Which man from Pride and Prejudice do you just love the most? Personally, I love Bingley. I know I have just broken the conventional fan girl consensus, but Bingley is amazing, in my opinion, he is the ideal man XD What does everyone else think?

Knowledge is Power
Well, I guess I might fit the fan girl convention, but I love Darcy. He's dark, stoic, and quite in control of his emotions. He allows himself to feel love, but is quite rational about it. He is also a very difficult man and one that could keep a woman in her toes.
I'd like to see what keeping one 'in' one's toes is.
Seriously, I think I'll have to go with Darcy too. I see him as very introverted, but who wouldn't be if people only care about your money and are only nice to you because of that? Let alone the fact that you are ALWAYS surrounded by personnel who possibly go and tell the baker about your last escapades... I think Lost in Austen made a good point abou that aspect of life: there are people who can deal with that brilliantly and who don't care (like Bingley) and people who are not so good at it (like Darcy). But I think, left alone, he is able to feel very private and deeply loving feelings toward very few people.
I also see him as a shy and very intelligent man who is possibly at a loss why one should socialise with anybody to just prove a point, and cannot have conversation with just interesting people without the rest. A little like me really. I think that's why he went for Lizzy: because she has something to say, which he also alludes to in Netherfield when Jane is ill. A wife or nice girl is all well and good, but evenings with her outside the season will be ever so boring if she has nothing to say to you whatsoever, or, if she doesn't know about them, has not the intelligence to even try. And maybe the only thing they can do, like Mrs Bennet, is telling her hubby about her needlework, when he comes home from a ride or whatever in Darcy's case, Only airheads like that.
Man and woman must suit each other and probably Darcy would be very interesting and gratifying to me.
One has to laugh before being happy, because otherwise one risks to die before having laughed.
"Je crains [...] que l'âme ne se vide à ces passe-temps vains, et que le fin du fin ne soit la fin des fins." (Edmond Rostand, Cyrano de Bergerac, Acte III, Scène VII)
ofcourse Darcy ....
Bingley just don't have that character of one which u can depend on. I mean he listened to what Darcy has told him when he told him not to marry the girl he really loved..
"He is asleep. Though his mettle was sorely tried,
He lived, and when he lost his angel, died.
It happened calmly, on its own,
The way the night comes when day is done."
