WOW WE SURE HAVE HAD A LOT OF NOT!MEMES LATELY

and it's my turn! Specifically, what does your character find attractive in others? it could be physical traits, personality traits, hobbies, that Sims-esque heart-shaped hot tub full of somebody else's blood in their back room, anything - what do they look for in a prospective partner? do they admit to looking for these things? do they event realize they look for these things? Do they look at all?

I love not!memes so much!

Tony has a few qualities he's particularly fond of. First: female. Second: anything else. Okay, so he actually has a penchant for redheads and Asian women, but for casual hook ups, as long as they're female and are reasonably attractive, he'll have some fun. As for relationships, he's never actually actively looking for one. All of his honest to god serious relationships just seem to happen, but since his last serious girlfriend was killed, he hasn't really wanted anyone to be subjected to the horrible drama that is his life, or to suffering through his intimacy issues or work streaks. His serious partners are always women who are very strong in their own way. Bethany was the strength of will that he absolutely needed when he was figting his alcoholism, and Rumiko had a strong personality that absolutely refused to play second-fiddle to the big metal machine in their life. Pepper, of course (his one true love that will never be fuck you matt fraction) is the embodiment of everything he actually wants in a woman (even though Tony doesn't think he could deserve her) which is pretty much the will to keep on going, and to slap him in his place. He just has such horrid intimacy issues that he struggles with the 'L' word more than someone from a language without that word.

Mitchell is a lot different than...most people. Mitch doesnt look for partners. Period. I think the interesting thing is that it's not that he's interested in something that isn't really sentient (okay he really isn't a mechanophile) but he's interested in what he can't have. More, he can't have it both ways. Mitch has to choose between power and an intimate relationship (because let's face it, you couldn't be openly gay and run for president; and hiding it is pretty much going to end in an absolute disaster) and I don't think he ever really looked before he went into politics either. I really think he was the kind of guy that struggled to make any interpersonal connections in the office, and so he had absolutely nobody to go to after his accident except Bradbury and Kremlin. So yeah, he pretty much does not look period because he can't even though I think the last issue sold it that he secretly does want a partner, and when it falls right into his lap...he pretty much has to force himself to push them away because if he doesn't, then he thinks the entire world is going to burn without him in power somehow.

And maybe the others later idk
