Seeing as there's literally no-one out there for me in real life, I might as well day dream:

Ghost - Sam Wheat ❤
Homeland - Quinn
Friends - Richard Burke (without the tash)

OP posts:

Jim from The Office (US)

NeverThatSerious · 16/06/2023 23:32

Tim Riggins from Friday Night Lights, I can fix him, he just needs loving and looking after!! 🤣
See also Hook from once upon a time, Liam from 90210, JJ from Outer Banks and Kaz Brekker from Shadow and Bone
Apparently arrogance/cocky and emotionally damaged men are my thing 😂

Mindovermatter247 · 16/06/2023 23:33

Doug Ross - ER
luka Kovac - er
damon Salvatore - vampire diaries
troy Bolton - high school musical.. ( zac efron is the same age as me, and has literally appealed to me at every stage of my life)
jughead - riverdale
eddie Diaz - 911
adam Ruzek - Chicago p.d

Michael. From the original La Femme Nikita. So menacing.

Tchéky Karyo? 🥰 So fetch

Vintagecreamandcottagepie · 16/06/2023 23:35

Phil dunphy (this has been said more times than I expected- thought I was the only one)

The main guy in catastrophe

I clearly like tall, dark, handsome and down to earth.

For sexy sex- Billy from stranger things (goes off to corner in shame then realises someone said hanibal lector upthread...)

Pootle40 · 16/06/2023 23:39

Gabriel from Emily in Paris

Vintagecreamandcottagepie · 16/06/2023 23:43

And Aragorn.

You have very excellent taste in men

Well I was a little bit in love with Dalgleish (Bertie Carvel) until I Googled him and found he had played Miss Trunchbull. Always a mistake to Google 😆

But it’s the character, not the actor, that the OP asked about, and it was about falling in love and marrying, not just finding them sexy. There are loads on other people’s lists I’d shag, but who would be terrible husband material!

QueenofKattegat · 16/06/2023 23:51

Lucifer.

Not the actor, just Lucifer.

Catsmere · 16/06/2023 23:54

Captain Hook in the person of Jason Isaacs
DCS Christopher Foyle
Another vote for Colonel FitzWilliam from the ‘95 P&P (as long as we didn’t have to visit Lady Catherine too often) and of course Mr Darcy
Inspector Andrew Monroe from The Bill
Ray Vecchio from Due South (Benton Fraser was much prettier but I think Vecchio would be much more fun)

Ah...! No. I'm talking about the TV series. He was played by French Canadian Roy Dupuis. Maybe it was the accent...

QueenofKattegat · 17/06/2023 00:07

and that fox from the Robin Hood cartoon.

I'll get my coat.

QueenofKattegat · 17/06/2023 00:10

Captain Hook in the person of Jason Isaacs

Oh my, yes. All of the yes.

Aerin1999 · 17/06/2023 00:12

Oh that makes sense. The original film is also La Femme Nikita, I didn't know about the TV series

MoonahSton · 17/06/2023 00:32

I'm also in the Roy Kent fan club

Marshall from How I Met Your Mother

Olivier Martinez in Unfaithful
Michael Douglas in Fatal Attraction
Richard Gere in American Gigolo (lol)
Looks like romance is the last thing on my mind Blush

eandz13 · 17/06/2023 00:39

Dean Winchester... or his brother, or his dad, I'm not fussy.
Damon Salvatore or Klaus!
Joel in Santa Clarita Diet... I don't even fancy Timothy Oliphant, but he's the kind of support I'd need in a marriage.
