oop it's my favorite notmeme again

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?

Bradbury got married straight out of high school in canon; however, that relationship didn't end well, since the first time we see his not-yet-ex-wife he's trying to peel her out of the strip club she's been working. She's actually relatively attractive, physically speaking, though that's more than compensated for by her attitude. He was dumped pretty badly, though, and the fact that he's still wearing his wedding ring suggests that it's something he hasn't quite let go of - not because he still has romantic feelings about her, necessarily, but perhaps to remind himself that getting involved with anyone is a bad idea.

Having said that, Bradbury's not above a little aesthetic appreciation. He seems to favor blondes (way to be predictable) and by all accounts is a fine connoisseur of T&A.

Personality-wise, he's driven to be a protector for whoever he's attracted to. He's more of a follower than a leader, so he's attracted to people with a purpose or strong personalities. He likes the feeling of being needed/wanted in general, so being able to be that kind of support for someone is pretty much what he wants to get out of his relationships. Unfortunately, he has a poor sense of when his help isn't actually necessary.

TL;DR: Bradbury's pretty much the paragon of a TOTALLY HETEROSEXUAL MAN!!! However, given that he later [SPOILER]falls in love with Mitch in canon[/SPOILER], there's some argument to be made that he himself has little idea of who or what he really wants, and that the only consistency he has is falling for people who'll break his heart.
