Ah, the girl-focused love triangle. For generations, male and female audiences alike have lived for watching two dudes fight over a woman, and oftentimes it can seem like a choice between the lesser of two jerks. Given the option, we would have loved to see these popular heroines — from Greek mythology to ’90s TV — embrace singledom instead.
Helen, Paris, Menelaus (The Iliad)
Paris only wants Helen so he can brag to all his friends that he’s bagged the hottest broad – and rather than take the hint from her running off with him that their marriage might not have been the strongest, Menelaus starts a war so massive that it disrupts an entire civilization. Helen would have been better off playing the field a little while longer – we’re sure Ancient Greece would have thanked her for it.

Buffy did choose to stay single!
She didn’t pick Angel or Spike. She was cookie dough, baking and when she would be ready, some person could enjoy warm-cookie Buffy.
Also, that is some mess up, photoshopped picture. Joss would never let that image exist.
Damon, Elena, Stefan, The Vampire Diaries? Also anyone notice that 3 of these on the list included vampires? Maybe a girl’s life would be easier if they stuck to human boys :)
Cool picks for the most part, but, c’mon, Katniss/Peeta were epic! Besides, she chose freely, he never asked her to pick him.
