(#3) Ben Doesn't Lose His Cool With Leslie
Even the best relationships have rocky moments. Work, parenthood, and just day-to-day life take a toll. When Jim loses his cool with Pam in Season 9 of The Office, you can feel the pressure he's facing balancing his out-of-town job and his family. His outburst is understandable, but still awful.
But stressed or not, Ben would never talk this way to Leslie. He responds to tough situations in a very specific way: by dressing up as Batman.

(#6) Ben Doesn't Play Games
Taking a cue from Cheers, Moonlighting, and pretty much every romantic comedy ever, Ben and Leslie don't get along at first. In fact, they can't stand each other for a while. Once they get together, though, Ben is all in.
Jim and Pam are another story. Pam does let Jim down when he confesses his love at the end of Season 2. But when Pam breaks up with Roy, Jim is all about Karen... even when he can clearly see that Pam is trying to mend their relationship.
Basically, Ben is sincere in his affections. He never plays mind games with Leslie.

(#7) Ben Loves All Of Leslie
Waffles. Scrapbooking. File folders. Presentations. Pawnee. Li'l Sebastian. Her team. Joe Biden. Leslie Knope is a woman of many deep and passionate loves, and Ben appreciates every one of them.
You could say the same thing about Jim's view of Pam, but Ben never tries to get Leslie to change even a little. In his eyes, she's perfect.

(#10) Ben Is Perfect Dad Material
If you need proof that Ben is the best dad ever, consider this: he takes his week off to bring his epic board game, the Cones of Dunshire, to glorious life. When you have Ben's energy, optimism, and wonderfully warped brain, anything can be fun.
To Jim's credit, he was the creator of the Dunder Olympics, but that might not be the most exciting way for a kid to spend a Saturday.

(#12) Ben And Leslie's Flirting Never Includes Office Work
Yeah, Pam and Jim are cute when they banter on the job. And when Jim makes Pam do stuff for him, it's a joke rooted in a whole bunch of backstory. But come on – making your significant other do your administrative work is just not cool.
Ben would sooner get a thousand paper cuts on his tongue helping Leslie stuff flyers than even jokingly demean her.

(#8) Even When He's Proposing, Ben Gives Leslie Her Say
Yes, Jim's proposal to Pam at a rainy New Jersey gas station was lovely and quite visually arresting. But Ben's proposal has him beat, especially when he lets Leslie take over.
