Perhaps it’s just my need to fuck shit up in the new year, but I’ve beginning to wonder if The Ten has overstayed its welcome on Manhunt Daily. We’ve brought you our weekly quest for the “Sexiest Man of The Moment” for nearly four years now. (Funny enough, the winner of our first round was none other than today’s champion, Ben Cohen.)
The Ten went through a golden age where it remained one of the most popular features on this blog. Over time, it’s popularity began to wane and take a backseat to flashy stories about bottoming debuts and celebrity dicks. I’m guessing that you, like me, have become disenchanted with the monotony of seeing the same faces round after round, as we vote in a contest that consistently leaves us frustrated with the superficial attitudes and sexual racism of the gay community.
But maybe I’m wrong about that! Maybe you enjoy this weekly reminder that people like Kevin Lee, Julian Edelman, Eddie Granger and Rocky are nice to look at, while people like Thierry Pepin, Zachary Crane, Jarec Wentworth, John Magnum and Broderick Hunter are (apparently) less nice to look at.
Whatever the case may be, I’m not going to make any final decisions until I’ve fully absorbed the reactions (or potential lack of reactions) to this introduction. Nope! I’m just going to be a good boy, as I copy and paste the same words I’ve copied and pasted over and over again…
For those of you who are just joining us, here’s how the game works! Each week, we’ll feature ten men to choose from. You can vote for as many contestants as you’d like, and only the five with the highest amount of votes will move on to the next round. The remaining five slots will be filled the following week by men who you’ve suggested, as well as a handful of attractive fellows selected by your favorite bloggers. (That would be us.)
To keep things interesting, each participant will be retired after ten weeks on the charts. They have the opportunity of returning in the future, provided that they produce another hot video, photo shoot or anything worthy of a Manhunt Daily post.
Now let’s forget about the rules for a second and focus on what really matters–who should be on top next week? You have until next Wednesday to pick your favorite contestants, so hop to it and make your vote count!
– Dewitt

______________________________________________________________________
2. KEVIN LEE (LW – 3, W8): Grr, when will we see another movie from this guy?
______________________________________________________________________
3. JULIAN EDELMAN (LW – 8, W2): Looks good from the front, looks good from the back.
______________________________________________________________________
4. EDDIE GRANGER (LW – 2, W5): Boo! After peaking at second place, he falls two spots.

5. ROCKY (LW – 10, W2): Muscle jock Rocky squeezes in, knocking out two previous competitors.
______________________________________________________________________
6. DAN NEAL (DEBUT): He’s from a reality show or something? Looks good naked.
______________________________________________________________________
7. LUKE ADAMS (DEBUT): One of the hottest bottoms of 2014? He might be!
______________________________________________________________________
8. LEVI JACKSON (RETURN): Most of you preferred his cleaner, less fuzzy look, but…
______________________________________________________________________
9. DOUBLE DICK DUDE (DEBUT): Who cares about his face? He has two dicks, damnit!
______________________________________________________________________
10. RADEK (DEBUT): The subject of one of last week’s more popular posts.

Some winners, some losers…just like real life~
Yeah, that might be true but some of the guys that vote here only think of whites guys as being attractive. That is what Dewitt is meaning .People of all races are attractive not just white guys.
Get rid of it. It’s your blog and if it’s waning in popularity and makes you feel bad then there isn’t a good reason to retain it. Your weekly porn summaries are more interesting to me than the 10, which is tired.
I like the poll. Love seeing pics of hot guys that are from all over and not just in porn.
I’m a big believer in quitting while on top, and since this is no longer on top it probably should have died a long time ago. I also like to keep my fantasy that because of who we are and what we’ve been through that gay men are actually more diverse and openminded than others (or at least more than us in Minnesota), a fantasy that the top ten destroys every week. But then who am I kidding. Last week a friend of mine told me that he got so tired of his gay dad talking about blackies he just said, at least they’re not fucking fags. I said, you go, boy.
Love the ten…they’re all winners in my book!
Julian is a beautiful man–but I like Kevin better–geez, just got hard thinking about those 2—a sandwich would be so much fun
Keep the poll. It’s meant to be fun. Sure, some guys get all PC about the results, but so what? Please don’t let that take the enjoyment out of it for you, Dewitt.
This is the only Manhunt Daily post a regularly open.
Ben Cohen is a stunningly beautiful man but let’s face it, he is on top because he is a stunningly beautiful person also. We know a little about his personality and values and that’s what attracts us more to him and why he stays on top.
As for keeping the Ten. This will NEVER be a fair competition. Let’s face it. People will vote and some well deserving individuals will be kicked off and the top five will once again be a homogeneous group of pretty white guys. And contrary to a previous poster it’s not about being PC. It’s more about the realities of these voting competitions.
I come here to look at the hot men, laugh at some of the descriptions and every once in a while ferociously vote for my current crush (Hudson of SC or Ben Cohen!) Aside from those few, I’ve long since stopped caring who makes it to the top 5. So I say throw aside the voting if you have to but let me keep my eye candy!!!
Levi Jackson without a doubt & keep the top ten, it is thoroughly
entertaining and let’s be honest – 8 out of 10 are just heavenly
each time, the other 2 +/- not so much BUT it is subjective after all, no?
We are supposed to entertain the masses or is cloning still preferred?
(Please don’t condone the clone, unless you are making me my own
Levi Jackson for my Birthday surprise…..)
Kill it!! It was a fun game for those who played it at first but it’s tired now and there is no point to it. Thanks.
Even with all the bickering back and forth over the definition of what defines beauty I still very much enjoy 10 and look forward 2 it every week
Keep the poll, it is a good thing to have
Does anyone else think the top three look like they’re from the same gene pool?
Thank you! Levi needs to be waaaay higher on this list!
I’m new here and this is my first time participating…I think it’s fun and light-hearted entertainment. Just show me ten photos and I’ll pick my faves – no PC agenda here!
Keep it please! I look forward to it all week!
You guys do realize that one of the reasons why Dewitt is disheartened by what has happened to the Ten is that he IS one of those “PC” people, right? But on the other hand, I can’t point a finger at white men for picking white guys when the problem is the ranking of hotness in the first place. How is this different from any dumb beauty contest? Here’s the thing, it always starts as fun and like those girls, most of these guys are really pretty. But sooner or later you realize that the ranking of beauty, regardless of gender is pretty fucked up shit. I could have told you this four years ago, that sooner or later this was going to start to get you. And honestly the more diverse you make this list, the more you’re going to be disappointed. Hey I love the eye candy, but maybe you should think of what you’re setting yourself up for.
keep the 10. i really do love it!
Please keep them coming.
Please please please don’t cut the Ten. It’s my favorite column. I love love love to vote on things…is that a fetish I wonder?
