Did growing up change your taste in LIs ?

In some ways. Probably what's changed the most is that I like red flags LIs less now.
 
looking back, i believe younger me went for "safer" choices, save for the occasional bad boy (i'm looking at you, castiel from MCL). i'd usually go for either the cheery or nerdy types.

i don't remember my thought process, but there was something about it that made me scared of being judged of liking more uncommon characters, even if i didn't have friends that liked to discuss these types of games.

i feel that nowadays i'm much more diverse to my tastes and not afraid to like something that would be out of left field, like yanderes, outright snarky, and such.

the only thing that didn't change about me at all is perhaps my preference of visuals? i usually go for long haired and/or red haired. that is definitely a ++++++++ for me!!!
my main oc is basically everything i like in male characters.

Honestly? Not really. My past self never chose from an archetype and I still don't. The only type of LI that didn't caught my atention back then was the "cutesy" type and that hasn't changed either.

Totally. I used to like the really cute but secretly dangerous LIs a lot back then; now I have a strange obsession over the pretty ones with long hair or a stupid dumb LI.

Oh, but the sweet LI that literally cannot harm a fly but will be harsh and mean if necessary is good too. 🤤

I feel that I have gotten more selective with the characters I like. While the personality quirks/tropes I like remained more or less the same, I feel that it's harder to enjoy them if the storyline and the MC are lacking or not developed enough.

For me, nah, I still like what I liked ~ It is just that I like more types compared to the past
 
I think I don't change that much. I still like the LIs I liked over 10 years ago. My friends said my taste is quite solid and easy to realize the pattern too.
Rather than change, I can say I've found new interest in some troupe, but the old didn't change.
 
Actually the taste is not changed but the story preference changed, for example, the realistic stories become less attractive because they remind me about the reality :(, but it has nothing to do with the characters themselves~
 
It's been a long time since I entered the maiden world, so the older character I used to like is younger than me😆But I still like it😊

Because of that, I just think cute characters are cute like children.
 
I think i did…i used to like really cool kuudere type of characters !! With like those deep voices ( when i was really young ) but now i'm more into soft type like tsunderes and the ganki type !! With those dynamic expressions and sometimes blushing all shyly…I ADORE THAT KIND OF LI and it even became my type of men in general…

I feel like not much has changed, but it has become a little more difficult to like characters at first glance compared to before.
 
I think i liked more young or feminine looking guys, when i was younger. Which is natural in my opinion, since I myself and boys my age, were young and they just still looked more feminine or androgynous. As i was getting older, my preferences slowly began to shift away from that and i startet to like characters more, that looked a little bit more manly.
 
Honestly, this hits close to home. I used to be all about the cold, stoic types when I was younger, but now I find myself gravitating way more toward the gentle, emotionally available ones. Not that I don't still have a soft spot for my old faves — revisiting them still feels like coming home, even if I see them a little differently now.

honestly? yeah. back when i was younger, the absolute worst red flags looked like a fun challenge. the yanderes, the toxic ore-samas, the guys who literally needed professional help—i was always like "i can fix him" or just loved the sheer drama of it.

but growing up completely flips your perspective. now? give me the ultimate green flags. i just want someone who is nice, communicates like a normal human, and doesn't make me anxious. the sweet, supportive golden retriever types or the reliable kuuderes hit way different when you actually have real-life stress to deal with.

toxicity is just exhausting now. having a love interest who actually respects you and treats you well is so much hotter than someone locking you in a room or yelling at you.
 
i think no, mostly the same, but now his character has to make sense and feel realistic, like a real human. i feel strange if a character is too perfect and unrealistic.
 
Yes, in the past my taste is the princely type but now is the grand duke of the north type, wkwkwk 😂 I guess it's influenced by the things I read and watched over years.
 
Tsunderes have been my one of all-time favourite since I was young, and that hasn't changed.

I've just become more open-minded over time. Certain archetypes of love interests didn't appeal to me in my early teens, but after playing certain routes, I came to appreciate them. For example, long-haired love interests weren't my type, but Collar x Malice's Kageyuki Shiraishi won me over and changed my perspective.
 
My taste has definitely expanded as I've grown up. I used to really only go for a set type of character, but now my taste is all over the place. It really just depends on the phase I'm in and how I'm feeling at the time. :full:
 
Not really.
Even though I'm getting older, I feel more diverse, even though the characters I like may have the same similarities as before or be 180 degrees different.
 
Nope, still the same old me liking yandere, red flags, and calm dudes, maybe bcause its bring comfort and its something that im familiar growing up (although, i only play mobile otome and watch anime at that time). Well, that being said, i guess that my preference broaden now that i also like genki guys, not really the one who screams a lot and too hot-blooded, but more like sunny and talkative
