Clint Eastwood does it for me and I'm so straight I can't bend over. That guy looked better in his 50s and 60s than most men half his age. My contribution: 80s Harrison Ford was a fucking man
I'm probably misreading this thread title as a thread for Classic Men is the sense of blokes who actually came across as classic blokes rather than "Phwoooooaaar classic men!"...so here's my contribution.
Lee Goddamn Marvin.
Outside of Connery's first words as Bond, possibly one the coolest scenes in 60's cinema...
Not a fan of his music, I don't know much about him personally, and I am straight-up hetero but, if I'm being real, I have to admit: that is one sexy-ass man.
Fantastic thread, and absolutely great posts so far. The fashion and attitudes of classic men are awesome, and I'm definitely a subscriber to the "they don't make them like they used to" mentality.
Huge fan of the Doors here. Man, Jim lived hard. If you look at him in 1967 -- when they released their debut with stuff with "Light My Fire" and 1971 -- when they released "L.A. Woman," you would see, in both looks and voice, that even though it was only 4 years, Jim Morrison looks like he aged 20 years in that time.
Crazy to think that he was only 27 when he died, yet he looked 40. He looked and sounded like shit, too. (But I don't care because "L.A. Woman" is actually my favorite album of theirs.) I guess if you drank that much beer, did that many drugs, and fucked that many chicks, you would age quickly, too
It's so much more though. Zeitgeist. Upbringing in a very different culture that results in inter and outer social/psychological mind set, behaviour, fashion. Morals...
Late edit: pictures and movies don't represent those men. Just a friendly easily forgotten heads up

I always wonder what these old time movie stars would look like if they were round today. Hairstyles and general aesthetics have changed so much that you really don't see men who look like this anymore.
