I'm tired of never seeing the kind of men *I* find attractive in advertising. Not to mention as it's not fair to women to have all of these photoshopped women in advertising, it's not fair to men to have this one standard of what an attractive man is supposed to look like in advertising. Everyone talks about women and advertising and self-image, but no one ever talks about men and advertising and their self-images. (MASC Magazine deals with men's issues in a positive light that doesn't put down women or other men. http://www.mascmag.com/ So perhaps they could talk about it. [Or already have?]) As I found the 2nd and 3rd shots the most titillating to me (esp. the 3rd. Very subtle!), I was very happy with the man in the first one... he looks like the kinds of guys that I find in my dating circles. Frankly, he looks like a geek (the long hair and goatee give it away) and I don't mean that in any negative sense. There's nothing wrong with his looks... he's just the kind of guy I find in the circles I hang out in, and those are almost all geeky. And it goes both ways.
