Scientistics is here to help you understand the AfterElton.com Hot 100!

Feeling overwhelmed by the piercing eyes, dazzling smiles and sculpted pecs on this year's AfterElton.com Hot 100? Not sure how to organize and analyze all that raw data? What's that — organizing data is the last thing on your mind?

Well, someone here has to have a level head. I guess that's why your editors brought in a lesbian. Yep, I'm on loan from AfterEllen.com today to walk you through the science and statistics (scientistics!) of this year's list.

Want to know what the men you voted for have in common? Let's Venn this thing and find out.

Several actors who are part of your favorite fictional gay couples made this year's list. To determine which couple is hottest, we plotted their average hotness rating.

Sometimes there's nothing hotter than a well-played accessory. The AfterElton.com Hot 100 List has one of the most eclectic groupings of appurtenance ever assembled.

Finally, there's the thing no picture can capture: the voice. Some of these men have angelic singing voices (Adam Lambert) or commanding speaking voices (Barack Obama). And then some of them just have perfect one-liners.

See, math can be hot! Wait, where are you going? Oh, you want to look at the Hot 100 pictures again? Fine, carry on. Math can wait.
