Not me, I'm a girl and I like girls. But in games, I'll try different romances, that have nothing to do with preference, for role-playing purpose.

And I look forward to Karlach, I already love her voice and personality and I really don't care, how she looks.

And, although I'm not the audience target for them, I'm not really that impressed with the male companions. One is an evil asshole and the brooding vampire stereotype, that sadly became so common, since shows/books like Twilight, Vampire Diaries and True Blood became popular. The other two have a demon and a goddess as exes and they are clearly not over them... so not really interesting in my book.

Maybe that is one of the reasons, some girls want to see a Halsin romance, he seems to be a bit more down to earth (of course I know, many like his looks too)

I wouldn't mind to get Alfira as a (romanceable) companion though. I really like her.

And generally I agree with Passerby, that probably the majority of players want to be attracted to a potential romance, so maybe Larian should see, that there are a bit more 'conventional' attractive characters around.

I know, that I'm the minority insofar, that I don't do the romances, because I'm attracted to the characters (although I do find SH attractive), but solely for role-playing.
For example, my favorite romance in Dragon Age Inquisition was Iron Bull, despite him being the wrong sex, a Qunari (not a fan) and a warrior (I like roguetypes better). But he was so well written and his romance was indeed the best of them.
