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

I usually go for the tsundere... or the princy-type... or the funny/happy one... okay, I mostly choose the cutest :3

I usually go for the womanizer (or playboy) or I go for the jerk

If its available I go for the oji-san types or scruffy types or the responsible Onii-chan types. Basically anyone who looks mature!   

But if it isn't I usually go for whoever I think "matches" the MC's personality. If I don't do that I usually go for tsunderes or intelligent types or nice'n playful but cheeky types. I really like it when they're not in good terms at first no matter their personality~  

My ULTIMATE FAV THO is the hot-pervy-oji-san-who-sees-you-as-a-little-kid/sister-but-ends-up-loving-you type   °•(>̯┌┐<)•° but those are so rare in English/translated otomes

I love tsunderes. They're so cute! I've never played one I didn't like. After that, I guess my type goes to the mature ones (teachers, senpais, older childhood friends) or the stoics. There's just something about getting them to confess their attraction to you that gets me really giddy~

I always pursued the unpopular troup (not often, depends on the situations itself )and also tend to pick the obnoxious/athletic and mysterious one...BECAUSE...they're just like a " treasure that needed to be unlocked " by me ...jk...maybe not..hehe...anyway, in short , i prefer the manly men.(you know, who can resist to watch that muscular, tanned body everyday) and compare to all, this type of men always gives me the " i cannot take it anymore " vibe especially when they acts so naive and protective towards you(as the lucky heroine)..ohh... Dont forget, they always show the most adorable blushes... I REPEAT, dont forget.hehehe..

Maybe you can try the Captain's route from Pirates in Love (From Voltage in Android), and there's almost an ouji-san in every Otoge from Solmare's Shall We Date ? Series, with different type, abilities and personalities~

OMG thank u for the suggestions! I'm not really that much of a fan of mobile otoges since they're usually pretty short but imma try them out

The tall, gentle giant who is kind

Spoiler:

 or basically like Makoto Tachibana from Free! lol

Or the ~mysterious and cold~ ones that turn out to be sweet lil romantics glances at Louis Howard from Midnight Cinderella.

Spoiler:

shotas are a yes

Though sometimes the ones I want to go for have to be unlocked 

Spoiler:

glances at Ukyo

i usually go for the cute and sweet ones, then it's on to the tsundere from there. xD

kuudere and tsundere. So cool.

I don't really have a type I go for first. I usually go with the recommended order since unlocking mysteries/plot points is most important for me.

I've also learned that in a game where order matters less, I should probably save my favourites for last.

Well, if we're talking preference, I think I prefer the calm, friendly characters. I like guys I can be at ease with.

However, in games I have a habit of going for guys that are the easiest to get first. I like to test the waters of the game before delving in.

Talking about order... I usually sandwich my least favorite character in between so that I can keep my motivation up.

So: Fairly liked character > Least liked > Favorite character (not like there are only 3 guys but yeah, you get the idea right?) 

I prefer adorkable guys~ Adorable dorks~ Plus if they wear glasses! *cough* my avi *cough*

It surprises me that my character preferences can change more often that not though. Still depends on the plot I guess. I used to have a huge sensei bias but that has weakened over the years (I feel old LOL) 

Some of my biases:
TMGS 1: Reiichi-san 
TMGS 2: Waka-sama and Hikami-kun
TMGS 3: Seiji-senpai (I'm not usually into tsundere but surprise surprise!) and Ruka-kun
WoF: Est (Possibly the first and only shouta I've ever liked so far...) and Julius (because he's adorkable.  )
Amnesia: Ukyo~~~ My hubby~ /kicked 
Clock Zero: Takato, hands down. 
HnKnA: Julius and Peter
UtaPri: Masato and Ringo

...Sometimes I just want to say... Can't I just have them all? 

Hmm I usually choose kind characters. I like the quiet type and older guys too. If they wear glasses it's a plus (what can I say I'm weak lol). I'd say it depends of the game too...

I usually go for the bad boys first. It's really interesting because they are often more kind than the cute looking one that is mischievous 

I usually go for the sweethearts because they make me blush lol

usually the rude ones for me (yeah im p weird,,  ). usually not the ones who seem most tsundere.. a good indicator for me to choose their route first is a solemn/cold aura and glasses~    (see: Kent from Amnesia). if there aren't any or they're just too much of an a$$hole i'd choose the shotaaaaa or deredere (shy) cutie patootie <3 two completely different types but i like what i like 

From what I played of Nameless, I have a preference for more mature, dependable characters. There's an anime airing right now called "Magic Kyun", a character called Hayato who's both kind and helpful is by far my favorite guy.

Though generally, what I'm after is the development and the story...

Years later I return to this forum after getting back into Otome after a long break from them... and I've realized I favor tragic characters. Like, I just want them to be happy, y'know?

Of course, I wouldn't know they're tragic till I play their route, so I'd just pick by whoever seems most interesting (still, yes, the tsuns and kuus) for my first. Depending on the game, I usually save the one I favor most for last

I try to clear all the routs in a game, so I start with the one I think I will like the least. Mostly the shota or the prince.
The cool, unsociable one, the mature one and onii-san are the types I love most and tend to leave for last. Like a prize for a work well done.

I usually pick the character that I'm most interested in after playing the "common" part of the story. 

Unless it's a game where you have to pick beforehand... then I tend to go with the one who's design (and/or voice) I like better. 

I have a thing for tsunderes though... Hanzo, Shin, Louis... also every tsundere shota out there... I wanna keep them all forever in my heart
