    having long hair comes with its own usual tropes I’m familiar with

    I’m guessing you like these tropes. May I ask what they are?

      Top 4 I can think of are

      1. Probably most common, the playboy. I used to love these, but over time I’ve started to grow tired of men who are keenly aware of how good-looking they are and use it to their advantage 😭 so now it depends on their motivations and how aggressive they are in their flirting whether I like them or not.
      2. A calm guy who seems like the shining example of nobility or even divinity. Can be boring easily, I’m not gonna lie, but the eye candy will at least be good.
      3. Cold, mysterious emo(/goth/some other third thing) guy, aka Peak. My fave here. And the trope the guy in my icon falls under. and last but certainly not least
      4. Crossdressing guy who is flamboyant and you’d normally assume is gay. It’s tricky because if the writer(s) are still a little homo/transphobic I’ll get pissed off, but when done right it’s 😙👌🏾 to me. My second fave. #bisexualitywin

        the trope the guy in my icon falls under

        This is a little funny to me because your icon did not federate over, so what I see as your icon is the default for people who don’t set an icon: a cute little mouse head. I checked to see where your home instance is both so I could see your profile picture and to try to figure out why this is happening, and you’re on Mastodon. I have had trouble with Lemmy and/or Kbin and Mastodon talking to each other nicely in the past, so that might explain it.

        It’s always pleasing when you are expecting people to handle something poorly and instead they handle it well. I hope you find more of #4.

        Curious about your take on Paradigm Paradox now.
