We don't really know why we find Daryl Dixon from "The Walking Dead" to be so attractive. He just is. Maybe it's his squinty gaze. Maybe it's his title as resident badass. Maybe it's those arms he's got. He's definitely a fan (and fangirl) favorite on the show. Many struggle with their desire for Daryl, and sometimes, he's just so sexy that we can't even handle it. Who knew that the dirty, sweaty, rough-and-tumble redneck would be the one we'd be fantasizing about? Here are some instances where the thirst for Daryl Dixon was beyond legit:

1. When he held baby Judith for the first time and our ovaries blew up all over the place:

*cries*

2. When he licked his lips and we needed to sit down and think about our lives for a while:

Such a simple action, yet such a sexy one.

3. When he comforted Judith while she was crying and then we nearly started crying:

He's surprisingly paternal and that's pretty sexy.

4. When he looked good as all hell smoking this cigarette:

Smoking is terrible but he looks so sexy doing it that we'll just have to make an exception.

5. When his arms were so ripped that they left us stupefied:

"Take me into your loving arms..."

6. When he got emotional and we pretty much screamed out, "LET US COMFORT YOU!":

When Daryl Dixon cries, we all cry.

7. When he took on the Governor's army all by himself and kicked butt:

"We have an army!" Um, we have a Daryl. And he's sexy.

8. When he got onto his motorcycle and made us feel things:

What we wouldn't give to be on the back of that bike with our ams wrapped around his waist...

9. When the wind blew through his hair and he looked dreamy AF and we were absolutely mesmerized:

Who else looks this sexy while standing in a corn field?!

10. When he did something as simple as shouldering his crossbow and still looked so damn fine while doing it:

"Saw you there and I thought, 'Oh my God. Look at that face...'"

11. When he did this and our thirst for him became unbearable:

Why do you do this to us, Daryl? Why?

12. When he carried Carol and we would have given anything to trade places with her:

All we want is for Daryl to come and carry us to safety.

13. Or when he gave Beth a piggyback ride and we became insanely jealous of her:

Why can't that be us?!

14. When he looked out with his bedroom eyes and we needed to leave the room:

Very thirst. Much desire. Wow.

15. When he brought Carol a flower and we couldn't even live with how unexpectedly sweet he is:

Rough on the outside. Ooey gooey on the inside. Yes.

16. When he did this and we were like, "*heart eyes times 500*":

We literally cannot even with how sexy this man is. Cannot.

17. When he showed just how protective he is of his group and we wanted nothing more than to fight zombies by his side:

We love you, Daryl. Marry us.
