While checking out fan comments all over the internet, I noticed that perhaps the most popular romance options are:

 

Garrus for femShep

 

Tali for manShep

 

I've always wondered why exactly is that?

 

I think part of the reason is that the scenes for both characters are somewhat awkward and dare I say cute. Another could probably be because of how ridiculous they are. I mean, Garrus's biology is incompatible with Shepard's and Tali's immune system is so weak that even a kiss could be fatal, so theorettically they would never happen, yet the option is still there for the players to experience and it was very well executed.

 

Do you guys have any ideas why these two romance options are so popular?

Another reason is that they're companions for all three games, so Shepard/the player gets to know them pretty well by the end.

Going by Garrus's dialogue in the Citadel DLC, it must be his voice. For Tali I imagine it is a combination of hot bod and personality.

Meh, body wise, asari and miranda beat tali any day.

For you perhaps, but a lot of people find the calamari space smurfs less attractive and many dislike Miranda for her cold personality

I agree with Geth47 on most things, except for the virginity part. Not all guys are obsessed with virginity and that was honestly the least thing I cared about with Tali or Liara. But everyone is different I s'pose.

So I have differing opinions of beauty and I certainly hope the game hasn't distorted your view of human females. But I am certain your attraction to Tali is more than a waist that (depending on Tali's uniform) is equivalent or 2 inches in diameter smaller than a human or asari or a face that is drawn to look like a night elf or 13 year old with flaxen hair or ya know a supermodel.

You are way too defensive about an animated piece of behind

Haha, oh no don't take my comments too seriously, they're not meant to be. I'm not the kind of person so into a game that it would affect any of their views on anything in real life and yes I do realize that Quarian figure is quite ludicrous. This is a sci-fi videogame after all and it's hard to compare video game characters with real people.

The one problem I have with Asari is the tentacles, but to each his/her own.

I think the reason Garrus is so popular is not only his voice (DAMNN!) but he grows with you through the games as a friend first before he becomes romanceable.  It's a slower build up and one that feels more natural.  He's even pretty decent if change your mind romance wise.  I was ok with Thane but his trippy visions weirded me out and then the less said about his sad ending the better.  Jacob, well I can't say he did a lot for me and the semi-creepy way FemShep talked to him finished me off.

 

Physically turians reflect the broad shoulder/chest and narrow hips shape that is attractive to females so they've got a better chance of appealing to a human female than say a krogan who looks more like a giant shell-less snapping turtle.

They are not popular romance options, the most popular is Liara in ME1 and Miranda in ME2, from what I recall. Tali and Garrus are only popular online from what I can see.

It makes sense, Liara is great in me1 and miranda, dat ass...
