11 Ways Simon Lewis on Shadowhunters Is #BoyfriendGoals

Television is known for creating the "perfect" boyfriends. The kind of guys who perform grand romantic gestures to get the girl or boy of their dreams. While those types of guys are great for the short-term, they are usually not the type of guy you'd like in real life.

Don't worry though because all hope is not lost when it comes to TV boyfriends. In fact, Shadowhunters is a show that has done an excellent job when it comes to creating men who are the perfect "boyfriend material" model.

All of the men in the Shadow World are unique and have qualities and features that make them very attractive. However, one vampire stands out above the rest when it comes to being the greatest boyfriend.

If you watch Shadowhunters online, you know Jace, Alec, Magnus, and Luke may possess some great qualities, but Simon exemplifies everything a boyfriend should be, all while being his wonderful self.

So let's sit back and consider all of the reasons why the scrappy nerd from Brooklyn is the be all, end all of TV boyfriends.

Also, make sure to let us know in the comments why you love Simon, or why you think another man from the Shadow World should be considered the epitome of #BoyfriendGoals.

1. He's Loyal

Loyalty is a quality every significant other should have, and Simon Lewis has it in spades. Simon cares about a lot of people, and he sticks by them even when they don't make it easy. He searched far and wide for Luke after Joceyln's death just to make sure his friend was okay. He's helped both Maia and Isabelle get through problems whether it be an ex-boyfriend or a yin fen addiction. The person he's most loyal too though is Clary, his BFFL. They've literally been through hell and back together and had to overcome a pretty awful breakup. They not only managed, but they continue to thrive as BFFs. That mostly has to do with how loyal Simon is to Clary. Whether you are facing a problem big or small, with someone as loyal as Simon by your side, any problem is manageable

2. He Will Never Eat Your Food

One of the worst things about long-term dating is when your significant other gets a little too comfortable and starts eating your food. With Simon as your boyfriend, you won't have to worry about that. He's not only a vampire but a vampire who can go out in the sun (aka a Daylighter). So, he can take you out for breakfast, lunch or dinner, and pleasantly watch you devour your meal as he sips on a cup of O-Negative. As long as you don't accidentally cut yourself with a knife while eating, you should be in for one hell of a romantic evening with a full plate of food just for you!

3. He's A Sight For Sore Eyes

It's safe to say two words when you first get a glimpse of Simon. Hubba hubba! How Clary managed to stay friends with Simon for so long without ever being attracted to him is a supernatural feat because he's a real looker. Whether it's his big brown eyes, his silky dark brown hair or his muscle toned body, he has plenty of physical qualities that make him irresistible. Jace may claim to be the ladies man on Shadowhunters, but it's clear that moniker belongs to Simon. He's dated the most women on this show, and one quick glance at his face and his physique explains it all!

4. He Will Always Be A Sight For Sore Eyes

Sometimes when two people have been in a romantic relationship for so long, both people start to change. Obviously, both parties are starting to age, and when two people get very comfortable with each other, they might let themselves go. However, neither will be the case with Simon. One of the perks of being a vampire is that you don't have to worry about aging. Simon will always have a youthful glow no matter how long the two of you are together! Simon also can't eat sugar or carbs, and since he's technically "dead" his body will always remain as is. So, you will never have to worry about him losing that six-pack, it will last for eternity!

5. He Gives Great Advice

Simon may get himself into a lot of trouble, he's been kidnapped like ten times, but he always learns and grows from these terrible things that happen to him. These unfortunate events have made him wise beyond his years. That's why he's always the guy his friends go to whenever they need a little guidance. The best part about Simon's advice is it never comes off as judgemental. He's always understanding and doesn't blame anyone for their flaws or mistakes. Despite having her brothers at the Institute, Isabelle almost always goes to Simon whenever she needs some advice. He played a small, but crucial role during her yin fen addiction, and made her feel loved and strong throughout her struggle. Unlike most, Simon always makes himself available to his loved ones to talk and more importantly, listen.

6. He's OK With Being In The Friend Zone

There's nothing worse than a pushy guy. Many men on TV have attempted to get from the proverbial friend zone to the "endzone." Those types of guys more often than not, are creeps. Even though Simon was in love with Clary since they were kids, he never once attempted to push himself on her. He treated her with nothing but kindness and respect and remained in the friend zone until he felt comfortable enough to share his feelings. The best part about it was even though a romance between them didn't work out, they stayed best friends because Simon put their friendship before any other needs or feelings he had. Even with Isabelle, Simon was instantly attracted to her but chose to be her friend over trying to have a physical relationship with her, and friendship with Simon was exactly what Isabelle needed. Up until now of course. #Sizzy4Ever

7. He Sings Like An Angel

There's a reason rockstar's are always getting so many girls and guys. That's because being able to sing is a pretty big turn on. As if Simon wasn't already gifted enough in the physical attributes department, the heavens above gifted him with an incredible voice. While his band names may not be for everyone (Rock Solid Panada will forever remain divisive), one thing is certain. Every time he opens his mouth to sing, people listen. His voice manages to be so soft, yet so rugged all at once. Imagine being serenaded by Simon on a regular basis ... talk about the perfect romance!

8. He Can Always Make You Smile When You're Down

Simon sometimes doesn't know when to shut up, and he may wind up putting his foot in his mouth every now again. Yet, more often than not this "talent" of his is used for good. One of the reasons Clary and Simon's friendship works so well is because he's able to pick her up when she's down. Clary and Simon were both thrown into this Shadow World head first and while they've both dealt with a lot, Clary's usually the one that ends up being way in over her head. Enter Simon. When Clary's mom died, Simon was the first person to put a smile on her face, all thanks to his charm and wit. He's hilarious, but also sweet. Just ask Clary, Maia or Isabelle, and they will all tell you that Simon is the man you go to when you need a warm hug and a smile put on your face. His soul is just that lovely and pure, despite the demon blood running through his veins.

9. He Ain't Too Shabby In The Sack

He may be a nerd, but Simon always seems to do pretty well with the ladies. Perhaps, a large part of that is due to his reputation in the sack. Simon's only been with a few women, but each woman always has a huge smile on her face by the end of their night with him. It might be because of his vampire abilities, but it's clear he knows how to keep those who choose to spend the night with him very satisfied. Just ask Maureen, who claimed their time in the sack together was "Pon Farr amazing." Whether you're into Star Trek or not, one thing is for sure, a night with Simon equals a night of absolute pleasure.

10. He's The King Of One-Liners

No one can deny Simon is hella funny. In every episode of Shadowhunters, fans can always look forward to hearing a witty or sarcastic remark from the Shadow World's favorite hunky nerd, no matter what dire situation he's in. The main reason Simon's one-liners are so endearing is that it shows how optimistic he can be. No matter how much danger he or his friends are in, Simon can always find a way to lighten the mood and make everyone around him smile, even his enemies. Whether it was him labeling himself the "Scrappy Nerd from Brooklyn," or comparing Alec and Magnus's kiss at Alec's wedding to the movie "The Graduate," Simon can always come up with the right thing to say, and that kind of non-stop hilarity is what makes him one of a kind.

11. He's Willing To Make Sacrifices For Those He Loves

Simon's always put those he loves ahead of himself. He put his hurt feelings aside after Clary kissed Jace when Simon and Clary were together. He continued to be her best friend and helped her whenever she found herself in a sticky situation. Most recently however was the huge sacrifice he made for his mother. He kept his family in the dark about him being a vampire and distanced himself from them even though he missed them dearly. Yet, Simon was dealt a rough hand and was forced to Encanto his mother and make her think that he died in an accident a while ago, just so she remained safe and protected. Simon exemplifies what it truly means to love someone, and he always puts other's needs ahead of his own.
