The 90's/early 2000's cartoons have a very cherished place in the hearts of those who grew up with them. But what would happen if we envisioned what some of those characters would be like as college boyfriends? Well, in case you were curious, it would probably look something like this:
Dexter
Pros: You admire how intelligent he is and you find comfort in the fact that he is clearly going places after college (and will hopefully take you with him!) Helloooo stay-at-home-mom!
Cons: He can easily make you feel inferior to him, and is always running off to some secret place he never tells you about. (And unless you dig short guys...)
Doug
Pros: You find his quirkiness kind of endearing. He's a sensitive guy with some unusual hobbies, and that makes him special.
Cons: He's not confident enough in his own skin, and wants to be like other college guys. And sometimes his imagination keeps him in the clouds too long.
Arnold
Pros: He's extremely sweet, kind, and loyal. He's very sentimental and is always a good listener. He will go to any length to make you happy, and that just warms your heart.
Cons: Though sweet, he can seem very subdued. Sometimes even boring. He is also pretty clingy and moves too fast- especially after he finds out you like him-like him.
Rocko
Pros: You know he's not the smartest guy there is (see Cons below), but he makes you feel needed. You can let loose with him, because he loves to have a good time.
Cons: Like we said, he's not the most knowledgeable man on campus. He's pretty scatter-brained and can't seem to adjust to the college life.
Johnny Bravo
Pros: Dat bod. Yeah- he lifts. And he's actually a pretty good dancer. He makes you feel desired and will pull out all the stops for a night of romance.
Cons: You constantly catch him staring at and flirting with other girls. He can be super pushy when it comes to what he wants from you. Totally noncommittal.
Ash
Pros: He is very passionate about what he loves to do and puts his all into it. You admire his ambition and determination. Plus the fact that he always tells you, "I choose you."
Cons: His passion can quickly turn into something that consumes him. He's spending all his time focusing on a goal. He has to be the very best, and won't stop until he has it ALL.
Otto
Pros: His sense of adventure is unparalleled. He's athletic, but not a gym rat. And he's definitely got swag.
Cons: He has a tendency to overreact. And sometimes he seems a little toooo chill, leaving you feeling like you're too uptight (and you're totally not high maintenance!)
The Professor
Pros: He's an older man, so he's established. He'll take care of you and he really is a nice guy. And you're definitely getting an A in that college Chem class.
Cons: He already has three kids. And you could never live up to how important they are to him. Or to the whole town for that matter.
Which of these throwback cartoon studs is right for you?? ;)
