4. The Doctor IS "A Bloke," It's Best Not To Pretend Otherwise
There's this hilarious short from Series 5 called "meanwhile in the Tardis." Amy demands to know why the Doctor is so uninterested in her (which, in fairness: have you seen Amy? Those legs just go on forever...). The Doctor insists that he's like Gandalf, or Yoda: totally aesexual. Oh, go watch it, it's really funny. Amy fails to quite buy this, and tricks him into giving her a look at his past companions. All of whom are pretty young women. All of them, with an occasional hot fellow or a Wilf thrown in. Gandalf hung out with hobbits and eagles. The Doctor likes the company of pretty young women. N0t young men, or middle-aged women, or retirees who are still way younger than him. And not aliens who look nothing like Time Lords. Pretty young women. He's a bloke. In Amy's words, as she watches the slideshow: "Is that a leather bikini?"
