Favorite "Type" of Love Interest (Patreon)

This is related to our previous poll about specific traits people like, but is more a look at overall types that you guys tend to be more drawn to.  You should be able to pick more than one, but we're asking you keep it down to your top 2 this time. 

We'd love for you guys to comment and explain what draws you certain types over others. Do you like those tsunderes because you enjoy the challenge? Or is it because you love seeing the layers pulled back to reveal that sweet, gooey inside? 

Inquiring minds want to know! We know that some of these types overlap and that there are numerous variations of each one. You can comment to explain if you like a different variation of one of these types - or a different type altogether.

(We're also going to be doing a poll on least favorite types soon!)

Cold and remote intellectual - often glasses wearing, sometimes sarcastic but sometimes just emotionally distant. These characters are smart, serious and typically not at all interested in the MC at first. They are often blunt to the point of meanness. They excel in studies and often look down on those who can't keep up academically. Is often given an air of mystery.

Angry and possessive bad-boy - Often speaking with biting sarcasm, these guys tend to be blunt, angry and sometimes outright mean. But once they're interested in the MC, they are possessive and will say things like "only look at me", "don't smile at others", etc. They're also the ones that like to slam the MC against walls a lot. NOTE: They're not always "bad boys", but often are. Another 'mysterious' character type.

Bad-boy (with a heart of gold) - This guy has the appearance of a bad boy, typically scares people away, but is usually just misunderstood and actually does things like help little old ladies across the street and feed stray kittens in his spare time. He may be prone to scuffling with other people, but has a good heart and is actually a quite decent person once you get to know him.

Flirty/Seductive Womanizer - Known for either flirting with everyone, or having dated a lot. Comes across as insincere due to the way he flirts with every girl he sees. Often has a fan-club of desperate girls who will attack anyone he seems to genuinely care for. Makes the MC feel uncertain a lot since she can't tell if he's serious about her or not.

Childhood friend - That guy the MC has known all her life. Typically, he's very 'normal' and doesn't stand out compared to other love interests. He's supportive, friendly and often teases the MC to cover up how completely in love with her he is. Tends to pine for her from the sidelines. 

Ball of sunshine - A love interest that is outgoing, sweet, friendly, optimistic. Often they are hiding some dark secret that involves a personal failing, an inner uncertainty, or a tragic back story. Sometimes their outward behavior is a deliberate attempt to conceal their inner sadness while other times, they are a genuinely sweet and optimistic person despite whatever they're dealing with.

Shy and quiet cinnamon roll - A love interest that is shy, quiet and, often, has a deep inferiority complex. They typically don't believe themselves 'good enough' or 'worthy' of attention or love. Often, they have a tragic back story of some kind. Usually the shyness is a result of insecurity rather than their simply being an introvert. Usually a very kind person who just needs help coming out of their shell a little.

Outgoing airhead - This characters has a big overlap with the "ball of sunshine" character, except they tend to be louder, hyper, and behaves in a more childish way overall. Like the ball of sunshine, they usually have a dark secret of some kind that makes it difficult for them to genuinely get close to other people (even though they're often very popular.)

Clumsy but sincere sweetheart - This character is a bit awkward and unsure of himself but is a very sincere, sweet person. They are often very insecure which may cause them to withdraw because they feel they aren't good enough for the MC - or just cause them to overreact or misunderstand situations surrounding the MC. Tries hard, but usually needs a lot of encouragement. 

Boy next door - A genuinely sweet, kind, all-around good guy. He's supportive, generous, smart, funny, etc. Drama usually stems from  him having a dark side or dark secret - or some kind of weird misunderstanding involving one of the two characters thinking they aren't good enough for the other/not noticing how the other one feels. I feel like "Boy next door" and "Childhood Friend" often overlap.

Unstable maniac - That crazy guy that is either in love with you or wants to kill you and wear your skin. Possibly both. Sometimes has "multiple personalities." Usually likes knives. Makes a hobby of confusing the MC by alternating between being threatening and affectionate. Basically, a yandere.
