Sexiest Man Alive - Patrick Dempsey

[Anonymous]

Maybe when he was in his 40's, but now, really? Nobody sexier?

[Anonymous]

It's time to end this silly title anyhow.

He is so old!

Maybe sexiest grandpa alive? If anything, this proves only old people buy magazines.

All hell would break loose if they put a 57 year old woman on the cover and claimed she was the sexiest woman alive!

I'll be the unpopular opinion and say I'm here for it. Of course, I'm also in the middle of binging Grey's. My best friend worked with him at the Dempsey Center in Maine and said he is just as kind and charming in real life as his character was on the show.

Meaning no disrespect to all the fine people with that title, I've never agreed with that magazine's selection. And the magazine itself it pure trash anyway.

Think about the demographic who reads People. It's not Gen Z or younger Millennials who are now in their years of peak attractiveness and youth. It's Gen X and up. The Sexiest Man Alive will keep getting older, in line with the publication's readers. Eventually, the TSMA will be a senior citizen.

Sad.

It's not like they are going to put T-Chal, Bad Bunny, or Pete Davidson - all of whom are bona fide sex symbols for their generation - on the cover.

I can’t look at Patrick Dempsey without thinking of Senor Pizza from the movie Loverboy.

I had to google Bad Bunny. Not my cup of tea.

I am officially an old now.

Is he even in anything right now?

It's always been this way - most of People's TSMA are 40+, and the women they choose are below 40 (often below 30).

It shows that men's attractiveness tends to improve as they age, but not the same for women. Then look at a middle-aged couple that divorces -- the man will have a lot easier time finding a new partner, assuming he's in shape and not bald, then the woman.

Or at least according to People's editors...

I don't think that's the problem, I think the PP just has bad taste in men. T-Chal? Looks like Cullen. Equally unattractive.
