Attention Gentlemen!

Here's a little list of movie characters you can model yourselves on. Trust me, these are the kind of guys ladies are looking for. Pick one or a little from each; either way, you'll be in good shape. (Please note that most of the traits I mention for each character all these gentlemen share. They're all important and they do go together) Hopefully there are lots of guys reading this.

1. Arthur Clennam from Little Dorrit - Sensitive and manly, kind and hardworking, and with an amazing walk. Honestly, what could be better?

2. Fitzwilliam Darcy from Pride & Prejudice - Matthew MacFadyen or Colin Firth, take your pick, though I must say my own preference is MacFadyen's version.

3. George Knightley from Emma - Perfect for an Emma who, being intelligent, emotional, and bossy, needs someone firm and mature.

4. Frederick Wentworth from Persuasion - His most important trait is his steadfast devotion. We ladies fall for it every time.

5. Colonel Brandon from Sense and Sensibility - Quiet and reserved, but deeply passionate and loving. Humble and self-sacrificing. And carrying your woman five miles in the pouring rain to save her life really isn't a bad idea either.

6. Aragorn from the Lord of the Rings - Perhaps a little more resolution and purpose, but you get the idea. The kingly hero is never a bad person to imitate.

7. Samwise Gamgee from the Lord of the Rings - I know, this one may seem odd. But Sam's loyalty is so unflinching, and his love is so deep, that any woman worth her salt would say yes immediately.

8. Alex Wyler from The Lake House - Alex is creative and intelligent. He's also fights for what he wants despite the obstacles - even if one of those obstacles is time.

9. Bob Rueland - Above all, Bob is a family man. He likes being with his girlfriend's family, he joins them as he should.

10. Robin Hood as portrayed by Errol Flynn - *swinging on a vine to a tree branch" Welcome to Sherwood, my lady! Need I say more?

11. Lucius Hunt from the Village - Lucius is a visionary. He is not merely content with life. He knows things can be better and thus wishes to make them so.

12. Maximus from Gladiator - In this last slot, you can really put most of the characters guys think about emulating. You know: Jason Bourne, The Saint, Andre Marek (from Timeline), and all the superheroes. It's the fighter category, which is very, very important.

Don't worry, I won't pick on you guys. Soon I'll enter a list of female characters who girls should try to imitate.
