Ladies, who's hotter? Tell us what kind of man turns you on!

Do you prefer a scruffy, macho bad boy or an impeccably-dressed metrosexual? Clean-cut cutie, or grunge hunk?

Here, we pit male celebs who are clearly on opposite sides of the fence, against each other -- and we want YOU to vote on their appeal! That means choosing who's more stylish and attractive, not necessarily who you think is the bigger talent.

So take the poll at the bottom of each page and let us know!

Shah Rukh Khan vs Akshay Kumar

Slick King Khan, with his gelled-back hair and exquisitely tailored suits is suave, debonaire and cool. On the other hand, we have the Khiladi -- rugged, rough and ready and definitely a man's man!

Ranbir Kapoor vs John Abraham

The trendy Kapoor is always dressed in the best of casuals and has the 'cute' tag despite his Casanova reputation. John, on the other hand, with his bulging biceps and biker-boy image can hardly be described in the same terms!

Sidhartha Mallya vs Rana Daggubati

Deepika's beau was educated in London, wears spiffy clothes and has a fleet of fancy cars at his disposal. With his dark, brooding looks, sexy stubble and dressed-down avatar, Rana is in stark contrast!

Virat Kohli vs Mahendra Singh Dhoni

Dashing young cricketer Virat has an image that projects boyish spunk and energy. His skipper Dhoni, meanwhile, is square-shouldered, older, wiser -- and if you haven't noticed, pretty darn tough!

Imran Khan vs Prateik

Chocolate boy Imran is a funky dresser, with a face that shouts out 'Mr Much-Married Squeaky Clean' -- it has girls falling all over him. Prateik, meanwhile, comes across as the strong, silent, moody type. We're pretty sure he has a lot of takers too!

Hrithik Roshan vs Arjun Rampal

Now this is a tough one! Two handsome dudes, one sophisticated and bright-eyed, the other rugged and macho, ready to sweep women off their feet.

Both moviemakers, KJo is dapper, upbeat and charming, while Imtiaz is scruffy, with a curly crop and oozes geek chic.

Omar Abdullah vs Rahul Gandhi

The CM of Kashmir could not be cooler, with his sunglasses, perfectly pressed clothes and occasional Kashmiri fez cap. In comparison, the Gandhi scion is usually dressed down in white kurta, day-old stubble and slippers, which he trades in for sneakers on tours of rural India.

Shahid Kapoor vs Suriya

Twinkle toes Shahid seems to put a lot of stock in his appearance, with shiny hair and a well-fitted wardrobe. Suriya seems to count more on his muscles and occasional facial hair to make a statement.

Rahul Bose vs Milind Soman

The diminutive actor and strapping former model could not be more different. Rahul likes his white suits and intellectual conversations, Milind can sport white facial hair and a cotton kurta and still blow your mind!

Rahul Khanna vs Sanjay Dutt

Or should we say good boy vs bad boy? Poles apart, Rahul is recognised by his sweet smile and great style, while Sanjay's trademarks include his tattoos, swagger and distressed denims!

Leander Paes vs Mahesh Bhupathi

The tennis aces may be a team, but they clash when it comes to fashion. Lea is suave and sticks to suits, while tall, dark and handsome Hesh is more a throw-it-on-and-walk kind of guy.

Farhan Akhtar vs Ajay Devgn

Whoever says the apple doesn't fall far from the tree didn't meet these Deol cousins! The Punjabi action king and his younger, smoother cousin certainly are a study in contrasts.

Kunal Kapoor vs Vijendra Singh

And finally, we have the puppy-eyed, lanky Kapoor whose urban style packs a punch -- and boxer Vijendra, whose no-nonsense, straight-up look has to be admired. Or else we'll be punched!
