The Top 43 Sexiest U.S. Presidents
Hail to the chief.
It's President's Day and just like every year, lists ranking the efficacy, intelligence, and popularity of the forty-three U.S. Presidents abound. Here at Hooksexup, we put together our own list, celebrating the most important presidential characteristic: sex appeal.
43.) Richard Nixon
Certainly the least sexy person connected in any way to Deep Throat, Richard Nixon is irredeemable. The receding brow, the virulent racism, the opposition to everything sexy about the '60s. This man gives the lie to the idea that power is always sexy.
42.) William Howard Taft
There's not much to say about Taft, except that out of all the presidents, he definitely bore the strongest resemblance to Garfield the cat. He ended the Progressive Era and later became Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, but we're guessing the only thing you know about him is that he once got stuck in the White House bathtub.
41.) Warren G. Harding
He had a face like putty and a dour look only a banker could love. Also, his name was Warren. Unsexy.
40.) Benjamin Harrison
He was chubby, old, and undistinguished. Very few have ever fantasized about Benjamin Harrison, possibly because most people have forgotten he existed.
39.) Grover Cleveland
Cleveland was the only man to serve two non-consecutive terms, thereby screwing up the numbering system — thanks for that, buddy. He was also very ugly.
38.) John Quincy Adams
Quincy Adams looks like an angrier, skinner, balder version of his father (no prize himself).
37.) John Adams
He gave us most of the legal principles we value dearly, but he did not do New England proud in the looks department, with a face that wouldn't be out of place at a Belushi family reunion. (And actually, there's a reason Paul Giamatti got cast in his biopic.)
36.) William Henry Harrison
He had a big nose, a bad comb-over, and luckily for him, the Darwin Awards were still over a century away from their inception: after refusing to wear an overcoat while giving his Inaugural Address, he caught pneumonia, and died a month into his term. FAIL.
35.) Herbert Hoover
The puckered old-man face is a turn-off, but causing the Great Depression is worse.
34.) Millard Fillmore
He's ugly, he knows it, and he doesn't care. (Which, actually, is kind of sexy... but still.)
33.) James Buchanan
A giant, white-haired baby.
32.) Rutherford B. Hayes
Rutherford B. Hayes botched Reconstruction, to the lasting detriment of African-Americans. He also had a stupid beard.
31.) James Madison
Sure, he's the father of the Constitution, but he was only five-foot-four.
30.) Calvin Coolidge
The strong, silent type... in an off-putting, "please don't make my skin into a lampshade" kind of way.
29.) William McKinley
McKinley's huge forehead and stern demeanor remind us of a high-school principal, and while some people out there harbor leftover teacher-student fantasies, we're not among them.
28.) Chester A. Arthur
Arthur was not a very attractive man, but he rocked some outrageous muttonchops. (Here, let's take a closer look.) Confidence is sexy, and it definitely takes confidence to look like that.
Commentarium (331 Comments)
Right on with TR at number one.
who is tr
You like him?
richard nixion is serious !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
George W. Bush is actually related to Franklin Pierce through his mother, who's maiden name is Pierce, which is kind of funny.
never knew that
Arthur should be higher; very classy dresser. And while I agree Harding was ugly, he was considered handsome in his time; part of the reason he was nominated was to appeal to women, since they'd just gotten the vote.
Obama has to be #1.
Obama is shit. Wake up.
George W. Anus delivered Obama
i hate obama. hes a piece of shit
i know right he sucks
obama is a one term president.
The fact that conservatives fear him is half his sex appeal.
I love you Salvatore.
A lot of hateful people here. Good god.
i love obama.
TR number one is great. FDR would be number one if not for the polio.
FDR is number one on my list, polio and all.
This is the most hype Franklin Pierce has ever received. His family thanks you Hooksexup!!
e7CMm9 Honestly, not bad news!...
You're related too?
Everyone knows New Hamshiremen are hot. Pierce no exception. But Bush Jr. and Reagan in the top 10? I call liberal apologist fucktard bullshit.
Nice call for Teddy Roosevelt. And I say that as a descendent of two of the least sexy presidents (to whom I fortunately bear no resemblance), John Adams and John Q.
Pierce went to college with Hawthorne and Longfellow, at Bowdoin.
which means A) He played hockey. B) He liked beer. C) He could read to you(in bed).
The answer is D) All of the above.
what? played Hockey, liked beer and read to people in bed? I am becoming more fond of this president...
A giant white-haired baby was laugh out loud funny.
Teddy! A fine president and a fine lay. He was also the youngest president elected to office. Danka.
nope, he was the youngest man to hold the office, but was not elected his first term, JFK was youngest ever elected
very smart and funny
@TwL:Not trying to be a prick, but technically that's not true. At 42, TR was the youngest to take office after McKinley was assasinated. At 43, JFK was the youngest elected to office. Still a great pick though!
When I saw the title of this post, the first President I thought of was Teddy Roosevelt and Ulysses S Grant. Needless to say, SO disappointed to see Ulysses make top 10 as I think he was a stud (https://media-2.web.britannica.com/eb-media/24/70724-004-4CB8AA9B.jpg), but I'm definitely loving the TR love.
P.S. I'm still laughing about the giant white haired baby!
43? There's 43 sexy presidents? Really?! Jeez, i must be a f'n 10! ... believe me i'm no ten. There's nothing remotely about 90% of these men that exude sex. This is one of the worst "articles" i have ever skimmed through. Eww.
Teddy was a racist, and a blatant imperialist.
READ SOME FUCKING HOWARD ZINN YOU ASSHOLE
Manners, NJ. If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all
So true. Be Respectful.
I'm related to Herbert Hoover. Sigh.
Interesting picks. You didn't consider weatlth as a factor.
this list is false.
The rankings are off, because for many of the Presidents you are relying on only a single official portrait, which might or might not accurately reflect one's sex appeal. But also, you cut Reagan a break because you refer to how he looked when he was younger, but you don't do the same for any other, when in fact most of them probably did look much better in their younger days.
...for instance, the portrait of Buchanan here is far more dashing than you give him credit for: https://store.encore-editions.com/gift/PPPP16.html
JFK should have been number 1.
Please both Carter and Ford are better looking than TR.Ford even got work as a male model in his younger days. My top five would be JFK,Obama,Ford,Carter and Jefferson
This was an excellent read. I am home alone and couldn't help but lol!
B hosk michigan. loved teddy, barack, and oh yeah bill clinton
Teddy Roosevelt was the youngest to become president. John F. Kennedy was the youngest elected president.
FDR beats TR, even with polio--in Jean Edward Smith's bio, he quotes one socialite calling FDR the "most desirable" man she ever met. Pure animal magnetism. But I have to put Jefferson at #1--everyone loves a weird sexy literary type.
Mmmm, Woodrow Wilson. In my book, you're always number 1
Dear lord! I thought I was the only one! He is absolutely the sexiest president. He can show me his Fourteen Points any day of the week.
Barack Obama is #1. Or at least 2nd after Teddy Roosevelt.
What's wrong with you? Obama is a scumbag; he isn't even close to being ANYWHERE near the same league as our presidents.
This is about physical attractiveness, not how they will rank historically, which history will tell that tale. I'm sorry you are so filled with hate.
"The same league as OUR presidents"??? What country are you from? Oh, is it just that you're upset for being fat, white, ugly, and balding? LOL..Oh, and I'm sure you stink with the stinch of bologna. I see why you're so full of hate.
Of course he feels that way
Liberals (oh forgive me they want to be call progressive now) are blowing gaskets over Reagan and Bush in the top 10. Huge ears,skinny and the innate ability to read a teleprompter is sexy how?
The teleprompter thing is so lame seriously. You are just jealous b/c Bush really sucked at it
Dear Hooksexup editors, I appreciate The Huffington Post and the breath of its perspective however, Hooksexup has now defined my line of appreciation; this article lacks substance, correct grammar and any appreciable ability to write. And after reading the comments, Hooksexup lacks also a credible audience.
I think you meant breadth.
JFK SHOULDA BEEN # 1 :] but great choice for Theodore Roosevelt..he's rugged.
Dear "P" above me:
Your comment "lacks substance, correct grammar and any appreciable ability to write."
Maybe some editing of your own would knock your ass off that pedestal you've elevated yourself to.
With love,
A Credible Audience Member
Agree with the previos comment.
previous
Dear AHT, thank you, you are an excellent example.
Yes p, this article DOES lack the ability to write; articles do not write, they are written. When you find a periodical for which the articles write themselves, please alert us.
P, you are not the sexiest commentor, but certainly the most bitter. But back to the list - loved it. I think you were generous with Lincoln though
I totally see why Teddy is number 1. :D Hot.
I have to say...this has got to be the stupid'est list ever created. Kudo's for your ingenuity! Simply put: what is "hot" today will be "not" tomorrow. Once upon a time, heavy women were all the rage. Now, not so much.
So, you're gonna rate centuries' old dead-guy's on their "sex-appeal...??" Must be a really slow day over there at Hooksexup!
--ThornsofTristan
I think it's just so cool to be talking about fmr presidents in any context. When I watch things like "jaywalking" (jay leno) I am left to wonder if there is any intelligent life in these united states! lighten up "P" there are worse things to talk about!
i think they should put the presidents naked on the wed site and then them having sex on youtube that would be funny they should do that
Barack Obama sexy ? WTF. The guy looks like that cartoon character - what's his name " Curious George ! " As a matter of fact so did Dubya ! LOL !
I object to Herbert Hoover being so far down in the list. First off it is simplistic to blame him for a global economic catastrophe, and second, when he was young he was as hot as any President! In that painting he's like 85! Give him a break!
James Buchanan never married and lived with his male secretary while President. Hmmm????
Obama is totally hot
What you mean is, he's totally shit.
[Teddy! A fine president and a fine lay. He was also the youngest president elected to office. Danka.]
TR was not the youngest President ever elected. He was the youngest man ever to become President (through assassination). JFK was the youngest man every elected President.
Until reading this, I never once in my life had "Richard Nixon" and "sex" together in the same thought. Thanks for nothing. Ugh.
My grandma hooked up with Harry Truman (very early on) -- she said he was "fresh." Obviously way before Bess. Thanks for this entertaining list...agree with the rankings and I'll have to check up on that hottie Franklin Pierce. And Polk, who had definite potential. Yowsa!
the ultra conservitive Harry Truman are you kidding me? get the fuck out of here!
Your choice for number seven-George W. Bush is ridiculous. Arrogance in your own absurdity is never sexy. He isn't eye candy either.
Obama #2? Surely this ugly man with the evil eyes of hell should not be on any list other than the list of enemies of America and mankind.
UR paranoid
Buchanan was gay. And Jefferson was not that sexy when he was president. I'd switch him and Clinton.
Obama should be #1 and Chester A. Arthur # 2. Most WOMEN would agree with the pick for #1 except for the racist ass holes. Men aren't qualified to vote. That includes gay men, most of whom refer to each other as, "She" thereby negating their judgment and credibility.
Wake up and use your brains. Obama is scum and the country will be better off when the White House is white again.
America is a sick country. This man accomplished more in 2 years (Of GOOD things I might add) than many have accomplished in 8. I guess you can't get beyond your racism to realize how awesome our president is.
and btw. He's IS white (as well as black), so we DO have a white president as well as a black president. melanin solely affects the likeliness of whether you are going to get a sunburn and nothing else other than that.
"W" doesn't look anything like his father. He's acually looks EXACTLY like his mother. Line up pics of Babs, "W" and Jenna, and it looks like a very successful triple cloning.
Obama is the sexiest and should be #1.
Take your head out of his black ass and wake up. He has no business even being in the White House except for uninformed young idiots who unfortunately have the right to vote before they can think straight, and are easily swayed by smooth talk.
Uniformed? You have a serious problem, Steve. Why don't you actually educate yourself instead of sticking to Fox news. You need to get beyond skin color
Re Franklin Pierce, my mother is also a Pierce, but tracing her ancestry I found
that Franklin had no descendants who lived into adolescence. How come Barbara is
so cool? Has anyone asked her?
ptf
If I were a women notrhing would urge me to turn my head except when BC is arround....
From the GripeVibew.... & Donag..//
#17 is pretty high for LBJ....he doesn't belong in the top 30
you have let your own personal opinions dictate you choices I disagree with most of them. for obama being third you are way off his mouth is to big and his ears make him look like dumbo getting ready to fly and his face is too skinny and I don't want to see him without his shirt.
Who put this list together? Was there a group of people? TR #1? Please. He was short, stout, and asthmatic. Richard Nixon at #43 is silly. GWB is not as attractive as his father was. Jerry Ford is behind a whole bunch of uglies. It really is a lousy list and as a woman, I can tell you that it is just plain wrong.
Gerald Ford was a Male Model and was on the cover of COSMO!!
Calvin Coolidge was considered an extremely attractive man while he was in office.
What the hell is the criteria? At first i thought it was just looking at their presidential portrait and nothing else, then all these things about their achievements come into the comments but unfortunately the comments reveal this author doesn't know crap about real American history. They seem to know even less about the presidents who aren't 20th century or later.
Franklin Pierce gets that high on the list as an ALCOHOLIC who drank himself out of the oval office? Yet Nixon gets all of his foibles held against him.
It seems the author didn't even bother to learn about the presidents.

Two of your bottom five fathered illegitimate children. So they couldn't have been all that unsexy.
Nobody got more a$$ than Warren G. Harding. His sex life made Bill Clinton look like a choirboy. Obviously a few women found him attractive.
Are some of these comments for real? lighten up...its all in fun. You are reading it off a website for "love, sex, culture". Being sexy is more than just looks anyway. Besides everyone has different opinions on what is attractive. And yes, Obama is sexy, ears and all!
Obama looks like a black Alfred E. Newman. What me worry.
Blll Clinton, always my #1
I thought I'd see Obama and Kennedy as numbers 1 and 2. I saved that picture of him with his shirt off. And I still have it! ;)
Instead of being a black-ass kisser, use your brain and see what a mess the country is in and stop fantasizing about that scumbag.
I'm sorry that you have a serious problem with anyone admitting that they are attracted to chocolate. Black is beautiful. I'm sorry you are so racist.
To h, 8th down from top - Anyone born in Massachusettes has been in some way a decendent of John and John Quincy Adams. And Sam Adams! ;)
Move Grant up. Not a drunk (common misperception), the guy Kicked Robert E. Lee's ass and saved the Union...gotta count for something!!!
The Mr. Cool Obama photo with the sunglasses and the black suit.....sigh.
You're another idiot that has been swayed by a big dumb grin and fast talk.
Steve, get your racist ass off this site
JFK should have been number one
https://newsy1.wordpress.com
Right on with TR, he was one our great Renaissance Men, a fighter, peacemaker, author, outdoorsman, conservationist, a great speaker and inspiration for modern men. Yeah, he had his flaws, but he pretty much created the national parks and was once shot on the way to a speech... and went on to give the speech and finish out the event, before finally going to the hospital hours later.
Aw...cmon, it's just contrariarism not to put JFK in number one. He makes me feel a little gay.
I guess tastes change. My American text book in high school referred to Warren G. Harding as "one of the handsomest men of his generation." His playboy good looks seem to be the one of the only positive things to say about his regrettable term in office.
On the other hand, maybe some people's looks actually IMPROVE with in the light of history. In his own lifetime, Abraham Lincoln was considered a singularly ugly man. Every few years modern scientist and medical researchers publish some new theory to explain this face only a mother could love. Based largely on analysis of surviving photographs, his facial features have been used as evidence for a whole catalog of medical disorders, from Marfans to cranial facial microsomia.
Barack Obama is so hot!
Total babe with personality and intelligence.
President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama are the sweetest couple around.
They're 2 pieces of shit that have no business in the White House. They're only there because idiots like you were swayed by fast talk and big shit-eating grins.
You really like obama don't you. Otherwise you would have no problem with people actually admitting we have a intelligent black man as president. Well get use to it. We are all people and the only race that exist is the human race. Learn some genealogy and don't be upset if you have an African ancestor
Why did you guys use such a goofy photo of President Obama?
Because he really is that goofy. Wake up.
Um... Where's James Monroe?
idk
why this photo of Obama? You want to make him as if he is not a President.
He should never have been president except for idiots like you who voted for someone with less than 100 days experience in ANY public office. People are too easily fooled by smooth talk.
You get so upset anytime anyone suggest anything about obama. Get use to it. he's your president.
what are you friggin smokin, this list in this order is a look back at LSD...!
Andrew Jackson was responsible for sending the Cherokee on the Trail of Tears. If not 43rd, that should land him at 42nd.
James Monroe is #15
You clearly don't know about the "Warren Harding Error"
OBAMA is not a valid prez!
He's just as valid as any of the presidents.
Obama is soooooo sexy, he is definately the hottest we've had.
But poor choice in photos.
Another idiot heard from. People who are brainless should not be allowed to vote.
Doesn't it was the reaso people voted for himn
Obama is def #1.
Presidents have been uncute except Obana and JFK. Dubya was cute before he was prez and aged.
What is wrong with you? Black is ugly no matter how you dress them.
Steve. Get use to it. Obama is your president, whether you like it or not.
just talked w/ a colleague who met johnson in the 60's and found him to be very sexy. also, there's something about william henry harrison that should bring him up to the top ten...
What on earth do you consider sexy. Looks, personality, intelligence, power, wealth.
I need to be able to look at the man during and after for sexy to be considered. So Bush II is out. The man is just stupid in the way he thinks and acts. Bush I is a nerd - so he is out too.
JFK definitely has the looks, the personality, the intelligence, the power and the wealth. So I would put him 1st.
Obama can go second - maybe not the power and the wealth, but definitely the next best looking and one of the smartest up there - and a smile to die for.
Good thing this isn't "sexiest person on currency" cuz Andrew Jackson begins and ends that list. Crazysexycool, and a sawbuck to boot. Awwwwww, yeeeeaaahhhhhh, muthufucka.
Typical liberal BS got nothing better to do. Had to be created by ether a woman or gay man that needs to get laid. Really Now get a life!
This could have been created by a conservative you know. WTF is with dismissing everything you hate with liberalism (which what's wrong with that? Since the founding fathers were "liberals" in their day)?
The reason Obama's picture looks different than the rest is not a secret move to devalue him in our eyes. I'm pretty sure it's just because he hasn't been president long enough to have his official portrait painted. Although, there likely is a sexier photo of the man out there....
I agree. There could have been a better picture
Teddy Roosevelt was a sickly asthmatic who created all the macho stuff as an image. He was a marketer. Read a little history.
I'm excitedly waiting for the hottest first ladies list!
Eddie from Austin
Teddy well deserves the top spot! The man killed a grizzly bear and who knows about that "big stick" he's so famous for carrying!
I'm as liberal as the day is long, but I totally wouldn't kick W out of bed for eating crackers. Especially young W.
And when Robin Williams played TR is that museum movie, that kind of ruined any sexiness Roosevelt might have exuded.
Fun list though! Made me laugh.
A young Thomas Jefferson. He purportedly had a really big library
George W Bush is by far the Sexiest, Bravest, Sexiest, Bravest, Sexiest, Bravest(sorry my computer is stuck) Sexiest, Bravest, Sexiest, Bravest President in History and going forward. Especially NOW. Obama is not even sexy.He's a wanna be. Obama is so jealous of Bush.
Please maybe you need a glasses. Bush has nothing on Obama. The guy was so boring and tacky. Obama is sexy, charismatic and eloquent. He got it going on.
My favorite part of this list is the comments. THIS IS SATIRE: What's funny about it is that they're judging presidents by something completely unrelated to their performance in office, but isn't this an important factor in how we elect them anyway?
I especially love the people who know WAY too much about presidents who are so outraged.
Finally, TR was no racist. He could have done more, sure, but he was far more liberal than most people of his day on the matter and was the first president to entertain a black man, was in favor of a desegregated army and school system (as governor of New York he desegregated the schools) and was a proponent, it simply wasn't the core of his platform. If Howard Zinn says otherwise, then he is wrong.
George Bush Jr should of been pushed up a little more Barack is one ugly mother fucker he should be next be like 31
Fuck Clint Eastwood: Andrew Jackson was the 50 Cent of the Oval Office. Remember that next time you're rolling with a roll of Jacksons.
Time to lay off the pipe! If you think Obama is a "certifiable genius"....then you're a "certifiable crackhead"!
You don't get into the Harvard Law Review if you are an idiot, so idk what you are talking about.
You should go read John Adam's correspondence with Abigail. He may not be a looker, but that's some sexy letter-writing.
Malcolm Gladwell has an interesting essay about Warren Harding, asserting that he was only elected because of his appearance which at the time was considered very sexy, or at least regally presidential.
oh for christ's sake.
Franklin Pierce is listed in Wikipedia as one of the worst presidents of all time, so it is not surprising he is related to GWB. He was an ineffectual drunk and died of cirrhosis of the liver.
I thought the list was good until Obama. I was SHOCKED. Obama is so goofy looking that I entirely forgot about him. He should be down in the 20's or even thirties. Seriously, compare him to Bush. W was/is so handsome, Obama is a goofball.
Some lament that our country is going to hell. I say we carry on the most important traditions of our founding fathers: https://www.worldbeardchampionships.com/news/beard-team-usa-dominates-200...
Um, aren't there 44 Presidents?????
Was wondering the same?
Grover Cleveland sat two terms as 22.and 24. President, so tecnically there's only been 43.
I'm kind of surprised Gerald Ford rates doesn't rate higher...He was VERY good looking when he was young, like Jack Armstrong All American, and he was quite athletic to boot. Grant was an outstanding equestrian, that should count for something.
On the negative side, both Johnsons. Andrew was proof that an a__h___ does not a president make. Lyndon had that embarrasing first name, and a way of addressing people which was like Vaseline on a camera.
JK.
There are only 43 presidents.
Grover Cleveland was elected to two non-consecutive terms. He was the 22nd and the 24th POTUS.
If you were to count all the people who were in office, just by name, its 43.
If you look at this list, and count, its 44.
https://www.potus.com/
Obama gets me ALL hot & bothered every darn time...OMG OMG *scream* *scream*
#42 looks like he swallowed a bowling ball. JFK, my, what a gorgeous specimen! And Obama is extremely succulent...wish I could bite him. Yum...
JFK should really be #1. My God, he is gorgeous.
Where's Cheney?
Look up Gerald Ford's college photo. That's a sexy winner!
@ NJ: Howard Zinn is a self-acknowledged radical historian. Absorb some variety, asshole.
@MR: "...who knows about that "big stick" that [TR] was famous for carrying."
I think you are joking. I hope you are joking.
"Speak softly and carry a big stick."
@ JK: "Ummmmmm.....aren't there 44 presidents?"
Ummmmm, No. Cleveland served 2 separate terms, which I'm pretty sure was mentioned. 22 and 24 (I think?), with Harrison serving in between.
@Diz: "Where's Cheney?"
I think you, too, are joking. I hope so.
If not, Cheney was VICE President. Not President. They're sort of different.You know...like first and second...
And ditto to the Jefferson-is-a-sexy-nerd notes. Everyone loves a "quiet, literary type."
@ H H: "Men aren't qualified to vote."
That made me laugh as much as - if not more than - any of the comments on the presidential sexiness contenders.
And Obama gains plenty of hottie points for going on the Colbert Report (filming in Iraq) and making fun of his own massive ears. Plus he's a nerd. And I have major nerd love.
Grant was NOT a drunk ... could a drunk have whipped the dashing RE Lee? Grant had the sexiness of a champion & he was nice to blacks and indians. I agree with the rest.
Such hostility, lighten up! I'm pretty sure this was meant as a bit of quasi-holiday fluff, not a serious dissertation on U.S. history.
By the way, over at the Daily Beast they had a list of "best-read presidents," guess who topped that list as well? Coincidence? I don't think so.
https://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2010-02-14/the-best-read-...
George Washington is sexier than we commonly realize. I'm not saying how I know.
I cannot see Obama as"damn sexy"- nor can Michelle be considered sexy by ANY stretch of the imagination! & a certifiable genius? yeah right- he has cheapened the office of president as well as the Noble Peace Prize. WAKE UP people!!
You don't get to be President of the Harvard Law Review if you have made bad to mediocre grades.
Ok, George W could be rated high on this list but #43 on every other list.
Pierce looks like Tommy Lee Jones
i think benjamin harrison is hot. what's he doing so low?
Lincoln is SO #1! Sexy sexy!!
LOL!
I totally came to sexual awareness during the Clinton era. So, Billy C. will always be numero uno for me!
What a list, I'd say Teddy's integrity was sexier than his looks. I don't know about placing him as number one, Oh but wait, didn't he have a big stick?
Jump off the Obama train, mind controlled idiots. Liberals must die.
my gawd just how gay can a survey be. what a waste of resources. as you can see i am unemployed rofl
Obama is the only president unrelated to all the others
Must be his skin color I guess?
Obama is the only president unrelated to all the others
Actually not true, kndl:
https://rawstory.com/news/2007/FOX_Obama_related_to_Bush_Cheney_1017.html
what about ben franklin, wasnt he a ladies man?
Franklin was never a president. He was a founding father like Washington, Adams and Jefferson, but not a president.
@jrf - Ben Franklin was never president.
Obama should have definitely been number 1. Not only is he sexier than all those others but he's also more ethnic. I mean look at the man, he's hot. Then JFK should have been #2. I could care less about all the other ones.
No way is obama #3 ... his sheer stupidity, inexperience, and lack of any common sense makes him the ugliest!
Go watch Fox News. He's hot.
What would the lack of common sense be.
right on. great #1 pic. Those eyes..... I'd have a helluva time figuring out a reason not to go home with that one.
JFK should be number one. Hahaha x]
TR was a man's man who can attract the women with that appeal. He had 5 or 6 kids as well.
TR lost his first wife in childbirth and was haunted by his love for her the rest of his life. Writing his autobiography thirty years later, he still couldn't manage to plumb the wells to express much about her -- it was too painful.
His second wife was a dear friend for childhood. It may not have had the same romantic implications as the first, but there was a tremendous amount of a different, equally healthy kind of love.
That's sexy.
I think the Bush Jr unibrow has to at least be acknowledged, if not bump him down a few places.
I spent forever trying to figure out who you missed, then i read that grover cleveland served twice, non consecutively, messing up everything.
Obama's purple lips vs. G.W. Bush's southern charm.
Hmmm... I think I know how these rankings were really based on.
I wasn't charmed with Bush.
what... not how
fuck yeah! Teedie definitely deserved # 1. ROUGH RIDERS!!!
Bold move not putting JFK at the top the way you did. Bonus points for finding a not terribly sexy picture of Obama, that must have taken work. But I really think John Adams should be higher, maybe you should read some of those letters to Abby...hot.
George H W Bush is totally the sexiest one! <3
Didn't TR also completely screw over the entirety of South America? Super unsexy.
FYI -- in #1, it should be "led the way," not "lead."
"undeniable genius" or "damn sexy wife". Can't decide which statement is more bug fuck stupid.
because black people can't be smart or pretty
Sorry--"certifiable". *cough*
obama should be #1!
The author doesn't really know the Presidents. And that comment about Obama being a certifiable genius is hilarious. He'll be a one termer. Same class as Jimmy Carter. Two of the worse Presidents (therefore not sexy) we have had.
Is there any doubt that this list was put together by a leftist?
Always getting their digs in against Republicans. They just cannot help themselves.
Ok, first I will leave politics and 'winger out of this. Next, I guess I do not know sexy. Anyway I say #1 was a good choice!
Lord, I love how conservatives are coming onto this and trying to turn it into legitimate political discourse. Take it for what it is, a comedic piece. I'd say if you want to talk politics, go to a tea party rally where everyone agrees with you. That way you won't be trounced intellectually. If you want to laugh, keep reading stuff on here. Simple, no?
Jimmy Carter should be higher just for pure niceness
chicks dig that sort of thing
Barack Obama is a damn sexy man, with a damn sexy wife,...he's git giant dumbi ears and always looks annoyed. She has an ass bigger than John Candy did. It kind of makes her look like someone stabbed a broom through a beach ball. Obviously you've been drinking.
rofl
Opps, Dumbo ears...I just woke up, sorry.
Surely the writer isn't familar with the famed Warren Hardy closet in the whitehouse. Also Tricky Dick was the only president with a penis for a nose.
This list was great! Wish it'd been a bit longer written to enjoy it more though. Very envious of the author that got paid to look at 43 pictures and rank on sex appeal. I must say there are a few crazy picks though. Harding was actually considered very good looking in his day; in fact that was why he was chosen as nominee, he had that conventionally attractive face despite being rather dull ineffectual and a terrible leader.
Barack definitely deserves a high spot although the past few years have aged him about a decade! When I saw him in that army bomber jacket walking in to that presidental music to give a speech once I was just WOW. Sexy. Nice dresser, great body.
Bill Clinton should be higher! Although he's quite old now looking back on photos of him in his thirties and forties is impressive. Very sexy. Also he's well known to be one of the most charismatic people and quite irresistable in person. I like his choice in women coz I wouldn't feel out of his league if I met him! I'd do him anyday even now he's older
Thank you, it's very admirable article it might be very helpful for students. For example last year when I had a difficult of time at the end of semester with a constant flow of academic assignments and mission, I had a astonishing idea to buy it somewhere and than use plagiarism detection. I was so exhausted that I did not care for what can begin when my academic work was written by flipside person. To my adroitest surprise, research paper was worthy the price I paid for it. I was so satisfied with the quality and now everytime i use this service.
wow,,,,what a liberal biased piece of shit list!
AMEN to Jim's comment.
"Liberal biased piece of shit"? What are you drinking? This is just a fun moment.
Franklin Pierce FTW! You should see Australia's Prime Ministers - eyebrows that take up half their face :D
Someone's letting their politics get in the way of their judgment here.
Take a good look at Harding (41). Yes, he was dumb as a post, and a total tool of the oil companies. So was Bush II, and you rated him 6th.
Harding was a babe magnet, with more mistresses than he had honest cabinet secretaries. He did things in the Oval Office that Clinton could only dream of.
And Cleveland (39) -- well, he's no looker, but he must have had something going on. He famously fathered an illegitimate child as a young man in Buffalo. (Hence the campaign taunt, "Ma, Ma, where's my pa?" and the gleeful retort, "Gone to the White House, ha ha ha!") More to the point, at age 49 he became the first president ever to be married in the White House -- and the woman he married was a 21-year-old college student, the daughter of his former law partner.
So if there are 44 us presidents, who was the one left out? I don't know I'm not from the US
I know it's weird
DUDE! Warren G. was the original gangsta! He should have been in the top 10...just sayin'.
mideel:
1 president served 2 non-consecutive terms, as was mentioned in the article. so 43 men serving 44 terms, not 44 presidents total.
SF really? Do you rally think that only one president ever served 2 terms? There have been 44 unique presidents, not 44 terms.In fact there have been 55 four year terms served by US presidents in history.
You're an idiot. SF is right. We've had 43 unique presidents, regardless of how many terms they've served.
I am sure the writer of this article doesn't know shit about politics. Who the hell looks at a fucking politican and be like "Damn! Now that what I'm talking about!" Maybe since I am a dude, but this article is fucking retarded. www.youtube.com/user/JPalto www.youtube.com/user/JPalto
So sick of reading/hearing/seeing people swoon over Obama. It's disgusting and condescending; like he is not good enough to be able to stand on his two damn feet like a man and take his licks from the media and disgruntled youth like every president before him.
That said, Michelle Obama looks like a Klingon. I'm sorry, but it's the truth, and sometimes it hurts.
Beauty is in the eye of the Beholder, so idk what you are talking about the first lady's physical appearance being bad. That's your opinion. Others disagree.
As for Obama, I would say he just needs to do a batter job in explaining why the bailouts were essential, why the Affordable Care Act does not add to the deficit but rather reduce it greatly and that there are no death panels that are going to kill Grandma. He should have also pointed out that the GOP complained that the bill was 270 pages long, so if they did not read it fully, they have no right to be making up fairy tale stories.
Curtis: Although Obama is the 44th president, it's correct that only 43 men have held the office. Yes, many served multiple terms, but Grover Cleveland was the only one to serve two NON-CONSECUTIVE terms. Hence he is counted as both the 22nd and the 24th president. (Benjamin Harrison was the 23rd.)
coolidge should be alot higher than30 top five at least
3. BU was not likely to meet the US$ 75,000 per defendant threshold for suing in federal court on various other claims under state law (e.g., tortious interference with university-student relationships, fraud, aiding and abetting fraud). Id. at 77.

It CRACKS ME UP that wingnuts automatically interpret any negative comment whatsoever about a Republican as being motivated by a liberal agenda.
Keep drinkin that Kool-Aid, boys; you're right--every Republican anywhere, ever, has been an absolutely perfect human being. And anyone who doesn't understand this is a statist communist socialist fascist leftist.
I know it's ridiculous.
Leftist bias? #1 Teddy Roosevelt was a Rebublican. I'm confused.
They're idiots
It's so funny how people are hatin' on the Obama's
Anyway everyone knows its.
Thomas Jefferson
Barack Obama
John F Kennedy
Bill Clinton
and I hate to say it
George W Bush
even his wife and two daughters were nice lookin
One word: Racism. People may accuse me of playing the race card, but it's true. If you say we will do much better once we get a white man in the WH (despite Obama being half white), you are saying that melanin has everything to do with leadership, and that is ridiculous
JFK should be #1, in my opinion.
I am sick of people being unpatriotic. Obama is your president whether you like it or not. I HATED Bush in office but never once would bad-mouth him. He did run our country and I had to respect him. Grow up and stop being immature and voice your opinion by just voting. THIS is an article about attractiveness. Good day Tea partiers
agreed.
Teddy is NUMBER ONE! WHOO!
But why the hell are some people making this about left vs. right? This ought to be the kind of cross-aisle humor we can all laugh about. Half of these Presidents belonged to political factions that no longer exist, anyway. As a tea-party sympathizer, may I ask my compatriots to chill out? And liberals, please don't paint us with a broad brush?
The real problem in American politics is that we feel compelled to personally hate the opposition based on their political views. It's as bad as any other stereotyping. It hurts when people at my very liberal school physically step away from me at social events once I let my conservative background slip. Republicanophobia.
Ok people - this isn't a list of presidential fuck-ups. Settle down.
JFK is AWESOME (no homo) but being him in black ops puts him in my no 1 list
Warren Harding was known to have had numerous mistresses and was a renown hound dog. Grover Cleveland married in the White House a woman of 21. He was the Bill Clinton of the 19th Century Presidents. It is said that when Woodrow Wilson asked his second wife to marry him, that she was so surprise she fell out of bed. One should read al little history before trying to apply 21st century standards to this kind of list.
Polk: Starts Mexican war, instigates Bloody Kansas. Otherwise unremarkable. Makes top 15.
Jackson: Changes the face of the modern presidency, has the greatest land acquisition of all time, is a lauded general and war hero, generally manly as hell. Doesn't break the top 25.
Poorly done, Hooksexup. Poorly done.
sorry, Weren't they judging them on sexiness, not achievement?
Ah, Teddy. You were damn sexy. Not to mention the fact that the man mapped an entire South American river after he lost his first run for presidency. "Well fuck this shit, let's go to South America!"
JFk 1, Reagan 2, Pierce 3, Jefferson 4, GW Bush 5, Obama 6, clinton 7, TR 8
I thought they were all very humorous but could i just put in a good word for Harry Truman. He had him some spunk and fire and that's gotta make him attractive. Not his fault muttonchops had gone out of fashion. I'll bet he could have rocked them too!
harry truman was notoriously conservative and boring as hell.
It's too bad Alexander Hamilton was never president. He'd be way up there. He was gorgeous (seriously, get out a ten dollar bill ad use a finger to cover up the bad period hair, and you've got one hell of a face looking at you). He was also the father of progressive American economics, to the extent they exist. And, he was killed in a dual... HOT.
Right, I get it, everything good about democrats but those Republicans are only good for ridicule. Your stupid list is just another opportunity to take a shot at anyone with values and morals. Your top picks are conspicuously from the democratic (Communist) party and all the latest ones, i.e. Carter, Clinton, Kennedy and Obama. Well let me tell ya, it ain't sexy to be a socialist, tax and spend, lie like a rug, liberal ASSHOLE!. "that's all I gotta say about that!"
Karl Marx philosophy is so misunderstood due to the misinterpretation of it from Communist countries like China and Cuba and what was formally Soviet Russia. But if you are talking about socialism, I have to ask: What is wrong with Germany, Canada, Britain, Norway, Holland, Sweden?
The last time we downloaded some ringtones ringers at the milliontones.com corporation and used to be completely happy.
Don't understand the way to protect your ideas from fraud? I recommend to utilize plagiarism detector.
Every science essays firm must hire singly qualified writers. all students usually are going to get the best quality college essays and that's normal.
hi people idk
You can ask if it's not a cheating to find essay writing services. I claim that's a common issue to use essay completing companies to get your purpose.
A couple presidents are very underrated here - all Republicans, which is funny, because I'm a Democrat.
1) Chester Arthur. As has been noted, he had good reputation as a clotheshorse. He would have appeared on multiple "GQ" covers if they had it back then.
2). Gerald Ford. Have you ever seen what he looked like when he was young? Strikingly handsome with a strong chin, like Jack Armstrong All American Boy. He lost of a lot of his looks when his hair receeded, though.
3). Ulysses Grant. He was a superb horseman and don't a lot of women find this sexy? As for his drinking problem, you know what Lincoln had to say about that.
America's sexiest president has to be Obama and will be the best too. I know this is killing all the racist out there who hate him but like it or not he is your president. Suck it up or change your citizenship. You stupid idiots.
Way to go Obama. The latest ratings are a true reflection of how well you are doing. Of course apart from Kennedy you are are the hottest president yet. Those who hate you know that you are the man for the time, they just cant admit it.
1
Good choice with Ron Swanson at number 1! Bully!
1
why dont you racist pricks get out of the USA if you have a problem with our BLACK PRESIDENT he is here to stay so you FUPS get used to it or get out the white house was white we still had all these problems no one can please you racist white mother fuckers anyway what do you want !!!
Obama is the best looking president ever..hansdown!...2, kennedy 3, clinton and the rest...
I sure don't know how I came across this ridiculous review of presidential glamor, but the author wears his political proclivities on his, I'm sure, monogrammed sleeve and like most radical, left-wing nuts has no idea of how to even spell history, forget respect it.
Nixon a racist? Hmmm. Does a racist president-type have the following record? In the fall of 1968, 68% of black children in the South were attending all-black schools. By 1974, that number had fallen to 8%. This extraordinary accomplishment was achieved through the shrewd political skills and raw courage of President Nixon, Secretary of Labor George Schultz, and Attorney General John Mitchell. In his book "With Nixon", speechwriter Ray Price outlined Nixon’s school desegregation goals: "Nixon’s aim was to use the minimum coercion necessary to achieve the essential national goal, to encourage local initiative, to respect diversity, and, to the extent possible, to treat the entire nation equally – blacks equally with whites, the South equally with the North." Yeah, sure Nixon was a racist. Do your homework chief and know well the party of racism is the democrats--just look at who supported the 1964 Civil Rights Act and it certainly wasn't your progressive socialist hate America dem libs.
G.W. Bush a terrible president? This president wrote the book on defending America and the world in the face of 21st century terrorism. He left office with unemployment of 7% , a deficit of only $500 billion and during his tenure as president unemployment averaged 5%-5.5%. Not too shabby! Also, no attacks on America under G.W.'s watch after 9/11, which happened 8 months into his presidency due to the typical week-kneed lib policies on protecting America that Slick Willy the rapist embraced. Gee, how many attacks have we had under Barry O??
Your disaster of a president (empty suit) you support taking up space in my WH now would be doing cartwheels up and down Pennsylvania Ave to have G.W.'s record. Barry is smart, is funny, is a genius with a genius wife (have you read her racist thesis? The woman cannot form an intelligible sentence)?? Sure and Barry's record proves that right? Barry's beyond simply being dumb and dense (which he is--again his record), he's also lazy, arrogant and an elitist who has not earned any right whatsoever to be the latter two and can't help being the first (he never really had a job before president, right?). Barry's the great American experiment based on a known failed philosophy. Now we'll have to watch this dolt for the next 30 years after he's thrown out in 11/12 run around defending himself as not the inheritor of the mantle from Jimmy Carter as America's worst president.
But I'm sure you believe my comments are racist, correct? I thought I'd get that out in front before you did since it's always the predictable hate-America lib response anytime anyone attacks Barry since you cannot defend his record. Oh, yeah, I forgot it's all Bush's fault.
Damn, I just lost a contact lens; it's Bush's fault!!
Hear hear!
Haha! Seriously this was hilarious!
This list = revolting and hilarious at the same time.
JFK is the ugliest person ever.
If you tried to edit your academic papers, then you whould know how complicated it can be! Nevertheless, don't lose your confidence because you should rely on the writing help service.
The very easy way to make your facts close to this good topic, the most well known, is to utilize of the article submit service. We trust, this proposition will help you to keep on moving that way!
People can really rely on article submit service, because that is not very hard to take the top free article submission for such really good theme about this good post.
It could be so easily to submit the supreme release referring to this post with support of submit article service, but very oft some people select article submission. Therefore I do not know what should be best of all.
Where's Alexander Hamilton?!
He was never president; he was a founding father, though.
Theodore Roosevelt was in a wheelchair.
Fdr was in the wheelchair. Not teddy.
Lots of specialists say that loan aid people to live the way they want, because they are able to feel free to buy needed goods. Furthermore, various banks offer secured loan for different classes of people.
Contrary to what some of you think you know, a president's actions while in office typically don't directly affect the people until 2-3 years down the road. We are now still caught up in the Bush mess with an 8 year unjust war we couldn't afford, lack of Wall St. regulation and accountability, a corrupt Federal Reserve system, and "Cronyism" at it's worst.
It's ignorant to think a president elected into office can all of sudden lower or curtail unemployment, balance the budget, fix our healthcare, banking system, and turn the country around overnight. From a statistical perspective, at least in the most recent 60 years, Bill Clinton had the best report card of any president hands-down. If you disagree then do the research yourself. Clinton balanced our budget, didn't bother extending the US into an occupation war that would bankrupt the country, and he was and still is admired for bringing in the youth vote which is becoming more and more popular.
So while Obama has alot on his plate IMO he is still conducting damage control from the last Bush administration....remember when we had those "Terror Alert Symbols and Colors"...funny but, Why was that system only used during the election?? Any answers? Because he used it as fear for the American people who felt Kerry wouldn't be "strong" enough to lead our troops....
For some odd reason Americans like the war-mongering posturing president beating his chest and sending fellow American Soldiers and Sailors to die in vain....
Oh, and for all of you sad racist cock-suckers you need to go live in a hole or somewhere in Mississippi. According to our 2010 census Latinos make up nearly 18% of the US population while Blacks make up another 13,5% and they're only growing in numbers.
So why don't you go strap on your guns and go get your white hoods so you can go shoot-up a college campus or something. Or if you really feel brave take it to the White House and just unload and see what happens to you.....that will help you alleviate some of the hate you have as well as get you a great spot next to Sen Strom Thurmond in Hell.
Hahaha just wondering why Clinton is hanging out with Graham Spanier at Penn State
Van Buren hotter than Nixon?
This list displays is a dishonourable blend of politics and aesthetics.
Does anyone else think that Rutherford B. Hayes looks like the old man in the first Home Alone movie?
hi realy
I don't believe about it but only and only little bit of believe this
hotindya.blogspot.com
I think Ronald Regan was really sexy, along with JFK, so I can't agree with Teddy Roosevelt for #1. But I also think Truman and Calvin Coolidge should have been higher, they're not 'sexy' but their definitely cute. (:
I think none of em are sexy
Now you say something
