I love Izuku's mom!  She's my favorite character in the series so far.  Like you said, I really like that she looks like a normal mom and she cares so much about her child.  She seems like a sweetheart.  I noticed that bandaid on her finger when I was watching that episode and I just wanted to give her a hug.  I also noticed that the girl he likes is a lot like his mom.

Definitely true! Gravity girl has shades of best mom. Crazy cute too...I like her hero outfit.

You mean Netoge No Yome Wa Onnanoko Ja Nai To Omotta? ?

Isn't that always the case in anime where if the females are forward or hit on the guy he'll turn 'em down, get a nose bleed or run away. It's a stupid trope/trend in my opinion. If i think a woman is attractive and I like her personality, there's no way I'm gonna turn her down if I'm single. That's true of most guys. If there's several women chasing after the character there's nothing wrong with sampling.

It's like the writers of manga/anime are afraid of advancing the relationships of the characters and rather just leave it open (the MC and other characters as well never pick choose a lover) so it seems people might hook up but they never do. Of course, anime that focuses on SOL or romance might be different on that stuff.   

You'll find exceptions everywhere...but I think the idea in general is to appeal to the widest possible audience. Nice guys appeal to everyone, while realistic guys who "sample" might come across as unlikable in general. I remember in recent memory, the MC in Charlotte got a lot of hate in the first episode for using his power to get girls...even though a lot of us would have done the same. 

Personally, I think there are certain personalities that might make sense in real life, but aren't necessarily appealing in fiction. Speaking in general of course...different people have different tastes. 

That version of the nice guy or nice girl is inhuman. The MC and other characters will develope feelings/emotional attachment or pure physical attraction/desire towards another character at some point especially if they are attractive/likeable. Regardless of the character(s) being good natured or bad, they'll want  

Sooner or later, people will act out those impulses. It's human nature. Most stories in anime/manga take place around a school with teenagers.  That's why I think alot of anime is just missing something or it never quite scratches that itch as good as you might want it scratched. 

One piece and bleach. Plenty of single male and female characters but no one ever dates or have sex (or imply they have sex) even though they are really long anime/manga.

In Naruto, all of the younger characters remain single and they never hook up even though they actually have feelings for each other yet those feelings were part of the plot.

I just wish that anime in general starts to evolve. Make characters date eachother and use that in the plot. It doesn't need to be SOL or romance.
