Come on, the man is funny, sweet, brave, and so very HOT! Oh yeah, the self-proclaimed 'The American Dream' (lol) is the one!'' —Mel

Ted Mosby (Josh Radnor), How I Met Your Mother
(Votes received: 555; 3%)
''Ted Mosby! He's successful, smart, cultured (to an annoying point sometimes, but it's endearing), funny, nerdy, and very handsome. Also, it's a whole damn show about how he wants to find love and be a good partner and father. Wins all around.'' —Elia

Peter Bishop (Joshua Jackson), Fringe
(Votes received: 731; 4%)
''Either: Peter Bishop from Fringe — he's superintelligent, incredibly loyal despite everything that's happened to him, and has amazing eyes; or Neil Caffrey from White Collar — no man on TV dresses better than he does, or knows more about wine, or fine jewelry (great gifts!); but he'd also give it all up for love, and that's an extremely attractive quality.'' —Rachel

Marshall Eriksen (Jason Segel), How I Met Your Mother
(Votes received: 801; 4%)
''Hands down Marshall. He has to kill off Lily to fantasize about another woman! Can't get any better than that.'' —MissK
''Marshall Eriksen from HIMYM — so preciously cute, funny, and sweet. Plus just a little out of shape, which for some reason I adore!'' —jlw
Marshall Eriksen from How I Met Your Mother. I have such a huge crush on him/on Jason Segel. Marshall is sweet, fun, funny, a hopeless romantic, considerate, and totally loyal to his friends and family. He's got good manners and a great heart, plus he's smart. The icing on the cake? He's a giant Star Wars fan. It's a turn-on to be able to say to a guy ''I love you'' and hear back ''I know.'''' —aliza

''Mmm... Love Neal Caffrey, too. That man looks delicious in a suit. The 'Forging Bonds' episode showed how incredibly sweet he is with a significant other.'' —AT
''Neal from White Collar, sure he'd probably get me wrapped up in some criminal art theft ring, and you'd never know if the jewelry he gave you as a gift was real or counterfeit, but he's soooo pretty...'' —Becca

''Castle for me, too! He is funny, creative, romantic, and terribly handsome.'' —Andora
''And he's got a Ferrari! Woo-hoo. Team Castle!'' —DivaSoulSista
