I aspire to be a game dev, and one thing that I simply can't find is good examples of sexy male characters that women think are good looking. Unfortunately, being a 99% hetero male myself the only two male characters I can recall being attracted to are Godot from Ace Attorney and Vyers (Mid-Boss) from Disgaea, and the opinion doesn't come from a female anyway.
Anyone want to share examples? (preferably characters that are actively sexualized - I know some people are hot for batman, but that's the last thing intended by his design)
Do women like butt-cam (like in Metal Gear Solid 4 for example)?
The one thing I think I know is that abs = boobs
Now I've analised this subject with two people who know about attraction; porn star Joslin James and Tiger Woods, both have provided me with insight on both passionate attraction, and stable monogamous relationships.
For most men, the list of what we're looking for is rather short
1. Is she hot?
2. Seriously dude, how hot is she?
What a woman are looking for is a bit more complex, and is as follows
"Does he have a good job?
What kind of car does he drive?
He needs to be confident with out appearing to be too arrogant
He needs to be funny, but not goofy funny
He needs to be tall, but not weird tall
He should be spontaneous but only when I'm expecting it
Hansom is a plus and Hansom with good hair is better
No Baldies! LOL
He needs to know all the right times to say everything
He needs to know the times he needs to say nothing
He needs to know how to treat me like the woman I am, both in the bedroom and out on the town!
He needs to be family orientated and good with kids, but not too good with kids like in a creepy clown way
He needs to be intelligent or at least money smart so we know how to invest for retirement, our kids college fund and our funeral expenses
He can have his friends and do things with them but only when its convenient for me
He needs to care about me but not be too controlling
You know sometimes I just want to go out and have fun with the girls and have fun and he needs to be okay with that and not be all...."
You get the idea, the list goes on to 167, but I'll stop there, you get the idea
We men both have the blessing and the burden of having only enough blood to run either our dick or our brain at any one time; where as women like cuddling a lot more. You'll notice that most of the men quoted above are from story driven games, so its not as simple as Abs = Boobs.
Abs have the effect of negating physical abuse though, so there's that
