Everyone says women go for the bad boys. Well, I tend to go for the fictional ones. Here are my picks for top 5 TV bad boys:1) Spike, “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”
There’s just something about bleach-blonde hair, fake British accents, and fangs…
In his words: “We like to talk big ... vampires do. ‘I'm going to destroy the world.’ That's just tough-guy talk. Strutting around with your friends over a pint of blood. The truth is, I like this world. You've got...dog racing, Manchester United. And you've got people. Billions of people walking around like Happy Meals with legs. It's all right here.”
2) Brian Kinney, “Queer as Folk”
My absolute favorite Facebook group: “I’d become a man to have sex with Brian Kinney.” So true.
In his words: “I don't believe in love, I believe in fucking. It's honest, it's efficient – you get in and out with a maximum of pleasure and a minimum of bullshit.”
3) Logan Echolls, “Veronica Mars”
Three words: Obligatory. Psychotic. Jackass. This snarky bad boy is equally hot whether he’s taunting Veronica or making out with her.
In his words: “F.Y.I.? If cuddling is the best part, he didn't do it right.”
4) Tim Riggins, “Friday Night Lights”
When Riggins was kicked out of the Taylor’s house and left homeless, my mom and I simultaneously screamed at our TV: “Come live here!”
In his words: “Texas forever.”
5) Detective Jimmy McNulty, “The Wire”
“The Wire” doesn’t exactly have “good” and “bad” guys, but this Jameson-guzzling, womanizing po-lice definitely tows the moral line.
In his words: “What the fuck did I do?”
The lesson from all this: I have a thing for fictional alcoholic assholes. Doesn’t bode well for my romantic future.

And while we're on the subject of TV crushes, Entertainmetn Weekly's Web site did a great photo gallery feature called Reader Picks: TV Characters You'd Date. Some of our favorite TV guys and gals made the list.
Special thanks to my cousin and TV-watching-partner-in-crime, Dani, for sending me this link. She's in London for six months, but is still keeping up with American television. Now that's dedication.
