User blog comment:AdmMiller/What's so great about Tali? And why do most dislike Miranda?/@comment-1942617-20100713192515

AdmMiller, Another thing that may make Tali more appealing is that she's an alien.

She's the only alien romance option for a male Sheperd. I think that people would find the idea of shagging an alien more attractive because the only other romances are human,and some people may have done that already in reality.
