Descriptions of male love interests in romance novels

[Deleted member 21345]

I've been going over the descriptions of attractive male leads in romance novels and seeing commonalities

Rather than just pick my favorites I went with the most popular on tiktok. My tiktok feed is skewed towards dark romance because that's what I read but you can search "book boyfriends" there and see what you get

Edward Cullen(Twilight)
She describes his facial features as being perfect and angular—high cheekbones, strong jawline, a straight nose, and full lips. His hair, which is always messy, retains the unusual bronze shade that he inherited in his human life from his biological mother. His eyes, once green, are now described as topaz

Aaron Warner(Shatter Me)
He has blond hair and green eyes usually described as pale emerald. He has a defined and strong jaw, and dimples when he smiles. He is tall, slender, and toned, but also manly, has skin, but not pale, just with a slight tan enough to look healthy.

Nate hawkins(Icebreaker):
Nate is roughly 6'4" with broad shoulders, a muscular body and dark eyes. He is described as having thick dark hair, however the cover art portrays a more medium-brown hair colour. He has a sharp jawline with stubble, dimples and strong cheekbones

Caradan Greenbriar(folk of the air)
Cardan has curly, iridescent midnight hair and sharp cheekbones. He has long, black eyelashes and soft lips. His eyes are described as black with a golden ring around the pupils. He usually wears kohl under his eyes. Cardan is said to be lean and tall, with very pale skin

Some takeaways, having read most of these and some others. You have typical PSL esque features like jaw and cheekbones. But also less expected ones like lips, dimples and eyelashes. Chin and browbone aren't brought up much but eyes are. Rarely do leads ever have full beards but stubble is common. Hair is mentioned alot.

The male leads are always described as tall, 6'+ and lean. Often broad shouldered. Besides that you don't often get detailed body descriptions

There's some differences between YA leads like Cullen and college and up slayers but not much actually. They're basically the same guy with more muscle and maybe stubble

different flavors of chad

Pretty much its the same chad in every book with different eye colors and character traits. You rarely ever get a lead who has doesn't have the same dark brown hair color and there are 0 popular nonwhite leads

Nate is roughly 6'4" with broad shoulders, a muscular body and dark eyes.

The hero is always shown on the cover of the books.

 

[Deleted member 21345]

Often not always because in romance novels there's usually a handful of chad love interests with one being the main squeeze

On that topic I've almost never seen any psl models on any romance book cover ever lol

 

[FutureSlayer]

what about their personalities

[Chadpreet_]

All Chads tho right

 

[Deleted member 21345]

what about their personalities

Good question. There's actually a variety of personality type but most popular types are controlling possessive psychos who have a soft spot for the female protagonist.

Chico is all over wattpad but not actual books. I've seen zurzolo, dellisola on wattpad. Never seen barett there

Yeah I think dark brown is generally the ideal

So men are more passionate when talk about romance? Women just want some darktriad tall Chad. Women are so predictable.

If you are a passionate bluepilled man just cope or rope because no bitch will give you "real love".

Christian Grey?

 

[Deleted member 21345]

am I light triad?
Would I be a popular romance novel hero?

A nice guy hero like that dude from fault in our Stars

Christian Grey?

ristian is tall, lean yet muscular, and broad-shouldered, with dark copper-colored hair and intense, bright gray eyes. He keeps in shape by kickboxing, running, and having sex. As quoted by Anastasia, "He is not merely good looking - he is the epitome of male beauty, breathtaking." Christian has an issue with self loathing and says that it is "just a pretty face" whenever he Is complimented on his appearance. He also believes that, because of his scars, lifestyle choices, and horrible childhood, he is only a "husk of a man" and has no heart.

Christian Grey is tall white athletic rich chad that is also hypersexual, conflicted and dark triad, but he falls in love with a female who tries to fix him

Female fantasy summarised
