frankly the biggest reason cecil should win the sexyman poll is because he became a tumblr sexyman with these as his only canon descriptors on the fanlore page:
It's likely that Cecil is, like the majority of Night Vale residents, human, describing himself as such in passing several times. He is also described by both himself and by Kevin, his Desert Bluffs double, as "a man."
He is described from a photograph as being "not too short or tall, not fat or too thin. With hair [resembling Kevin's], a nose [resembling Kevin's] and eyes [resembling Kevin's]." He also wears a vest and tie, at least in the photograph.

I love how wtnv just indoctrinates its viewers. We are new to this world, but Cecil soothes us with his voice. We know, just from episode one, that the sun set 10 minutes too late. We know that there should be massive earthquakes happening, but no one is feeling a thing. There are so many things happening in the first episode - it’s impossible to just notice a few. By having everything be strange and abnormal, wtnv makes us an outsider in this world, with Cecil as our only guide.
It’s through this strange introduction that we find ourselves trusting our narator. He has no reason to lie, this is just the radio. These are how things have always been. This is normal.
And we believe it.
We can ignore the fact that Night Vale is the weird place. We can ignore that, as far a we know, the rest of the world is like ours. We can ignore it because we trust Cecil. He is being honest, so when he says this is normal, we believe him, and we forget what we know.
Wtnv is amazing because it knows just how to get us to listen to everything that is happening. It makes it so easy to just listen and believe. And later on, it makes it easy to despise those who would take our normal ways from us.
