After a Decade of Votes, The Top 99 Most Desirable Women of 2011 List Highlights a New Generation of “It” Girls including Natalie Portman, Emma Stone and Anne Hathaway.

02.01.2011– Los Angeles, Calif. (February 1, 2011)— After more than 5 million votes were cast internationally, AskMen’s 10th Annual “Top 99 Most Desirable Women” list today uncovered Gossip Girl actress Blake Lively as this year’s No. 1.

While seasoned list-veterans Gisele Bundchen and Angelina Jolie have made it onto all 10 editions, this year shows an emergence of fresh, new faces. Additionally, a very deserving Beyoncé emerged as “Woman of the Decade” by ranking high on the list an impressive nine times, and even making it to No. 1 in 2007.

This year’s list highlights a new generation of leading women, such as Mila Kunis, Olivia Wilde and Nicki Minaj, in addition to welcoming newcomers like royal icon Kate Middleton, Glee’s Lea Michele and Mad Men’s Jessica Pare.

Actresses best known for their roles on television dominated over their movie star counterparts, with two of the top three spots on the 2011 list claimed by Blake Lively (No. 1) and Modern Family’s Sofia Vergara (No. 3). Mila Kunis, who started on the small screen with That 70’s Show but did not garner critical acclaim until her performance in Black Swan, secured the No. 2 spot. Completing the list for the “Top 99 Most Desirable Women of 2011”:

1. Blake Lively

Los Angeles, Calif. (July 20, 2010) – AskMen and Cosmopolitan.com recently partnered to ask the age-old questions: Is chivalry dead? And are men really from Mars and women from Venus?  As experts in their respective areas, both sites set out to discover the true differences between both genders through AskMen’s third annual The Great Male Survey and for the first time this year, The Great Female survey from Cosmopolitan.com. The survey of more than 100,000 respondents was aimed at uncovering how men and women differ when it comes to dating, sex, lifestyle, and world issues.

Highlights from this year’s Great Male and Great Female surveys include:

• Men and women have different perceptions about romance…
• Nearly 40 percent of women report that their boyfriends or husbands are “not very often”  or “never” romantic, yet 75 percent of men claim that they are romantic consistently.
• More than two times as many men than women would cheat on their partner if they could get away with it.
• Nearly half of men say they’d dump their partner if they became fat. However, only 1 in 5
• women would break up with a boyfriend or husband who gained a lot of weight.

Other finds –

• 1 in 5 men and women indicated that they would track their partner’s movements via a GPS implant if they could.
• One out of three men would completely respect their partner’s privacy online, whereas only 1 in 5 women would do the same.
• 45 percent of women don’t want their partner friending his exes on Facebook, compared with 25 percent of men who feel that it’s okay, though only if he’s met her ex before.
• Seventy-five percent of women say they peek at their ex’s profile occasionally, while 15 percent of women admit that they do it constantly.

Today’s modern man still has a traditional edge:

• More than 85 percent of men still believe in the institution of marriage, with 1 out of 3 men stating that they will not pursue a relationship unless they feel that the woman has wife potential.
• Men ranked “having a family” over a “high-profile career” as the number one status symbol for men.
• Chivalry not dead? Four out of five men believe that they should pay for all dates for the duration of the relationship or at least until it’s established, whereas less than 25 percent of women say that their partner should always pick up the bill.

“At AskMen, we have come to rely on the annual Great Male Survey for the unique perspective it affords into what modern men value and how they think of themselves. By partnering with Cosmopolitan.com, it also provided us an opportunity to better understand the female perspective as it relates to our readers,” comments James Bassil, Editor-in-Chief of AskMen. “This year’s results are especially compelling as they illustrate the definition of modern-day masculinity and how certain male and female views are shifting apart in 2010.”

A less-traditional female perspective:

• More than half of women surveyed say that they don’t feel at all pressured (by family, society, friends, etc.) to get married.
• Only 25 percent of women are completely satisfied with their sex life.  Nearly 30 percent are totally unsatisfied, with 8 percent saying they want more sex.  Another 45 percent are somewhat satisfied but feel that there is room for improvement.
• Eighty-five percent of women are comfortable being in a relationship with a man who has a lower income than they do.

“There always have been differences between women and men, but thanks to changing dynamics and technology, relationships are more complicated than ever,” says Cosmopolitan Editor-in-Chief Kate White. “We were thrilled to work with AskMen on this survey to provide our readers with more understanding about the male mind.  It’s our goal to help readers have fun and satisfying relationships with the opposite sex, and what better way to do that than to do an in-depth investigation of what makes men tick?”

“With the Top 29 Cities, we’ve been able to identify the specific qualities that make a city truly great for men,” comments James Bassil, Editor-in-Chief of AskMen. “Opportunities for professional challenge, a strong sports team to rally around and places to meet single, educated women easily are all factors that the everyday guy appreciates, and played a part in our global ranking.”

AskMen’s formula ranked the best cities for men to live, work and socialize in, based on data like the quality of green spaces, guaranteed vacation days, unemployment rate, culinary scene and ratio of single, educated women.

After more than 6 million votes were cast, Tranformers starlet Megan Fox fell short of securing a top 10 position in AskMen.com�s Top 99 Most Desirable Women 2010 ranking, with low-profile but widely respected Entourage actress Emmanuelle Chriqui claimed the No. 1 position. The Top 99 Most Desirable Women is decided by an annual poll in which AskMen.com readers are asked to consider more than instant sex appeal and cast their ballot for women who embody the traits that they desire most in a potential companion such as intelligence, humor, talent, and character. In 2009�s list, Eva Mendes took the No. 1 spot.

Rounding out the top three for 2010 are Victoria�s Secret model Marisa Miller and British actress Kate Beckinsale, respectively. Readers can also view the full �Top 99 Most Desirable Women� list, including profiles of each honoree, at AskMen.com. The top ten honorees from 2010�s most desirable list, in order, are:

1. Emmanuelle Chriqui
2. Marisa Miller
3. Kate Beckinsale
4. Alessandra Ambrosio
5. Jessica Alba
6. Beyonce
7. Penelope Cruz
8 Cheryl Cole
9. Eva Mendes
10 Miranda Kerr

�Hearing what the Top 99 vote is made of is the biggest compliment of all because it�s not just about being �hot� but about being a well-rounded woman,� says 2010�s No. 1 Most Desirable Woman, Emmanuelle Chriqui. �That�s really empowering and is just a massive compliment to me � people recognize that I care about other things.�

Last year�s No. 1 Most Desirable Woman, Eva Mendes said, �I love AskMen.com and I love that they love me back. Thank you!! Xxx�

�The AskMen.com Top 99 list has been my annual ego boost time, and one that I want to savor while I can. Thank you guys!� comments Access Hollywood�s Maria Menounos.

Emmanuelle Chriqui, who ranked No. 12 on 2009�s list, wiped out previous favorites like Megan Fox, who dropped from No. 2 to No. 11 over the past year. Fox�s plummet from the top 10 ranks may come as a surprise considering that most men�s magazines couldn�t get enough of the actress in 2009. However, her overexposure spawned a backlash that reached beyond her drop on the Top 99; several leading men�s sites teamed up for A Day Without Megan Fox on August 4, 2009.

�It�s refreshing to see a respected but relatively low-profile actress like Emmanuelle top the Top 99, while many of the tabloid regulars didn�t even make it,� comments James Bassil, editor-in-chief of AskMen.com. �To me, this outcome really reflects what is unique about our annual list: that it is a real indicator of the kind of women that men want, rather than simply those ones that we are continuously exposed to.�
