This is mostly a question for the ladies but guys can answer that too if you want or just change it for the most interesting.

My favorite and most attractive is his self assured version, the cocky ultra self confident House who is always right and show us he is a natural leader but showing some glimpses of heart like in Euphoria, Three stories, Failure to communicate, Frozen and Fetal Position.

Its crazy how many people say people like House because he is wunded and we want to help him and fix him which is not my case. I like him much more because of how much of a genius he is,i like his sense lf humor and still once in a while he shows he cares for his patients and doing the right thing.

I quite almost disliked the wonded extremely flwed part of the character, i wished we would have never seen the effects of his adiction to vicodin or i could have easily lived without a single whitedrawl. I wished they would have never made a big deal out of his addiction.

I liked the House that had confidence in his ability with the sharp wit but not too harsh. The House that had a kind of humanity and was reasonably good with people without losing his edge.Like you say the moments he can help his patients beyond the medical side.

I didn't have a problem with him having a crisis now and then but not the kind of story arcs that took so much out of him.

Though i never thought he was really thst harsh except for Autopsy, she was 9 years old it wasn't fair they way he talked to her or how cynical he was towards the whole situation of thinking he she was fake or saying i won't go and celebrate a kid just because she has cancer.

But it was the only moment when i thought he went a little too far.

I didn't find him too harsh with her actually I felt she could only really show how she really felt with House and Chase. The other adults she had to act brave because they expected that of her. When he went into talk to her alone he took it down a few pegs. I know most adults would have taken a different approach but he was leaving it up to her.It was just different from Wilson who took the bravery at face value but didn't think she should have a say in what was happening. I would be somewhere in the middle I guess

I think it's more his general gruffness that in real life would have to be toned but overall I think it's more amusing than anything.

There are times he did seem to go a bit far with the kid in Ugly and the husband in Sex Kills. But I also think who else but Hugh Laurie could get away with some of the lines they wrote for House!

I understand that House still wanted to know what she wanted but he also went to see her because hevwanted to see if she was really that brave or just was faking to impress everyone else.
Remember how all were very sweet towards her and went to say goodbye but House didn't want to actually he mocked them all for acting as fans of the kid which is quite harsh and his resistance to hug her i was like how could he not be moved by her.?

And yes his treatment towards the kid in ugly was pretty harsh which was latter softened and even Cuudy said ohh im gonna cry which made House replay im gonna make sure no one sees this video because he was embarrased by how nice and sweet they portrayed him.

But these were the unexpected moments which made the character so interesting.he was really unpredictable

when we thought House would be the most moved and sweet he was really cold and in the moments where we expected the least is when he showed he had a heart. I never expected him to like Emma( the pregnant woman in Fetal Position) that much is like he instantly connected with her and treated her with a lot of kindness and tried to explain shy she should have ended the pregnancy without calling her a moron or idiot.

Another unexpected moment of kindness was with the Down kid who didn't want to put on the mask but helped him by doing it first he could see it was safe.

I need to watch Autopsy again it's been too long. Yeah when she was leaving he was the only one that didn't hug her and normally you would expect that to be the one time he would soften. But that is the kind of thing the writers would do with his character . I think they were reluctant to soften him.
That's something I liked about Foreman even when I didn't like him, he was good with kids.

Ugly is actually a pretty funny episode . Cuddy teasing House at the end was funny. Then Cameron getting all flustered when the documentary crew followed her around. The actually did thank House at the end of the documentary,that was sweet.

Me too but ill do after i finish Chance and yay i finally found my way to watch that series and so far so good, i really like Hugh's American accent it suits him very nicely makes him sound sexier.

One of the things the writers did well were surprising us with House's behavior and personality like for example some if his patients first hating him to latter really understanding where he was coming from like the mother pf the very short girl who we thought was a dwarf.

The mother first hatted him for mocking them but latter she said i want to speak with House he is the only one who speaks clearly and without lies. With the kid with the kid with down i thought OMG he is gonna kill him for that much screaming but then he is only one convinced him to put on the mask.

I like the cleverly snarky House. Not so fond of the cruel snark.

The version of House in the early seasons before he got the insane idea to pursue a relationship with Cuddy and became a spineless puppy while doing so.

House to Wilson about Cuddy: She is not some floozy in a bar. She is the floozy I work for.

The persuing was cute at some moments its in season 5 after Joy when their relationship got annoying.

And latter improved a little in season 6 but half of season 7 things got really bad between them.
