Now I feel bad for the romance I’m writing right now lol … But then again I’m never going to do it in that distasteful and lazy way as you described, I usually make it sound more realistic as to why they’d fall in love, especially if both fall at the same time, at a first glance
However, it does remind me of a mafia story I had to endure when grading it for this one girl who wanted my honest opinion and I realized how many of these types of scenes exist
The slow zoom from the knees to the head, when describing how handsome somebody is. Okay his face might be nice, or his abs, but his knees definitely don’t look good. In either drawing style, Classic, Ink or Limelight, the legs always look dry and thin and like they’re packing nothing, so when one of those zooms happen, it just makes the LI or MC that much less handsome and my reply is always “Yeah, sure, I’ll believe that’s attractive.” (in a sarcastic tone)
