Would you be attracted or sexually interested in a tsundere type of person?

The tsundere type seems to be really loved by a big part of the male MAL community. My male friends have told me time and time again that they like the 'bitchy' kinda girl who plays hard to get. Would you ever be interested in that type of person in real life? If yes, why? Is it the 'hunt'? Do you like being treated well.. quite badly? What is attractive about it? Have you ever dated anybody who'd fit the tsundere criteria?

Please discuss away. I'm immensely curious because I've always felt quite negatively about the tsundere type myself and would like to see what's attractive about it.
And my fellow girls can obviously also answer this.

Yes. I'm a very tolerant guy when it comes to people I like; a tsundere girl would be no different. (although good luck getting me to like a "bitchy" girl instead of just an average tsundere-esq girl.)

When a tsundere girl finally opens up to you, it feels like it's really deserved, you're her special guy, like you've won a competition or something.

That's more yandere than tsundere.

why would you like her in the first place? don't you think that's something off-putting? what type of girl are you usually interested in?

yes but there are many buts

if shes just mean and rude and has no interest in me i dont see how am i ever going to reach the dere part. I sort of give up when people give up on me because thats how i am.. but ive had lasting friendships with people only cus they were there and were persistent and came along for the journey, their behavior wasnt always good but it didnt matter cus when theres desire from one side theres desire from my side as well i guess

also when you finally unlock the dere part its all worth it big time anyway~

I dislike tsundere's they get annoying really fast. Either you're a approachable person or I'll lose my interest really fast.

Depends on the girl; there are several potential reasons I could like her. She may have shown interest in me at whatever point, she may have similar tastes or general personality, I may admire her for any specific reason, she may be sexy as fuck, etc etc.

It may be off-putting, but being a tsundere doesn't mean you're the world's most hostile being ever or a total bitch. There are more mild and subtle ways of showing dislike for someone, and they may not even show dislike at other times, which fits the expectations of a more realistic tsundere.

I'm not masochist (despite how many times I jokingly say I am), I don't like people being cold or aggressive to me, but that doesn't mean my dislike of it is that significant of an emotion, depending on the kind or quantity of dislike I'm receiving.

When I think "tsundere", I'm more focused on the potential love aspect you would receive. It's like a hard earned prize, and the stuff you work for is the most satisfying. The "tsun" makes the "dere" more satisfying, so it's very easy to look past the "tsun".

What type of girl am I usually interested in? Anyone who will express their like for me in a significant way, without taking the "like" part lightly. That's why I like tsunderes, because they aren't* playing whore with their "like" emotion, so the "like" is more meaningful when she finally opens up to you.

And I want to be that special person.

Pretty much this, I want to feel deserving of someone's love, like I earned it and broke down said person's walls.

I don't treat it like some kind of "prize". I mean, I've had a crush on a girl who once who told me that she "loved" me, only to find out later that she used that word so carelessly without truly knowing the full extent the power that one single word can hold.

I'd rather a person who doesn't show her affectionate side as often as other women, because once you finally see that side to her, you know that its truly meaningful.

Also, I'm very tolerable of people's personalities, there's nothing a woman could say to me that my best friends already haven't.

I don't know man, its just my opinion.

A girl in high school was a tsun. It was really fun to tease her. I started argument just because it was so funny to see her temper. Her face turned devilish red, you could sense the fire in the air.

Sure tsuns can be attractive, I like a lot of different types of girls, and tsuns is one of them. As long as they are kind, empathatic and wise they are likeable.

- If you mean the classic tsundere who is shy and will act uninterested towards the person they love and who might say one or two harsh things (within reasonable boundaries) to hide his/her embarrassment...

Answer: Maybe.

- If you mean the neo tsundere who acts like a total retard, is a violent and sadistic freak, who treats the person they love like a dog...

Answer: Try it yourself and see just how (un)successful you'll be.

I don`t even like the typical anime-ish tsundere in anime so I don`t see myself liking that kind of girl in real life. I wouldn`t even put the effort to get past the first layer of “tsun” just to get to “dere.”

i see ok. i can get that much. i'm just very interested in the whole idea of it because it has never been something i would ever think of as attractive. i think feisty and playful is nice. but like i said before my male friends have told me before they dig the 'bitchy' type. but seeing the way you put it does make sense in a way

There's a difference between a tsundere and a bitch. A bitch is someone I would personally lay flat out on the pavement.

I have no interest in them; they're for masochists, desperate people, and idiots.

Agreed. There's a big difference between a flat out bitch and a tsundere. I would make the effort if I think the girl is worth it. It truly depends on how interested you are on the girl though.

My class m8 in highschool. We never dated but she totally was tsun. We were both class representatives. Both good at school and always competing with eachother, always arguing about something (ALWAYS). We studied together too and spent a lot of time together or even on the phone in general. We were really cute.
Neither of us confessed when it was the time and after a while she started looking at other guys older than me.
When I realized I was just being friendzoned I dropped every little bit of relations we had because I was stupid and angry. She cried and I was happy and after a while I wasnt interested anymore.
We took separate ways and lost eachother for good.

Not even in the least. Bitchy women are just not attractive to me and if I have to jump through hoops and hurdles to get their affection, then they can shove up their own ass.

If there is one thing men all around the world can agree on is that nagging/complaining/bitching is not attractive in the least.

To be honest, Tsundere only works if they are attractive or at the very least cute. And even then, it puts off a lot of people.

A tsundere can also change their attitude towards you as you two know more each other and your relationship deepens. As long as they're not so violent that they can cause trauma lol
