How the hell can a person say they can't tell is someone of the same sex as them is attractive?  Seriously, get over your homophobia already.

I can't believe I'm actually dignifying your comment with an answer to which you will no doubt try to find some other way to fail to insult me or otherwise get under my skin, but I feel it must be done.

You think this is the first time someone's called me that?  Please, I've heard it all.  Your problem is you have no clue what that word means.  Let's take a look:

homophobia -unreasoning fear of or antipathy toward homosexuals  and homosexuality

homosexuality - sexual desire or behavior directed toward a person or persons of one's own sex


The definition would suggest I have fear or hate for not only men who are sexually attracted to someone of the same sex, but for women too.

It's not possible for me to have such a condition when I have no aversion or fear of women who are sexually attracted to other women.

Jack isn't flat.

I've seen chubby 10 year old boys with bigger ******.

3 She should be popping out of that strap all the time if this game cared.

Maybe in your itty bitty ****** committee, but in the real world she is flat. He chest is equivalent to a slightly husky man. Those mosquito bites fit her fine though. Her outfit would just be too over the top if she had normal sized breasts.

Weren't you that one that called Samara's butt flat? Is this Sir mix-a-lot?

Although I have an intense attraction to turians, it was not something that came about instantaneously. At first, I thought they just looked interesting and had nice sounding voices. Yet, as I delved deeper into the lore and got to know the characters better, my appreciation took on a different shade. Mere curiosity gave way to genuine admiration. It may sound unusual, I know, but I've never been one for normalcy.

Personality means a great deal more to me than one's physical form. Let's use Garrus as an example. He has all the qualities I look for in a mate. He's intelligent, loyal, passionate and, above all, sincere. Even if it results in great personal suffering, he will refuse to compromise his values. In my eyes, this is incredibly attractive. The fact that he's a turian is no longer relevant. Individuals with such profound integrity are exceedingly rare and I'd consider it a privilege to be with such a person. To answer the OP's question, it was at this point that a physical attraction began to develop.

Unlike most of the respondents in this thread, I would pursue a relationship with a turian if they actually existed. Yes, there would be numerous obstacles. Intercourse would be difficult, if not outright impossible, and reproduction is out of the question entirely. My response, however, is "so what?" Since when are these things prerequisites for love? Yes, I doubt turian and human genitalia are compatible. But why does this matter? Many disabled persons, living in the here and now, lead healthy, fulfilling sex lives despite complications. The similarities between the two should be obvious.

I believe it is unhealthy to become too caught up in conventional ways of thinking. It isn't always as simple as "insert tab A into slot B." Hell, we're talking about a universe with FTL space travel and giant, robotic cuttlefish. Individuals willing to engage in interspecies relationships would find ways to make them work (chirality-friendly condoms, dental dams, toys, et cetera).

Getting back on topic, I'd like to briefly discuss symbolism. Interspecies relationships are easily visible yet poignant examples of tolerance. More importantly, their presence reminds us that love is (or, at least, can be) universal. Messages like these are, in my opinion, invaluable.

Then again, what do I know? I'm "weird."

This is the post of the week. Exactly what you said! I love it when people open their minds to broader possibilities .

NOTE:  This topic is not putting down the characters of Garrus or Tali, nor is it putting down those who romance them.  I am just wondering why some see these characters as attractive in the physical sense.
-----------------------------------

I have never understood why some mass effect fans have some physicall attraction towards Garrus or Tali.

Garrus is like a dinosaur.  So i don't know why some see his body as attractive.

And Tali.....chicken feet, weird legs, weird hands, unknown face, nuff said.

Garrus and Tali i believe are the most alien out of all the romance opitions.  So i wonder why some seem so attracted to their alien attributes.  Or do people choose to romance these characters not because of their physical body?  What are your thoughts about this topic?

I think most people are attracted to their personalities and strong voice acting. It's a nice example of people looking past the physical. If you like who someone is underneathe, their appearance becomes something you find attractive.

[King Minos]

The only way I could fall in love with a Turian would have to be their personality, I can not being physically attracted to them, for Quarians, physical attraction would depend on how their face is dealt with. Do Quarians cover their feet up? I think bare Quarian feet may make me feel sick, running through **** non stop with those chicken feet is off putting.

[Forsythia]

Tali is mostly attractive because of her voice. That accent, those rolling r's, it's bloody sexy. And those hips are damn fine of course.

tall + broad shoulders + tapered waist + strong legs + overall predatory air + gravelly, sexy voice = human alpha male

It's simple, really. And just enough to counterbalance the sharp teeth and claws (although those add to the predatory vibe), the hard skin, the mandibles and the odd collar.

This. Strong, super masculine male = sexy and uber appealing to me. Plus, why not? It's fantasy and I want fantasize about something more interesting and exotic than another human (or human-looking alien). Don't get me wrong, I have my limits, I don't think I'd ever find a hanar or elcor attractive. And I can't say with any degree of certainty that I'd be interested if they existed. But after growing up finding this, this, this, and this appealing (and not feeling weird about it since the human female characters seemed to deem them attractive as well), I think Turians are an innocent addition to the list. Plus, if I want to fantasize about a human male I can turn to the perfect one with whom I just recently celebrated six wonderful years.

The Garrus romance isn't about physical attraction. He calls Shepard out on this when she makes a move on him, knowing that he probably looks weird from a human's perspective (and vice versa). The point of the romance is that they share a comfortable, unassuming relationship built upon enquivocal trust. They care about each other, and want to be closer. That's what I got from it, anyway.
