While countless publications are claiming “The End Of Men” is here, we obviously disagree. To prove the cynics wrong, AskMen put together their 7th annual list of the past year’s Top 49 Most Influential Men. In fact according to Ask Men, "this year’s list confirms that men are not only still a major force of impact in today’s society but they are overcoming adversity by reinventing themselves in a society that is ever-changing."

So who are you hoping to see on the list? Of course the obvious are accounted for; heartthrob Ryan Gosling, internet sensation Psy, and funnyman Seth MacFarlane all made the cut as predicted. But what we loved about this list were the suprises. Here are some of our favorites. Be sure to check out AskMen.com for the full list.

AskMen's Top 49 Men

29. Felix Baumgartner

AskMen's number 29, Felix Baumgartner, is the definition of daredevil. His specialty is death-defying high altitude jumps and he's currently working to beat Joe Kittinger's parachute-jump world record of 102,800 feet. If his planned 120,000 feet jump is a success, Felix will become "the first man to break the sound barrier solo, outside of an aircraft." His Red Bull-sponsored Stratos effort is an example of the private sector's movement to replace government-sponsored exploration. Felix Baumgartner, we envy your courage, but for now—we'll be waiting for you on the ground.
