Jennifer Lawrence ‘Most Desirable Woman,’ Kim K barely makes list

Jennifer Lawrence has topped AskMen’s annual list of the 99 most desirable women in the world.

The 22-year-old bombshell jumped a stunning 46 spots from last year to take the crown for 2013.

“Overall, there’s a sense that she’s a little more authentic than other actors,” AskMen’s editor in chief James Bassil said to Reuters.

Mila Kunis, Kate Upton, Rihanna and Emma Stone round out the top five. Last year’s No. 1, Sofia Vergara, is now in the No. 12 position.

More than one million readers voted for the yearly list of beauties on the men’s Web site, now in its twelfth year. Readers were asked to decide whether they would date each of the women based on factors other than physical beauty.

The actress has had a banner year with leading roles in both “Silver Linings Playbook” and “The Hunger Games.”

Men are perhaps attracted to strong independent women like Lawrence, who was nominated for an Oscar for 2010’s “Winter’s Bone.” Claire Danes who earned an Emmy this year for her standout role on the TV drama “Homeland” earned a first-time spot on the list at No. 20. Marissa Mayer, President and CEO of Yahoo!, makes the list at No. 59 and First Lady Michelle Obama ranks in at No. 33.

Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian’s desirability is fading. Kanye West’s girlfriend has dropped from No. 8 in 2011 to nearly being taken off the list completely at No. 98 this year.

“Kim Kardashian is petering off and basically dropping off the list at this point even as she’s become more visible,” Bassil said.

Scarlett Johansson also fell from the rankings, from No. 7 last year to 45.

Also interesting – Kristen Stewart’s dalliance with her married “Snow White” director Rupert Sanders didn’t hurt her desirability. She jumped 20 spots from last year and now sits at No. 7.
