Yes, this seems reasonable. I guess I’m curious about which of these traits is more robustly attractive. That is: assuming the ideal male protagonist is both an alpha male, and honorable and kind, would their attractiveness drop more if you removed just the “honorable and kind” bit, or just the “alpha male” bit? I suspect the latter, but that’s just speculation. We might be able to get more quantitative data by seeing how many male protagonists fall into each category.
