friend of mine had a thing for jegan(sp?) from lupin and actually met her husband who cosplayed as him.
because its hard to find someone who is also interested in anime, she convinced me that i should try cosplaying so i could also meet someone special.
im white, 5'10", and i wear glasses, while im not fat, i dont have washboard abs either; so a character who dresses modestly.
she suggested sasuke (sp?) from naruto, but i would prefer a character that would appeal to women around my age (in their 20s).
i tried lelouch from code gease at a convention, but there were a dozen others.
i am a beginner cosplayer and looking for something not extremely hard.

thanks in advance.

... for the 20's gen... its almost the same on any gen. though it then depends on the individual.

On the convention, the char that would make the girls go "kyaah" its usally the right choice.

Lately i've seen alot of oogling towards Ciel Phantomhive and Sebastian Michaelis from Kuroshitsuji.
Sebastian is the easiest to do. And since you are fairly tall, will fit quite good.

But research on local forums what your female otaku comunity prefers. Good luck on it

Watch yourself so you dont meet the Loli Ban Hammer
