Admit it: your first “boyfriend” was totally a fictional character. Don’t worry, it’s nothing to be ashamed of! I had a huge crush on Legolas when I was nine, and that was just at the beginning of my affair with television and film. Since then, I’ve grown up surrounded by a variety of male characters created to appeal to me, each of them unique, inspiring and dedicated to making me love them. And it worked, for the most part; at least until I wised up to what was really going on.
After some dedicated research (i.e. watching shows and movies on my laptop instead of doing homework), I’ve come to a realization: some of the most popular male characters in recent history are total assholes, especially the ones we’re supposed to swoon over. Here’s a list of characters who would make the worst boyfriends ever, and why you should definitely stay away from them.

Chris had a striking distinguishing feature a generous shock of ginger hair (well, orange really) above a pale, heavily freckled face. His nickname was Tonic. This may seem puzzling but it can be explained. In Chris school days his nickname was, unsurprisingly, Ginger. At university, gradually, in the lazy way people have with nicknames, it became shortened to Gin. And Gin reminded people of gin and tonic .
