Why would I? I don’t think men care why women like them, as long as they do. That’s the point of the nerd in high school who makes it big. You work that hard for a reason. You want to have access to the dating pool.”
— Smoldering Joe Manganiello, who’ll return as Big Dick Richie in Magic Mike XXL this summer, in an interview with Details (we presume he doesn’t mind the ogling from men, either)
Since Joe doesn’t object, scroll down for a few more photos from his 2013 photo shoot for Men’s Health.

Well, this just spoils it for me.
Billy Budd
He is definitely hot.
Darrell Schissler
Sooooooo hot!

Joe ain’t stupid… use what you got. because when it gets stale — and it WILL get stale — you won’t have anything else to offer but stories of a time back when…
Michael Pierce
Well thank goodness…like it was going to change my view.

I don’t think this guy was a nerd in high school.

He’s smart enough to know what people want from him. On Aisha Tyler’s podcast interview with him he explicitly stated that the second he got a break on Trueblood he spent his first episode money on a personal trainer and supplements to make sure he could stay hot enough to become a recurring character.
There’s no shame in trading on your looks in Hollywood. It is just the reality of the situation. He’s willing to work hard to maintain his body and work hard enough that he can turn his work into more work, and that’s actually something admirable considering that he was struggling before that big break. He values the opportunity for work, and his body is what provides that opportunity.

Of course, as he isn’t just another idiot.
Takes major idiot to think the other way.
Well done JOE

I had a guy walk up behind me at a bar and ask angrily: “Are you looking at me, faggot?” I turned around and it was this little bodybuilder. When I told him, “Yes, I was and so is everyone else in this place: you’re the best looking person here and you’ve obviously worked your ass off to look this good.” He calmed down fast. He knew I was right and being honest.
I’m glad Joe doesn’t mind if gays appreciate him A LOT, because some of us can’t stop.

@SteveDenver: Oh dear, you have problems. 🙂
Jim Lee
not like his opinion would stop me!!
Enron
I want this man in my life!
Louis
Gorgeous and he’s so welcoming of the LGBT COMMUNITY.
Billy Budd
He was the greatest werewolf. I would bite his neck anyday.
Raphael
He’s so handsome but I think his body is ugly X.X
Pistolo
In all honesty, these decorative actors who are basically known for being fitness models don’t do it for me. He’s handsome and fit, he’s not sexy.
Dennis Sandoval
Why should anyone be offended that anyone else thinks they are beautiful?
GayEGO
He is a hot guy! Yowser Dowser!
Tackle
@Pistolo: I agree with with you are saying. He is a good looking fit guy, but he has zero sex appeal.That nerd from high school with the low self esteem still seems to be there, but only camouflaged up with a some what buff body from steroid use…
Benjamin Garcia

Masc Pride
Totally want a three-way with him and Sophia Vergara.
Andrew Vermaak
Well thats a relief!! Cos he is!!!
Alicia Dickson
Benjamin Garcia – I pretend like I could handle that hotness, but I don’t think I could. Pretty sure he’s just too much man for me…
Clark35
@Raphael: Agreed looks roided out. @Masc Pride: Yes that would be hot.
