What a fascinating post, litlover. I agree with you it seems the majority of women prefer the haughty literature heroes. I've lost count the number of times I've politely listened to gushings about Mr. Darcy and/or John Thornton, who personally rub me the way. Haughtiness is not my cup of tea, and thus something must be wrong with me, oh heavens.
I am very much in the camp of the gentler, sensitive, kind gentleman: Arthur Clennam, Osbourne and Roger Hamley, Charles Bingley, Edmund Bertram, Henry Tilney, Colonel Brandon, and Raoul de Chagny.
...I also heart Sydney Carson though he doesn't fit either category.
P.S. Thank you for mentioning my little story on Dickensblog. I am honored. :)
