Congrats and all to Channing Tatum for winning People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive, but man. All we could talk about this morning here at The Stir was how many other men we think should win instead. How many? Too many to list here, but we narrowed our list of personal favorites down to 18.
So we thought we ought to share. I give you: The Stir's Men We Think Are Sexier Than Channing Tatum. Enjoy.

Who needs abs when you have a cerebral cortex like this. And in case you think I am kidding, I am not. I make my husband read his columns as foreplay. --Anonymous

You can't beat that Ryan Gosling argument... I am officially team Gosling!
I'm definitely team Joe Manganiello! Sookie is such an idiot for not choosing Alcide IMO. Goodness gracious, does that girl not have eyes?!
If I had to pick a second place it would definitely be Henry Cavill. I first saw him in Tristan and Isolde and was so in love! Now, I'm catching up on the Tudors and just can't get enough. Plus, he was Stephenie Meyer's first choice for Edward (and, may I just add, a much better choice that Rob!) but sadly he no longer looked young enough to pull off 17. Le tears.
Channing Tatum is the sexist man alive hands down. I think the right choice was made
Uh, Joe M ALL.THE.WAY. And has anyone seen him in magic mike. Couldn't think straight. And he DID wear a firemans outfit in that movie.
i love channing tatum and he is the best choice
Daniel Craig is so. Freaking. Hot.
As are many of the rest of the list. Nicely done. I do love me some Ryan Gosling, and I also love having a sexy president.
As far as so-funny-he's-red-smokin'-hot goes, give me Jon Stewart any damn day.
Channing Tatum is hot, but there I soooo agree that Ryan Gosling should have won!! Heck, he should win that title EVERY year for that matter.
