I have to make a choice, so regardless of whether you are male are female, please tell me who you'd rather be in a romantic relationship/flirtationship with.

Logan Marshall-Green (with a beard) - Diet Tom Hardy
Jason Momoa - Your Hawaiian Protector
Boyd Holbrook - Your Mysterious Southern Neighbour

OR

Nathan Parsons - Pretty Boy

*This is all for a story of course*

Oh, be slightly more nice. Anyway, I don't know who any of those people are nor would I be attracted to any of them. Nonetheless, in a dating simulator a point of the game would just be to get to know who these people are. Maybe you could have all four and let the reader decide.

I plan to choose two men and let the reader decide between them and a female, but writing five romance options is a lot of work for a story that isn't remotely a dating sim.

I'd suggest doing the two that you'd like to write about the most. If you like what you're writing more, then the readers would be more likely to like it as well.

I mean if the main difference is looks (and that's what you've based entire question on here) it'd be easy enough to swap out details in the same scenes.

Choose Your Hottie

But I don't want the same scenes. Just like in real life, you meet and interact with people differently and in different surroundings. So if I am going for realism, which I am, I cannot just swap details. Each person adds something different to the plot if they are a love interest.

Jason because Hawaiians are hot.

Choose Your Hottie

6 years ago

Personally I don't like guys, though gauging the site's taste in dudes is fairly useless since you have a fairly broad spread and it comes down to personal taste anyway. However, since I've been trying to get into dudes that don't even have vaginas lately just to see if I can, let's see what's up here.

Personally Mr. Marshal-Green is a failure in all aspects. Not only does he have a beard, which is one of the manliest and therefore least attractive things to have, but he's also a vastly inferior version of Tom Hardy, you said it yourself. So obviously we couldn't bond over Bane or Charles Bronson impersonations because he's vry shit at it, as opposed to just being an okay Tom Hardy like everyone else.

Jason Momoa is just impractical, no matter what he looks like. Why the hell would I need protection from Hawaiians? I've never been to Hawaii, I'm considered a generally nice person... In real life, anyway... I really don't know why the Hawaiians would be after me. Is it because I made fun of their official state plaid? Also, I hope he's protecting me with words and not actions. As awesome as it would be to have a personal Jason Statham, I'm frankly concerned that physical violence is just going to give the people of this fine 50th state another reason to be upset with me.

Mysterious southern neighbor was out from the very beginning. I've had mysterious southern neighbors before, and they aren't attractive, presumably even from the standpoint of dudely attractiveness. Though, he did invite a lot of thought and wonderment due to how mysterious he was. I used to think for minutes at a time about my unanswered questions. Where did all his teeth go? Why did his wife look exactly like him? These are things I never learned before he disappeared mysteriously from my life.

Nathan Parsons is allegedly pretty, so he's probably the closest there is on this list to beinf someone I'd fuck, even if he is just a sub-standard girl at this point. So my vote goes to that guy.

Of course, I know this could just be in a romantic/flirtatious relationship with any of them, in which case attraction wouldn't really matter (I'm sure neither of the mysterious southern twins found each other attractive) but when hitting on someone it is common courtesy to have actual attraction to back it up.

Choose Your Hottie

I request that you add the man, the myth, the legend Tommy Wiseau to the list.

But to be less shitposty I'd go gay for Jason Momoa.

Choose Your Hottie

Man, fuck that celebrity lady boner fan fiction bullshit.  Just write a story with made up people and describe their looks and personalities, integrate them with whatever the story is that you're writing, it'll make them seem more interesting.

Besides, everyone knows Jason Momoa could snap those guys in half with his pinky finger xD. 

I don't like dudes at all, but if I had to pick I'd go back in time a day and fuck myself.

Choose Your Hottie

i understand it's not about who is stronger, that was just a thought I had, the real meaningful message is in the first paragraph.

This isn't tumblr lady, not everyone is gonna want to read a story about dreamy celebrities, or celebrity porn or whatever the fuck it is. I understand the whole story you thought of is important to you, but there's a lot of standards writers on this site are held to, and if you don't do that you're gonna get ripped apart by everybody.

Fan-fiction type stories don't generally do well, unless you're like Steve and a couple others who can pull it off using multiple aspects that make stories great.  So just letting you know now, make sure it's damn good and not just drooling over hot celebrities.

Firstly, don't read my profile or username and assume you know the kind of work I will be writing on here. You will be wrong. Also, I know about site standards and all that so just stfu. You don't know me or what I plan to write.

Secondly, it was NEVER fanfiction or celebrity porn. I was just using certain people's likeness in my story. I don't even find all of those men attractive. They are just faces I chose.

P.S I don't give a damn if anyone here doesn't want to read it. I have my own audience that would love to read my shit and I'll send them here. This was honestly just a lighthearted thread, and your assumptions turned it wack.

Pretending you're looking for a legitimate answer rather than just flailing around having this hilarious little drama queen meltdown over nothing....I base my observation over the fact that you're flailing around having this hilarious little drama queen meltdown over nothing.

You were given legitimate advice and immediately blew up over it, which makes it obvious your response to legitimate criticism is only going to scale up from there. Too much exposure to tumblr has made you fragile and unable to cope with the reality of participating in a real writing community, I fear. There's no such thing as just 'dabbling' there.

I think, if you stop and think really, REALLY hard, the incredible realization will come upon you that by publishing stories on this site, you are writing for the people who read stories on this site. Most notably for the people who post on this forum.

tbf you do seem to understand the basics of grammar so the story will likely squeak by with a 3 point something at the very least even if it's the kind of cringey celebrity fanfic I'm hoping it will be.

Either way, we'll always still have this wonderful thread, even if I don't quite get your attitude of defensive hostility or what brought you to the point of shouting I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU ALL THINK ;-; over and over. Corgi gave you decent advice while under the impression you were going to take it like a normal person and then you went and made things weird.

Or 'wack' I guess, as the kids apparently say.

But as always, that's how the magic happens so I doubt anyone's complaining.

Choose Your Hottie

Corgi perhaps gave me decent advice originally, but then made assumptions about what my story and content would be. Even though I never mentioned any of that in the OP and I let him know he was wrong. Suddenly, I'm an overly sensitive, blubbering ball of woman tears blowing smoke through her ears, who won't last here. OK... Well I am human, and yes I did get offended that someone assumed I would produce shitty content based on a profile and username I made in jest. Yes, I felt the need to defend myself. My "defensive" responses reflect that, but I would never post any celebrity fan fiction on here because they are usually dumb and overly elaborate work based on real people is weird. I usually only write fiction. It seems only you lot can write strongly worded responses, but for anyone else, they are seen as shouting and overreacting.

Jason Momoa's out, the dude's not that attractive. Like, he works as a cool power fantasy in its be badass to be him, but he's just kinda ugly with ripping muscles.

I guess Nathan Parson's next. I think he looks kinda cute in a villain kind of way, but the idea that he'd be like a pretty boy immediately makes me sick of his entire character.

Boyd Holbrook's depends on how Southern he is. Like, does he work on a farm and have that cool accent, or is he going to be wearing MAGA hats or trying to get me into NASCAR or talking about how he doesn't like queers? Because that would kill it for me, especially the queer-hating part. He'd be a major downer after sex with all his shame talk. Plus, the "mysterious" vibe makes me not want to deal with that shit.

So, I guess Logan Marshall-Green, he's the safe choice, even if he's a bit old. Yeah, I'll go with him.
