Just sit back, scroll through our candidate types, and let us know which type of FROS appeals to you:
Candidate #1:
He’s cultured but can be ruthless. A man of great charm . . . when he wants to be. Candidate #1, our MR. DARCY FROS, may be a difficult man to get to know, but under his coldness, lies a heart waiting to know love:
Candidate #2:
He’s a master of industry, a successful man about town, but a crusader at heart. He’s able to dance the waltz to perfection and knows all of the best places in town, when he’s not commandeering boardrooms and taking over companies with his brilliant strategies. Candidate #2, BUSINESSMAN FROS, is used to being in charge, but with the right woman, the sky’s the limit:
Candidate #3:
He’s a scamp, a rule-breaker, who will sweep you off your feet, only to leave you heartbroken. Though you know the danger of flirting with Candidate #3, PIRATE FROS, you’re sure he’s well worth it:
Candidate #4:
He’s big, he’s burly, he’s a wildman on the field and off. You know his value when he’s in the arena, and accept he’ll be hard to tame out of it. Candidate #4 is SPORTS FROS:
Cnadidate #5:
He’s a man of few words and many actions. You know where he stands on everything . . . except where his heart belongs. This man will fight you for every glance, every touch, and every word . . . and when all is said and done, the woman he loves will know it. Welcome, Candidate #5, our BOLD RULER FROS:
Candidate #6:
An international playboy with nerves of steel and a cold eye for his enemies, FROS Candidate #6 is a man of charm, with a lop-sided smile that will capture your heart and your imagination. He’s a man of dark secrets and massive charm, welcome our final candidate, our INTERNATIONAL MAN OF INTRIGUE FROS:
So, which FROS will YOU choose as your favorite?
Go Sparta!

Sports FROS! ***sigh***
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 9:04 am.
I’m good with 2 or 6. Our nephew is Nigel Sade who is an artist and who looks like #3. Guess that makes me immune to #3. I noticed there was no country guys….George Strait.
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 9:10 am.
Sandi, I just looked up your nephew. You weren’t kidding that he is rocking the Jack Sparrow look. Fabulous that you are related to him!
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 9:30 am.
Yep, he does look like our man Jack, might even have a bit of the calculated crazy of Jack too.And he is a good artist, I have some of those in my family also.
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 11:58 am.
Dear God, I am expected to pick one???? Can I pick them all and rotate on any given day?? LOL! This one was SO worth the wait this morning
Yes definitely, I’ll have one of each please
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 9:24 am.
This is way too hard! I like them all! Rather than just pick one, I’ll put them in order:
Mr. Darcy
Bold Rule
Pirate
International Man of Intrigue
Sports
Businessman
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 9:29 am.
#1 is okay but I am a bit of a sucker for Mr. Sexy Bum AKA Antonio Banderas (I’m referring to his role in Original Sin where you see his butt . . . well I’m pretty sure it’s his butt but knowing my luck it was a body double).
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 9:39 am.
Yes Antonio is very nice indeed! Ah let´s hope it´s his behind. I don´t wanna hear anything different
!
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 3:20 pm.
For me it’s #3 all the way. There’s just something about a badass pirate or Johnny Depp and when you combine the two oh boy look out. I’m not a huge sports fan or a fan of business men but #5 also looks hot too.
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 9:42 am.
AACK! How am I expected to pick? They are all beautiful but I think I have to go with Bold Ruler as my #1. I just can’t get enough of a man who will fight for you.
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 9:47 am.
Candidate #6!
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 9:49 am.
#5 and #6
Yummy
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 9:50 am.
Mine is #3… love those bad boys
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 9:53 am.
Can’t choose one.
#3-Pirate
#1-Mr Darcy
#5-Bold Ruler
I wonder what a blend of all three would be like. Hmmm
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 10:04 am.
Bold Ruler rules… but how I am suppose to choose between Mr. Darcy and International Man of Intrigue?Karen, we need a tie breaker FROS!
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 10:18 am.
Oh, this is fun. Nice twist on FROS!
#1 – Mr Darcy FROS of course
#5 – Bold Ruler FROS
#4 – Sports FROS minus the wildman (a/k/a narcissist) element
Karen, looking forward to your answer.
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 10:21 am.
I’m with JenG, how can I pick just one?! I will take them all and have one for everyday of the week and 6 on Sunday.
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 10:24 am.
We definitely need a like button on this page!!! LOL
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 11:06 am.
I think #1 with some #2 and #5 would be just right for me. What a way to start a Sunday! Thank you Karen.
GO PACK!!!
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 11:40 am.
Number one is mine, that’s it, end of story… but um, if he needs to go to Pemberley for a visit, then runner up number six is mine, that’s it, end of story.
Lois
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 11:52 am.
I cannot be an either/or person, especially before my first cup of coffee. I lean more towards #3, I have no family members who look like him. #5, leather loincloth, yep! #6, I do like a well aimed pistol.
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 12:02 pm.
I think I will have to go with bold ruler number 5 but then again if he’s not available I will always take the sports guy to….. Happy Sunday!
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 12:05 pm.
Ah! I can’t decide between #1 and #5… Colin Firth and Gerard Butler. Mmmm… both so delicious!!
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 12:22 pm.
Ack! I just went into sensory overload! Whew, that was an awesome surprise when I clicked over this morning, Karen. I vote first for Mr. Darcy Fros, yum. But International Man of Intrigue kinda does it for me too. Can we combine them, and get Regency International Deadly Spy Fros? Whoops! Meltdown….
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 12:29 pm.
All of the above with the exception of Mr. Sport Fros, this one depicted is not my idea of a FROS man…
But top of the list would be MR.DARCY hands down….I just got a dose of warmth racing through my body and it was from the hot cup of tea I just too a sip of…
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 12:39 pm.
After much debating and going back and forth on it, I chose #1 Mr. Darcy, #5 Bold ruler, and #6 International Man of Intrigue.
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 12:40 pm.
#1, #5 and #6 I am so with you on those choices Janae.
I have posters of #6 on my wall at home to drool over.
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 2:18 pm.
I like candidate #5- I like the look of a man who can take care od business and then come home and take care of his woman.
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 12:50 pm.
It’s tough to decide, isn’t it? I’ve been mulling it over since I posted this little survey and I’m STILL not 100% sure.
I *think* I like #1 best . . . but then I do love a good pirate so maybe I should say #3 — I love those scamps . . . but then a man who handles power with grace makes me think maybe I should go for #5 . . . and then–ARGH! This may be TOO HARD!
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 1:04 pm.
1 and 3 for me please! Mmmmm I am in heaven Thanks Karen
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 1:17 pm.
Hmm. Six days in a week. Six choices. And on Sunday SHE RESTED !! No problem!
BUTT, if I had to choose, NUMBER FIVE, baby, all the way. Gerard Butler as Leonidas STILL rocks my world!
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 1:31 pm.
LOL! That’s the way to do it!
Posted on December 5, 2011 at 8:57 am.
Mr. Darcy
Mr. Darcy
Mr. Darcy
Mr. Darcy
Mr. Darcy
Mr. Darcy
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 1:52 pm.
I’m with you all the way… I like the 2005-ish version of P&P, that Mr. Darcy is the hands-down winner!
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 2:51 pm.
So that means you vote for … uhm … Mr. Darcy?
Posted on December 5, 2011 at 8:58 am.
I have to say 3 and 5… Body wise 5, face wise 3…. lol
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 1:55 pm.
No question Mr. Darcy all the way. Didn’t even have to look at the others. I have a t shirt that says I <3 Mr. Darcy
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 1:55 pm.
Oh Mr. Darcy – you are the man for me!
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 2:00 pm.
My heart will always belong to Mr. Darcy! He is everything a woman could want. Just because you can’t see the pectoral muscles or his other fine attributes, that is icing on the cake. They are there but only for his lady love to see.
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 2:00 pm.
#5 all the way for me
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 2:03 pm.
Mr Darcy, forever and ever.
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 2:05 pm.
#1!!! Without a doubt!
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 2:05 pm.
I vote for Michael Shanks (Daniel from Stargate SG1) or Richard Dean Anderson (from MacGyver) as our Scientist contenders.
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 2:06 pm.
Like some of the others, I can’t pick one! However, I will add to it, and then line them up so I can rotate them one a day, LOL
Here is my addition-

1
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 2:08 pm.
Definitely #6. I’m a sucker for a man who looks that good in a tux–or without. Remember the beach scene in Casino Royale?
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 2:20 pm.
I think I am going to have to go with #2 first then #3.
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 2:21 pm.
I have to go with…..BOLD RULER FROS.
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 2:35 pm.
Mr. Darcy Fros. of course!!
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 2:44 pm.
All of the above and in the order they are listed, minus the slimy pirate dude, of course (did you honestly expect me to choose only ONE?).
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 2:49 pm.
I have to go with Businessman FROS. But Johnny as Pirate runs a close second. Even when he prances around he’s sexy. LOL
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 2:55 pm.
Gimme a clean cut Sports guy love SEP’s Chicago Stars and Rachel Gibson’s Seattle Chinoooks. Otherwise, I’ll take International Man of Intrigue.
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 3:02 pm.
Sorry, but has to be Mr. Darcy all the way! (But Gladiator guy ain’t too bad, either)
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 3:12 pm.
No doubt about it, it´s absolutely Mr Johnny Pirate Depp!!!!
I love love love Johnny Depp ! *happy sigh*
And there is no one who can do a Jack Sparrow like he does.
In the movie Chocolate he´s also very yummie looking.
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 3:17 pm.
Hands down, Mr. Darcy!
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 3:38 pm.
Gotta be #1 – Mr. Darcy. Love a man you can unwrap like a christmas present – start with the cravat
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 3:41 pm.
I’ve got to go with number 1 – yes it’s Mr Darcy every time!
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 3:43 pm.
Everyhing about #1, but with #6′s body.
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 4:17 pm.
Sorry, I meant #5′s body. Sorry, Daniel.
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 4:22 pm.
I think I have issues. I honestly see no appeal in any of them. I LOVE Captain Jack Sparrow as a character, but I don’t think he’s hot.
In a way, I don’t see any appeal in looking at pictures of hot guys. I kind of have to see them in “motion”, if that makes any sense.
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 5:18 pm.
Can I just have the real Gerard Butler and call it a day?
mroawrl!
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 5:25 pm.
I just can’t resist Gerard’s stomach lickable abs as my first choice,plus, he really rocks the tiny costume!
Flirting with danger and Johnny Depp is a close second, he has such a timeless sex appeal, must be the soulful eyes.
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 7:15 pm.
Very torn, but I’d have to go with Bold Ruler FROS, followed by Sports FROS, followed by Mr. Darcy FROS, followed by…you get the idea~
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 8:59 pm.
While they all look great, none of them will help with the #$%^ decorations…I need a little Nate Berkus today who will turn my ordinary living room in to a #$%^ winter wonderland. #$%^ for good measure.
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 9:17 pm.
Well I fell in love and married the sports guy (a great deal darker than the one in your photo) So I’ll stick with him. Love the scramp too. Well then there is Mr. Darcy uhmm… Thanks for all the great men. . . variety is good for the brain. That is why I read the great books of romance.
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 9:59 pm.
I’ll take #6 and then #5 for dessert!
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 9:59 pm.
Bond, James Bond would be #1 then Businessman, Christian Bale would be #2 then my man Adam Archuleta (#31 from the St Louis Rams) would be #3
my sports FROS
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 10:32 pm.
King Leonidas!
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 10:59 pm.
Well plunder my booty and blank me on the plank. Gotta be #3 for me mateys.
Posted on December 4, 2011 at 11:37 pm.
Umm… where’s the Mutant FROS??
Posted on December 5, 2011 at 1:31 am.
LOL! I can see that I missed a few categories. Hopefully, I’ll find the good example of a Mutant FROS next time!
Posted on December 5, 2011 at 9:00 am.
I just figured you kept Wolverine FROS all for yourself… LOL…
Posted on December 6, 2011 at 8:23 am.
MR DARCY for me thank you. SWOON!!
Posted on December 5, 2011 at 3:38 am.
I think I’ll take one of each please…..
Posted on December 5, 2011 at 10:23 am.
Good gracious, what a choice. Maybe to be politically correct I should pick the one I married.
Or not.
I’d like a combo, please. The Bold Ruler-Sports FROS.
whew.
Posted on December 5, 2011 at 12:07 pm.
Can we make Gerard Butler into Mister Darcy? I’ll vote for that combo.
Posted on December 5, 2011 at 1:13 pm.
I’ll go for #7 – Sexy Australian that can sing, dance and act and looks great in anything. Any idea who that may be???
Posted on December 5, 2011 at 1:34 pm.
Definately Johnny Depp!
Posted on December 8, 2011 at 11:36 am.
I’ll skip the Sports FROS. That leaves one for each day of the work week. Guess I’ll have to find my own on the weekends. lol
Posted on December 9, 2011 at 8:46 pm.
