Dating site visitors have named an 18-year-old shawarma and darts enthusiast the sexiest athlete in the world (5 photos) (Photo)
The young man is far from the standard of beauty, but he attracted the attention of 2,000 women with his naturalness and confidence. 
The sexiest athlete in the world has been named 18-year-old darts player Luke Littler, who impresses with his relaxed and natural demeanor. He doesn't look like a typical athlete—he has the figure of an average amateur, loves shawarma, and plays FIFA on a console—but it was his charisma that captivated more than two thousand women who participated in a survey by the British dating site IllicitEncounters, according to The Sporting News. 
According to the site's representatives, women's evaluations are based not on stereotypical ideal appearance (abs, Hollywood smile, etc.), but on sincerity, accessibility, and self-confidence. Littler has become a symbol of a new standard of attractiveness. He's a working-class man who lives an ordinary life, but is confident in his abilities and knows how to achieve victories. 
The top three also included boxer Tyson Fury, Formula 1 driver Lando Norris, and another darts player, Luke Humphries. Among the less popular were footballers Jude Bellingham and Erling Haaland. This reshuffle reflects the modern perception of attractiveness, where physical appearance gives way to charisma and charm, which are independent of physique and physical beauty.
