Boys are always complaining that we are impossible to please. But maybe it’s because all these shows gave us such high expectations in men. When is someone going to try to stop a plane for me like Ross did for Rachel? Still waiting. It is time to shape up boys. You have some major competition!

1. Chuck Bass

His sense of style, his ambition and devotion to Blair had us collegiettes falling head over heals for him. He may have been difficult at times (aka not telling Blair he loved her when he knew he did) but no one is perfect.

2. Nathan Scott

Nathan Scott captured all our hearts while chasing after Hayley James. The immature bad boy then grew up to be a mature, responsible husband and father that we always knew he could be.

3. Damon & Stefan Salvatore

Aside from being absolutely beautiful, these brothers each made amazing boyfriends to Elena in their own way. Damon was more of the badass, mysterious one but would do anything to protect Elena and keep her safe. Stefan is more sensitive and the boyfriend we always wanted. Who could blame Elena for wanting the best of both worlds?

4. Matt Saracen

Matt Saracen is everything a high school girl could want. He is smart, adorable and the quarterback of the best football team in Texas. He is ultimate teenage dream!

5. Ezra Fitz

The adorable quiet bookworm captured the heart of Aria Montgomery with his sweet devotion to her. There was no way Ezra could have been A, he was too good and too in love with Aria.

6. Derek Shepherd 

Although he is no longer with us, Derek Shepherd was the best doctor, friend, husband, and father. He always stayed true to the Post It note and valued his life with Meredith. How could Shonda kill him? We are still not over it. RIP Doctor Shepherd.

7. Ross Geller 

Although Ross had his quirks, his forever love affair with Rachel Green was the sweetest fictional romance ever. Even back in high school when her date almost stood her up, he was right there to take her. Sometimes the right one was there from the beginning. Let’s just forget about the whole “break” thing. At the end of the day, he’s her lobster and that is all that matters.

8. Chandler Bing

Every girl loves a funny guy and Chandler proved to not only be funny, but also be a wonderful boyfriend and future husband. He put up with Monica when she was being neurotic and loved her anyway. #relationshipgoals
