The 100 Most Handsome Men Of 2018 Ranked By ‘The Independent Critics’
TC Candler and The Independent Critics claim they have been ranking the most beautiful facial features in the world since 1990. Recently, they gave the internet their most handsome men list for 2018.
According to their website, “The Independent Critics are a diverse group, led by TC Candler, who search far and wide, listening to the many millions of suggestions submitted by the public over the past couple of decades, and they then put together a list representative of the modern ideal of worldwide beauty.” It’s hard to find more information about them. For all that we know, they might be a super secret association of the world’s most famous beauty industry moguls or… a teenage girl on her iPhone.
The group says that they “search far and wide, listening to the many millions of suggestions submitted by the public over the past couple of decades, and they then put together a list representative of the modern ideal of worldwide beauty. Aesthetic perfection is only one of the criteria. Grace, elegance, originality, daring, passion, class, poise, joy, promise, hope… they are all embodied in a beautiful face.”
Remember, the organizers are making their Top 100 lists based on submissions and suggestions by the public. Meaning, those of the sexiest men who have the biggest followings and most publicity (popularity) are more likely to end up ranked. However, TC Candler and The Independent Critics say that the contest is not about popularity, and is meant to broaden the public opinion instead of reflecting it. These two claims are at least a bit contradicting to one another.
Regardless, their YouTube video of The 100 Most Handsome Faces of 2018 has accumulated over 2.5M views in just a few days, showing that beauty standards are still very relevant. Scroll down to check out the list full of famous athletes, k-pop stars and everyone in between, and tell us what you think of the choices for hottest men in the comments.
A new list of 2025 is here!

I feel the same way because if they supposedly are, they’re super wrong

I am guessing that you are saying 'ew' based on what the comment bellow has already corrected you on, but regardless of that, Felix is a really attractive man and the list isn't a 'fact' list applying to all so maybe be more civil in your comments.

No. 2 is very handsome and not feminine at all. I like the fact that they try to bring more diversity into the list but there will always be disagreement and that's ok.

People are making a big deal about k-pop idols on a list like that. Funny. Just let it be, duh. (Although, personally, I think Korean actors are generally more handsome than k-pop stars because their styles are more various.)

Amazing amount of racism against Asians being exhibited in the comment section, at least this list shows there’s more than one type of masculine beauty

Because the kpop guys are rather high, this list seems clearly based on a small group of fanatics. Also I personally find Jensen Ackles incredibly handsome but basically the only people who know him are Supernatural fans

That's not true. Yeah there is someone who don't know kpop bands for example BTS and because of that he thinks that they are not so popular. But you know what? They are popular. BTS won Billboard music award 2017 and 2018 for the best artistist of the year. They won against Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, ...

Interesting that people are complaining about the inclusion of Asian men. In a similar list of women I doubt there would be anyone upset.

No. There are a ton of Korean & other Asian stars that should be on this list than bts boys!

No more prejudice against Asians. Anymore. I'm going to say I'm Asian and proud of it, okay? Go on and hate on me, you racists. I don't care.

I'm Asian and I'm proud of it too, and I don't think anyone is being prejudice/racist against us. No one is saying we ALL are ugly, or that we're not as attractive as other races. We're just commenting how it's incredibly odd for kpop idols to be so high and so many on this list of 100 most attractive men. There are so many more Asian men I thought should have been on here than BTS.
