With the release of the Legendary edition and even before then I noticed a lot of female gamers have the hots for Garrus, and seeing this gives me hope, even if you are an ugly hideous looking space alien, as long as you are cool and are good with shooting a rifle, you can still pull down some tail.

I should've known this was going to be this kind of thread. I thought this was going to be about guns or builds or something.

I thought he was ugly at first, but people (and aliens?) tend to look better to me the more I get to know and like them. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Attractive men catch my attention first. It's true. But they're just temporary eye candy. Generally, as soon as they open their mouths or show any sign of them being aware of their hotness, they lose it. It's the men who are authentic, give service, and are outdoorsy that keep it. I'm just another man though, so my input might not be what you want.

I'm just another man though, so my input might not be what you want. I was kinda "super hot" as a young man. I got the eye candy looks, from men and women. Minneapolis was a pretty progressive place in the 90s, and when I went to the Gay 90s all the humans were interested. Then they talked to me, and my clumsiness and social ineptitude closed 90% of those doors. Confidence is the secret sauce and I never had it, and looks will only take you so far. I did enjoy my fair share of one night stands, but that speaks more of my casual whorish nature and less of my "lady skills" lol.

Unsure if you're bi or a just a chill straight guy, but hat off to you for immersing yourself in the gay world in the 90s. A lot of straight men who do occasionally go to gay clubs are the ones who are truly most comfortable with themselves and their bodies since they can take compliments from other men without having a meltdown. They also know what they're into sexually and can harmlessly turn the other men down but still have fun. Gay men are more forward than straight women and I think a lot of straight men who doubt themselves find it remarkable just how many flirts they get when they go to a gay club or bar and get their groove on. It can be a good self-image booster for them. I personally was so awkward and uncomfortable when I was in high school and closeted. So it was an insane feeling to be told I was attractive and to have people flirting with me back when I went to college and came out. Even more insane when I scored relationship status for many years with my first boyfriend who I considered out of my league. Lol

Married to a woman, bi my whole life. Only "practiced" (lol) in my late 20s-mid 30s. As someone who believes in a spectrum and thinks we are all on it somewhere, I'd say I'm 35% gay. Mostly just sexual for me, was never interested in pursuing a relationship with a man. As for being involved in gay culture then - I was immersed in it due to my job and the nightlife of Minneapolis. Minneapolis has been very gay friendly since at least 1990, and I worked at the fancy new San Francisco-style restaurant that was all the rave at the time, and was connected to the State Theater so we had a constant flow of Broadway performers, dancers and their crews coming through. I wasn't at all comfortable with my own sexuality at that point and desperately wanted to just be interested in women, because I thought something was wrong with me. Nobody took me for anything but Straighty McStraighterson, and I enjoyed being flirted with by anyone because it was attention. There is plenty wrong with me, but being bi isn't one of them. Even if I am a supposedly mythical creature

I did enjoy my fair share of one night stands, but that speaks more of my casual whorish nature and less of my "lady skills" lol. I remember my first week in college and seeing these two super hot guys eating at the freshman cafeteria. They both had their frat shirts on and I was convinced I'd never seen a more attractive man in my life. But then I had a class with one of them, and he was remarkably stupid. Any attraction I felt turned immediately to disappointment with a tinge of disgust. So yeah, Garrus is attractive not because he's "attractive," he's attractive because he's an interesting character with a great story, and yes, also the voice. Although when you do initiate the romance with him in ME2 he says something like "there's no one in the galaxy I respect more than you" and all I can think is dude, I respect Anderson but I don't want to bang him. I'm not looking for your respect Garrus, in fact I might be actively looking to be disrespected, if you take my meaning. I'm just saying.

I don't want a sexual relationship with every person I respect and who respects me (obviously), but I also don't want a sexual relationship with someone with whom there isn't mutual respect. Respect is necessary but not sufficient.

Respect is necessary but not sufficient. I understand that, but my point is that Garrus's reasoning for going ahead with the relationship is the oh-so-romantic "I respect you." Which is nice and all, but also not really what Shepard is going for when talking about reach and flexibility.

For me, Garrus is the best love interest for heterosexual female Shepards because he is the most present and supportive. 1) Contrast his response to her working with Cerberus in ME2 to Kaidan's: Garrus: Frankly, I'm more worried about you. *Cerberus*, Shepard. You remember those sick experiments they were doing? Shepard: That's why I'm glad you're here, Garrus. If I'm walking into Hell I want someone I trust at my side. Garrus: You realize this plan has *me* walking into Hell, too? Hm. Just like old times. (He doesn't trust Cerberus, but he trusts Shepard.)
Kaidan: You turned your back on everything we believed in. You betrayed the Alliance! You betrayed *me*! Garrus sticks up for Shepard: Dammit, Kaidan, you're so focused on Cerberus you're ignoring the real threat! Shepard: You're letting how you feel about their history get in the way of the facts. Kaidan: Maybe. Or maybe *you* feel like you owe Cerberus because they saved you. Maybe *you're* the one who's not thinking straight. You've changed. But I know where *my* loyalties lie. (He doesn't trust Cerberus or Shepard's judgment.)
2) He doesn't take his relationship with Shepard for granted. He gives Shepard 3 opportunities to call off the relationship in ME2 and two in ME3. In my playthrough I didn't even have the opportunity to lock in Garrus' relationship until I had already turned Kaidan down. Garrus: It seemed you needed time to ... figure us out. On the other hand, Kaidan seems to assume he's in a relationship with Shepard in ME3 even if Shepard romanced someone else in ME2. Kaidan: I understand why you cheated. But I still love you, Shepard. (What?)
3) If Shepard breaks up with Garrus, he accepts it and still supports her. Before the Omega 4 relay: Shepard: Garrus, we need to rethink this. I don't want to hurt our friendship. Garrus: Yeah. Let's leave it be. Probably would have torn a ligament or something anyways... I'll let you get back to work, Shepard. And I'll be there when you need me.
4) In ME3, Garrus is one of only a few people who ask Shepard how she is doing. He makes sure she gets some sleep. 5) He learns the tango so Shepard won't have to embarrass herself on the dance floor any more. He plays along with her bar roleplay idea. 6) Garrus does his homework. "I've been doing more research on human customs. I didn't want to ... presume anything." 7) Garrus doesn't die (unless Shepard gets him killed). 8) Garrus doesn't get someone else pregnant while Shepard's in prison. It certainly helps that Garrus is on the squad in all 3 games. He is also extremely competent, funny, and has a great voice. So even though he looks like a cross between a grasshopper and a buff velociraptor, he's a keeper. The OP fails to take into account that unlike real life, a heterosexual Shepard only has four options (not counting the one night stands).

As an aside, I like that the VS doesn't just accept Zombie Shepard, but there attitude in combination with Shep being a putz, it leaves a lot to be desired with regard to those scenes.
