Pretty much what everyone else has been saying; the personality, the voice and that damn dorkable laugh. It's hard to resist it.

Mhm, it might not be to every girl's tastes but turians in general have that really old-school masculine look.. wide shoulders tapering down to a narrow waist, basically a triangle-shaped torso. Even if he isn't ripped (and I'm sure he is, given his hand-to-hand expertise) just that general shape.. and those long legs and arms.. unf. Yeah, I said it.

But it is sort of an "acquired" taste, the appearance for some.

Someone else mentioned trust and how the general relationship (the non-romantic side of it) between Garrus and Shepard evolves over the games. That's a huge, huge factor. You know this guy has your back, no matter what and you have his. It's not quite as creepy as how Liara clings to Shepard or awkward with how Tali goes all fangurl.. there's genuine trust and respect going on that can turn into affection bordering on adoration.

It's like.. two war buddies falling in love, they've got their scars and dark pasts but they also understand each other so intuitively that they couldn't expect anyone else to understand. Understanding, trust, respect..unyielding loyalty. Yeah, those are the real warm and fuzzies.

Doesn't hurt that he's taller/larger than Shepard.. most girls like their man to be bigger than them for the cuddles.

It feels like I've just described my husband now that I read over that post, minus the voice of course. It's a toss up between an Aussie accent or Brandon Keener's smoothness

[AllThatJazz]

What Leonia said a few posts above. Not the husband bit, I wouldn't know!

Personally, I'm a sucker for a sexy voice. And Brandon Keener has a very sexy voice that suits the character absolutely perfectly.

There's also something quite conflicted about Garrus. An essentially good individual but with a streak of something a bit darker that he doesn't know whether to combat or embrace. That's interesting, and interesting very often = sexy.

Finally, humour. He's snarky and cynical without being unnecessarily cruel. That, along with a touch of self-deprecation, is an appealing characteristic.

He is pretty easy to tolerate. Low maintenance. He doesn't whine, his does his job, he has some snark without, as you said, being unnecessarily cruel, but is willing to do what it takes to get the job done.  He is skilled without being overly egotistical (not attractive trait at all) and has his personal demons, which means he actually *thinks*, has led a life of something other than just priveledge and it has given his personality a little bit of depth...some dimension.   An air of experience without an attitude of entitlement.

My shame is, if he was real, I think I wouldn't be able to help myself but be to Garrus what Conrad Verner is to Shep........Hero worship extreme............

What's not to love about Garrus? Next to Tali, he's my Shepard's loyalist and truest friend who always trusts him and has his back.

Of course I had to let him take a rocket to the face so he wouldn't steal all the lasses away. But I'm sure (based on her emails) Dr. Chloe will love the chance to 'tend' him.

Voice and personality. 

I agree with everything said by everyone else here, plus the fact that Brandon Kenner is doing a wordeful job voicing him and bringing the character to life.

All my Shepards consider him a bro romanced or not. They just know they can trust the guy.

His face doesn't attract the ladies, its his manliness and machismo that make fem sheps and some male sheps go gaga.

Allow me to point out that I think you used the wrong word here.
Machismo means that he looks down on women because they are women, and thinks they should be pregnant and in the kitchen... <_<

And macho means manly...not sure If that was what you wanted to say...

That would be male chauvinism.

Machismo usually involves one of these.

What makes Garrus attractive to this girl is his personality.  The great voice acting helps too.

Garrus is the guy you trust at your back in a firefight, who gives you his honest and reasoned assessment of the crapfest that is your situation (but still backs your play), and who has this wonderful self-deprecating sense of humor.  

Garrus uses self-deprecating humor to diffuse other folks' tension, which is a very remarkable and rare thing.  The guy makes fun of his facial scarring in one scene where he accidentally walks in on two people talking about his low chance of survival from being injured by a rocket.  (paraphrase) "I hear some women are attracted to guys with scars; Krogan women, of course.")   He later brings it up again to diffuse tension ("I didn't know you liked men with scars, Shepard...").  

If you choose to not pursue the romance at a later point, he shrugs and suggests that the two of you go out and blow things up as a bonding thing. So yeah, he's a class act.

Well, I'm spanish, and I assure you that in Spain machismo == male chauvinism.

machismo.
1. m. Actitud de prepotencia de los varones respecto de las mujeres.  source by RAE

That translates as:  Arrogant attitude of men towards women.

No idea about what use other countries make of that word....  


On topic:

I don't know what others think, but I also liked ( as silly as it may sound ) his body language. ROLF.

He just looked so great in this pose:

 

[Sister Helen]

Someone did a screen capture in another thread at one point of Garrus sitting with his arms around his knees on a back bench during the Tali trial. It looked adorable as all heck.

[Srast]

He can be a total badass or a total dork as various times, but he's always awesome and fun. What can I say, he's my favorite character and if I was femshep I would totally hook up with him.

He is space Batman, that is all.

[ThatDancingTurian]

His personality, his sense of humor, the fact that he can toss Harkin like a rag doll, his loyalty and dependability, his self-deprecation, the fact that he turned into space batman, and definitely the voice. Garrus also fits into the paradoxical fantasy of a bad boy rebel who you can still trust with your heart.

That's not to say there's nothing physical about it. He has the most gorgeous eyes. As far as aliens go, turians are one of the more aesthetically pleasing species in Mass Effect, IMO. I find him much more physically attractive than any of the humans in-game, who look freaky to me. They're all computer animated, so in the end it's all relative.

And call me krogan, but I dig the scars.
