So these two are my pick - (Morpho, here) - although we suspect Seester of liking what we like, because that's how it usually works. (We're almost the same person, but with different quirks. And by different, I mean wildly varying. And by quirks, I mean things that make us difficult to love, despite our many charms. But the aforementioned charms are basically identical. We get it from our momma).
So why do I list Dr. House and Dr. Cox under a single entry? Clearly you've never watched either show. I, on the other hand, have watched enough of each to successfully diagnose both Wilson's disease and acute intermittant porphyria before the lead characters on two separate occasions. And House/Cox qualifies as a PiP candidate, breezing.
Why, you ask? They are not pretty, you say! There are only two criteria for this blog, and they are almost completely lacking in the first "P"! This is true. However you are forgetting that crucial second "P." Between them, they're way up there in the pain department - physical *and* emotional. And they have, you know, pretty eyes and whatnot. Enough to keep them in the game, anyway. Ratings below.
Subject(s): Morpho
Object(s): House/Cox
Prettiness: athletic physiques, big blue eyes...that's all I got.
Pain: House - Hoo boy. Lives with chronic pain from his nearly useless leg as a consequence of his refusal to have it amputated, emotionally damaged by lover's betrayal, gets punched or shot every few episodes for being a genius misanthrope. (Gotta love a strong man on his knees). Cox - abrasive and egomaniacal, but deeply passionate about saving lives. Suggestion of abusive childhood with lingering emotional scars. Rarely shows feelings, but when he does his vulnerability index is off the charts. Together, Cox and House share a base note of bad boy, middle notes suggesting damaged goods, and a lingering top note of homoeroticism that we find irresistable. (But that's another blog).

Stats: 3/10 for prettiness, 10/10 for pain (Cox brings the emotional pain, and House more than keeps his end up with the unremitting physical anguish. Add the tough guy veneer, and the result is exquisite).
Overall PiP score = 6.5
