When Clueless Hot Guys Step Into A Train Or Bus With Their Books... #HotDudesReading ALERT
A hot dude and reading a book? That's a double whammy (in good way, obviously)!

A guy reading is hot. Look at how hot this guy looks as he is lost in reading being clueless about his own charm!
So for the single guys still looking for a sweetheart, stop doing whatever you are! Because the simplest way to get a woman's attention is to grab a book and step outside, as a new Instagram account seems to suggest.
Called Hot Dudes Reading, the Instagram account with barely 17 posts so far, already has over 233K followers, the count of which is growing rather impressively
The account has a strict "#NoKindles" rule, only featuring photos of, as its name explicitly points out, dashing, everyday dudes engrossed in reading. They're captured, without their knowledge, taking the NYC subway.
While the praise and followers for the account is growing with each passing second, the most interesting factor about it are the captions. Beautifully lyrical, each caption gushes about the dudes. For example:
"Sigh. This Clark Kent look-alike seems to have just flown in from Krypton to spend some QT on the F Train with us mere mortals. I may have to pretend to faint so he’ll catch me but I’m going to let him finish the last few pages of 100 Years of Solitude first. #superman #hotdudesreading"
Here's another:
"Whoa. This smoldering smokeshow stepped right off the pages of GQ and into my heart. That manly moustache almost makes me forget he has better hair than I do. When he puts down that book I hope he'll give me some tips #butjustthetips #hotdudesreading"
The creators of the account, a group of 20 and 30-something male and female New Yorkers, explained a familiar origin story to the Huffington Post
"We've always chatted about constantly falling in love on our subway commutes and organically began sending these pictures to one another," they told The Huffington Post. "The Instagram account was started on a lark as something to do on a snowy day, and a week+ later here we are."
As the creators told HuffPost, "Reading is fundamentally hot, and who doesn't like to fantasize a little bit about the sexy stranger we spot sitting across from us? And who could argue with this:
So hows those who are featured in the account feel? Well, we can't say for others, but one of the bookworm bros featured on the feed says "It's flattering as all hell."
“All of the attention is completely foreign to me,” Nick Petrillo tells The Post. “I’m just a small-town kid from New Hampshire.”
Petrillo, a 24-year-old financial analyst, had no idea the infamous image even existed until he woke up the morning after it was posted to find 100 Facebook messages waiting for him.
“I had people from high school and college reaching out to me about it,” he says. “It’s so weird.”

"This Elijah Wood look-a-like is all hunk, no hobbit. He probably weekends in the Berkshires with his golden retriever, hiking and chopping wood with those big hands. He could trek to Middle Earth and I'd still follow. #illtakethatring #hotdudesreading"
