Perfect TV Men

Perfect TV Men
By · Updated October 28, 2020
01
Russell “Stringer” Bell (The Wire)

No shocker here. The Stringer character struck a perfect balance of rugged, suave, intelligence, and handsome. This was the guy every woman wanted to be with and every man wanted to be his boy.

Perfect TV Men
02
Calvin Payne (Tyler Perry’s House Of Payne)

This tweet pretty much summed up the Calvin votes: “I don’t know the character’s name, haven’t seen any episodes of the show, but whoever Lance Gross plays on TV is who I’m voting for!”

Perfect TV Men
03
Det. J.C. Williams (NY Undercover)

A man that would stand-up and defend you, no matter the circumstance, Malik Yoba did this role justice!

Perfect TV Men
04
Alcide (True Blood)

Fiercely loyal, over 6 feet tall, and carries what looks like an 8 pack (I counted), this is the werewolf EVERYONE (with the exception of Sookie) wants to save them. If True Blood stays on air for several more seasons, he may take the #1 spot.

Perfect TV Men
05
The Fresh Prince (The Fresh Prince of Bel Air)

Funny, funny, and funny. Who doesn’t like a man that can make you laugh. Also, playing across Carlton gave him an element of cool. Very worthy of bringing home to mom.

Perfect TV Men
06
Dr. Sheldon Hawkes (CSI NY)

Brilliant and passionate about his job (and he actually gets along with his boss), he’s a keeper!

Perfect TV Men
07
Ray Drecker (Hung)

My favorite tweet was “I voted for Ray Drecker for obvious reasons.”

Perfect TV Men
08
Dr. Robert Leeds (Sex In The City)

He was only on for a few episodes, but this shows you what a good butt (scene) will get you. Blair Underwood’s romance with Miranda cemented Dr. Leeds in the hearts of many!

Perfect TV Men
09
Eric Northman (True Blood)

He’ll kill for you…and he might just kill you, too…but his lethal exterior gives way to a true romantic. Mr. Northman is the one vampire I know many ladies would love to have bite them.

Perfect TV Men
10
Dwayne Wayne (It’s A Different World)

This was the shocker to me! The first few votes that rolled in for him I thought were a joke but after reading the comments (funny, smart, romantic, relentless about his pursuit of Whitley) it all made perfect sense! Dwayne Wanye is the most dateable TV character of all-time!

Perfect TV Men

Did I Miss Your Pick?

You can find me on Twitter or Facebook any time.
