It’s not every day that you get to ogle shirtless guys outside of the gym, so imagine what a treat it was to assess the 20 beefcakes who showed up at our office to audition for the 8 DAYS Shirtless Guy Search 2012 last week. During the casting interview, several of these guys mentioned that they regularly receive Facebook messages from random women who compliment their appearance. Despite having a reputation as “himbos,” even these dudes acknowledged that hotness can’t sustain a woman’s love for long, so they paid them no mind.

Single women, if you’ve ever thought of making a move on the beefcake in your life, keep in mind the pros and cons of dating such a guy.

The results for the Top 10 shirtless guys will be revealed in the November 29 issue of 8DAYS
