The internet has had its fling with various attractive veterinarians, surf lifeguards, and salt-sprinkling steak chefs. While we still hold a special place in our hearts for Salt Bae and the others, we can't help it if the next viral delight to come our way is just too good looking to resist drooling over as well.
Danny Jones is a delectable specimen standing at just over two meters tall and weighing in at an astonishing 265 pounds. He's rather muscular, which comes as no surprise given he's a fitness trainer who specializes in nutrition advice too.

We can all send our thanks and appreciation hampers to Twitter user @vickto_willy, who "discovered" the man and introduced him to all of the internet.
She shared two pictures of Jones to her Twitter, captioning it with a frank but pertinent "This is not a man, this is a tree."

The comparison to a tree is undoubtedly due to his incredible height, and the sheer sturdiness of his buff body. The Southern Californian found himself the center of a hurricane of admirers, with the tweet being liked over 48,600 times, and reshared by 25,200 Twitter users.
The Twitter user was then kind enough to share the source of her new find – the Instagram account from the Tree Man himself.

"Go plant some seeds," she wrote. I'm not entirely sure what it means (probably some kind of innuendo that went straight over my head), but in any case, it sounds like an invitation for people to go and openly admire him as well. Which they clearly did.

It's clear the ladies of the Twitterverse were lusting for Tree Man, but he also made quite an impression on some men.

Tree Man himself stayed humble and just replied to the whole thirst-fest with a thank you.

But later, he took to his Instagram page to post a picture of himself welcoming his new title.

"I figured I might as well embrace it... #treeman," he wrote in the caption.
"I think you're more along the lines of a Redwood...," said one commenter. "Tall, massive, and majestic!
The attention that was brought to him by the whole thing caused a huge influx to his already-popular Instagram page.
"So, the last 24 hours has been absolutely crazy," he told the Daily Mail. "I went to bed the night before last just like any other but woke up to 8k new Instagram followers.
"I thought it was a glitch in the system. I already had a fairly large following, but that rate of growth was unheard of. I had no idea where all these people came from."
"The Tree Man was born. It's been super fun and hilarious to see all the memes, articles and comments this is getting!"
He's now got close to 800 thousand followers, showing just how many admirers he's got. Sadly for those of us visiting less-so for the fitness tips, and more for the eye candy – it looks like the Tree Man has a Tree Woman. AND she's a mega babe too.

Sob. Ah well, isn't there a saying somewhere that goes along the lines of "there are plenty of trees in the forest"?
