six months ago!! I get to ask it again and also it's one of my favorite notmemes!!

Anywho, 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 even realize they look for these things? Do they look at all?

Pietro likes women who remind him of his sister in some way. That's stated in one of the Vision and the Scarlet Witch miniseries, and you can take it in a lot of ways given alternate universes and what not. What I get from it is that Wanda was his only consist female influence and his model of femininity is based on her. She's the ideal thus being compared to her, even in passing, is the highest form of compliment. He's stated in canon that he was attracted to Crystal because she cared for him like Wanda would, and he's told Angelica in game that she sometimes reminds him of Wanda.

On a superficial note, I make jokes about him liking redheads with yellow costumes.

Outside of that, he likes nice girls who talk about/have strong families. He was raised in a pretty strong family structure and values his family a lot, so it makes sense for him to want to be with someone who wants the same (or a similar) situation.

Since he canonically creeps on at least Rictor... I think Pietro could mentally get over being attracted to/being with a man intellectually, but again... He's really family focused and a little bit old fashioned. He wants a family and thus wouldn't really pursue a relationship with a man unless he was head over heels in love? As for a physical type, his lasting friendships with men have all just so happened to be with tall, muscular blond guys. I don't think it's a stretch to assume that's what he would go for, at least physically. And as for the Rictor thing specifically, I think he was just trying to throw Jamie/the rest of X-Factor off and pull some further manipulation bullshit on Ric.

Stephen just likes the ladies. He likes women who are strong and playful and will call him on his melodramatic bullshit. He also likes women with a wild side. He's a little bit old fashioned, though, and still wants to feel like the "man" or the one leading the relationship. Part of why he and Clea lasted so long is that she sort of... Let him think that in a lot of ways? While he needs that ego-stroking on a regular basis, he's very willing to admit when he's been an ass and needs somebody who will forgive him regularly and freely. It helps if they can have a sense of humor and be amused by it on some level.

Physically, he doesn't have much of a type, but either an affinity for magic or interest in Sherlock Holmes really helps.

Jason likes strong ladies who don't take shit from anybody. That's kind of his only requirement. Looks are a plus, but they come second to attitude.

Doom is Valeria-sexual forever? I sort of think he's got a mommy complex and wants a woman who will remind him of her in some way, but that's... Just a suspicion? And yeah, I realize Children's Crusade exists. I'm going to continue to ignore it, thanks.
