Ha! What year was this poll taken? 1998? The poll was conducted by Men's Health and is SUPER BORING and dated. Here are the results:
10. Angelina Jolie
9. Jane Fonda (in the '60s)
8. Pamela Anderson
7. Bettie Page
6. Ursula Andress ('60s Bond girl)
5. Madonna
4. Britney Spears
3. Marilyn Monroe
2. Raquel Welch
1. Jennifer Aniston
First off, whoever voted for these is like a million years old. I mean, half the women on this list are either dead or pushing 70. The only ones I agree with are Bettie Page and Raquel Welch. Also, it doesn't surprise me that a men's health magazine or readers of a men's health would choose Jennifer "I could give Michelle Obama competition in the arms department" Aniston. She has a body type that is generally referred to as "athletic" and I refer to as "kinda dull and lacking in curves." As for sex appeal, talent and all the rest, I lost interest in Jennifer Aniston around 2003. She was funny on Friends, showed potential as an actor in Office Space, The Good Girl and Friends With Money and then she...just kind of stuck around. She's like Jennifer Lopez, continuing to make work that is bad to forgettable and not really living up to her talent or promise of her early career.
Otherwise, this list has a major lack of Christina Hendricks, Scarlett Johannsson, Jennifer Connelly and any woman under the age of 40 besides Britney. Oh, and another thing about this list? IT IS ALL WHITE WOMEN. Where is Halle Berry? Thandie Newton? Rihanna? Sofia Vergara? Salma Hayek? Penelope Cruz? Frieda Pinto? Overall it's a boring list for boring old white guys.

ouch CG, I'm a firm believer that the best insults have truth to them. People describe me as athletic and yes I am lacking in curves, that doesn't make me lacking in fun though. Mostly I like your answers, but the Christina Hendricks obsession thing really is a bit repetitive. She has a pretty face but from the chin down she looks like a cartoon character, you are the CG though...each to his own but I dont need a bra with NASA engineering.
Sorry, I didn't mean to say I find athletic body types boring. I mean I find Jennifer Aniston's body boring. And everything about Jennifer Aniston actually.
Um, so if Christina Hendricks looks like a cartoon, then there are HELL of a lot of women walking around looking like cartoons. CH may seem to be overly blessed in the breasts department, but her body shape is actually more common than you think.
Also, CG's obsession may seem a bit repetitive b/c, oh I don't know... HE'S OBSESSED W/ HER. If you don't like reading about the types of women he's attracted to, stop reading posts where he's talking about women & their level of attractiveness.

Does anyone under 40 read Men's Health? Agreeing with poster that Jennifer Aniston shouldn't be on the All Time list. Missing from this list is Elizabeth Taylor and Farrah Fawcett.
The obsession with Christina Hendricks only irks me for one reason... guys always say they think she's super hot, but they're all dating sticks. What gives?
Has it ever occured to you that maybe, just maybe, guys can like both curvy and stick-thin women? Maybe, just MAYBE there's more to a woman than her dress size or the size of her rack? Slim women can be beautiful, and so can bigger women. There are so many other factors (personality, brain power, face, scent, just to name a few) that go into a person's attractiveness.
Just because a guy thinks one or two curvier celebs are hot doesn't mean he's going to go out and only date bigger women (or vice versa).
Well, I realize this, but I'm saying that in my experience, they don't walk the walk, for the most part. They say they like bigger women, but they don't actually date them, ever. I don't think it's because all bigger women have awful personalities or anything like that, do you?
I wouldn't kick her out of bed.
The thing that I always find sooooooooo amusing about these lists is that they always consist of celebrities, as if only famous people can be humanity's sexiest examples.
I have come across people, men and women, ordinary people, doing ordinary jobs, who were as attractive, and in my opinion, a few of them even more attractive, as any celebrity.
God, I remember this Ukrainian waitress, wow, she was and still among the most beautiful women I ever came across; tall, a perfect body, enough Mongol blood to give her a taste of exoticness, while still keeping mostly euro feautures. She blew away any female celebrity I have seen so far. And she was just an ordinary waitress, who got hit on all the time, as just about every man who saw her went gaga, myself included.
There is nothing hot about sleeping with someone else’ husband. They can stick to the top nine, thank you.
Ha! Are you talking about Angelina? Or Marilyn Monroe?
Also...am I the only one who noticed that Men's Health list is all white women? It's 2011. That is a serious misstep in my opinion. How did Beyonce not even crack the top 10?
The men over 40 that I know only watch sports - I don't know why - when they are not working or doing family stuff. They couldn't name 5 female celebrities, let alone hot ones. Most not clued in to what's current now... If they have ever seen Halle, they would remember her name. Beyonce is on the radio, mostly.
This is a problem with American women! By thinking in terms of the great "skinny vs. curvy" debate, we continue to reduce ourselves and each other to nothing more than a body type! There is so much more to us than just the shape of our bums, or the size of our waists, or the color of our skin, and when we objectify each other, we send men the message that it's okay to objectify us.
The bottom line is, physically, there is no one body type that will make all men go gaga, because like most things in life, sexual attraction is completely subjective. Some men go nuts for Jennifer Aniston's athletic figure. Others find her boring and androgynous. Some men lust after Kim Kardashian's curvy frame. Others think she's a fatass. And there are also plenty of guys who find both of these body types/neither of them attractive.
So if you spend your life searching for "the truth" about what men prefer, and trying to make yourself fit into that mold, you're just setting yourself up for disappointment. Better to just focus on being the best you can be and loving yourself for it.
PS- I am happy to report that I scanned the comments for Megan Fox mentions and found zero. Everybody deserves a pat on the back for that!
WOahhh there.
I think Jennifer rocks the whole "down to earth surfer sun-kissed vibe" amazingly well, even in her 40's! She looks great for her age!
However, yea Beyonce probably should have her beat for this list (but it is a poll after all and polls are dependent on their sample). But I think Jennifer is still pretty bangin'. I can only hope to keep my athletic and trim build when I am her age ;-)
How is Kate Winslet not on the list?!
THANK YOU! Kate is my girl and she needs to be on that list.
F Men's Health, I'm making my own list.
Being a woman of color the first thing I noticed was that fact that all the women listed are white. Really, really?? It's 2011 come on? Men's Health's voting population has to be really skewed. I'm 23 and guy's that I know are very open minded and don't see color. Cause really, I wouldn't kick Sofia Vergara out of my bed and I'm straight.
Also it is possible and otherwise understood that men can view woman as other than physical beings meant to fulfill some of their(men) basic needs. So her body type doesn't really matter, tall, skiny, fat, short, curvy, athletic whatever you want to call it. So let's put down our torches and pitchforks toward each other. Instead we need to love our bodies and celebrate all body types.
They didn't include Adele, and they added the whore (Angelina), so for me the list has no credibility.
I agree with CG that the list is dated. They might as well included Marisa Tomei and Sarah Michelle Gellar. Also how is Jennifer Aniston hotter than Charlize Theron?
@Selena you've got to be kidding me. Adele? Seriously? She is definitely a good singer but sexiest? oh HALE NO. I read in one interview that she don't give a fuck on her health, she doesn't care about excercise as she's "NOT A MODEL" so she'll leave her (fat) body as is. It kinda sad cos what message is she bringing out to her fans?! Plus she smokes a lot. No wonder she's been cancelling her tour dates cos she's always sick.
You're so ignorant, I don't even know where to begin. Adele quit smoking, fyi. She's a singer not a nutritionist. If her fans are looking to her as their health role model then they're idiots. Also, have you even SEEN any RECENT pictures of her? I'm guessing no because she actually has lost a ton of weight since the start of her career. But that is irrelevant because she is beautiful regardless. I suppose you're one of those shallow people who is all omg fat can't be sexy! Stupid.
LOL, I totally agree with CG, I don't think it's too harsh he's just being honest and he hit the nail right on the head
