Tips for Writing Cliché Male Romantic Lead
A male lead has a handful of features that are to be described in as many places of your story as possible:
His eyes (more commonly referred to as orbs, jewels, or seas) are the windows to his soul.
His furrowed brow
His throbbing member
He quirks his eyebrow
He cannot stop smirking
Writing from the male POV
Use a lot of curse words
Write about how much he wants to have sex with the female lead. All the time.
He should have the ability to express the full spectrum of emotions other than anger in his POV. He must be vulnerable.
He must find his MC's innocence to be her most attractive feature. It's why he loves her, for her fragility.
He must be turned on when she goes from wallflower to Terminator and leaves him.
