Discussion | What's Your Type?

Posted on Wednesday, February 5, 2014 4:30 AM

I'm sure that we all have a certain type IRL and in books that we are constantly drawn to and always find ourselves leaning their way. Whether it be the nice guy, the nerd, the boy next door, the jock, the bad boy, etc.

Some people might be drawn to one type in books/movies but be interested in a completely different type IRL. But I'm not one of them. Personally, I have ALWAYS been drawn to the bad boy type, whether it be in books or movies on in real life.

Now, I'm not talking about the dangerous, psycho guys that make you want to sleep with one eye open. I'm talking about the tattooed, don't give a shit what anybody thinks type of guy. I don't know what it is about them that catches my attention, but I have always been that way.

Most of my favorite male characters are 'bad boys'. Here's a few:

- Bones, Night Huntress Series by Jeaniene Frost

- Warner - Shatter Me Series by Tahereh Mafi

- Isaiah - Crash Into You by Katie McGarry

- Kaidan - Sweet Series by Wendy Higgins

- Jerricho Barrons - Fever Series by Karen Marie Moning

- Sean - Uninvited by Sophie Jordan

- Vlad - Night Prince Series by Jeaniene Frost

Now, I want to know what your type is. Are you a bad boy fanatic like me? Or do you like the good guys?

I'm hopelessly both haha In books, I love the bad boys, they're just so confident! Kaidan, Jerricho and Warner are some of my favourites too! But the nerdy types are so endearing, and are what I go for in read life. Some great nice guys are Matt- Flat Out Love, Jase- My Life Next Door, and if you want a bit of both worlds, Josh- The Sea of Tranquility ;)

I agree with Chantelle, I like all of them! Matt from Flat Out Love...love him. And Jase too. And then the strong silent guys who are the good guys, like Chaol from Crown of Midnight, Dimitri from VA, Aiden from the Covenant series. But then I also like the obnoxious bad boys, like Adrian from Bloodlines (although he grows and changes and I probably wouldn't consider a bad boy now), and Daemon from the Lux series. So yeah, sadly love them all! :)

Hmm.. that's hard to answer. I think in books I am more the "bad boy" type but I do like sweet ones too. My husband falls into the "nerdy/tough guy" category so..

And HELL YES JERRICHO. He is probably my ALL TIME FAVORITE LOL
