Datability Ranking of the Men Featured on 'The Gilmore Girls'
This is perhaps the most juvenile post I’ve ever written - ohh well! Since I just spent the past 6-9 months binge watching every episode of the Gilmore Girls I often found myself wondering -- Who would I want to date/marry if I were one of the Gilmore Girls?! It might SEEM easy to decide while you’re early in the Dean/Jess phase to pick one or the other, but when you’re watching the full story unfold, episode after episode, year after year, it feels much harder to decide with certainty. Well, I took some time and I've figured it out. Below is my official datability assessment of the Gilmore Girls men, based on watching all 157 episodes. (Note: I figured out that watching 157 episodes equates to roughly 7,245 minutes, or, 120 hrs 45 mins, or 5.03 FULL days of straight Gilmore Girls - what an accomplishment!)
The official datability ranking of all the (primary) Gilmore Girls men:
Dave Rygalski (I mean, right? Was so sweet/thoughtful/amazing to Lane back in the day. Also, so cute.)
Logan Huntzberger (Again, right? I don’t need to tell you why he’s easily crushable.)
Max Medina (Such a smart, sweet dude!)
Luke Danes (Love me some Luke, but boy would prob drive me a little nutty when he gets in his stubborn moods.)
Christopher Hayden (Chris is smart/hot/funny but that flakiness would prob be too much for me.)
Tristan DuGrey (Yes, this is 100% based on looks.)
Marty (MARTY! I was all about him until he was so odd in later seasons. Prob has some issues to work out.)
Dean Forester (Sorry #TeamJess, I’ve always been #TeamDean - which I do find a little surprising about myself, but I can’t help that I’m (almost) always drawn to the good guys!)
Jess Mariano (Only post-college Jess. I would never have been able to tolerate his youthful shenanigans.)
Richard Gilmore (Don’t hate! Richard’s a solid dude! Martinis + hanging at The Club all day? Doesn’t sound that bad!)
Jason Stiles (Funny-ish, smart - but too douchey to date long-term.)
Jackson Belleville (Jackson is nice, but I am 0% attracted to him.)
Zach Van Gerbig (Zach drove me NUTS. I think he’s okay looking but I just could not date him. He has virtually no substance.)
Taylor Doose (TAY IS CRAY. Also, he might be gay?)
T.J. (I shudder a bit at the thought of kissing TJ, Liz’s husband, because he’s so childish, and odd, but he is still not in absolute last place.)
Kirk Gleason (This has got to be universally agreed upon, right?)
Would love to hear how your datability lists compare! ;)
The Top 9. ;)
(Note: This is who I would date, not who I necessarily think Lorelai/Rory should date.)
