All of the romance sub-plots are very well done whether male or female. My personal favourite is Garrus, and the scars don't detract from it at all in my opinion (though I suppose I'm a bit biased). Thane's isn't bad either, and even though he's suffering from some major Carth/Sky syndrome it's well-written and dramatic. I felt that the Tali and Garrus romances had an automatic leg up over the competition though, because of their shared backstory with Shepard. They feel like they progress more realistically, which is helped by the time spent on establishing their characters in ME1, when the writers didn't have to worry about making them romanceable.
This is what makes Garrus my new favorite love interest. The gradual change from friend in the first game to love interest in the second was done incredibly well and gave the relationship a layer that most LIs don't have. It was a lot more satisfying than the usual 'getting to know each other > awkward flirting > in love forever' formula that moves way too fast for how serious they supposedly are for each other.
Yeah, they really do break the formula of most bioware love interests (who usually only stick around for one game).
Conversation #1
PC: Hello NPC I would like to know about your backstory
NPC: OK PC, you should know X Y and Z about me
Conversation #2
PC: Hello again NPC, I suddenly find you extremely attractive
NPC: I agree wholeheartedly PC, and may I add that you have a great personality, unfortunately I have unresolved backstory X and cannot commit to a relationship
Conversation #3
PC: I love you NPC
NPC: Now that backstory X is solved I love you too, let's have sex because it's the end of the game and we will never ever see each other again
