Angel. definitely Angel, hands down. He has that mysterious broody thing going on. Plus he'a tall and handsome. Very attractive. Also, he wasn't really a drunken Irishman in the sense that he's an alcoholic. He was rebelling against his father by drinking, partying and sleeping around. I also like Spike when they moved him to Angel. He was funnier their. And lastly, Angel and Kate were never together, they went on one date that turned really bad.

[loveisbeautiful]

Him and Cordelia were never really together either, but they had romantic interest in each other. As did him and Kate, that's why I put her.

Out of all the male characters in the show, Giles was without a doubt my favorite. Followed by Wesley (although not as he was portrayed in Buffy, but the character he became in later seasons of Angel), followed by Spike, followed by Xander, followed by Angel. The others in the list were not even a consideration as far as I'm concerned.

[WeaponZero]

Oh sorry Oz in between Xander and Angel

[ConnieS]

Spike was probably my favorite because of his natural sense of humor/ability to make the audience laugh - which was a nice change from the intensity of some scenes. I also like how he allowed his "humane" side to show through when interacting with Dru. But I didn't like when he almost forced himself on Buffy in one of the later episodes.

Giles and Xander also had their humorous moments, which was endearing.
I liked Angel but I didn't like Angelus - no, no, no. I can understand why the gypsies put a curse on the guy! 😄

Actually, the whole cast was a great ensemble (women and men) - which is probably why the series is still so popular. Thank the good Lord above for DVD's. 😌

I watched more of Angel than Buffy but I would pick Spike and Wesley (when he was a badass in Angel).
Plus Angelus was fun but he was also a mass murderer and one of the bloodiest creatures of all time so he probably doesn't count. Still had a wicked sense of humour though.

[Reddr]

Angel. I use to watch that show just because of Angel. It was like my version of porn when I was a pre-teen. He's also the reason I started watching Bones lol.
Riley wasn't bad either.

[thedevilwithin]

I'd like to answer this through a game of kiss, marry or kill.
Kiss: Angel and or Spike
Marry: Oz
Kill: Riley

[LittleSally]

SPIKE, GILES AND OZ!

God!

Love those guys... =)

[ChocolateCinderella]

Spike... Yes, that bad boy just gets me everytime, he is Buffy's true love in my opinion...

[Anonymous]

"but he was really the first slayers son"

No... he was the son of the second slayer Spike killed, neither of which is anywhere near being the first slayer.

[Opinion Owner]

Anyway Spike was my favourite.

[Opinion Owner]

Unless you meant the first son of a slayer? You could have worded that better.

[loveisbeautiful]

You know why I started writing theses television takes? Aside from the fact I like these shows, I thought "these are easy to write and there's no way I could screw this up. Which means no one will pick on me and make me feel stupid". Guess I was wrong in that thinking, you're now the second person to correct something extremely minor and make feel dumb for no reason. I give up.

[Opinion Owner]

I wasn't picking on you or aiming to make you feel stupid, it's just the first slayer is in an episode of Buffy, and Robin Wood is certainly not her son. When I first read it it sounded like that's what you were saying. I don't see why people should be bothered so much if somewhat points something like this out, I wasn't being rude and I like the take.

[loveisbeautiful]

Sorry if I misunderstood, I just always have people nit picking at me for everything and it becomes frustrating. I met that Nikki Wood (the suppose first slayer, that Spike killed), was Robin Wood's mother.

[diarrhea]

No Gunn? Or Connor? Or Lorne? They were there a lot more than most of these guys.

[loveisbeautiful]

They were in Angel, this is about Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I think the title pretty much summed it up.

[diarrhea]

Sigh yeah I dunno how I could miss that, my bad. I'm gonna go with early seasons Spike.

[John_Doesnt]

I'm not into dudes, but Seth Green is pretty funny. He created Robot Chicken and he does the voice of Chris on Family Guy.

[Aeon_Flux_21]

Graaaaaaaaaaaaaa! I hate that show, Hate all the men in it, hate all the females. Damn show should never have existed. I rage when I see anybody speak of this annoying show.

[lebcrayz]

ANGEL!!! i have a man crush on that guy no homo lol

[Anonymous]

What's with all the vampire movies anyway? I never got that

[loveisbeautiful]

It's not a movie, is a television show.
