[QUOTE="jdavis, post: 968275, member: 8704"] Seems the word "somewhat" is being glossed over here. Han Solo was "somewhat" ineffectual at the first of Jedi. Leia still tried to rescue him. I think we can state that being a big powerful hero is not the only thing that makes a man attractive (just ask Bill Gates). Likewise the captured guy could be a huge powerful man who got himself captured because he was innefectual at fighting off armies with his fist. It all goes by how you present it, and you will never get any type of all encompassing answer because everybody is attracted to different things and many people's ideas of what is attractive may change over time. One thing about these stories was that it was always a beautiful female that was rescued, would the action heroine fall in love with the innefectual prince if he also happened to look like Fabio instead of the Emo Phillips look that seems to be immplied here? Ineffectual doesn't have to mean weak willed goofball who cowers in the corner yelling "not in the face", it could just be a person who got in over their heads and was powerless to stop what was going on.
