WAY OT: Best Male Life
Been managing a lengthy debate at work over the concept of "Best Male Life."
The question: Who, among the world's male species, is leading a life worthy of the MOST envy? Of course, the debate is an inexact science, so I've quantified it down to the following criteria:
- Fame
- Riches
- Attractiveness
- Attention from women
- Best at what they do
- Pop culture relevance
Tom Brady has been leading the office debate for some time now; scoring high across all of the above measurements. He's hard to argue with. Tiger Woods' fall from grace knocked him out of contention, as this is purely a list of CURRENT contenders -- although you could argue Tiger still merits a place at the table. George Clooney/Brad Pitt merit some consideration, although they both lose points on age, and I'm not sure either are the best at what they do. One person in my office demands Dave Grohl's consideration. He's an interesting consideration. While scoring low on attractiveness, ya gotta figure the guy leads a Top-10 life.
Me, I have lobbied for Prince Harry. Dude looks like he's having the time of his life. He's got the money, looks, and access to everything he wants -- with NONE of the responsibility. Prince Harry is my number 1 going into 2015.
On this week before SB, I'd be curious of your thoughts on this utterly moronic, unwinnable debate.

I saw him in an airport once. Totally not a disappointment. Looked exactly as he does on screen and in print. Very glossy hair.

Dan Bilzerian. Ends debate.
January 26th, 2015 at 12:19 PM ^
Came here to post this. Listen to his Howard Stern interview and tell me the answer to this question is not him.

My father has had three heart attacks and he's 82. I figured the third one would do him in, but it was 2 years ago and the guy is still going. Maybe he'll be the first person to live forever.

Some random douchebag living off a trust fund from his fraud father? There are thousands of these types. This one is just a big enough loser who seeks fame by going on Stern and putting his life on Instagram. Most of these trust fund kids at least have the common sense to live it up in privacy which their money buys. I think Bilzerian is actually now regretting the image he has tried to cultivate about himself.
Good timing for this. GQ just published an article on the truth about Bilzerian: http://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/comment/articles/2015-01/26/the-truth-about-dan-bilzerian

Money and all the things that come with it, drowning in pussy, and although he's had two heart attacks he is quite a muscular dude so on the outside he's on point. This isn't about being the best person.

It's not like I have a choice in the matter, so I just approach life with an enthusiasm unknown to Muttley's street.

January 26th, 2015 at 12:09 PM ^
is not a positive IMO. I'd rather have a ton of $ and be completely unknown to the majority of the public. Living under a microscope would suck.
Also,

Too funny!

Closer to Muttley's home, my daughter took gymnastics, and everyone just adored the coach. I would sit and watch and wonder at how the young girls would just delight in his presence. He was built like a tank, and I imagine the ladies fawned over him given his magnetic personality and good looks.
My daughter was heartbroken when he committed suicide. Everyone around him was dumbfounded. It made no sense.
January 26th, 2015 at 4:05 PM ^
was a girls gymnastics coach? Who knew!
/RIP funny man

Derek Jeter does pretty well on those criteria. He was smart enough to hold off on getting married, too.
I mean, from Wikipedia:
He had a well-publicized relationship with singer Mariah Carey from 1997 to 1998. Jeter has also dated former Miss Universe Lara Dutta, singer Joy Enriquez, television personality Vanessa Minnillo, and the actresses Jordana Brewster, Jessica Biel, Minka Kelly, and Hannah Davis.

Does Cristiano Ronaldo count? All guys hate him cuz they're jealous and all girls love him. I don't think you can Google a model on the planet without Cristiano Ronaldo popping up right next to her name.
He's the top soccer player in the world currently (albeit he tussles with Messi for the top spot quite frequently)

Your criteria are ridiculous. A humble person who leads a moral life and sacrifices wealth and fame for the benefit of others is far more desrerving of admiration than someone who, in your words, has "access to everything he wants with none of the responsibility."
That's may opinion, anyway.
January 26th, 2015 at 12:13 PM ^
So... Brady Hoke?
January 26th, 2015 at 12:18 PM ^
Well played. Though, in my defense, Hoke is actually doing pretty well by the original criteria.

Darn. I guess I'm not as exciting as "US Weekly for Dudes" or whatever it is that keeps you up.
January 26th, 2015 at 12:40 PM ^
Sorry, had to post it.
Yeah, it's a subjective ranking and criteria, but so be it. For the sake of argument, Brady seems like a pretty humble guy all things considered; I'm guessing most of us would be raving ego maniacs if we had a supermodel wife, millions of dollars, an extremely successful career that takes on mythic portions if you think about it, good looks, a great second and third life ahead, etc.
January 26th, 2015 at 1:04 PM ^
Ha, that's pretty funny.
I understand where the OP is coming from and I'm not trying to ruin anybody's fun. It's just that when I try to think of candidates for a "best male life" or something like that, I come up with names like Nelson Mandela (RIP) or John Paul Stevens--people who have done things of great significance for which they will be long remembered.
Tom Brady is a fucking boss though, I must admit.
January 26th, 2015 at 2:24 PM ^
This is absolutely asinine. If a man doesn't want power, money, and women then he simply doesn't produce enough of the correct hormones that make a man a man. These are the things that all men want but some realize that they'll never reach such a point so they brainwash themselves into this self righteous idea of what a person should be. Go pick up something heavy three times a week and get back to us.
January 26th, 2015 at 3:09 PM ^
I can't believe how many pussies on here think women should be treated with respect and dignity instead of as objects to be possessed by a real man.
January 26th, 2015 at 12:12 PM ^
So he "could" do well for himself.
January 26th, 2015 at 12:12 PM ^
Yeah, it's gotta be Harbaugh. Otherwise, everyone would be answering, "who's got it better than us," differently.
January 26th, 2015 at 12:12 PM ^
Tom Hanks is pretty awesome.

Along those lines, Jimmy Fallon has a pretty good life as well. Hilarious, talented and meets all kinds of famous folks, and gets to dump water on top of them and other such shenanigans.
January 26th, 2015 at 8:44 PM ^
CM has some serious, uncontrollable addiction issues.

Not a great musician, but tells good stories, travels the world, performs in front of millions and has a good time doing it.
