The Top 99 is an annual list compiled by the readers and staff, ranking the famous females deemed to be the year's most alluring. In casting their votes, readers are asked to look beyond sex appeal and beauty to pick women who have the characteristics they value in a potential companion, like intelligence, humor, charisma, and ambition. |
Since the first edition launched in 2001, more than 40 million readers have checked out AskMen.com's Top 99 Most Desirable Women lists - as have countless international media outlets. 2006's list drew a million readers on its launch day alone, and a total of 15 million over the course of the year. |
