> [@Cat\_Whisperer](#): > > I’m still on the fence about him (attractiveness-wise - I LOVE the show). I think I’d actually take the BBC’s Dr. Watson - he’s just adorable. I don’t want adorable in my men, though, what does that do for me? I want a MAN. But although I adore him to pieces I’d never want BBC Sherlock as my boyfriend. Look how he treats Molly. if he noticed me at all it would be to say “What are YOU still doing here?” I am still thinking about who my literary boyfriend would be, if I had my druthers. ---

Yes, but look how he treats Irene Adler. Still, I’d rather have BBC Watson than BBC Sherlock. **Mauvaise** - There’s enough Jamie to go around. Millions in print. StG ---

Yes, but she is THE Woman. I doubt any of us would be treated the same way. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/who-is-your-literary-boyfriend/646775.md?page=3)
