I'm no longer a fan of Hamilton's (hence being on this forum), but there are those of us well past the teen years who still like the "pretty boys", including myself. Witness the popularity of bishounen in anime and manga fandom.
What really amazes me is that Hamilton manages to make my "type" so unnatractive, due to her bad writing and characterisation. (OK, so I like them taller than she writes them, but still.)
Yes, me too and I'm 33. I love anime bishonen and I get a little annoyed at all the complaints that her series is filled with them and therefore bad. It's her writing that makes them bad (and lack of variety), not the long hair and pretty faces.
