Listopia > Charmingly Eccentric Male Leads

Can be a love interest or a main character (although love interest would be preferable), just wrote male lead to simplify things.
From the doctor who-esque charismatic air head with a high intellect to the almost stoic with awkward social issues - all the lovable weirdos and untypical male leads. Humor is always welcome.
