Unsexy traits

[HelloHound]

what are some character traits that you can't find attractive (at least in a romantic-type setting) no matter how hard the work tries to convince you of said attractiveness? Have there ever been any works that actually changed your mind?

it can be of character design or character traits, just something that turns you off a little from that specific character you're supposed to be into

dicks.

 

[Cipiteca396]

Entirely subjective.

Depends on who you ask

 

[Tempokai]

Obsession. Like, heavy obsession with a partner. I don't know why the people like that.

 

[NotaNuffian]

Too big boobs.

Like, DD is the max for me, any more bigger and I feel that the person needs breast reduction surgery.

So when I heard and saw the article about a K cup woman, all I could think was "that poor woman's back".

On another unrelated note, completely submissive woman with no brains of her own such as Shirayuki in Hidan no Aria.

Maybe the portray is very whacked, but her screaming Kin-chan-sama is WTF. Surpirsingly it was not cute for me when I was younger and it never is now.

Asshole characters. With the exception of a super chill character who everyone thinks is awesome but is revealed to be a total dick behind closed doors later on (usually a final villian or bringer of drama).

Stale characters. Characters that do nothing for the plot or don't progress the plot at all for reasons that don't make sense. IE, in a romance story, they don't make any attempts for romance (the boring 90s romance manga trope) or are the filler friend (they do nothing but to be a stand in for the friend character that the author didn't care to write a personality for and only uses them for giving pointless exposition).

chirpy naive happy-go-lucky overly nice princesslike trope. it raises a great urge in me to shoot someone in the foot

and spinelessness

 

[Prince_Azmiran_Myrian]

Bad smell, bad breath, gap in between the front teeth. Extreme obesity/starvation. Bad health and hygiene in general. Also, refusing to acknowledge pineapple on pizza.

Both of those are not enjoyable either, but they can be utilized at the start so there can be character growth.

Any love interest whose only motivation is the main character's affection.

 

[Iamnotabot]

Obsession. Like, heavy obsession with a partner. I don't know why the people like that.

Well people who have been abandoned or unloved tend to this feeling strongly. That or stockholme symdrome.

Any love interest whose only motivation is the main character's affection.

Soooo a yandere then.

 

[melchi]

Yandere can have more than one motivation. They have to protect senpai from vixens seeking to steal senpai. So that is at least two.

 

[ThrillingHuman]

Also, refusing to acknowledge pineapple on pizza.

the real criteria here

 

[StainedGlassThreads]

Can't bring myself to find any traits particularly sexy. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Some yan don't even seek the senpai love but rather just want to keep them around like an object sooooooo.....there's that.

and spinelessness

Mate, you don't have to call out the majority of JP males and me.

Inversely, males who treat women as collectables. I know it is a male fantasy, but still this is why we have objectification for both sides where men are seen as ATMs/ meal tickets and women as fleshlights.

 

[ForestDweller]

Obesity.

for some reason, a lot of people are obsessed with clavicles and its just weird.

I mean, among all the arbitrary human body parts that a person can be attracted to, this is rather benign
