What's the male version of "hottie"?

Solution 1:

Merriam-Webster has a gender-free definition of "hottie:"

a physically attractive person.

A quick Google search on "he's a hottie" yields many results.

Solution 2:

Hunk is probably the word you are looking for

As per Collins dictionary, the definition of hunk is "a well-built, sexually attractive man"

Solution 3:

I would suggest using word stud, but it gives quite a virile connotation. Citing Merriam Webster 3,

Stud: [...] a young man: guy; especially: one who is virile and promiscuous.

Solution 4:

A specifically male version of hottie would be dreamboat.

The term fox is usually used in reference to a male, while foxy is the female version.

The term dish or dishy is most often used in reference to a male.

Each of these terms has been in use for some time and therefore may appear to be a bit dated today.

Solution 5:

(as others have stated) Hottie is not gender specific. However, if you wanted a more male specific version, stud might apply (however this is more antiquated)
