Oh, please. Endora was a bitch to Darrin because he was a bastard to her. If he’d had the sense Athena gave an ostrich he could have gotten along with her.
As for Uncle Arthur – ask him to stay to dinner. Get him to do some magic tricks. He’s funny as hell.
Actually, in high school I once did date a considerably-less-neurotic brunette version of Diane. There are quite a few girls of that type around (or at least there were in the 80s). You often find them on high school and college debate teams.
In any case, unlike other, I never really disliked Diane. For one thing, despite her WASPy background, she was too insecure to be convincingly arrogant. Also, there always seemed to be something a little sad about her–like she was a short step away from turning into a heroine in a Tennessee Williams play.
Eh - it would probably be a terrible idea, but I’d be willing to date the Six that starts the revolution that splits the Cylons. (Not Caprica Six - the one that freed the Centurions). In a sense, she’s a John Brown figure, bringing death and horror to particularly brutal slavers - I rather enjoy that. And she’s focused and functional in a way most Sixes aren’t.
Of course, she’d have me killed in an instant if she felt it necessary. But them’s the breaks.
I’ll also say this for Caine - when she’s actually happy, she’s probably charismatic as hell. There’s a reason she holds flag rank at her age, and that her crew is willing to march through hell for her.
Callie? Good gods, man, I wouldn’t frak her with your tool, let alone date her. She’s neurotic, clingy, whiny - sure, she was cool in the first couple seasons, but she went way downhill.
I think there’s a problem with your plan here, insofar as it ends with a horrible death.
True. Echo wouldn’t be so scary - but that’d be rape, of course, and I like to think I still have some semblance of a soul.
Sure, but not from me. I doubt there’s anyone so crazy that there’s not someone else crazy enough to date them, so I was just answering based on my own standards.
Oh, and since someone made a blanket statement that all of Whedon’s characters are too crazy, I wouldn’t see any problem with dating Kaylee or Zoe (if she weren’t already happily married, of course). Yeah, Zoe went through Hell in the war, but she came back out on the other side basically intact, and probably emotionally stronger. She’s got it together. And while I can see that Kaylee is somewhat eccentric, she’s definitely my kind of eccentric.
Miss Piggy
Hot? 
Lilith from Cheers
Light Yagami
L - hot, but always wears the same outfit. He owns nothing but jeans and white sweatshirts, and no shoes. Also, he lives on sweets. Can you imagine the dentist bills?
Any male in the Uchiha family, except maybe Obito, if he hadn’t died young.
Zoro Roronoa - any woman would end up neglected in favor of his sword collection.
If there’s a universe where that woman is considered hot, I don’t ever want to go there.
I imagine the age difference could be awkward as well.
As a straight guy this doesn’t really apply to me, but when I saw the thread title I expected the first 19 replies to be Dr. Greg House, at least based on the chatter from the wimmenfolk in the *House *threads.
I’m having trouble coming up with answers here, in the handful of shows I watch regularly the women characters are all pretty sane and datable.
How about the dim-witted piece of ass on Two and a Half Men, Kandi? But, if I were to be entirely honest with myself I would probably date the dum-dum even if I knew better.
Jessica Rabbit. Don’t get me wrong, I’d TOTALLY bang her, but anything long-term would be weird. I guess I’m just old-fashioned…
Jaime Pressley’s character on My Name is Earl
Annette Bening’s characters in American Beauty and The Grifters
I’d include the entire male cast of Death Note. Actually, you know what? Fuck it. Let’s just include the entire cast. Male OR female.
Jane on Coupling
Sally on Coupling
Susan on Coupling
Come on, you know she’s a clawing wildcat in the sack.
A clawing wildcat is a clawing wildcat in the sack but that doesn’t make it hot (not counting furries because they’re not people).
fap, fap, fap!
Gaius Baltar – smokin’ hot, but has a Cylon firmly entrenched in his headspace.
Nate Fisher – MAJOR commitment issues
Cameron from House: super hot, but has plenty of issues. In the first few seasons she’s a hypocritical goody-two-shoes; she makes plenty of mistakes and at the same time thinks she’s better than everyone else. She falls in love with people who need to be “fixed”, and she can’t get over her first husband. The scene in the fifth season ep. “Ugly” where she was standing in front of a mirror and agonizing over how to word an explanation of how she really isn’t in love with House made me wonder how the easygoing Chase could put up with her.
I’m on the fence about House himself; yes, he’s acerbic, cold, and self-destructive. But he also cares greatly for a few specific people; would he become a warm and overtly caring boyfriend, or just grab my ass and say sarcastic things?
