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.

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.

One token black guy. No middle easterner or south Asian. This list is garbage
The only one that is accurate is Jason Momoa. Leo at 100!?!? Who the hell was drunk enough to put him last!? No no no
Did anyone notice the sub under DiCaprio’s name also says “bear food”? 😂😂😂
Plus Kit Harrington "actor/kneebender" and David Beckham "spice connoisseur", lol

The order is messed up. Shawn Mendes is hotter than Chris Evans, Henry Cavill and Chris Hemsworth, to name only three?
Shawn Mendes is 6th on the list, the smaller the number the hotter the guy

What do you have against Asians. And why do I see people talking against BTS, their in this list because they're handsome and not cause of their popularity. Any of BTS did surgery. THEY'RE FREAKING NATURALLY HANDSOME OK?
Ok I’m sorry. But pewdiepie beat CAPTIAN AMERICA?! Also we’re missing Benedict Cumberbatch.
These faces range from the extremes of very masculine, to overtly feminine with nothing in between. I find them interesting to look at, handsome? Eh. Give me a face with time well-spent and character in full display and then I will see a handsome man.
I would like a formally written statement in MLA format as to why HENRY CAVILL is #36 while pewdiepie is #4. BUT KUDOS for Jason Mamoa!
These lists are BS. Who sits there and judges people like this? They certainly don't speak for me.
They speak for themselves. It's all opinion, and opinions are like noses: everyone has one and they all smell. ;) Whoever you think it hot, they're hot.

I personally think that the list should be evaluated according to their heart not their looks ~ a 11- year old
I have a very distinct feeling the demographic asked is girls ages 13-25 and I dont think "Handsome" was the only criteria. Some of these guys are the most plane looking motherfakkers Ive ever seen, not saying theyre ugly or anything but to pretend you cant find 100 guys better looking? Common. First of all they need to change the name of this list to "Most handsome guys who are popular right now and has enough cash and fame to be of any interest" Second, they need to not ask women under 20 (atleast)... they would find Quasimodo to be the hottest guy alive is he sang in the right band... no matter how f*****g auto tuned.
No she's not. They do. It's not racism. On a masculine list, an effeminate boy with heavy makeup on (regardless of nationality) is not going to looked at as a proper choice what would be described as masculine. Now if they were being judged by kpop standards then that would be a different story. You need to calm down.
And you really think non of these models and actors are slammed in the face with 10 kilos of make up and then a lot of photoshop? Its not about how "masculine" these people are. Its about how attractive, and a lot of people who voted found the not so masculine type to be attractive. It may not be your type, but about 80% of the guys on this list arent my type. Do I then say that no one can find them attractive because I dont think they are...

There are some fine looking men on this list and then there's about 20 pretty little boys.

just to let you know I LOVE THE BTS AND I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK OF ME! THE BTS SHOULD BE ON HEAR AND THEY SHOULD BE ON THE LIST BECAUSE THEY ARE F*****G HANDSOME! I JUST WISH THAT MY BIAS J-HOPE AKA JUNG HO SEOK IS ON HEAR! Also captain america is on the list!
It seems there's missing someone!! Holy s**t!! where the hell is Tom Cruise ??
I think its wrong because Kim Seokjin should have a better position atleast in the top 20s.He deserves it with his face super gorgeous...
Just why is Jason Momoa no.1?!?!?! In my opinion I think Jungkook should be no.1 and V could've been no.2. Honestly in my opinion, Jason Momoa isn't handsome in my opinion no matter how much I look at it.
I never said he was racist, hilarious how you knew that's what I meant. It's almost like

Love how Pewdiepie is number 4 maybe Poppy Gloria was the researcher behind it, with 80 million followers he commands more influence than every European country except for Germany.
They need to change the name of this list to cuz handsome is quite obviously *NOT* the only criteria here (not even the prime criteria in several cases) a good handful of these people are the most bland, generic, ANYWHERE outside Hollywood *boring* looking maddafakkers Ive ever seen. Im not saying they're ugly or anything, they just look like the stunt double to 16 other plain utterly forgetrable guys I went to college with, if looks is what counts here and they belong on this list there would be nothing but dopplegnlangers on the entire list... Pretending you cant find 100 guys on the planet prettier than these people is laughable. So...first rename this list to, I dunno... "top 100 guys women age 13-25 would bang" or something. And/or dont let girls under 20 vote... theyd put a flaming sack of dog s**t on the first spot if someone claimed it sang in One Direction (or whatever s****y recycled c**p band is popular these days) At least the guy who won I can understand why he won.
You do know that most people who were fan of one direction are now older then 20 right? We didnt get stuck as our 16 year old selves...

So to be handsome you have to be very masculine and have a beard and show your body of at every chance you get?

Henry Cavill is lower than these flowerboys with a ton of plastic surgery and ten layers of make up?
Please do proper research. Cause non of those "flowerboys" actually have had surgery. Some kpop idols have, but the ones on the list havent. Its not just an asian thing to get plastic surgery, most of hollywood has had something done. So statisticaly a lot of these other men have had surgery. And most of the guys of this list are wearing 10 layers of make up and have had a lot of photoshop done.
Load More Replies... Ahhh...Look at 47 - Jin, 5 - V and 2 - Jungkook I love them. No Homo. Btw they look gay af
Why, because they dont have a beard and dont have their shirt of? I know a lot of gay guys who look as masculine as jason mamoa. Does that mean he is gay, or they are not gay? What are you trying to say

What's up with th "guys" that look like chics? If that's what girls are into these days then more power to them. I don't think it's wrong in any way at all. I'm just not into it. They are going by what females like these days. I'm more into The Vampire Diaries men & The Originals men. Also Dean on Supernatural. Guys with short hair and stubble.
They look less feminine in other pictures. But beauty standards are different all around the world. Maybe these girls are not actually looking at how they look, but more at their personalities (or the ones they show to the public)
