The game is open mainly to gays and straight women, but any straight male (or Lesbian) who wants to contribute a picture is welcome. We are not too stringent about this rule, and nobody is going to ask you to produce the toaster oven and membership card that is given to anyone recruited to gayness.
Quite simply, how many now-dead dudes from history can we come up with who were really quite doable? They have to be guys from history who are now dead. No liveies!
Many of these may surprise you. Have you ever seen a photo of young Joe Stalin? Did you know that FDR and Eleanor (horse teeth lady) produced a blond son who was dripping hot? Ever taken a close look at Alexander Hamilton on the US $10 bill?
I never thought that I would read the words: “…dead bangable dudes” in the same sentence. I will give this some serious thought, and get back to you post haste!
Ludwig II of Bavaria (“Mad King Ludwig”) was considered a handsome man in his youth, although became very overweight in middle age. His hairstyle definitely was not a timeless classic and he’s also the only historic figure I know of who managed to look uncomfortable not just in photos but in oil paintings, but if you can ignore that I’d say he looks like he could be Benedict Cumberbatch’s cuter brother.
It was apparently in style back then. Like I said, it’s not a look that’s withstood the test of time, but the same could be said about some of my past hairstyles.
Thinking of Benedict Cumberbatch, historic homosexuals, and unfortunate hairstyles, I’d say Alan Turing (who Cumberbatch played in The Imitation Game) was a handsome guy if you can overlook what is by modern standards a rather dorky haircut.
I admit they do cover similar ground. But that site seems to have fallen into permanent neglect for more than a year, so I thought I would get the Straight Dopers working on it.
