In otome games, what type of guy do you usually go for?

I have a weak spot for tsundere characters and I tend to go to their route first. idk, I think I just enjoy watching them blush and splutter like crazy when the heroine teases them.  

But I also love characters who genuinely cares about the heroine and showers plenty of love and affection that makes me melt. Ukyo and Ikki from Amnesia are great examples for this case.

Right now I've fallen in love with one sexy tsundere guy: Akito from Norn9!! He already reach my heart ohoho~~ I think his tsundereness will become along with my yandereness xDD

Oh... this is a tough one...

I don't specifically go for a type when I start a game. Usually I just look at who seems the most interesting and who would make a good pair with the heroine (yes, I play these games as the matchmaker, problem? )

I noticed though that there are a few types that I tend to choose:
- The few worded, either blunt or socially awkward megane/ the shy one who doesn't do well with people and tries to hide it.
- The innocent genki idiot
- The hidden personality type, not necessarily split personality, but maybe the one turns out to hide a more "burakku" side of him
- The weirdly strange oddball XD No, I can't describe him, he basically gets interesting by not responding in an usual way

I like the mysterious types. The kind that tend to be the secret characters as well...

The cutest or the one with glasses usually. I don't have a thing for glasses, no. Or the calm/shy/quiet one. In the end I do all their routes and come to like all of them somehow but the 3 above are my most favorite. 

It's so difficult to choose! But usually I go for either the tsundere, yandere, 'strange' guy (for example Clear in DMMd if you guys played it (yes i know its BL  )) OR THE SHOTA first! Whoever has the best visuals and voice 

ALL! Gotta catch'em all!

But I normally go for someone who's
1. OLDer than me
2. Super serious or cool who blushes when they do something out of their character like being nice xD)
3. Tsunderes
4. A tease (not flirty boys or playboys... more like John from Backstage Pass? But unlike Okita from Hakuoki... A bit hard to explain )

Can I add your answer to my post, please? LOL

It's simply perfect!!!

MEGANES!  

Except the Shota-like megane (if there were any?)

Though specifically, I like Meganes with that cool/tsundere personality who has a love/hate relationship with the MC.

If none such is available, I can do with the serious type, cheerful/outgoing type or senpai/someone older type of guys 

I thought the same until I played the Dandere-Megane guy from Nicole and... my vision of Shy guys changed !

Though Shota-con are still a big no-no for me. (Except if they act innocently and blush a lot ! But I only saw that in TGS3 )

1. Tsundere characters- I love how they turn all deredere after some time

2. Perverted characters and flirts

3. Ore-sama characters

4. I kind of started to like yandere and sadistic characters, but not the DiaLovers kind, more like implied yanderes and sadists in making (xD?)

usually the shota lol but I do like the cheerful type!

I like the mischievious type such as Okita for Hakuoki or Auger from BWS.  or Noiz.
I like cute guys like Heisuke. 
I like tsundere guys like Shin from Amnesia.
I don't like overly the overly sadistic like in DL.

So true. That is my method too. I just choose with preferences.

I normally choose the character with red hair or long hair (both on one character ).  If none I start the game and choose based on the bits of personality that is shown in the beginning. (Bashful/Serious personality types typically wins.) Or if there's voice acting, I'll choose based on seiyuu or how well I like the voice.

Shotas or tsunderes.
Personality wise I like the tsundere or happy type better, but shotas are kawaii too. In anime, probably someone like Nagisa or Syo.

hmm... I've never very fond of shotas, but I'm currently playing Towa Wakasa's route from Sweet Fuse at your side, and he's kind of cute... but I want him to toughen up a bit, or I'll feel like dating a girl xD

hmm...is Heisuke from Hakuouki: Demon of Fleeting Blossom considered a Shota ? Or is he just...Genki ?

I'd definitely say energetic or shota.
But there have been a few times I choose tsundere.

From Spade

I always go first for the Sadist/Tsundere/Cold-hearted first.

IF I'M A MASOCHIST? MAYBE! (no. you are) BUT I CAN'T! THEY'RE JUST SO COOL AND HOT THAT I CAN'T! DAMN!

*Throws herself under the covers and drools over husbands*

I go for the guy that Suzuki Tatsuhisa voices! And the type of guys he voices. Sadistic or gentle, and ikemen.

I also usually go for the guy that makes the best first impression on me.

For me I usually go with the option that best presents myself as the heroine. And hopefully that would lead to the guy that best suits the chosen choices.

If it is one of the otome games where you get to choose the guy first I usually try to choose the one with the most interesting storyline.

You're such a player... so basically you just go after all of the guy and see who falls for you first ? xD

The Serious type(the first game I played was Hakuouki and I choosed for first the bad/mean guy, Kazama (and I remained so unsatisfield of that.. I was hoping to know more about him in the game..) then Saito after several hours of playing I didn't have any regret ...

Lol I used to be like that too when I played TokimekiMemorial3rdstory but it usualy lead you to have a friendship ending or to have a useless ending  !
But in truth it's a nice method because you can have your free will when it comes to chossing the reply you give... and it's much better than doing everything to be liked  by the guy !
However otome games does work that way-_-

The older cynical tough guy with a beard and an interesting past... oh wait, that's not usually an option in otome games. ;-) Though Blackwall in Dragon Age 3 is pretty close.

...I don't think that's a popular type, sadly.  :-D
