The Definitive Ranking Of The Men Of "The Vampire Diaries"

AKA, ten reasons TVD makes everyone so damn thirsty. Other than, you know, the whole vampire thing.

10. Matt Donovan

Like the little human that could, Matt's innocence and adorable can-do attitude seem to be the thing getting him through a life surrounded by vampires, werewolves and hybrids.

9. Elijah Mikaelson

After he proved himself a good guy, everyone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief when Elijah showed his face in Mystic Falls. We assume this wasn't just because he was likely to come save the day.

8. Mason Lockwood

The fact Mason didn't make more appearances in TVD will always be one of the show's greatest injustices.

7. Kol Mikaelson

The face so sweet it could fool almost anyone.

6. Alaric Saltzman

Heart. Still. Broken.

5. Jeremy Gilbert

From baby bro Jeremy in the early seasons, to buff, brooding Jeremy in the later, this face (and those arms) will always hold a special place in our hearts.

4. Tyler Lockwood

Each time Tyler disappeared from Mystic Falls, his absence was really felt. Well, the absence of his abs, at the very least.

3. Stefan Salvatore

Sweet Stefan. Ripper Stefan. Every Stefan in between - we'll take them all, thanks.

2. Niklaus Mikaelson

The original everyone wanted to hate, and that damn cheeky smirk that made it literally impossible.

1. Damon Salvatore

Oh, Damon. The bad boy with the blue eyes that we'd happily give our hearts to.
