I have been wondering whether to post this for three days, so deal gently with me.
My local newspaper published an article about a gay magazine that is organizing its annual "Man of the Year" beauty contest. The contest has reached the final 12 and there is talk that the winner will probably not be recognized as such because he is .... str8. In the article this guy explains that when he was 14 his best friend came out to him and in order to support him he started going with him to gay clubs etc, and thus created a friendship with the 'community'.
Another contestant also has a fascinating story: he comes from an ultra-orthodox Jewish background (black hat, long coat, long ear curls etc) and defied his family by deciding to become secular in order to live the kind of gay life he was comfortable with.
Anyway, here is the link to the pix. Each contestant is numbered and if you click on the number a window will open giving you details and two more pix of that contestant. You won't be able to read the blurb because it is in Hebrew, but is that important? If you hit this link Bill Gates will probably ask you whether you want to download the fonts needed for this page: you can (im)politely decline - you are just interested in the pictures, aren't you?
The former ultra-orthodox guy is #2. I won't tell you which one is the str8 one. Why don't you post here which one you would choose. Here is the link: http://pride.nana.co.il/?sid=20

#3 has the nicest smile, looks content. To me th eothers look "forced" somehow, in their poses and smiles.

I have to say 5 or 11, quite a nice toss up...
So, Steve, will you eventually tell us who won, and also which one was the str8 boi?

Okay Steve.......I did my homework.......
The main page is VERY misleading. When you click on their other pictures, you find very different men.
For pure physical beauty #1 but........
smith votes for:
#6 cause he dresses cool in camo shorts and he has good hair.
#8 cause there is another picture of him in there in his bathing suit without that necklace thingie and he is reaaaaaally cute.
#9 cause he has on a neat black flowered shirt and looks like a nice person.
#10 --- I know,I know --- but back in there is a picture of him in a brown jacket and look at those eyes !! forgive him the blue stripe on his head 
Anyway.........For all my research, I vote for #8

Before I pick who I like, I have to agree that #3 has the cutest smile in the world...plus, #4 has quite a body, but...
Say, can I get a drumroll, please? Thank you. 
I'd say 2nd place goes to #7...there's just something irresistible about him! He's got an awesome body, and that picture of him with his eyes looking up...he's just adorable!
But the winner for me is DEFINITELY #11! My gawd, what a face, what a smile! He's got such a scrumptuous body! And that pic of him in the brown shirt...it's sooo sexy! His hair looks awesome no matter how you style it! I can't decide whether I like it better up or down...
And I think #11's probably the str8 one, cause Lord knows how I cling to those str8 boys... 
Whoo, I need a breather after that one! Thanks for posting it, Steve! It was a lot of fun picking my faves!

Number 12. The str8 guy was number 11. Sorry, Tom

...so all things aside, I'm not that disappointed. Someone HAS to fix this problem of me gravitating to the straight ones! I mean, really, out of a group of 15 (it was 15, right?), I pick the ONE straight one! Go figure.
I wonder if a doctor can take care of this problem... "Ya see, doc, I seem to be attracted to the straight guys...you got a prescription for that?"
