" JERRY LOLLAR, 39 Indianapolis Small-business owner Married 18 years to Danielle, 39 Father to Jerad, 11, and Abbey, 9 What makes him so hot: &amp;quot;After almost two decades together, Jerry is still the funniest person I know,&amp;quot; Danielle says. &amp;quot;He can make me laugh at anything, and we&amp;#039;ve used humor to deal with all the ups and downs over the years. He&amp;#039;s also a great dad, and he coaches the kids&amp;#039; basketball and soccer teams at church, which he loves. Watching him bond with his own kids and show them that he&amp;#039;s there for them, no matter what, is wonderful for me.&amp;quot;  Hidden talent: &amp;quot;He&amp;#039;s always wanted to do stand-up comedy,&amp;quot; Danielle says. &amp;quot;He actually has a journal of material.&amp;quot; How did he feel when he found out he was a finalist? &amp;quot;It was flattering to know that people think I&amp;#039;m a good-looking guy, but to be honest, I was a little embarrassed too,&amp;quot; Jerry says. &amp;quot;I never even went online to look, and if I had, I probably would have voted for someone else.&amp;quot; What Jerry wants women to know about men: &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s a stereotype that all men check out other women, but it&amp;#039;s not true,&amp;quot; he says. &amp;quot;Everyone notices a good-looking individual when they see one, but that doesn&amp;#039;t mean that all men gawk at women. A lot of men don&amp;#039;t. I certainly don&amp;#039;t.&amp;quot;  What he loves about his wife: &amp;quot;There are so many things I love about Danielle, but the thing I appreciate most is her big heart,&amp;quot; Jerry says. &amp;quot;I tease her about this every day. It doesn&amp;#039;t matter what we watch on TV \u2014 Oprah, The Biggest Loser \u2014 she will cry at the drop of a hat because she has so much compassion for other people, even people she doesn&amp;#039;t know. I can&amp;#039;t imagine ever being married to anyone else because I can&amp;#039;t imagine looking over and seeing another woman not crying at the TV.&amp;quot; If he could give his wife an award, what would it be for? &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m actually trying to find an embarrassing contest on the Internet that I can enter her in to get back at her!&amp;quot; Jerry says. &amp;quot;But if I were to give her an award, it would be for World&amp;#039;s Greatest Mom. I couldn&amp;#039;t imagine a better mother.&amp;quot; PATRICK HAWLEY, 38 Webster Grove, MO Stay-at-home dad Married six years to Marcella, 37 Father to Tallulah, 5, and Finn, 2 What makes him so hot: &amp;quot;What is hotter than a husband who is willing to quit his lucrative technology job to stay home and raise your children?&amp;quot; Marcella says. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m so lucky that Patrick is such an amazing, appreciative dad. Plus, he is so passionate about everything that he does, and it&amp;#039;s exciting to be around someone like that. He plays drums in two bands; he&amp;#039;s a cyclist for a local competitive racing team, trains over 100 miles a week, and trains and mentors young cyclists; and he&amp;#039;s a gourmet cook. Patrick is hot in just about every category you can imagine.&amp;quot;  Best feature: &amp;quot;His eyes are really amazing,&amp;quot; Marcella says. What Patrick wants women to know about men: &amp;quot;Don&amp;#039;t overlook a guy who&amp;#039;s quiet or shy,&amp;quot; he says. &amp;quot;He may not be super-outgoing, but he could be the most devoted, passionate, and caring person out there.&amp;quot; How did he feel when he found out he was a finalist? &amp;quot;Had I known beforehand, I would have asked Marcy not to enter the contest,&amp;quot; Patrick admits. &amp;quot;But once I found out, my competitive spirit emerged. I wanted to win! Honestly, though, the best part was for Marcy to enter me in the first place. For her to think that I was deserving of the title Hottest Husband \u2014 that&amp;#039;s even better than winning.&amp;quot; If he could give his wife an award, what would it be for? &amp;quot;If I don&amp;#039;t say Hottest Wife, I&amp;#039;m in trouble because she nominated me to be Hottest Husband!&amp;quot; Patrick says. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;d say Most Supportive, Most Understanding, and Hottest Wife. There, I got my way out of there!&amp;quot; VINCENT ROWE, 45 Los Angeles  Vascular surgeon Married 17 years to Pauline, 45 What makes him so hot: Move over, McDreamy \u2014 there&amp;#039;s a new hot doc in town! &amp;quot;Vincent treats every patient with the same care and attention he would give a family member,&amp;quot; Pauline says. &amp;quot;He also travels to Honduras twice a year to provide vascular surgery to patients who can&amp;#039;t afford it and train physicians there to complete the complex operation. His patients call him &amp;#039;salva vida,&amp;#039; life saver. And he keeps his 6-foot-4-inch physique and amazing butt sexy by cycling up to 100 miles a day. Even his 60-year-old secretary says, &amp;#039;Everyone loves Dr. Rowe&amp;#039;s butt!&amp;#039;&amp;quot;  What Vincent wants women to know about men: &amp;quot;Don&amp;#039;t try to find out what we&amp;#039;re thinking, because the truth will shock you,&amp;quot; he says.  Favorite way to spoil his wife: &amp;quot;I used to spoil her with jewelry, but what she really wants is kind, sweet words,&amp;quot; Vincent says. What makes his marriage work so well: &amp;quot;We are both able to forgive and forget,&amp;quot; Vincent says. &amp;quot;We try to leave the past in the past and move on.&amp;quot; Best thing about being married: &amp;quot;Companionship,&amp;quot; Vincent says. &amp;quot;I feel like I always have someone who cares for my well-being.&amp;quot; What did the guys have to say about his being in this contest? &amp;quot;They teased me about it,&amp;quot; Vincent says, &amp;quot;especially the part on the website where it said I have a nice butt!&amp;quot; JOHN GREENSTONE, 49  Fallbrook, Fire Married 28 years to Lori, 48 Father to Kelli, 26, John Glen, 23, Scott, 14, Andrew, 12, Lili, 9, and Arielle, 14 months What makes him so hot: &amp;quot;Even though we have six children \u2014 and now a grandson! \u2014 our relationship isn&amp;#039;t just about being parents,&amp;quot; says Lori. &amp;quot;He writes love poems for me with magnetic words on our refrigerator, built me an art studio in the backyard \u2014 and after 25 years together, he learned to country-dance so he can take me two-stepping on our date nights! He&amp;#039;s full of integrity and confidence. Our boys want to be like him, and our girls want to marry someone like him.&amp;quot; What did the guys have to say about his being in this contest? &amp;quot;What didn&amp;#039;t they say?&amp;quot; John says. &amp;quot;But after the initial ribbing, they started asking me questions, like, &amp;#039;How have you stayed married for so long?&amp;#039; So many people are struggling to stay married, so it was nice to have the opportunity to talk about that.&amp;quot; Favorite way to spoil his wife: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s simple, but I bring her roses every couple of months,&amp;quot; John says.  What John wants women to know about men: &amp;quot;When you&amp;#039;re in a relationship with a man, treating him with respect is the most important thing,&amp;quot; he says. &amp;quot;Don&amp;#039;t drop it because you&amp;#039;re angry. Nothing feels worse than if my wife loses respect for me.&amp;quot; What makes his marriage work so well: &amp;quot;We made a decision early on that &amp;#039;divorce&amp;#039; wasn&amp;#039;t going to be in our vocabulary,&amp;quot; John says. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re both on the same team, even when we&amp;#039;re arguing, and we&amp;#039;re determined to make it work, no matter what.&amp;quot; TOMMY RUDIG, 29 Roseville, CA Forklift operator Married six years to Allison, 29 Father to Blake, 6 What makes him so hot: &amp;quot;His strength of character,&amp;quot; Allison says. &amp;quot;When we had our son, Blake, and discovered he had Down syndrome, I went through a grieving process, but Tommy never did. Tommy was just so proud and happy to have Blake as his son, and he always puts Blake first. He had been planning to go back to college but put his dreams on hold so he could work a job that would give him the flexibility to take care of our son. Then, right after we had Blake, Tommy was diagnosed with testicular cancer. He had just finished his first round of treatment when we got married. He&amp;#039;s been cancer-free for five years now.&amp;quot; Hidden talent: &amp;quot;He cooks and bakes,&amp;quot; Allison says. &amp;quot;Every year on Valentine&amp;#039;s Day, my mom takes Blake, and Tommy makes dinner for us \u2014 a crab dish and these awesome molten chocolate cakes. And last year, he made these tiny strawberry cupcakes to bring in to Blake&amp;#039;s class. They were a huge hit!&amp;quot; What Tommy wants women to know about men: &amp;quot;Men love women, we love you to death, but sometimes we just need our space,&amp;quot; he says. &amp;quot;Guys need to have their guys&amp;#039; night out, and we don&amp;#039;t necessarily want you there. It&amp;#039;s not because we don&amp;#039;t love you \u2014 we just want to watch basketball and hang out. It&amp;#039;s nothing personal!&amp;quot; What did the guys have to say about his being in this contest? &amp;quot;A couple of the guys at work started calling me &amp;#039;Double H&amp;#039; for &amp;#039;Hottest Husband,&amp;#039;&amp;quot; Tommy admits. Best thing about being married: &amp;quot;Everything!&amp;quot; Tommy says. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s great having someone who knows you inside and out, who understands you and will always be there in good times and bad times.&amp;quot; Meet This Year&amp;#039;s Winner Even More Hot Husbands!
