The allure of a unique partner that didn't choose you because of some feeble human standards (that are unattainable for the most of us) and wants to be with you due to a deeper connection, that won't take advantage of your vulnerability or drop you ass for the next best thing. Also there's this special understanding of two very different people, renouncing to previous concepts of what one has to be and instead accepting each other as they come, with all their little quirks.... vs a human who is pretty much a wild slot machine, you may get a good partner or an asshole that put on a good front long enough for you to drop your guard~

Sorry if wanting a loving partner that is actually happy and finds confort in sharing a life with my silly self is asking too much out of life 🙃

ok, i'm just going to say it. there's a reason that some of us like reading monster/alien romance just as much as maybe even more than regular romance.

and no, it's not about the supernatural dicks (at least not for me).

in short, it's about respect. obviously, the monster/alien comes from a place somewhere other than human society on planet Earth. because of that, he is completely ignorant of the sexist bias inherent in our society. (and by inherent i mean literally trained into us since birth and embedded in every aspect of our society)

sometimes the monster's views are more misogynistic — but in those stories the heroine manages to change his views by earning his respect as they navigate their inter-special differences (aka, he learns and fixes himself).

usually, the monsters believe strongly in equality between the sexes, and they are often shocked and horrified if/when they learn of how human men treat their partners. [and yes, i know some of them are over-the-top protective to the point of being controlling, but even then it's because they view the heroines as someone to continuously be protected, cherished, and respected.]

TLDR: it's an escape into a romantic fantasy where the love interest is GUARANTEED to be a good partner because he literally could never think to harm, insult, or disrespect the heroine
