But I agree that Shepard does have a tendency to look for romances to underlings rather than equals.
Probably the only thing appealing me to the Ashley romance in ME3 (Spectre + Ex-Spectre? Hawt) and Kelly (She's a subordinate but really doesn't grovel at Shepard's feet).

He won't have any left after my Shepard gets through with him. <3
Hopefully I'll be able to reanact this scene from Witcher 2 between them.

Still, if you have a look at TIM's recent flings, none of them fits in the same category as FemShep. They're... just not each other's type. I prefer to think of TIM as a friend and advisor.

I agree with laecraft and Seboist that TIM is indeed a very attractive man. I just don't think he and FemShep are suitable for each other. At least not the way I play my FemShep.

TIM? No. Saren? Maybe.Seboist wrote...
To quote King Henselt in Witcher 2 "Every wench dreams of being ploughed by a king" , in this case it's by an Illusive Man.
Yep, if there's going to be any ploughing by high-class, semi-evil cyborgs, it's gotta be Mr. Arterius.

I think TIM just saves time. Shepard does the same, since Shepard doesn't look any further than the ship.

The Illusive Man is trying to find everlasting youth with Reaper nanites, possibly to hook up with CougarShep?
Also I've been listening to my Renegade Shepard's "theme song" and feel it applies to TIM, more so after Evolution when Ben and Eva died.
Oh, that's a good song.

She likes to create traits for characters she doesn't like to make her hate more resolute and hide any redeeming factors from said character.

Can't say anything about Saren. But I find TIM attractive both before and...after the Monolith. And besides, look at Shepard. Sure it's possible to conceal the scars, but Shepard's still stuffed with implants, with nothing but the skin covering it all.

You know something?
I think those files are fabricated.
This has been bothering me for a while, now. Here is a man who has been talked up to be brilliant, innovative, possessing an information network nearly as extensive as the Shadow Broker's, and who is insanely paranoid about his personal security. This is a man who moves his entire base of operations every time a trusted operative sets foot in it. Why in the name of pants would such a man willingly jeapordize that security by having flings with matriarchs, porn stars and skyball champions?
More tellingly, how could he possibly overlook a security leak as massive as someone knowing exactly how many cigarettes he smokes (and drinks he consumes) per day?
Not that I'm implying he doesn't have some semblance of a personal life- but It would make more sense for him to have a visible body-double who engages in said activities, in order to shunt attention away from the real man in charge. Or, possibly, have something that intercepts any actual information leaks and replaces them with false information- he is the sort of person who would get a kick out of talking himself up as some kind of intergalactic sex god. It's like some warped version of a "your mom" joke.
I could be giving the writers too much credit, of course, but the disconnect between everything we've been told about the Illusive Man (in the books as well as the game) and a couple of humorous dossiers is... jarring, to say the least.

Alternatively, that's what Jack Harper the entrepeneur does, and only the Shadow Broker has figured out he's actually TIM, and all the people that purchase that secret tend to wind up dead, so it's still a mystery.

My theory is that when TIM wants to go out and have fun, he assumes any of his many false identities. In other words, he goes out under extremely heavy and high tech makeup, and leaves a body double in his office.
In the words of Henry Kissinger, "Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac." If you look at the personal lives of some powerful and charismatic people in history, such as Julius Caesar, John F Kennedy or Bill Clinton, you'd be surprised how much risks they put themselves in just to sate some of their more basic desires. It appears irrational, but it's how these people work.
The true ascetic must disavow power and lust at the same time. You cannot hold onto one without tasting the other.
