Ok, still madly crushing on Sawyer, but yeah, Cindy's totally right about that one.
Sad thing - real world, I'd probably still F Sawyer, but for once my intimacy and trust issues would actually come in handy and prevent it going any deeper.
Zoe: Uh huh. River, honey? He's putting the hair away now. River: It'll still be there... waiting.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have nothing against the F of an assholish guy like Sawyer, really. I mean, there's a reason no one's picking M.

Cindy, I agree that if Sawyer were a real person, I would recommend everyone back away from him, and fast. But as a TV character? Yeah, I'd do him.
(I don't know if there are any other men on the island I would F but not M. Some, I want to do both to more than others, -- I'd take Charlie before Sayid, and Sayid before Jack -- but they're all very, very pretty. Boone is pretty, but he has too many issues, so I'd do neither.)

I think Sayid is more attractive than either Michael or Sawyer, but he would oddly lose out if I could pick just one F and one M.
F is for the arrogant charmers you don't want to have breakfast with.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
The real question is whether there are any characters with sufficient emotional cruelty to knock Sawyer out of his high castle. Assholes do sometimes reform, but it generally requires debasement, a lot of psychotherapy, and possibly a good thrashing.
Or, I have just described Woobie 2.0, and we'll all be desperately sick of the various tender, redemptive name-squish pairings. Sate! Jawyer! Chawyer! Surley! -- see? It wasn't meant to be.
I have to admit, I really like the idea of a character whom nobody really knows, and who can ultimately be known only by her actions. Until we see Kate actually get eaten by a mechasaur, we can't rule out that she might be the one with the secret mechasaur joystick.

I suspect that both Jin and Locke possess it, but not the motivation or ability to use it on Sawyer.

If I only had a brain...
People like Sawyer are the reason F, C, M exists. In the imaginary wonderland that is FCM, you can use Sawyer like a Kleenex and then discard him without repercussions.

Oooh. Jin v. Sawyer. Oooh.

Yes indeedy. He's like deep fried hot peppers stuffed with cheese and bacon, dipped in ranch dressing. You know it's bad for you when you order it. You know it's bad for you when you're eating it. You feel awful when you're done.
But mmmmmmmmmm, tasty!
F, C, P (love this addition), M?
