It’s Raining Men Whether they star on your TV screen, in your dreams or your fantasies the small screen has had a big impact on the types of men we like, dislike, love and lust after. These days there seems to be a man for every mood and taste, a virtual ice-cream shop full of boy flavours. So let’s move to the front of the counter and have a little taste test shall we? The Alpha Male-Dean Winchester is our bad boy. He is fiercely protective over his family and loyal to the core with a gruff exterior that will make you want to fix is poor tortured soul. Although he is unfortunately taken this season, if you know your way around his car and are willing to learn how to serve cheeseburgers while swinging around a stripper pole, if anything happens to Lisa his current flame you will definitely be next on his list although you might have to fight the rest of the girls in line. Catch Dean on Supernatural at 21-30 Mondays on MNET series The Sleaze- Charlie from two and half men epitomises the very descriptive term for some men; Dog. He’ll chase anything with a skirt including your best friend your sister and your mom. Any long term relationship he is in runs more along the lines of physical than emotional especially since his heart is not located in his chest but rather a little lower below the belt. This is the guy that his own mother doesn’t approve of let alone yours so I suggest running in the opposite direction if you see one of his wondering hands coming your way. Laugh out loud with Charlie on Two and a Half Men at 20-00 Wednesdays on MNET and 21-30 on Mondays on SABC3 Prince Charming-The good guy is the man you want to take home to mom and show off to your friends while discreetly rubbing their noses into the fact you found the perfect guy. Who better to play the part than Travis Lane Stork not only is he a former bachelor in reality TV dating show The Bachelor but he’s a doctor with a sense of humour and a sex god body to boot, or should we say booty. He isn’t just thee one he’s the man one you dreamed about when you were a little girl, the guy your mom prayed you would marry. To top it all off this guy is real, not a fictional character so that means there is a 75% chance, considering this is a reality TV show made in Los Angeles, that he really will live up to expectation. Doctor love stars in The Doctors everyday on MNET series. The Romantic – Ned is the quiet guy that bakes pies in his shop, a humble occupation but he follows his heart, a heart that is as soft as the filling of his apple pie. Ned gives Charlotte aka Chuck, who he’s been in love with since he was just a boy, his life giving touch after she dies and since she would end up back in the grave if he touched her a second time and this time for good Ned cannot touch the girl he loves but he finds other ways to touch her heart and in the end ours too. He builds roof top gardens, speaks tender words and thinks of nothing but Chuck’s happiness, plus there was that incident with the plastic wrap and fake hand, which isn’t as kinky as it sounds but just as entertaining. Ned is the guy who will cook you dinner and find cute thoughtful gifts to let you know just how special you are. Let Ned warm your heart on Pushing Daisies at 23-30 on Tuesdays on SABC3. The One Night Stand- Grey’s Anatomy may be good entertainment but it’s sort of like Baywatch for girls, which brings us to our next flavour of the small screen Mark Sloane. We all need a hall pass right? That one guy we just need one weekend with to get him out of our system and god knows he wouldn’t stick around any longer. Mark Sloane is nothing short of the doctor of lust, nick named McSteamy for his Greek god physique, one cannot help but feel like he is undressing you with his eyes every time he looks at you, and oh the promises that wicked smile makes is pure temptation. Mark saves lives and breaks hearts on Grey’s Anatomy every Monday on MNET at 19-30 The Gay Best Friend- Jack fulfils the role of the perfect companion to every woman with a repertoire of stinging wit to cat scratch your bitchy enemies and a stylist eye to keep you looking hot to trot. He’ll make you laugh when you want to cry especially because he doesn’t want your makeup to run. Camp, cheeky and he won’t let you leave the house less than perfect especially if you’re hanging out with him. Now that’s a guy who adds value to your life. Get some quip tips from Jack on Will and Grace, double episodes at 11-00 and 18-00 on Sony everyday The Comedian- Andy Sandberg is the guy that will keep you laughing through the best and worst of times whether he’s being exceedingly silly or spoofing your favourite music video. With his slightly dopey smile and naughty little boy eyes you always feel like there is a practical joke just around the corner. Every girl in the world when describing her perfect man says she wants him to be funny; well this guy more than fulfils that criterion. Sandberg performs on Saturday Night Live at 21-30 on Saturdays on MNET series. The Workaholic- Host of American Idol Ryan Seacrest is called the hardest working man in Hollywood with his DJ, producing, hosting and various other endeavours. He may be constantly in the studio, jet, and office etcetera but remember he’ll be keeping you in Jimmy Choo’s. Not only does he have style that would make the best metrosexuals green with envy he is also the ambitious and funny nice guy who woos and enchants live audiences everywhere and for bonus points he will also introduce you to tons of celebrities. With a sexy confidence and a fabulous smile Ryan will keep the female audience voting just sometimes not for the singers. Watch Ryan work the audience on American Idol on Sundays at 16-30. The Playboy- With one-liners as smooth as satin sheets and his gold plated charm Chuck Bass is almost irresistible. With old school Bogart swagger he’ll woo you on private planes and dinners in Paris, adorn you with diamonds and send you exotic flowers when he’s been bad. His wandering eye can be a problem but as long as you keep him on his toes and keep him wondering what comes next this Lord of the Manor will play your game. Chuck graces Gossip Girl fans with his presence on VUZU 20-30 on Wednesday.
