User blog comment:AdmMiller/What's so great about Tali? And why do most dislike Miranda?/@comment-2174252-20100713181942

AdmMiller, I think it boils down to one quality Tali has that many of us find attractive and no one in this discussion has mentioned: VULNERABILITY. Males have been program for thousands of years to protect our females. Maybe today that is not as relevant as it used to be, but it’s still valid in our collective subconscious. It manifests itself in different ways, as many here see her as a sister (most of us are protective of our sisters). There is something about Tali that says: “I need to be protected”. Many of us find that sexy. Tali is sincere, naïve (even after the maturity developed in ME2) and YES, she admires Sheppard.

Besides, Tali is attractive on her own merits. She’s got a nice body and, as Kelly Chamber mentioned, the way she moves when she is speaking with you says: “I want you”. I don’t know you but I find that very sexy. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a Tali fanboy I like the chase too, as a matter of fact my first romance was Miranda (that stunning piece of A), but I find every romance option in the game interesting
