Decks with the most visually pleasing men?

Falcor

Hudes tarot offers a few handsome/sweet guys as well. I just adore the Fool card =]

I remember seeing a deck here months ago in a discussion of 'ugliest decks'. It was this bizarre deck made up of hi-fashion photographs. One thing that sticks out in my mind was that it had some fine looking men. Anyone know the deck I'm talking about?

One more suggestion: the Steampunk Tarot (Matthews) has some nice looking men of all ages.

I keep checking in on the Steampunk Tarot as sure I'll suddenly want it one of these days but it hasn't called to me yet.

I just can't believe there isn't a "mildly pornographic tarot of hot werewolves" yet :D

This thread made me think - how IS the situation with visually pleasing men, in any random Tarot deck? How hard is it really? I mean, there is a plethora of attractive women available in any given deck, even the abstract ones.

I worked with some decks today so they are on my kitchen table, I just looked through them and here I am, reporting my findings! I took Dreaming Way, Japaridze, Lynd Ward, Archeon and Zirkus Mägi. I left out Thoth and Tabula Mundi Colores Arcus.

Disclaimer: by "attractive" I mean sexually attractive, a man I would go on a date with.

Japaridze
King of Tides is kinda attractive.
Four of Winds reminds me of my college boyfriend.
Two of Fire is kinda interesting.

And that's it! Nobody really attractive here.

Lynd Ward - okay I know that's a stretch, but here goes:
Lower right corner in 7 of Swords
Right guy from Ace of Pentacles
The guy from the Tower
The guy in the chequered suit in the Queen of Cups
10 of Pentacles
8 of Pentacles, oh my.......
5 of Cups
7 of Cups
2 of Cups

Not bad! Especially for a deck with woodcut panels for the artwork...

Zirkus Mägi
Charlie Chaplin in the 5 of Cups has a certain charm
The guy in 10 of Blades could be handsome, without all the... nails...
Same with the guy in Ace of Blades
Guess circus folk is really not for me....


Dreaming Way
Not that kind of deck I guess...


Archeon
Knight of Cups
The Magician, oh my...
King of Swords
Five of Swords


Weirdly, Lynd Ward wins... But the point of the experiment was to show how difficult it is to find attractive men in Tarot decks without specifically looking for them.

NB! This is just for fun. I like Tarot for its symbolism and I don't particularly care if there are attractive men involved :) but hey, couldn't hurt

But presently - I'm in LOVE with the King of Cups from The Tarot of the Night.
Sorry Le Fanu - LOOOOONG blonde hair - and - you can't actually tell what gender he is.
Looks like he's everything...
He makes me think of Burgoyne 172 - from the Hermat species (cat like humanoids, hermaphrodite gender - can change depending on who they like). 'Star Trek - New Frontier' novels. (Oops - my Trekkiness is showing!).

Don't have a photo specifically of him... May go off and do a group photo of the "best men" out of my decks... :joke:
But presently here's the Tarot of the night link:
