YEP! Me, too. Brawn and macho. Leather and steel. I see a woman in my future though. She probably won't be girly.Alpha males with long hair and bulging biceps, preferably in a profession that requires armour and weaponry.

No, but I noticed that my MMCs all look the same: black hair and blue eyes.
After I realized it I changed it up, but gosh, it's hard not to instinctively want to use it.
Uh, I think you're the only one.Yes, I'm constantly surprised. In fact, I was in a tough situation the other day and thought, "What would Devin do?" And I used his personality to help guide me through the situation. It's weird, and I'm kind of hoping I'm not the only writer who does that...
I don't do that, but I really envy some of my characters. They are so much cooler than me and dress better than I.... And have better love lives!Yes, I'm constantly surprised.

this describes mine perfectly, except they are usually in their 20s-30s. Also they usually end up dumping the loser boyfriend they're with in the beginning of the novel.Snarky, 30-something, single, female, free spirits or societal rebels

I don't think I do. Although, I have noticed most of my MCs are older than me and that I write a lot of age gap relationships. My previous MC was a huge, rough, Scottish (or the fantasy world equivalent of it), genial, warrior, and my current ones are a young, geeky, socially awkward trainee dom, and a guile heroine pirate in her fifties.
The only other thing they tend to have in common is being on the QUILTBAG spectrum.
Age Gap Relationships! I'm in one of those, and lots of authors use age gap relationships as a bad or gross thing. Many times, age gaps are portrayed negatively. I'm into AGR stories.
