By now, I feel weird going for those that feel barely out if their teens. I like Leah and Elliot. I love creative types and those who work hard to pursue their passions, even in the face of adversity. I also like that they still pursue their passions when they live with me. Others have felt kind of empty after moving to my farm. One time I chose Krobus over marriage, no regrets there either.

Penny is usually my choice though I consider Abigail and leah too.

She comes from an impoverished broken home with that thing as a mom, but still tries to be a better version of herself and enrich the lives of local kids. She's bookish and likes the library. Also isnt picky about common gifts.

Quiet, shy, kind, humble and intelligent. Green flags all around. As a bonus she has some actual assets in the picture even if they're only little b or c-cups. half the girl portraits I can't tell what they got going on body wise.

I spend all my time down in the mines/dungeon. Ain't got time for love.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No one. Ace/aro in all things.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

This is why I'm so glad that reaching Perfection doesn't require you to be married. Ace but not aro myself, just happy to see aro people not excluded.

Mary, she's just generally the most happy to live her life still and yet ecstatic to be living with you as well. It seems like the most wholesome relationship imo.

*Maru, phone auto corrected and I didn't notice

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Is Mary from a mod or newly added?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

My phone autocorrected Maru to Mary lol.

On my first playthrough. I'm in year 6 and just about ready to start doing Qi quests once I finish off perfection. Haven't romanced anyone yet. Thinking about either Leah, Penny, or Abigail.

Interestingly, the first accessory I picked up was a "Perfect Ice Rod," so combat has been easy since that. I have a big stone chest that is about ¾ full of all the accessories, but only one Level 3 Parrot Egg.

Krobus. But we're just roommates ;)

Alex.

I’m a trans woman with a problematic attraction to any man who would’ve bullied me in high school.

Before you ask—yes, I am aware this is the only reason anybody ever marries Alex.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Nah, I'm pretty sure some people romance him as a man to see a dude come out of the closet and his grandpa change his mind on homophobia.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Yooo is that actually a storyline in the game? Cutee

[–] [email protected] 2 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

If you check the wiki or just trust the random stranger on the internet you'll find it is indeed a storyline in game!

Alex's page, forget where it is tbh

George's page, check Quotes

I think https://tvtropes.org/ will also back me up on this.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 18 hours ago

That's so wholesome 🥺 thanks!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

No idea but I somehow feel like it would be on brand for SDV. The Shane progression surprized me.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

Sebastian, every time. I have attempted others, but I always come back. I guess emo twink that plays D&D is just my type.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

In my first playthrough I choose Leah and I still think that was a solid choice. Bit I never setteled on one partner.

Currently I try or rather plan to romance Penny.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

Harvey. I picked up the game during the covid lockdown and I guess "wash your hands" is my love language, lol.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

Polygamy mod with abi and Leah. Can't split them up.

If going the mod route probably Sophia too

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

Haley and mommy <3

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago

I usually romance Leah because I like her vibe, and I appreciate how easy it is to just give her foraged items

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

Penny. I appreciate that she is a good person from the get-go, even if her attempts to be nice can sometimes put others out (we’ve all made mistakes with the best intentions). I feel like her romance plot improves her life the most if any of the villagers, though I do wish she had more to do after marriage. She wants to get out of Pam’s trailer, only to hang around the farmhouse all day instead?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago

I think I've romanced Maru and Abigail the most often

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago

Penny. She seems sad about her situation with her mom, and then becomes happy after moving to the farm.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

Leah or Penny. Both have personalities that match my current partner.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

I try to go with a different person each time, but I like Abigail the most

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

Abigail or Krobus

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I’ve put quite some hours into the game but haven’t pursued anyone romantically yet. Do they help on the farm if you partner up?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

Spouses do end up doing chores sometimes, but if I recall correctly (maybe this was updated away) sometimes they end up "watering the crops" when you have sprinklers do it all or something like that… it is unintentional but usually by the time the farmer is ready to propose marriage they are also far enough in the game the chores they do around the farm will not always be helpful.

Shane - I really like him, even his messy room. He resonates with me overcoming his issues, and I like what he says. He's very sweet and kind!

Plus he moves his chicken to your farm and sometimes he hugs it - I'm a sucker to NPCs that love animals.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Also you can fix him

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago

I'm an Emily kind of guy. Abby's a close second.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Leah for the difficulty, Abigail is my usual

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Leah is so easy! Driftwood every day. I get that shit for free.

look at Mx. Moneybags over here affording salads in year one

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

2 salads a week isn't hard I'll use wood next time thanks for the tip

I'm still working my way through experiencing all the romances I'd like to. But for some reason I often marry Haley. I am not romantically interested in women. ??? I know I'll pursue them in games anyways to see the story bits, to learn more about them, but I have already seen the story and learned more so not sure why I do this. Pretty sure it is not a case of secret closet for various reasons that are probably off-topic to Stardew Valley.
