Looking back, I remember being generally attracted to HVM characters in TV Shows as a kid. I was in awe of both their physical strength, empathy, kindness, and good moral compass.

For instance, Clark Kent from Smallville was exactly this way (as far as I remember). And so was Hercules from Hercules. They were both kind and did not conform to the tough-dude narrative that tends to get romanticized. I now realize I’ve been looking for someone like one of them for awhile now, it’s quite interesting to explore.

What other HV characters (female or male) have shaped your “taste” for future partners?
