"At this point, I almost think New Girl producers heard about how much we love Nick Miller&amp;#x27;s gross-hot vibe and are testing us with things such as, say, yellow velour jumpsuits. But you&amp;#x27;ll never win this standoff, Liz Meriwether and team! We love him more with every grumble. In fact, I daresay Nick Miller&amp;#x27;s cantankerous-seductive thing is inspiring us to see downer guys in a whole different light. Is it me, or are all the following men getting more appealing by the moment, even as they get crankier by the minute (time&amp;#x27;s a-tickin, and they need to eat so they can take their back pills)? Danny Castellano (Chris Messina), The Mindy Project His complaints about female pilots and dismissals of diagnosed addictions are woefully un-PC. But for some reason I just want to lure him back to my place by falsely claiming to own Archie Bunker&amp;#x27;s actual armchair. I&amp;#x27;m quite sure that would do the trick. Stan Beeman (Noah Emmerich), The Americans FBI agent Beeman may as well be Goofus and Gallant&amp;#x27;s third brother, Gruff, who thinks Gallant is a bit of a loose cannon. Yet whatever&amp;#x27;s working for Nina is also working for me. Max (Adam Pally), Happy Endings In terms of my being attracted to him, Max has two strikes against him: He&amp;#x27;s gay, and the further he gets from his couch/pigsty, the whinier he becomes. But I have fought off an 0-2 count to have a crush on him. Go figure. Ben Hoffman, The Ben Show With Ben Hoffman Ben Hoffman wears a plain black baseball cap and is sometimes mean to his dad. He&amp;#x27;s bad news! Stay away (so that I can have him). Deacon (Charles Esten), Nashville Deacon&amp;#x27;s first response to everything&amp;amp;#8212;including receiving a puppy as a gift&amp;amp;#8212;is a worried grimace. And now worried-grimaces and the leathery frown lines they create are steadily climbing my list of preferred physical characteristics. Men, start fearing life more and using anti-aging lotion less! (Yes, we know you use anti-aging lotion. We poke around.) Nathan Fielder, Nathan for You Nathan leads with his Canadian MBA, and in of six episodes, I think I&amp;#x27;ve seen him smile once, and only then in the course of deceiving someone. Who would ever want to go on a date with this guy? (Me. I would. I&amp;#x27;m mad at myself, but I would.) Marshall (Andre Holland), 1600 Penn Bill Pullman&amp;#x27;s harried press secretary is kind of a pill. His idea of kicking back is watching a French film with a beret on, which should be my cue to destroy him&amp;amp;#8212;but I strangely don&amp;#x27;t want to. In fact, I want to pretend to like the French film so we can hang out. What is happening? Don Draper (Jon Hamm), Mad Men Oh, right. This tight-lipped, insufferably tough-to-please smoker is how we got primed to yearn for grumps. I remember now. Who&amp;#x27;s your crotchety fake-TV-boyfriend these days?
