Friends: The Male Characters, Ranked By Their Romantic Partner Potential

Falling in and out of love was routine and most of the friends had a penchant for dating people who were desperately wrong for them. So exactly how good or bad romantic partners did the quirky male characters make?

Although the central male protagonists are of course Ross, Chandler, and Joey, the other men on the show would also rank fairly high when it comes to romantic partner potential.
