@Lana_Carter Yeah I get you’re point, but at the same time I do see a lot of threads where people hate on the “bad boy” or LI’s like that. And I didn’t mean to say that all “nice guys” are boring, I simply meant for my personality, when I’m reading a story where the LI or even the MC is always nice, soft, and angel-like, I get bored But I do agree with you It’s simply about preference and your own personality though…
@Lee_ahora.episode Omg yeah that’s exactly how I feel, sometimes I don’t even wanna text back because I have a very “unique” sense of humor
Totally agree! I get bored easily too and I relate to this on another level. People making those romantic gushy stories is wack, and boring, and nothing interesting goes on. Theres always one romantic choice and it gets obvious once the main and him encounter each other like stop. Surprise us with another love interests or something😒
its even worse when u say something like that and they just laugh and dont say something back like MATCH MY ENERGY
@anon71033048 Lmao yea I understand what you mean, I only said it like that because I’ve read stories, and talked to a few guys that were (don’t come for me for this) “Too nice” and I don’t know I just feel that being too serious and nice, all of the time for me it gets boring I need a challenge with the LI and just a real life guy
I get what you mean. I personally don’t think this is much of a bad thing in fiction (as long as it’s not toxic). But yea, i think the main problem with how “nice guys” are portrayed is that they’re almost always on the MC’s side and it’s just unrealistic and boring. They’re like the MC’s “Yes-Man”, always validating everything they say. I see it all the time with “nice guy” characters.
I actually like nice guys though, ngl. It heavily depends on how they’re written – much like how it depends on how bad boys are written.
Yes, ig the way they portray characters who are always nice in episodd is probably a lil messed up. I get ur point!
Try to mix it. It doesn’t have to be a bad boy, good guy or not even in between. Try to create a character with his own personality and his own „behavior“ in situations and at places.
Like I’m also a writer and I don’t have a bad ass or nice Ass LI in my story, I developed something a bit more on the bad side but at the same time a neutral guy who has a great personality and reacts differently from any other characters
EDIT: my ex in rl was a sweet guy and hoenstly, yes i got bored. Some people like that type but I can’t stand a relationship in pink glasses <_< i just like someone who has a personality and is not sugar coated
@queen_Phoenix30 lmfao yeah, like in a story or even real life, when someone says something really romantic or cute, I want to laugh and I feel bad for it
Yeah the “Yes-man” thing is on point, and I agree it’s definitely how you write them
Yesss! Now this is the shizz! Everyone is different and u cant group them only into 2 groups. Different People react differently to different situations and therefore builds up their personality.
and this is also a type of diversity that we need more!
@Valeriya.B Yeah I get what you mean with the “mix it” I was only talking about in most stories I’ve read, and in real life.
And yeah lol, I feel the same way, it’s kinda weird (to me anyways) when someone is like that (I’ve had experience with a guy like this, and it wasn’t for me)
@Lana_Carter Yeah I get it, I didn’t mean to put them in “only 2 groups” I was just speaking from experience
No I’m not blaming u lol! I have seen a lot of theses stereotypes in various platforms not just episode and I’m just talking about this just in general and not specifically you
Oh lmao
Well, all of Bri’s story has a very sweet and amazing li, basically everything you described above and still everyone (including me) loves her men. So, I do think there is nothing wrong with any type of men written, unless they’re well DEVELOPED and suited.
Yeah I agree lol, it is all up to development at the end of the day. I only meant for my personality though, I get bored really easily, and it gets a little annoying when someone can’t keep up with my humor then says I’m being mean, or blames me for something entirely out of my control But I do see your points, and agree with them
I love them & her. But, there r unfortunately not so many of those men around. I think episode would b a lil bit boring if all the Li’s were like that (I low-key wish I had a Holden in my life)
I know right. I wish those men did exist IRL. I could keep a Lincoln forever by my side without hesitation
