my taste in men is so horrible that I can't even say its good ironically

“I want this one!” I yell and blindly, without error, manage to singlehandedly point at the most unstable man in a 50 mile radius

My taste is easy to understand either he is old enough to be my dad and a nerd or he is old enough to be my dad and a serial killer.

an essay about my type of man: a half assed self-study

i have noticed a trend in my taste of men, and in this self proclaimed ted talk i’m going to try and dissect it properly.

starting off, we’ve got Han Solo, who was basically my movie crush. what is he like? charismatic, pretty, witty, impatient, realistic, short tempered, self confident (to a certain extent) and funny. now at first i just assumed that i just liked people who could start a conversation with me so i didn’t have to do the hard work.

but turns out; it’s deeper than that.

secondly, we’ve got the man, the myth, the malewife, the murderer: Anakin Skywalker. what is this (disastrous) man like? i’ll tell you what, nearly the exact same as Han, except he’s indefinitely more emotionally unstable, can’t really ‘socialise’, and has a shit ton of mummy issues.

then, we’ve got Jason Todd, my favourite sack of muscles and trauma. again we can apply all of the adjectives above (he can be charismatic when he puts his mind to it, trust me). it’s clear that this is a pattern here.

let’s add on Mr Darcy from Pride and Prejudice to this list and whamo, i think we have some type of coincidental thing here. except Darcy can’t socialise for shit.

but what type of pattern? i’ll tell you what, it is the pattern of the Byronic hero.

in the words of dictionary.com:

‘A Byronic hero is a type of fictional character who is a moody, brooding rebel, often one haunted by a dark secret from his past. The term describes the type of main character found in many fictional works by Lord Byron, who is said to have had this type of personality.’

and here’s more damning evidence:

‘Often the Byronic hero is moody by nature or passionate about a particular issue. He also has emotional and intellectual capacities, which are superior to the average man. These heightened abilities force the Byronic hero to be arrogant, confident, abnormally sensitive, and extremely conscious of himself.’

are we seeing this? are we understanding it? of course we are, i know my audience isn’t stupid.

we can apply lots of popular male characters in media to this trait: Loki, Kylo Ren, Jack Sparrow, Battison, (possibly Edward Cullen if you stretch it...), Heathcliff from Wuthering Heights (if we must), Mr Rochester from Jane Eyre (again, if we must) and Snape (we’re going off of criteria here).

point being, there’s often trends in the most unlikely places, and they usually have a name. i didn’t really consider this until a couple of days ago, so you learn something new everyday, and occasionally, something new about yourself.

in my case, i learned that i’m attracted to emotionally damaged man-whores. but what can you do?
