Zayn Malik Not The Sexiest Man Alive, Say Most Women

Zayn Malik may have thousands -- if not millions -- of admirers but apparently he's not the bees knees to every woman out there. In fact, in a poll of the sexiest men, the One Direction bad boy came in fifth, below Harry Styles (fourth) and David Beckham (second). So who took the top spot and holds the hearts of so many women?

That would be no other than Benedict Cumberbatch who starred in Sherlock, a hit BBC series. It seems as though most women prefer the actor, 35, to Zayn, Harry and David even though he isn't as well-known across the globe.

Benedict came in on top with more than double the votes of the second place winner, David Beckham, which is rather shocking. For Harry Styles and Zayn Malik to come in fourth and fifth is even more shocking. The only reasonable explanation is that there weren't many tweens and teens voting, as that seems to be the market Harry and Zayn have the most admirers in.

Do you agree with the vote? Should Zayn Malik have been higher up or did Benedict Cumberbatch deserve to get the top spot?
