I'd like to survey popular sentiment regarding physical descriptions of characters from the nuance of 1st person, 3rd person limited POV and 3rd person omniscient, specifically when it comes to physical feature descriptions, mostly in regards to male MC POV of female characters, FMC of male characters and especially when it comes to attraction.

Also on how the narrator should be handled to separate the writer from the narrator and make them truly neutral and prevent the writer from projecting their personal preferences and opinions of characters and their physical descriptions.

I'd be interested to hear all your biggest frustrations and complaints.

I have an interest in romantic and sexual themes within ordinary genres, specifically focusing on the POV of a male MC and I'd like to survey what styles and methods readers and writers find to be the most frustrating.

Applicable to any setting and genre, like a wanderer being invited to a ballroom dance and interacting with characters they'd find attractive.

Mostly focusing on 1st person and 3rd person limited but I'm interested in 3rd person omniscient and the nuances of the narrator describing physical features objectively without it turning into the writer's projections.

Also interested in frustrating descriptions of male characters from a female MC's POV if you have any.

Essentially I'm asking you for your:

-complaints

-frustrations

-pet peeves

No matter how specific or niche, I'd like to hear them all.
