McVet or McDreamy?

Okay – confession time. I’m a huge Grey’s Anatomy fan. I like it even more than I did Melrose Place in the 90’s. I actually hold weekly Grey’s parties in my superhero pad and God forbid anyone who talks over any of the dialogue ... I might zap them with my laser blaster.
Anyhooo... at the moment, Grey’s favourite waif doctor Meredith is going through another romance dilemma. Only, this time, instead of being hopelessly in love with a married man and accidentally shagging her flatmate, she’s in the enviable position of being pursued by two gorgeous boys. McVet – aka hot Circle of Friends dude Chris O’Donnell and McDreamy – aka hot 80s star Patrick Dempsey.
What is a gal to do? Opt for the solid, dependable McVet and spend the rest of her days wearing plaid, drinking milk and going for long walks in the fresh air? Or, choose McDreamy, who will shag her senseless in the supply closet and then completely ignore her while he performs tricky brain surgery or gets back with his ex-wife?
In my 20s, I’m quite sure I would have gone for McDreamy without a moment’s hesitation. He’s great in bed, sexy and just that little bit emotionally unavailable and broken. In fact, many of my 20-something boyfriends fitted this description to a tee. It’s hard to believe now, but there was a time when I would have put McVet into the ‘too nice’ basket and smashed his poor tender, emotionally-available heart as I rode off into the sunset with McDreamy.
These days, now I’m into my more sensible 30s, I’d make a different choice. Dependable McVet would win out over the ER’s resident bad boy any day of the week. And why is that? Well, to be completely honest, I’ve so over the bad boy thing. I’m looking for father material, not a fling. For reliable, not racy…

*** So, how ‘bout you guys. McVet or McDreamy? Lust or long term? Tell me your choice!

    Honey, you're talking like any of us actually have a CHANCE with either of them. OK OK, I'll humour you. I'll take both with McSteamy as a side dish.

    I'll take the animal man please. RC, I think you may have been recharging your laser and missed the bit in the last episode where he pushed meredith up against a wall and pashed the life out of her. Hello cold shower.

    I do like a pash up against a wall. My last one was two weeks ago and he wasn't a vet or a doctor. Think it may be time to revisit the Hollywood.

    I did see that pash on the wall...but the jury is still out on whether McVet has a better bedside manner than McDreamy...mmm....makes for a nice mid afternoon daydream.

    Yep, definitely - that knee-trembling pash showed that McVet can be a bad boy in the bedroom and a nice guy everywhere else - i.e.dream man!

    Hey, at this point in time, yeah, I would take either! But I am with u RC, nearly hitting 30, gotta go the dependable, but after being in a boring relationship for 3 years, a bit of spark never goes astray! :)

    I think you should book a sexy hotel room, slather your long term love in ice-magic and get a bit of spark going...and that's an RC order!
