Secret Sex: Brian Williams

I’ve been celebrating the fourth birthday of my own Tumblr with a month-long competition to see who readers think is the Hottest Man In 2013. The competition has been… interesting, and full of surprises. It started off with 64 men from all walks of life: porn stars, actors, musicians, models, photographers, athletes, and so on, and it’s been progressing daily with head-to-head eliminations.

We started with 64, and now it’s down to three!

Porn god Dirk Caber already qualified for tomorrow’s final, and today’s matchup pairs South African model Devin Paisley facing off against Brian Williams.

Yes, Brian Williams.

In a popularity contest about hotness, Brian Williams, news anchor and father of somebody on that Girls show, has made it into a fifth round of competition.

Who knew?

I guess I sort of get the appeal, in a way. His voice is very soothing. He looks pretty good in a suit. He’s got a sense of humor, slow-jamming the news on Jimmy Fallon and appearing sometimes on SNL and 30 Rock. (His funniest moment, though, was his brief and kind of adorable venture into music coverage.) His smile is charmingly asymmetrical. Handsome, yes. Hot, I’m not so sure.

For me, Hottest Man In 2013 means a guy I’d like to fuck in the parking lot because we can’t wait to drive home. The guy I’d happily bottom for, even if I knew he was married and his wife was on her way to meet him. The guy I’d immediately get at least a semi for when I saw him on TV, even if he was talking about economic collapse or unrest in the Middle East.

I’m honestly not sure that Brian Williams is that guy for me. But maybe I’m in the minority? What do you think?
