Make You Rich,” have been translated into Russian, German, French, Polish, Korean, Indonesian and Vietnamese languages with book sales in Africa, Australia and Europe and in Central and South American countries.

Gray is the CEO of Farrah Gray Publishing (FGP) which is distributed by HCI Books, which published the world famous #1 New York Times, USA Today and Guinness Book of World Records; best-selling Chicken Soup for the Soul series. Chicken Soup for the Soul has sold more than 112 million copies, with titles translated into more than 40 languages and total retail sales of Chicken Soup for the Soul branded merchandise have topped $ 1.3 billion.

Gray has also been named as one of the CNNs African-American First History Makers and as one of the 20 Modern Black History Makers in the 20th anniversary issue of “Upscale” magazine. Chair of the Farrah Gray Foundation and spokesman for the National Coalition for Homeless, as well as the National Bone Marrow Donor Program, he has been invited to the White House eight times with President Clinton, President Bush and most recently, with President Barack Obama.

He has also been featured as one of the Dream Team Financial Experts for O (Oprah Winfrey’s magazine). He is also a syndicated columnist with the National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA) federation of 200 weekly newspapers, which reaches more than 15 million readers. As an AOL Money Coach, Dr. Gray gives advice to millions of AOL subscribers daily on leadership, personal development, diversity, strategic planning, creativity, business development and financial management.

Gray’s books and his journey to succeed against the odds have become required reading and part of classroom study from elementary school to entrepreneurship departments on college and university campuses such as Harvard University and Princeton.
