femshep gets friction burns A LOT with garrus and male shep gets the same from tali, i think there both off shoots of the same speices, but evolved diffrently.
think about it, both have dextro DNA, both eveolved from an avian speices, both have 2 toes and 3 fingers, and even without the helmuts the quarians have that vibrating voice noise.
also that god awful photoshopped stock picture has been ultimatly rejected by everyone on what tali looks like.

Well, I have always seen Garrus and Tali's relationship as a brother & sister type, so I was really squicked out when I came upon them making out.
Although, Garrus does seem to quickly forget about Tali when he meets that female turian in the bar...

See, I really think that while Garrus and Tali could be a great couple (though I agree with the poster above, making them brother/sisterly in ME2 kind of made that odd to happen in ME3), Garrus is not as strongly attached to any potential romance as he would be with Female Shepard.
It's not entirely bias speaking here. It's mostly because Shepard is the protagonist, and the player is Shepard, and of course there is going to be a certain amount of pandering to the player to make them/the protagonist seem more important. For that same reason, Tali-mancers playing a different romance should be assured that Tali would drop Garrus like a hot potato if Shepard were to show any interest in her romantically.
There is also the fact that Garrus won't ever call Tali the love of his life, but he will do so in regard to Shepard.
But again, sad that Tali can't find someone else if she doesn't get Garrus. That doesn't seem right to me.

What?
Pretty sure quarians are mammals.
And again, d-amino acids dont make them related. That would mean humans and krogan are related as well.
Even turians aren't exactly avian, it's just their looks. The raloi are actually avian.

They're my two favorite characters, so I don't mind. Their baby would rule the universe with it's awesomeness!
I romance Garrus in my second playthrough, Tali in my third, and am total virgin in my first/cannon. So I played third wheel. Tis the circle of life

It's not that either of them doesn't deserve each other, it's a matter of chemistry. I just don't see it, personally.
What do they really have in common? I haven't really seen any answers to that other than 'dextro' or 'they've been with Shepard the longest'. Neither of those things is any sort of basis for a relationship. They're not really that suited, in my opinion, not in the long run. Garrus was raised in a military society whereas Tali was raised in a more communal society. Tali is soft-hearted, Garrus is more pragmatic. Tali will always want to be close to her people and her homeworld, but I can't imagine Garrus being content with that, he seems like the kind of guy who needs action, needs to move around.
I feel like people see "two dextro aliens" or "my two buds" and that's as far as they go with it. Personally, I think the reasons why their romancers are more against it than other people isn't always about petty jealousy as they have been accused of. We've spent a long time analyzing these characters and trying to figure out what makes them tick. So we have higher standards for them than 'oh, they're nice and they're dextro'. To me the bottom line is, I don't think they're perfect for each other. And perfect is what they both deserve.

Tali is probably my least favourite "main" romance (one that gets extensive screen time in two games, so amongst VS, Liara, Garrus and Tali). I like that she gets together with Garrus. I think there is some chemistry there, and it does suit them.

Quarians did not evolve from birds the way turians did. Neither maleshep gets friction burns.
After all krogan, salarian, asari, batarian and humans have levo-amino acids but they have evolved out of different species. Krogans are some kind of warm blooded lizard, salarians are amphibians, who knows what asari and batarians were.
Only asari, batarians and humans have five fingers other species have 3 nad their legs bent differently. it does not mean they are similar.

Note: Their DNA has more similarity.
I think the group of Talimancers who think this constitute a very small and very insular sect in the overall massive sea of people who romanced Tali.

I don't really like Garrus and Tali together because it was kinda tacked on in ME3 for no reason other then "cuz they're team dextro why the hell not". If they hinted at a Garrus/Tali relationship throughout the trilogy it would have been better and had potential for adorableness.

It's not just about deserving.
Garrus and Tali are both dextro-aminos - so they go together perfectly.
Fleet and Flotilla, anyone?
I was a little but surprised when Garrus went on that date with the turian female despite already being with Tali (at least I think - been so long since I played a full ME3 playthrough that I can't really remember!).
I dunno. Go back to ME1 and their Citadel elevator conversations, plus their little ME2 Citadel thing where they reminisce. Their convo in ME3 about getting up close and personal vs keeping distance is priceless.
I think they go together pretty well.
I've never romanced either, so... I'm happy for them

well in ME2, it was more of male shep and tali sort of thing. So when that didn't happen. During ME3 you can hear Tali and Garrus "flirting?" well more of tali dropping hints and Garrus missing them.

You sum up why i was'nt too fond of it myself. prior to ME3 they always strike me more as a siblings/snarky friendship then a romantic couple specially giving their behavior in prevously games.

I love Garrus and Tali together. I romanced Garrus with one of my femsheps but in my Liara/Kaidan romances it is ok with me if they are together.

Very well said, how I feel on the topic as well. I think the pairing of Garrus and Tali in ME3 was nothing short of a random act of fan service. Throwing two of the most popular characters together just cause the fans will eat it up.

No, their DNA is not technically more similar simply because they are both dextro based.

While I like Garrus, that doesn't mean I want him sexing up Tali. The only way that even happens, is if Shepard rejects Tali, or fails at her ME2 loyalty mission.
If your Shepard turns down Tali, sure let Garrus and Tali be together. Not ever gonna happen in my canon, so yeah, not my problem.

I like Garrus and Tali together. If you have them as your A team throughout the series and see all their interactions, I think you can make a strong argument for the logic behind it. Also, I don't think the Garrus/Tali romance shows up as "cemented" until right before Priority: Earth. At least so far as my memory goes. In that case, Tali is supplanting the female turian rather than the other way around.
