Rules for Being the Sassy Male Main Character

Updated: Nov 16, 2023

Greetings, everyone! Cari here. As Erin mentioned, our writers' community has been having a heyday with coming up with the rules for stereotypes in writing. So, without further ado, I present my contribution: the sassy male main character.

  1. You must be SASSY!!! It’s in the name, for crying aloud!

  2. You must be ridiculously handsome.

  3. You must have a train of fangirls wanting to marry you even though you already have a Love Interest.

  4. You must suffer through immense amounts of trauma and be broken on the inside.

  5. You must be a total idiot.

Does this ring a bell? I can list at least four fictional guys who fit this stereotype.







(not exactly a Keefe sass moment, but it's true)


And that's it! Stay tuned for several more posts dealing with all those tropes we see.

Meanwhile, a question for the comments: who are your favorite Sassy Male Main Characters?

I love him so much. He's my baby (even though we are the same age).
