We don’t always like to admit it, but our taste in men can be a little… predictable. Some of us fall for the broody, emotionally unavailable types. Others can’t resist the charming guy who masks chaos with a smile. And then there are the girls who won’t settle for less than a king, cape included.
Here’s the thing: the superheroes you obsess over aren’t just posters on your wall or cinema crushes. They’re telling on you. They reveal the kind of partner you secretly (or not-so-secretly) crave, from the moody billionaire with too many issues to the golden boy who’d text “good morning, beautiful” every day until you’re sick of it.
So, which one’s your type? Let’s decode your favourite superhero and expose the messy truths about your love life.
1. Batman
You love brooding men who come with emotional baggage. You swear you can “fix him,” even though his therapist has been trying for years. He’s rich, complicated, and emotionally unavailable, which only makes you want him more. You tell yourself he’s worth the chase because somewhere under all that armour, there has to be a softer side.
You claim you want a normal, no-stress relationship, but we both know that would bore you to death. You know he’s a red flag, but that doesn’t stop you. There’s a thrill in believing you’ll be the one he finally opens up to. The truth? He’ll probably keep vanishing at 3 a.m. with no explanation. And you’ll still wait, because the mystery is part of the attraction.
2. Superman
You like the cliché good guy. Strong, dependable, the kind of man who never forgets your birthday and always spoils you with love. He’s kind, protective, and buff in a way that makes other men look like they skipped the gym for a year, and your mum definitely approves.
What makes him irresistible is that underneath the muscles and the manners, he’s a little bit of a nerd. Sweet, awkward, the type who’d rather read quietly than fight for attention in a crowded room, and yes, you love his brain as much as his biceps.
And then there’s the part that only comes out when the mask slips. Call it his red kryptonite side: reckless, bold, a little dangerous, but reserved just for you. The truth? It’s hard to find men with that balance. Which is why you’ve probably dated more bad boys than you’d like to admit, hoping they had a bit of Clark Kent hidden in them, chasing danger while secretly craving sweet.
3. Spiderman
You fall for the funny guy. The boy-next-door who makes you laugh so hard you forget why you were upset in the first place. He’s clumsy in a way that feels endearing, awkward in a way that makes him human, and you love that he never takes himself too seriously. He’s not the richest, not the flashiest, but he’ll always put you first.
The catch? He sometimes disappears “to protect you from his drama,” and you’ll forgive it every time because his humour, kindness, and loyalty feel worth the wait. Your love story is most likely a friends-to-lovers plot, the kind where you roll your eyes at his jokes until one day you realise you can’t imagine life without him.
4. Thor
You like your men tall, hot, and just a little clueless. The kind of guy who can open jars, lift furniture, and look good doing it. He’s handsome enough to stop traffic, but not always the sharpest in the room, which you secretly love because it makes you the smarter one in the relationship.
He’s fun, charming, and larger than life, the type who makes you laugh without even trying. The risk? You might lose your mind with the constant attention he gets from other girls, or roll your eyes when he struggles to focus on your serious problems. Still, when he flashes that smile and calls you his queen, it’s hard to remember why you were mad in the first place.
5. Iron Man
You fall for confidence that borders on arrogance. He’s loud, brilliant, and completely full of himself, but somehow it works on you. He talks too much, spends too much, and makes even his bad decisions look sexy. He’s ambitious, successful, and knows how to fill a room, and you can’t resist the thrill of being by his side.
The problem? He’s as unpredictable as he is irresistible. One moment, he’s buying you a designer bag for no reason, the next, he’s too wrapped up in himself to remember what you said five minutes ago. He’ll frustrate you, he’ll charm you, and he’ll make you wonder if loving a man like him is worth the chaos. But then he flashes that smirk, and you already know the answer.
6. Captain America
You fall for the dependable guy. Old-fashioned, polite, the one who pulls out your chair and tells you he adores you. He’s steady, reliable, and the kind of man who calls you every morning just to check in. Your mum would love him, and honestly, so do your friends.
But he’s also Captain America, a walking hero, the kind of man everyone looks up to. And that’s the problem. Spend enough time with him and you start to feel like you’re dating a motivational poster. Everything to him is a lesson, a pep talk, a call to be better. You’re crying over a bad day, and instead of just handing you ice cream, he’s giving you a speech about resilience. He’s probably a little older, maybe even a little too perfect, and after a while, you can’t decide if it’s comforting or exhausting.
7. Black Panther
You’re attracted to men with power, the kind who inspire you, not just stand beside you. He’s powerful, respected, and carries himself like someone who knows exactly who he is and exactly where he’s going. Everywhere you go, someone is telling you how much they admire your man, and you love the spotlight, because you got him.
The catch? A man like this never belongs only to you, because you’re constantly competing with his vision and responsibilities. And while it feels incredible to share the spotlight with a man like this, there will always be moments when you wonder if you’ll ever come first.
8. Wonderwoman
You don’t go for boys, you go for men. In fact, we’re pretty sure you’ve said that out loud before. You want an equal, strong, fearless, unapologetic. The kind of man who isn’t intimidated when you speak your mind and doesn’t flinch at your success.
Your type is secure, confident, and brave enough to handle a woman who knows exactly what she wants. The problem? Those men are rare. You get bored fast, because half the time you’re stuck entertaining guys who think a “good morning” text is effort. You’d rather wait it out than waste your time, which is why your dating life is either long dry spells or intense, all-consuming relationships. You don’t settle for sidekicks. You’re holding out for someone who’s hero material.
9. Loki
You love, love, love the bad boy! Don’t even try to deny it. Everything people complain about is exactly what draws you in. He’s passionate, magnetic, and makes you feel like you’re his best everything. You even like the fact that he stresses you out, because safe relationships bore you to death.
The truth is, you crave the drama as much as you hate it. He’s intoxicating and exhausting, the type to make you fall hard one minute and question your sanity the next. He’ll pull you into his games, test your patience, and make you question if you’re in love or just addicted to the chaos. Deep down, you know it should end, but you’d still choose him a million times over because part of you can’t let go of the hope that this time he’ll finally change.
10. Aquaman
You’re attracted to the fit, outdoorsy type. The man who lives at the gym, thrives in nature, and makes adventure look effortless. You might not even be outdoorsy yourself, but dating him feels like it will make you more adventurous, more daring, and cooler by association. It’s the bragging rights, too, the “oh yeah, my boyfriend went skydiving last weekend” energy.
He’s tattooed, long-haired (with hair more lustrous than yours), and wild in a way that makes him impossible to ignore. But that’s the thing about free spirits: he’s hard to pin down. One minute, he’s throwing you into adventures you’re half-thrilled, half-terrified by, the next, you’re worrying that your idea of fun might bore him.
11. Doctor Strange
You’re drawn to the mysterious intellectual. The man who always seems to know more than everyone else in the room, and makes sure you know it too. He’s sharp, sarcastic, stubborn, and a little arrogant, but you can’t resist the way his mind works. You love that you can’t quite figure him out, because it keeps you coming back.
But with brilliance comes baggage. He’s complicated, often distracted, and sometimes so wrapped up in himself that he forgets you’re even there. It’s frustrating, but also intoxicating, because when he does turn his full attention on you, it feels like the rest of the world disappears. And you’ll put up with the headaches, because you know a man like that is never boring.
12. Wolverine/ The Hulk
You like your men strong, buff, and brooding. Rough around the edges, scarred by life, the kind who grunts more than he speaks. He’s moody, blunt, and impossible to read, but once he lets you in, his loyalty is undeniable.
Dating him is a rollercoaster. He’s terrible at communication, hates petty arguments, and will vanish the second he feels overwhelmed. He can come off too serious, sometimes even make you feel like a child, but then he turns around and treats you like his baby, and you melt. He’s not the type to say “I love you” often, but you’ll see it in the way he protects you, the way he shows up. And that, for you, is enough to keep holding on.
13. The Flash
You fall for guys with golden retriever energy. Full of life, spontaneous, always buzzing with too much energy. With him, you never doubt that you’re loved. He’ll hype you up, shower you with attention, and remind you every day that you’re his whole world.
But sometimes his lack of authority leaves you frustrated, and it’s hard to find space when he’s always in your orbit. As much as you love being adored, the constant love-bombing gets exhausting. You want the guy, but you also want room to breathe.
So, what’s your type?
The broody billionaire, the bad boy, the golden retriever, or the king himself? At the end of the day, we all have a superhero crush, and sometimes it’s just fun to imagine what it would be like to date them.
