Poor ole slayer. She really did not have a heck of a lot of luck in love did she? Perhaps with so many slayers out there she can find the time to meet a nice guy, one she doesn’t have to kick the shit out of at some point would be even better! Who out of the three main men in her life would she have had the best life with?
Lets have a scientific formula work it out!
Angel.Looks: 9/10
“Hello salty goodness”, and boy Cordelia was right, especially in the first few seasons when he was slender, dark and broody and damn right sexy. So he porked up during ‘Angle’ the series, but while in Buffy he was still young fresh and new.
Personality: 6/10
Man this guy was dull, a hero, but dull. I mean he did unspeakable horrors that he needs to atone for, I get it, but did he ever go over board with the brooding. Couldn’t he just have done a Briony and written a book? There is only so much damn self hate one can take. No wonder they decided to turn him evil, all that dreary “I’ve been a bad boy” crapola, and Buffy would have just steaked him to shut him up.
Lover Skills: 2/10
If he roots you, he will kill you…..not quite Don Juan material, although the foreplay could be fun unless he is a bit premature.
Did anyone else think that Angel having an orgasm, that would be the one moment of happiness to break the curse, would be a technicality the Gypsies could have taken into account? If you are putting a curse on the murderer of your people, don’t you think you would have made it a no loophole curse?
Buffy Compatibility: 7/10
They had a connection that lasted a good long time. They were honestly in love and that is just grand, but I am thinking that after a while the dear ole slayer would have needed someone to give her a long hard Buffing.
OVERALL: 6/10
Riley.Looks: 8/10
Now my partner, my hunk of man meat is a Riley fan. He goes for the Abercrombie looking boy. He was totally on board with Angel ‘til he got a little porky and old (I thought vampires were not supposed to age,) and then switched to Riley.
Personality: 5/10
I kind of get the appeal of Riley physically, but please, the boy could not deal with being with a woman who didn’t need him to protect her. He was jealous of Angel and was basically a big ole baby boy in diapers.
In a nut-shell he was a wet blanket, and there is something about army training that just emasculates you, that whole taking orders and not asking questions just kind of makes you a pre Suffrage meek slave girl.
Lover Skills: 8/10
They caused the spirits of teenage horniness to go crazy just from the intensity of their rumpy pumpy.
Buffy Compatibility: 3/10
Buffy needed a man to be there when she needed him, and to understand that most of the time she needs to be alone to face her destiny, Riley would never have been able to provide her with that (cue violins).
OVERALL: 6/10
SpikeLooks: 8/10
More of an acquired taste, but damn he is sexy. Nice tight body and heck I even lobe the hair. He had a real bad boy vibe about him. Not as cuddly as Angel and Spike, but just fine for those who like it rough. Plus you could slice cheese on his cheek bones.
Personality: 8/10
Sure he was evil, and was always trying ridiculous schemes to make money. Sure he couldn’t be trusted most of the time, and until he got a brain chip and soul he was dangerous, but boy was he ever fun. Another thing that always struck me was his capacity to love. He loved Dru with all of his being and he loved Buffy, with and without a soul. Besides he got on famously with Joy...and anyone who gets on with the parents is a keeper.
Lover Skills: 10/10
He and Buffy shook the foundations of a build to the point where it fell down on top of then, thus was the power and intensity of thier love making. We were all shocked when sweet little Spike hating Buffy did the 'ole un-zip and mount. Freaking hot!! Plus she handcuffed him to the bed in a later episode.
Buffy Compatibility: 7/10
He got a soul for her. He cried for her. The man loved her so much he was willing to do anything for her. He was able to be her only source of comfort post death. In all senses he would have been the perfect boyfriend, only Buffy did not love him. He could have offered her everything she needed, except love.
OVERALL: 8.25/10
So the un-biased winner is SPIKE!
Have your say!!

It seems I have this conversation on a daily basis (sometimes in my head... sometimes with the bf, with the tv... with random strangers who don't know what I'm talking about...)
And while Spike and Buffy clearly had the more "mature" relationship, I'm still always taken by the crushing romanticism of the Angel/Buffy arc.
And sometimes... only sometimes... when I think I should go for washboard abs over tall dark and brooding I just watch that horrible bathroom scene where Spike loses control and that (the R word) snaps me back.
OMG it's a dead heat!!
As for the Spike and the 'R' word....that was pre soul and when he was desperately in love and not thinking straight. Plus Buffy did dick him around something terrible. Not that I am justifying. But post soul Spike...definitely beats out Angel.
Agreed. I like my brooding hero too but....Spike wins out in the end.
I was a hardcore 'Spuffy' shipper way back in the day (hehe, still makes me giggle that I used that word and used it seriously.
I still think that, if they had been given more seasons, the Spike/Buffy relationship could have been explored in a much fuller way. Ah well, that is what fanfic is for.
You are back polivamp! And YAY for that!
They should have been together....I mean for the sex alone.
