If people bother to check out my profile, it will say that my favorite member is Seohyun. However, I've never really pictured her as someone I'd like to date. Not because of anything about her, but because she's literally my idol. Someone I wish I could be like: hardworking, focused and regardless of celebrity is very down-to-earth.

So what about Taeyeon? Well, I tend to agree with a lot of what the article says. Yes, she's pretty. Yes, she's cute. Yes, she's attractive. However, most guys (whether they realize it or not) don't tend to use just physical criteria when choosing someone to get into a long term relationship with. I'm probably gonna get in trouble for this, but girls, here's a "major secret": if a guy really likes you, it usually isn't because you're drop dead gorgeous. It's because it looks like you're easy to talk to. Physical attractiveness doesn't hurt and it is one of the reasons we go after you, but your personality is what makes us want to stay with you (yes, it's not true of every guy, but those guys are shallow and usually aren't boyfriend material in the first place). This is what makes Taeyeon so attractive to a majority of males. She actually seems approachable as opposed to some unreachable shining star.

I think most guys that are fans of Taeyeon will agree that the statement, "I can't quite figure it out, but there's something about that girl." is probably one of the most accurate statements when it comes to her. It's hard to describe. She just seems so...comfortable and natural. Like she's not hiding anything and that that really is her we're seeing regardless of whether or not she's following a script.

So what about her aegyo? The article says her aegyo is one of her main attractive features. A lot of people here who know the girls believe that Taeyeon is actually the weakest (in fact, she hates it) in that category and that Sunny is the one with the best aegyo capability. I'd like to submit a different line of reasoning. Sunny is very good at aegyo but with her it's like flipping a switch. Don't get me wrong, Sunny is cute but I've always felt that she's cute when she acts cute. To me, Sunny is more pretty than cute. But with Taeyeon, I feel that her aegyo comes naturally. She doesn't like it because she doesn't realize that she actually is aegyo personified. She can't act cute because it overrides her natural cuteness and therefore fails at any aegyo she attempts to manufacture. In other words, you can't create something that's already there.

So why did I bother to mention Seohyun earlier? Well, here's why. Seohyun is someone I wish I was like. Taeyeon is someone I wish I could be with.

Feel free to drop these two cents anywhere you'd like. ^^
