There are many female players who has stated that they find Garrus and/or other Turians to be somewhat or very attractive. As a guy, I don't really see why this is. I find Turians look pretty damn cool, but I don't see much in the way that could be considered very attractive to a female player. Tali I can understand: she may have a helmet and odd hands and feet, but her body is distinctly and recognizably feminine, and comparable to an attractive human. Turian bodies, despite being bipedal, are significantly different in structure than male humans, and their faces are completely different.
This is not intended to be a criticism at all: I thing Turians are awesome! I'm just curious to know what makes them physically attractive to female players (or gay players as well, to be fair).
Female players: why do you find Turians attractive?

I'm only guessing, as I am not a female myself, but it seems to me that there are many reasons why turians are attractive:
-The metallic effect to their voice.
-Their exotic avian profile. The fact that they are NOT like humans can be a point of attraction in and of itself.
-Their fierce eyes and the fact that their expressions are conveyed solely through their mandibles and brow. Part of the reason dogs are considered cute and adorable is because their brow is so expressive.

Why I 'manced Garrus:
BADASS >>>>>> happens to be an ugly space-dinosaur.
SEXY VOICE >>>>> happens to be an ugly space-dinosaur.
FUNNY AS HELL >>>>> happens to be an ugly space-dinosaur.
CARES ABOUT SHEPARD >>>>> happens to be an ugly space-dinosaur.
TRUE BRO >>>>> happens to be an ugly space-dinosaur.
Additionally, Thane's too emo, Liara's creepy, and Jacob and Kaidan are boring (DISCLAIMER: in my opinion).
IN SUM: Everything else >>>>> looks, and the sheer amount of awesome negates the fact that his j*zz can kill you.
Badassery and sexy voices can also account for other turians with fangirls.
Oh yeah, and what that dude up thar ^ said about the eyes, brows, and avian profile is also true. Plus they kind of have kitty faces :3

I don't understand either, I'm a girl but I chose to play Male Shepard because I didn't find any of the LIs of FemShep attractive at all.

The voice I can certainly understand (again, Tali with the super sexy accent).
I'm sure many girls are attracted to Garrus' personality, but there also slews of females who write fanfic and draw pictures of other turians besides Garrus. There has to be some sort of a physical attraction factor there, as not all Turians will have the same personality as Garrus.

I'm a guy & I find Garrus attractive. Is there something wrong with that? Garrus isn't the most attractive alien, but he does have a sense of humor. Guess female players like that 
?

That may be true, but there are some cool non-turian characters in the game (i.e. Mordin) but I never see people drawing pictures or writing stories about Salarian romances. I'm still prone to believe there is something about Turians that makes them physically more attractive.
Furthermore, while looks can be overlooked considerably in favor of personality, there must be something that is either attractively masculine or feminine about someone in appearance to make them romantically attractive. Point in case: if I was wrong, sexuality wouldn't exist: you'd be equally as attracted to men or women as long as they had a good personality.

Salarians don't have sex drives the way the other races do. I'd imagine that's why they don't see much racey fan art.

I'd hit on a female Turian (do they even exist? I've never seen one) or female Krogan (though the Krogan would probably kill me thereafter)

I understand. For me, it's more of the "that guy is cool, I'd like to be like him" explanation though: the physical attraction is the one I'm trying to figure out. Go to an art conglomerate site like deviantart and look up Turians: you'll find a fair share of nude and suggestive pictures, lol.

True, I guess maybe Turians are "close enough" to humans that their masculinity could be attractive, while the other races are just too different or appear too one-dimensional (i.e. the goofy, clumsy Volus or the ADHD Salarians).

Don't look at it. It looks like somebody took Saren and stuffed his head in a blender.

But Saren already looked like his head went through a blender.

Turians seem to be more variable in their appearance than other races, it's possible they'll change it.

Not even Thane? I'd totally bang that fine piece of fish ass if I were a chick.

i don't mind it, but that was also just one female turian.
look at male turians. they vary pretty greatly. look at saren's side face extension things, for example.
however, i'd like to see just a little frill on the rest of the females.

Thane is supposed to be attractive for female players. Not just his looks, but also his personality and whatnot.

Thane is similar to Tali in my analogy though. He may be reptilian,but his face and body are fairly human-looking: I can understand the attraction. Turians do not really have recognizable human features, so I am confused as to what parts of them female players find attractive. Eyes I can probably guess, but that's about it.
