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."

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.

13. Christian Grey

We know you are sick of hearing about 50 Shades of Grey. So are we. How has a fictional character had so much impact on America that he was voted number 13 on this list? Simple. Christian Grey is rich, attractive, and knows EXACTLY how to please a woman. While we kind of hate him for being most things we are not, we should probably thank Christian Grey for finally proving that you don't have to cook for her or pick up her feminine products in order to win her over. Because of this, men all over the world are asking themselves, "What would Christian Grey do?" The answer is usually to whip out the handcuffs...
