Hey Ladies (and gentlemen?), contrary to popular belief, there are still single eligible men left. Well, at least according to New York Observer ,who released their '2011 50 Media Power Bachelors' list a couple days ago. If  you're like me and you have a predisposition for loving nerds, you will dig this list. It includes well-knowns like Anderson Cooper, Shepard Smith, and the extremely drool-worthy "Brad Pitt of Media," Pete Cashmore of The Mashable. (Who would be my #1 stalking choice if I was still single.) Honorable mentions go to lesser-known cutie patooties, Jeff Bercovici (Forbes), Tyler Hicks (NYT), and Jason Kincaid (TechCrunch).

Of course the list only highlights the men's flattering qualities like how much money they make, and how charming/witty/handsome/successful they are. (No mention of dirty bathrooms, toenail fungus, neurotic O.C.D habits, or ape-like backs.) I skimmed through the slideshow, and to my amusement saw a couple colleagues (one who probably had the best quote of the entire slideshow, which was: "I'm recently single. So hopefully this (list) will get me laid."

The list had its highs and lows, and definitely had me wondering, "Why are some of these men still single?" Followed by, "Wow the stalking that's going to ensue after this list is released is hilarious." The men may want to prepare their restraining orders now. With names, company info, and net worth, it doesn't take much more than a Google search to get your stalk on. But let's not leave the ladies out, The New York Observer also did a '2011 50 Media Power Bachelorettes' list, which included media darlings like Arianna Huffington and Lizzie O'Leary. Fifty men to fifty women.  Hmm...we feel like a '50 Media Power People' singles mixer should be a given. Your move, New York Observer!
