Then City Councilman Anthony Weiner gets some love from a 1996 Cosmo magazine article.

Long before his last name became a national joke, Rep. Anthony Weiner was voted one of Cosmopolitan magazine's "101 Gorgeous Real Life Bachelors."

A fresh-faced Weiner was featured in the venerable fashion mag in 1996 when he was a 35-year-old city councilman.

"The Future President?" read a headline over a pic of Weiner, dressed in a plaid wool jacket over a gold vest and white button-down shirt.

Asked what qualities he looked for in his "First Lady," Weiner said: "Someone smarter than me. I want to be sucked back into the throes of love - isn't that what everyone really wants?"

The piece notes that Weiner is a Virgo whose office was located at 1901 Ave. U in Brooklyn.

Weiner told the magazine he aspired to run for Congress, and his favorite cartoon character is Newt Gingrich.

"For obvious reasons," Weiner quipped.

Through the years, Weiner lived up to his billing, dating a stream of sexy media types.

Weiner's exes include TV reporter Gigi Stone, former New York magazine publicist Serena Torrey and television producer Alli Joseph.

The notoriously single Weiner settled down last year, marrying Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin.
