I don't know if I want him to be a fop, but definitely someone who cares a little bit about how he looks.<br /><br />And how should he redeem himself? Hmmmm...that's a difficult question. I would say by doing something special for the heroine. Not necessarily buying something material, but some little thing that is very important to her.Lisa Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14689938117922437684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57166953240040768.post-66565391183863552442011-08-10T08:24:55.978-04:002011-08-10T08:24:55.978-04:00I like a man clean shaven and in good physical sha...I like a man clean shaven and in good physical shape.

I normally don't really care so much about a man's appearance. <br /><br />If he's clean looking and smells good the actual outfit doesn't matter a whole lot to me. <br /><br />But a pink coat and bright red pair of breeches is perhaps not my fav style for a guy.Jo's Daughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01271078986113832925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57166953240040768.post-31393041751470566462011-08-03T21:20:47.247-04:002011-08-03T21:20:47.247-04:00Miranda -

Whether that be in fashion or how he does something doesnt matter, but the charisma that shows through it does. <br />And for me a hero definitely has to redeem himself with the heroine in a way that leaves no doubt that he not only loves and respects her, but also regrets and is sorry for his mistake.
