Advertising executive Donald Draper epitomises the sexiness of the 60s as he smoulders the screen in his dapper suits. The chain-smoking, heavy drinking executive is a womaniser with a million inner demons, a shady past and an impoverished childhood but that only adds to his personality and makes him irresistible to the ladies. The ad executive is extremely talented at charming people around him and was actually voted the most influential man in the world ahead of real world figures in 2009 by Ask Men.

Hot Qualities: Drop dead handsome looks, suave personality and extreme intelligence

Sherlock Holmes

When BBC decided to do a drama on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle s legendary character, we really didn t know what to expect, having seen Robert Downey Jr. do an amazing portrayal of the detective in the Guy Ritchie films but then Benedict Cumberbatch happened. The thespian really took Sherlock to a new level, bringing him to the 21^st century audience, many of whom will have never read the books. Sherlock in 21^st century London is a narcissistic and arrogant individual who knows he is far more intelligent than all other human beings. The high functioning sociopath also appears to be largely asexual and displays absolutely no interest in the opposite sex, which makes him even hotter. Like Irene Adler comments in the episode A Scandal in Belgravia brainy is the new sexy .

Charlie Harper

Two and a Half Men is just not the same without Charlie Sheen s portrayal of Charlie Harper (or as we can call it Charlie Sheen playing Charlie Sheen).

Dr Gregory House

There s something about arrogant men that really makes them hot and House is as arrogant as they come. The character has been described as a narcissistic, cynic and misanthrope whose unorthodox diagnostic approaches often save people but pisses off his colleagues. Like most other narcissists, he has a complete disregard for authority and all these characteristics combine to create a Sherlock-character that women absolutely love (if they like their men to be intelligent).
