Recently while reading Skip Beat!, it occurred to me that I'm somewhat a serial 'routing for the loser' (haha). What I mean is in the stereotypical love triangle of two guys and one girl, I'm finding myself constantly routing for the guy who doesn't end up with the girl. You know, the one that from the start you sort of suspect won't end up with the girl in the end, the character set up as the 'bad choice'.
For example, in Skip Beat!,

I found myself subconsciously routing for the 'bad guy' (Sho Fuwa), over the 'good guy' (Ren Tsuruga), even though it's clear to me that Kyoko will most likely end up with Ren in the end
(for those who haven't read the manga, I really recommend it btw!)Another example of my preference is Zero Kiryuu in Vampire Knight.

While in the beginning, it's clear that I should prefer Kaname Kuran as Yuuki's love interest, I was always routing for Zero throughout the series (it's gotten a little odd now with the incest relationship though, hasn't it? haah :p )
Anyway, I was wondering if I was alone, or if anyone else usually picks the 'bad guy'? Opinions?
