Hot characters who are nonetheless too odd (or outright nuts) to date.

Dr. Gregory House is the alpha and the omega of this concept! His name need not even be mentioned, it’s a given that he’s hot, but undateable.

I was going to say Kelly Bundy, too!

If I was a teenage anime cartoon girl, I would lust after James of Team Rocket. But there are problems - what IS his relationship with Jessie? Is he perhaps…gay? And he spends all that time and money (with Jessie) running after that yellow football, Pikachu, like it’s the holy grail…no, better forget it, even though he’s cute as blue haired anime boy could possibly be.

62

Bones. Hot as hell, but I can’t even watch the show she annoys me so much.

63

Theodore Bagwell of Prison Breask.

64

Yes.

Yes.

65

Joy Turner. This is the first person I thought of when I read the title. You win the thread!

66

Anyone fro Friends, Ursula from Mad About You, and Seinfeld.

In real life they would be unbearable.

67

This is the first time in a long time we’ve hada major difference of opinion. Lilith was way hot when she chose to be. She simply didn’t choose to be most of the time.

And yes, I know that hotness is as much about attitude as about looks. She could turn the attitude on and off like a faucet.

68

Depending on what you want from a dating relationship, she might be ideal. She’s capable of compartmentalizing to an amazing degree, so if she enjoyed sex with you she’d be happy to restrict it to that if you were.

69

Sure. She’s one of those fat girls who takes a lot of pride in her appearance and has a lot of confidence, so she’s not just a “typical pig.”

Unfortunately, her confidence goes up to 11 and ends up spilling in to crazy territory.

i would actually get along pretty well with elaine’s character i feel like… her dbag friends would be the only real thing that turns me off.

71

She is, however, a pig. More precisely, she is a pig made of velour. If hot has an opposite, it is that.

72

Another one: “Elle” from the first MiB movie. She’s got that whole Queen of the Dead thing going on…

73

Which is also why Miss Piggy is hot. But I’d still stay well away from her. She’s the “What are hot people wearing this year?” kind of hot, not the “I’d hit that” kind of hot.

74

Now imagine using that description to try and set up her with your best friend.

“What’s she like?”

“WASPy, but too insecure to be convincingly arrogant. Something a little sad about her - like she’s one short step away from turning into a heroine in a Tennessee Williams play.”

Yup, the men are just breaking down her door.

75

But only with her hair down and mouth shut.

76

Mouth shut? Not necessarily.

77

Jane and Sally, certainly, but Susan? Susan always seemed pretty squared away to me and easily the most normal, hangup-free character on the show (relatively speaking, at least).

I don’t doubt we would drive each other insane, but that’s because she has that whole “neat freak” thing going, and I’m a slob, but I can’t blame her for that. If anyone on that show is considered marriage material, it’s Susan.

78

Bebe Neuwirth is a GORGEOUS woman, and even the most severe stylings as Lilith couldn’t completely hide that - not that ‘severe’ is inherently anti-hot, either.

79

OK, datable/undatable for the women of Whedon.

Buffy: Totally undateable. Mopey, angsty, died a couple times. Unless you’re, you know, an undead corpse that has clawed its way out of the grave to feast on the blood of the living. Then go nuts.

Faith: Need I mention the Xander-choking incident? Undateable.

Dawn: Dude, she’s like, 15! What’s wrong with you?

Anya: Vengeance Demons are by definition undateable. A female who spends 1000 years punishing men for their mistreatment of women, and you’re going to date her.

Tara: Datable. Unless you’ve got a penis.

Cordelia: She’s either a teenage harpy, or being driven insane by visions, or impregnated with various demonspawns. Undateable.

Fred: Mmmmm. Oh, yeah. Datable.

Lilah: Evil may taste good, but don’t date the evil.

Do I really have to add that all the female vampires, from Drusilla to Darla to Harmony are totally undatable?

Willow: She just needs the right man. Oh, my sweet Willow, I forgive you for turning evil and trying to destroy the world, 'cause you’re just that cute. I’ll be…well, you know.

Susan’s the sanest of the bunch, but that’s not saying much. I don’t remember the exact details, but wasn’t there an episode where Steve had some minor lie that started spinning out of control, and Susan seemed to take a lot of joy in finally catching him out. Jealous, too, if I remember correctly.

On the American remake, all three of them were hot enough it might almost be worth it.
