Perhaps they just don&#8217;t know what sexy is.<\/p>\n<p>I have nothing against Adam Levine. (As a matter of fact, back when I was doing my television show, <em>Karen&#8217;s Restaurant Revue<\/em>, I got a message from one of his relatives telling me that the whole family was fans of my show, so of course I&#8217;d like every member of <em>that<\/em> clan!) But there&#8217;s no way he&#8217;s sexy.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/itsnotaboutme.tv\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/adam-levine-222.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-12813\" alt=\"adam-levine-222\" src=\"http:\/\/itsnotaboutme.tv\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/adam-levine-222-300x190.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"190\" srcset=\"https:\/\/itsnotaboutme.tv\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/adam-levine-222-300x190.jpg 300w, https:\/\/itsnotaboutme.tv\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/adam-levine-222.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>These are the things about him that make him <em>not<\/em> sexy in my opinion: he&#8217;s skinny, has a little head and a gross beard, his tattoos are disgusting, (I know that many females think that tattoos are sexy, but I believe they are in the minority, or creepy themselves, and either way, Adam has <em>way<\/em> too many of them,) he speech is a tad slurred and strange, and he has a high-ish Mickey Mouse speaking voice. And I&#8217;m sorry to say this, but I don&#8217;t even think he&#8217;s that talented musically! (He&#8217;s <em>talented,<\/em> but not as much as many others, and his music just doesn&#8217;t do anything for me.)<\/p>\n<p>And the boy cannot dress. It&#8217;s just creepy to continuously go on national TV in basic T-shirts, which usually look a little grungy, to boot.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, he&#8217;s been popular for the last several years for being a mentor on <em>The Voice<\/em>, and having some witty repartee with colleague Blake Shelton, but it&#8217;s usually <em>Blake<\/em> with the clever quips, which make him much sexier than Adam. <em>He&#8217;d<\/em> be a better candidate for the Sexiest Man title!<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of which, just rolling out of bed this morning, I thought of a lot sexier man, just off the top of my head. (I&#8217;m using the term \u201csexi<em>er<\/em>,\u201d but really, to me, Adam Levine isn&#8217;t sexy at all, so <em>any<\/em> man who&#8217;s even a little bit sexy is, by definition, sexy-<em>er<\/em>.) Yes, musicians are often thought of as sexy, and some are, but on the whole, athletes, dancers, and actors are way sexier.<\/p>\n<p>And often intelligent men and comedians are even sexier than those. And don&#8217;t forget about kind ones. A combination of a well-groomed man, who&#8217;s witty and intelligent and in shape, with no tattoos, is what I like best. For me, throw in a small earring and a bracelet, and that combo can&#8217;t be beat. (On a personal note, I just realized that two sentences ago, that&#8217;s the description of Mr. X, but he eschews all jewelry except for a watch. But his sexiness doesn&#8217;t need the adornment, so I&#8217;m okay with that. But, I swear, it wasn&#8217;t even thinking about him when I was writing this; I just noticed that description after I wrote it.)<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s my short list of candidates that are occurring to me as I write this:<\/p>\n<p>Maksim Chmerkovskiy<\/p>\n<p>Derek Hough<\/p>\n<p>Simon Baker<\/p>\n<p>Hugh Jackman<\/p>\n<p>David Beckham<\/p>\n<p>Derek Jeter<\/p>\n<p>Chris Hemsworth<\/p>\n<p>Alex O&#8217;Loughlin<\/p>\n<p>Blair Underwood<\/p>\n<p>Ryan Gosling<\/p>\n<p>Tom Brady<\/p>\n<p>Blake Shelton<\/p>\n<p>Viggo Mortensen<\/p>\n<p>Peter Tchernyshev<\/p>\n<p>John Zimmerman<\/p>\n<p>Jimmy Fallon<\/p>\n<p>James Franco<\/p>\n<p>Adam Lambert<\/p>\n<p>Robert Redford<\/p>\n<p>Paul McCartney<\/p>\n<p>Nick Lachey<\/p>\n<p>Pat Riley<\/p>\n<p>And that&#8217;s just off the top of my head this morning! If I was sitting in a room for months, with a committee, I could come up with even more, of course.<\/p>\n<p>When I was running hip-hop clubs a dozen years ago, at least a quarter of the regular guys around town who showed-up were sexier than Adam Levine!<\/p>\n<p>People Magazine&#8217;s choice this year brought to mind a line that Cathy Moriarty&#8217;s character delivered in the film <em>Raging Bull<\/em>, one which Mr. X and I quote all the time. Robert DeNiro, as her husband, boxer Jake LaMotta, was in a jealous rage over something nice she had said about one of his opponents. As he was threatening her over it, she said of the guy, \u201cI&#8217;m not saying good-looking, I&#8217;m saying popular.\u201d And that&#8217;s what <em>I<\/em> say about the choice of Adam Levine as Sexiest Man Alive; he&#8217;s not sexy, he&#8217;s just popular.<\/p>\n<p>What do <em>you<\/em> think of the choice?
