The Sports Blog Nation A Community of the Best Sports Bloggers on the Web

This topic is open to all kinds of interpretations.  There isn’t going to be a right or wrong answer.  For my purposes, I’m limiting the discussion to actors.  I’m going to distinguish between three types:

Tough Guy

Ladies Man

Man’s Man

There are plenty of tough guys like Lee Marvin, Charles Bronson, Chuck Norris, Steven Segal, Sylvester Stallone.

There are plenty of ladies men, pretty boys like Robert Redford, Roger Moore, Pierce Brosnan, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise.

But there aren’t a lot of men’s men.  This is a short list.  My definition of a man’s man is a tough guy who chicks really, really dig.  Here’s my list.  It's been modified and will continue to be modified by comments and suggestions below:
