Start your summer off right by pillaging some booty in the Manhunt Treasure Chest Contest! We’re giving away a chestful of Manhunt prizes, including t-shirts, jockstraps, towels, DVDs, and Unlimited Membership on Manhunt!
How do you WIN the Manhunt Treasure Chest, you ask? By having the hottest body! We want to see what you’ll be showing off on the beach this summer. Go to our Manhunt Treasure Chest site before Friday, June 10, fill out the submission form, upload a pic of yourself shirtless, and submit! We will choose the hottest bodies, and have our members/followers vote for the winner!
We want to see what you’re working with this summer, and you could win a whole slew of prizes. Enter now!
Wow, another contest based on looks and judged by others, how enlightened.
WoW!!! What a great all-inclusive con….oops, I mean “exclusive contest!!
Good for you manhunt!
agreed with both above. Nice to reinforce the stereotypes of body dysmorphia and vanity that hits so many gay men.
Someone should submit a photoshoped picture of a whale in a jockstrap and see if it wins ! LOL
This is disgusting! I think I am going to cancel my Manhunt membership if this is the kind of stereotypical BS that they are trying to push on people. Shameful!
not fair either , only for americans
and yes , yes lets continue the stereotype that all gay men are completely obsessed with their bodies
good job manhunt!! you really are an inspiration
Are we really in 2011? This is absolutely shameful.
Wow…Why..The stupidity manhunt is bringing out nowadays is ridiculous…..Nicely done
Ontop of the fact that its not open to people who dont waste away their days in a gym
theres this
OFFICIAL CONTEST RULES
1. Eligibility and Entry Instructions
CONTEST OPEN ONLY TO LEGAL RESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WHO ARE EIGHTEEN YEARS (18) OF AGE OR OLDER
SHAME ON MANHUNT !!!
Wow! I have A Great Body As It is, But this contest sucks. I will not be submitting my picture and on behalf of Manhunt my apologies for anyone who found this pretty offensive like myself.
Three cheers! YAH, YAH, YAH for people willing to stand up and show what hypocrites they are. Like you guys won’t be drooling and wanking off to the photos. This isn’t exactly a site dedicated to nerdy, flabby, self-righteous right-wing christian preachers. I think you guys are really looking for the Billy Graham site. Google for it, find the link, go there, and be happy….
typical manhunt swimmer’s build lol
Guess who won’t be renewing his membership – THIS guy
So it’s a contest I can’t win because of how I look? This is new. Maybe try this again, but allow everyone to be eligible like all the rest of your contests.
I do agree with all of the other guys it does enforce the stereotype of having always a hot bod, it doesn’t make it fair for all of the members, yeah true having a hot body is good, but no all of the guys have one so why just make a contest for a selected few? and is not fair that only the U.S can participate, people from other countries also pay a mebership they should have the same right to participate.Not a well structured contest.
Hmm, hypocrites(?),
Well, I can be a nerd, I try not to be flabby (5’8″,140) and, I detest vain profilers that claim to be VGL/HOT/STUDS, ETC. (my profile headline reads: “Show me how intelligent you are”).
And, no I won’t be “drooling and wanking off” to any photos (I get enough of the real thing and I have a healthy imagination;-)
But, please don’t bring religion into this (my profile says “no religious freaks” 😉
Nevertheless, I wish the best to everyone (except maybe people like Billy Graham, lol ;-)~
I agree with Andrew and everyone else on here. This contest limits the number of people can join all based on looks. How disappointing. Why should I bother subscribing to and paying for a site when I can’t participate in the contests for members?
if your going to have this contest at least make it availible to eveyone who pays for this fucking site and sends their money straight across the border. I dont think that this contest perpetuates any stereotypes; it merely showcases guys who take care of their bodies. The last time I checked heath is something to be celebrated. Is this not what this site is about? Fucking hot men and appreciating the male anotomy. You know there are worse gay stereotypes we could be bitching about.
I don’t mind the fact that they have prizes for their “hot body” contest. But they should also offer prizes for coming up with the best “caption” each week, and maybe prizes for the best written profiles!
I agree with wrestlesex that more things on this site, such as the caption this contest, should have prizes that reward brains over bodies…
This won’t be a contest I enter, and to be perfectly honest it won’t be one I follow either.
Hey kool1 – last time I checked Manhunt was nothing about “guys who take care of their bodies.” It is a site to hunt for men, hence, the name MANHUNT. And if you look through the profiles, you will see just about every type of guy out there.
RE: to it not being available to anyone outside of the US, and people complaining about that..
This has to do more with gambling and contesting laws than any sort of discriminatory effort on the part of Manhunt. Every country has different regulations on how a contest must be and can be run.. and sometimes those regulations differ from state to state.
About the nature of the contest.. is anyone really surprised that this is the route it went? Honestly?
This is so bias and wrong. So if you arent in shape, under 25 or have a 12 inch dick you arent qualified enough to win a free prize. Just amy look elsewhere if Manhunt is hating on men that dont fit GQ magazine coverboy status!
Huge thumbs down to this summer giveaway
I don’t get it. Everyone is always drooling over the guys in all the blog categories. And I’d have to say that it appears the majority of comments are pretty hard on the models if they’re not exceptional and nearly perfect. Yes, there are times when the minority stand up for some of the more “regular” looking models. Everyone seems to want to look at all the hotties but now all this bitching about not being able to enter the contest. Do you all need this trunk of junk that badly?
This is disgusting.
WOW…Manhunt…way too piss off your clients. And many of those who pay for this site. I first thought ” great maybe I can enter this” but nope..sorry not built to qualify. Gee I feel so much better about myself.
Thanks for making us feel not worthy!!
I won’t be submitting pics. I am not some young twink or muscle head. I get enough negative comments in real life for just being out and gay. Don’t need to read any one here.
so so shallow.
all agree with above copmments.
we are not all porn stars, and models.
this kind of thing just enforces the stereotype of unnatural looking guys who are unobtainable in real life…..
come up with a better competition than cocks and bodies…..
We “know” that the models are good looking…thats what they are paid for. But I agree with everyones comments…MANHUNT should think of better ways to give gifts and prizes…how about randomly handing things out. I asked for a few MANHUNT towls to use as giveaways for the Org that I belong to…and got NO response from them. So no I know Im a bigger guy and I know I wont win nor will I follow this contest. Very biased indeed.
I agree that this contest gets a BIG thumbs down. Since I tend to vote with my feet, I just cancelled by unlimited membership.
what does dewitt look like…. can he himself win this shit..
or just a drooler who got a shop drooling?
so all you betches complaining are going to the beach checking out the fatties and dudes with hunchbacks right!? shut the eff up! hot bodies belong on the beach whereas anybody not hot belongs in a baby pool in their respective backyards where small children won’t see them and thing its ok to look that way…
the haters like Multipleman001 miss the whole point. No one is complaining about posting pics of good looking men with bodies that obviously take a lot of dedicated time at the gym – not to mention a good airbrushing. What they’re complaining about is Manhunt taking their hard-earned money for “membership” and giving nothing in return other than the opportunity to look at pictures of “the pretty people” whom MH as determined is eligible to “win” their “treasure”.
And, yes, I’m waiting to see a pic of Dewitt, too….
I have to agree. Hopefully they just chose poor wording. But I doubt that’s the case. This just alienates about half their customers. At least half!

Hey guys, thanks for the feedback. We feature professional models on here a lot, and many of you HAVE asked for us to show you guys that were more “real.” We attempt to do that in our weekly Woof Alert feature, where we spotlight guys that might be hairier than usual, or not as muscular, etc. But if you notice, a lot of the time the Woof Alert receives criticism that the dude we use isn’t hot enough, is “fat,” etc. It’s hard to please everyone all the time.
A totally unscientific study of 5 million Manhunt profiles says that a HUGE percentage include a chest pic, so we know that there are plenty of you out there who like to show it off. And voting posts like The Ten, Who Would You Rather, iPhone Wars, Fuck, Marry, Block, and Guy Vs. Guy (on our Facebook page) are some of our most popular features here. So we figured we would have a friendly competition.
For those of you who aren’t into this kind of contest, there are plenty of other ways to win Manhunt swag and other prizes here on the Daily, out at the dozens of summer events we’ll be hosting all over the country, and on Manhunt.net. In fact, we’ve saved some of the biggest prizes for our Log On to Take Off contest next Wednesday, where all you’ve got to do is be online – with or without a shirt.

@Worldnic3 – e-mail me at daily@manhunt .net and let us know the particulars of your organization and we can get you some swag.
@Jacwac – I wrote that post. And FYI? Dewitt is ADORABLE in real life. 🙂

First, thank you for responding to what has appeared to become something of a scandal.
Second, I always hear about Manhunt events after the fact, where are they listed?
@dee427e090910145aea0b309fa923fcd:disqus – we usually list those on our Facebook page wall. http://www.facebook.com/manhunt
We also list events on our Events tab here – http://www.facebook.com/manhunt?sk=events
My thanks too for the response, JH. It must be FUN dealing with all the drama generated on here. But I guess that’s just part of the gig. Realistically, nobody can keep everybody happy all the time. Except for me and my partner, of course. Sorry, honey. As a gay man who loves men, and loves to shoot them, I can certainly appreciate the beauty of a nearly perfect man (IF he has some personality to go with the good looks. If not, pass…). But I also love to photograph real, normal men and to capture the beauty of what I see through my eyes. One of my favorite things is to photograph a normal, really nice looking man (who is caught up in comparing himself to the ‘perfection” out there and therefore looks down at himself). I LOVE it when, after the shoot, he sees the pics, and then says something like “Whoa, I’d do me”!
awww, hell to the naw. Look, just because someone isn’t the ideal weight or body type doesn’t give guys who probably have more brains than they do balls, none by the way, to treat them like shit. AND NEWSFLASH YOU LITTLE BITCH, it IS ok to look that way. It may not be healthy, but it’s the responsibility of the person in question to do something about, not others. So quit showing just how much of a rude and shallow sore on the ass of humanity you are, and get some humility. I doubt you’re all that, and even if you are you ruin it by opening that dicksucker.
give them the right* ugh…..not good to type when you’re pissed off at some queeny little ho
Thanks J Harvey…sent you email…good to know my membership dollars are not going to waste.. 🙂
Dear J. Harvey,
Nice to read your response, but I think you kinda missed the point that majority were making here. Sure, go ahead and run your contest. Best chest? Best ass? Best cock? Best whatever. But your call entrants segregated 90% of your members from entering.
Have a Best whatever contest open to anyone who wants to enter. Period.
Or break it up into Best Chest, and have categories: Muscle, Older, Bears, twinks, Chubs, whatever. That way, you have a contest that everyone can enter. Gaydar does it. I think Manhunt can do it as well.
Look how many write ups you got on this, most being neg. Then look at the last blog on the voting on the top 10 there were 3 write ups on that blog this week. Manhunt something to think about isn’t it.
congrats!
you succeeded in stirring up a shit storm!
now now people..manhunt is just vocalizing what some of gay society does now except in private. discrimination against gays who are older or who are uglier than the standard norm.
I mean some of us may not be the chosen pretty boys of gay society and it’s good that there are websites that allow us to really understand that. Don’t hate the pretty boys with big muscles and bronzed tans….they were born with great genes and they are our saviors…?
