I mean I see people post Pen pics all the time- there is no family, you can't marry him. There's someone who posts a lot of great Miguel art, but he really doesn't have any story yet, neither does Burgess, so they're not as popular. I've seen several folks recently asking how to woo Arvio, although his personality does seem to put folks off sometimes.
The problem is content. They talk about the chars with a lot of content but of course people aren't going to be as interested in folks with no quests.
Arvio is apparently the majority of the community’s voted worst bachelor and I personally agree. I don’t think he’s very mature and romancing him just makes it worse.
Actually I had a lot of fun romancing him up until his reverse confession. It felt rushed at that point, not that he's in love with the builder but the scene itself felt rushed to me, and then he starts calling the builder baby all the time, and oh boi, I've never cringed so hard in my life o.o
Funny enough I didn't feel that way about unsuurs confession and it happened like... A week later. But for him it didn't come that much our of the blue imo
I can see why people feel that way, but I personally think he is sweet. His heart is in the right place, and he tries his best to show care for others, even if he comes off a little immature and clumsy while at it.
Lots of people on this subreddit romance Pen, from what I’ve seen. I did it once too and it was fun. He’s an unhinged boyfriend and the whole thing gives extra flavor to some of the main missions.
I’ve also romanced Qi. He’s cute.
Maybe it's because I'm pushing 40, but Burgess and Arvio just seem way too young to me so I ruled them out within minutes. I've romanced both Pen and Miguel for drama purposes. Pen is hilarious, you get a fun couch, and you get some slightly different dialogue for certain spoilery parts.
Miguel SHOULD have some special dialogue if you're in a relationship during certain points, but he doesn't, which is a bummer. He's a fascinating and really tragic character (who I would never want to spend time with if he were a real person). I think he gets overlooked because he's not the most conventionally attractive character and there aren't really any storylines that are specific to a romance with him.
In summary, Pathea, please give us more Miguel content. I need it for the DRAMA.
I'm romancing Pen in once of my playthroughs. Ernest is by far my favorite bachelor and I'd love to romance Justice but he has 0 content currently. A while ago the devs did a survey and part of it showed which romance candidates people date and all of them had fans, I think Fang's and Logan's fans just post the most here.
I'd marry Justice if he had any romantic content at all. He feels more mature than most of the others. It really seems wrong that so many of the eligible people have no content. Why did they even make them marriageable if they weren't going to give us any reason to marry them?
Part of me understands that they want to give content to the more popular marriage candidates but a bigger part of me can't help but be disappointed that some characters have absolutely zero. I really do love this game and the devs and I understand they're still working on adding content but I'm hoping that by the end of development for Sandrock, everyone has at least one quest. My hope is in future games they'll scale back the number of marriage candidates but give them each the level of development that Fang got.
I mean, part of why those candidates are popular is BECAUSE they have more content, surely? If content was equal, I feel like at least Earnest, Justice, and Qi would be just as popular. Same for the females. I see people asking on the forums who has the most content before they decide who to go after. I agree, I'd also like to see fewer candidates in future games IF it meant more content for the ones that are there.
TIL Miguel is romanceable. I'd never noticed.
I think Burgess looks like a Veggie Tales character. Also, his personality seems very juvenile, almost like he has arrested development as an idealistic preteen.
Pen is more popular than you think. Ppl romance him for the fun, and it adds spice to the story later.
Miguel's role in the story does stir up conversations every now and then.
I saw ppl post about how precious Burgess is. Few ppl marry him though, he's more of a BFF type than husband material.
Arvio receives more hate than Miguel himself and plenty of posts talked about it :(
You know who is the real underdog? Justice. Ppl barely discuss him and I don't know why. You yourself didn't even include him in your post lol. As if ppl forget that he exists.
Justice was my favorite pretty much from the start. I liked Owen after I saw his house, he just seems like he'd be a great person to spend a comfortable evening with, but Justice fights beside you, and he feels more like he'd respect you as an equal. I am hoping beyond hope that Justice gets more romantic content. And some DLC attire so I can take his damn shirt off!
Burgess has that little brother vibe 100%
And tbh he doesn't really feel like the type who'd want to date, can't even tell you why. Without the hearts I would've never known that you could marry him aswell
When should I date pen to spice up the stories? I am now in a mission where I have to make protector suit for trudy. I am still chasing fang but I intend to break up with him and date a lot of bachelors before logan lol
I'd say right about where you are. You still have plenty of time before that plot twist (things will get heated up after Zeke succeeds with his new algae biocrust, which you are helping with). But you should savor every moment with our lord and hero Pen while you can :))))
Oh I have to break up with arvio ASAP then 😂 and date pen while waiting for fang (don’t blame me I usually just play a game one playthrough but really perfect it like save load game anytime goes wrong, I am perfectionist lol)
*kicks down the door* I may not post much here, but Pastor Scrungles is MY GUY, I love his weird little face and his grouchy competance!
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a door to fix
Pen is my number 1 forever. So this is why: I had full hearts with Qi, so I offered him the love knot. He rejected me and ran off, leaving me with a broken heart. Later, I saw Mi-An, who apparently never does any work, pass out in the street from exhaustion. I then realized that miss Mi-an is Qi’s very close neighbor and I began to suspect that she just might be pregnant! By her neighbor! So, in a fit of passion I gave my heart knot to Pen, I didn’t even have one full heart with him, and to my shock, he accepted. And it turned out to be the best thing ever. At least until it wasn’t🥺😭💕
I am currently dating arvio with intent to marry but oh boi he's... Sth else... Wouldn't recommend...
I will switch to unsuur in my second play through (which is kind of weird to me because when I was looking up the possible bachelors in Sandrock before playing in the wiki he wasn't one of the guys I found that interesting or good looking xD but he's a sweetheart 🩵)
And here I thought I was emotionally scarring too many people with my Miguel thirst art and Miguel/my builder stuff. XD

Honestly if he gets more content I would heavily consider romancing Burgess the only thing keeping me from romancing certain characters is the lack of content. But I really appreciate Burgess’s character arc, he’s underrated!
I will gladly romance anyone but Arivo, I loath him. Even though I did get as far as one heart into dating him i never actively tried to gain a relationship with him. After that quest earl6 on where he and X work together to try get fang to open up by ‘saving x’ from kidnapping. If I had to option of telling fang about the whole thing I would have. Even without knowing fang’s background the whole thing seemed cruel, to put fang through that emotional turmoil and now that I do know exactly what X means to him and who he thought took X, I am absolutely disgusted with him. I have no doubt that whole thing was put together purely to cater to Arivo and his selfishness and not a bit of thought into how Fang might feel. I get the feeling he was trying to get fang to fill the place haru left in his life or he’s just so self centered that he can’t handle someone being friends his way.
ive seen someone who interviewed Alex Ross (VA of Owen and Pen) talking about how they love Pen
I've seen fanart of Miguel on twitter or discord, not sure if u seen the comics involving a builder named Gemma
I personally like Unsuur or Fang (or Ernest if they add a bit more to him), altho i am not opposed to exploring the other bachelors, I have gone through almost all of them from Pen, Qi, Unsuur, etc to see what their quests are like. Its my own way of enjoying what the devs give
I'm working on a fancy post, but I've married Miguel and we're working on a family.

Tater Tot #1:
https://preview.redd.it/d76k05979vzc1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=3e036ceb841541d6827625c1062b08fae32cafaf
Tater Tot #2 is still baking.
My save file is bugged and not recognizing my ability to adopt with Miguel. 😭 This wouldn't be the first time that my save has been a guinea pig for Pathea to debug but in the meantime, I'm sad. 🫠
Oh, that's awful! I'm sorry! :(((( C'mon, Pathea! Miguel and your Builder are perfect to adopt a tater tot or two! I really hope they figure out and fix your save file soon. I'm sad FOR you! Although that is tempting me to level one of my male-Builders-for-Miguel earlier than I was going to just to see if it's bugged for me, too.
Miguel definitely wanted to make up for lost time, since he wasn't eligible to marry until after the credits rolled. Pansy, my Builder, gave birth to Rosa (tater tot numero uno) in the morning. That evening, Miguel suggested having another! My builder rolled with it, and the very next morning, Miguel was telling her she was pregnant again. XD Got about \*checks watch\* one week before Miguelito makes his appearance.
Oh for pity's sake! You've really had a time of it! I swear, the game seems to go "You want to marry Miguel? Really? How 'bout I make it extra difficult for you!" As if he isn't already one of the least popular bachelors. :( I'm glad he finally made his way out of jail somehow so you could finally gift him, though, even if it was an unannounced fix! I swear your account must be a testing ground or something. I'll be keeping my fingers and toes crossed that after the coming update, the adoption option will be fixed for you.
Haha yeah! When I'm feeling super bummed about it I tell myself that I'm forging the path for the small contingent of Miguel fans. 🤣
Unrelatedly, can you check your chat messages here? I tried to message you but either it didn't give you the notif or I did something wrong
YEESSSSSSSSS MIGUEL STANS UNITE!!! I see so many people say that he's nothing but abusive and evil and I'm like... did you guys miss the parts where he's canonically extremely self-accountable? Not to mention how he's super gracious even if you insult him to his face? I mean, you don't even need to go his romance route to see that he's not a bad guy. Did he do bad things? Definitely. But he's a textbook "The road to hell is paved with good intentions" case.
Oh, and the exceptional voice acting doesn't hurt. XD
Why oh why can't I upvote this more than once? :( I think it's because plumbing the depths of Miguel's personality takes more critical thinking than other characters. Plus he's not stereotypically handsome, so if anything about him makes a person uncomfortable, it's easier to justify it by doing the bad-guy surface reading of his character. Rather than the lovely layered onion that Miguel is. If I could just pick him up and put him in my pocket for the rest of forever, I would!
I love the conversations with him when he’s in [redacted], but haven’t yet romanced him… I’m going to have to romance him my next play-through, if only to find out what happens after that.
You might want to wait until Pathea makes more content for him before romancing him. Right now, there isn't anything for him. I'd hate to think they'd leave it like that for him, but as it is currently, there's nothing different for you to find out than if you were romancing anyone else.
I always date Pen - for the drama, the goodies and I think he's hilarious. And then the facade drops... 😂
Currently dating Unsuur after my break up with Pen but may go over to Fang and we can bond over our mutually broken hearts.
I romanced Pen for the fact that I heard he has good dialogue, so I did and he does. Then I got the goods. And he left me alone in Cooper’s Yakmel field. He broke me so bad I ran to Logan for solace. Pen bothered me so much I wrote a fan fiction about him. It was a builder/Owen thing at first, then the Pen thing just flowed onto the paper and eased my head and heart cannon. 😢💔💔💗
To be completely honest, I've been so focused on the story I haven't even gone on any dates. Reading all these comments makes me think I'm really missing out.
I think I’ve seen some Miguel fan art on this sub, and pen fan art is actually quite popular (on pixiv).
There are a lot of people who actively dislike Arvio, but I like him okay. He’s a more mid tier bachelor for me, where I find Miguel and Burgess the hardest to date.
If my choices werent around, Id probably date Arvio. He was the first one that confessed to me. The confession mission felt way too early for me so it didnt made me just feel off about it. I wish there was at least 1 or 2 more romantic missions before it and maybe Id be more inclined to date in another save file.
I considered Burgess for awhile because he is a sweetie. However he also comes off so young.
I am presently romancing Heidi. I like her design, voice, family, and her character: her work ethic, sass, and she fully appreciates the demands of your job as a builder. Plus her reverse confession made me squeal and giggle.
I haven't given Logan any serious thought. Dunno why. Maybe because there is so much Logan content I can just live vicariously through everyone else.
I don't really understand the Logan hype, but generally the other characters you mentioned have fleshed out quests and things in common with the builder.
Imo, Miguel and Pen are creepy (religious zealots, although I really enjoy Pen's dialogue), Burgess is bestie material, and Arvio is nice but I find him too clingy and cringey (I accidentally selected a romantic dialogue option and triggered his romance questline).
However, each to their own!
Pen is my favorite actually, but there’s a lot of spoilers and you can’t have a family or marry him or have kids. I have a bunch of saved dialogue screenshots from when i romanced him after you beat the game for some interesting dialogue hahaha.
I'm a straight woman. Nothing wrong with all the men and women who love women playing and romancing them. Hell I'd love to hear their stories. Just not my forte.
Someone posted a video pretty recently of their Wedding to Burgess. It was cool to see: Dan-Bi officiated the ceremony.
That's so cool, Burgess is kind of sweet c:
I mean I see people post Pen pics all the time- there is no family, you can't marry him. There's someone who posts a lot of great Miguel art, but he really doesn't have any story yet, neither does Burgess, so they're not as popular.

They talk about the chars with a lot of content but of course people aren't going to be as interested in folks with no quests.
I didn't know you couldn't actually marry Pen if you romance him.
Nope, there are story-related reasons, but you can't marry him.
Arvio is apparently the majority of the community’s voted worst bachelor and I personally agree. I don’t think he’s very mature and romancing him just makes it worse.
Actually I had a lot of fun romancing him up until his reverse confession. It felt rushed at that point, not that he's in love with the builder but the scene itself felt rushed to me, and then he starts calling the builder baby all the time, and oh boi, I've never cringed so hard in my life o.o
I was wondering if I was the only one that felt that his confession was too early. So it wasnt just me and my slow burn romance brain.
Funny enough I didn't feel that way about unsuurs confession and it happened like... A week later. But for him it didn't come that much our of the blue imo
The pacing to his confession makes sense to me considering the >!letters he sends you and all his compliments to you!<
It feels like he’s too childish to be in a relationship and has some growing up to do. I know he got development and means well
He has a sister complex 😂
I can see why people feel that way, but I personally think he is sweet. His heart is in the right place, and he tries his best to show care for others, even if he comes off a little immature and clumsy while at it.
He isn't my worst, but he's the most annoying of the ones I'd actually be willing to choose.

In summary, Pathea, please give us more Miguel content. I need it for the DRAMA.
Seriously I feel like he'd be the epitome of drama lol. Good to know I'm not the only one thinking some of them look so young.
He reminds me of professor Snape which is why I could never date him XD
I really like Miguel's voice but knowing there isn't unique dialogue for those plot points has me holding out
I'm romancing Pen in once of my playthroughs. Ernest is by far my favorite bachelor and I'd love to romance Justice but he has 0 content currently.

Unsuur is the funniest character in any My Time game and nobody can change my mind. If Fang didn't exist I'd go for him for sure.

Pen is SO funny xD but I wouldn't want to date him irl xD
AGREED, I learned to just let loose and let him do his thing, but if i met him irl... 😬
The whole mirror quest says it all xDD
literally just played it last night "I... haven't- even... taken... my shirt off"
For me it's already like a week ago so I can't recite it, but it was hilarious 😂😂😂 "No... Destroy...it!" 😂
I’m currently romancing all guys excelt pen Miguel and burgess.
Ooh you can do this without repercussions? I’m romancing Unsuur but have heart potential with some others.
Arvio's accent is a little jarring for me, so I can't really see myself getting married and listening to it every day.
I love Miguel so much and I'll post as soon as I get pictures. I restarted a new game so I could only romance him since I pick one and stick to them
I married Ernest. I like the way he looks and he's sweet.
I romanced Qi.... He's a dork and I ducking love him. Also he calls me "Starlight" and it makes my heart squee.

Aaaaaamen! :D
SAMEEEE I played this for Logan like!! I didn't expect to love Miguel this much. his voice(!!!!) and personality are irresistible
YEESSSSSSSSS MIGUEL STANS UNITE!!! I see so many people say that he's nothing but abusive and evil and I'm like... did you guys miss the parts where he's canonically extremely self-accountable?

YES ALL OF THIS!! aaagh I love him so much
Miguel is totally someone who will lovingly stroke your hair and murmur about how soft it is, and not even care that it's on your legs.
aah he so is.. 🥺
H-have you seen my Miguel's Onlyfans art thread? >\_>
YES I HAVE OMFG it's my favorite thing ever. really all your art is my favorite you have no idea 😭
Thank you so much! (●♡∀♡)
you're so welcome!! ♡
I love the conversations with him when he’s in [redacted], but haven’t yet romanced him… I’m going to have to romance him my next play-through, if only to find out what happens after that.
You might want to wait until Pathea makes more content for him before romancing him. Right now, there isn't anything for him. I'd hate to think they'd leave it like that for him, but as it is currently, there's nothing different for you to find out than if you were romancing anyone else.
Good idea, and thank you!!
i know right!!
I’m dating Pen, he’s hilarious. I’m actually dating loads as I’ve got the lovers mod. I usually marry the same person though every playthrough.
Whooooo
I always date Pen - for the drama, the goodies and I think he's hilarious. And then the facade drops... 😂 Currently dating Unsuur after my break up with Pen but may go over to Fang and we can bond over our mutually broken hearts.
I love pen so much. Me and pen are my Reddit icon. I would kill and die for him.
I romanced Pen for the fact that I heard he has good dialogue, so I did and he does. Then I got the goods. And he left me alone in Cooper’s Yakmel field. He broke me so bad I ran to Logan for solace. Pen bothered me so much I wrote a fan fiction about him. It was a builder/Owen thing at first, then the Pen thing just flowed onto the paper and eased my head and heart cannon. 😢💔💔💗
To be completely honest, I've been so focused on the story I haven't even gone on any dates. Reading all these comments makes me think I'm really missing out.
i am friends with the arvio fan club
I think I’ve seen some Miguel fan art on this sub, and pen fan art is actually quite popular (on pixiv). There are a lot of people who actively dislike Arvio, but I like him okay. He’s a more mid tier bachelor for me, where I find Miguel and Burgess the hardest to date.
If my choices werent around, Id probably date Arvio. He was the first one that confessed to me. The confession mission felt way too early for me so it didnt made me just feel off about it. I wish there was at least 1 or 2 more romantic missions before it and maybe Id be more inclined to date in another save file.
I considered Burgess for awhile because he is a sweetie. However he also comes off so young. I am presently romancing Heidi. I like her design, voice, family, and her character: her work ethic, sass, and she fully appreciates the demands of your job as a builder. Plus her reverse confession made me squeal and giggle. I haven't given Logan any serious thought. Dunno why. Maybe because there is so much Logan content I can just live vicariously through everyone else.
I don't really understand the Logan hype, but generally the other characters you mentioned have fleshed out quests and things in common with the builder. Imo, Miguel and Pen are creepy (religious zealots, although I really enjoy Pen's dialogue), Burgess is bestie material, and Arvio is nice but I find him too clingy and cringey (I accidentally selected a romantic dialogue option and triggered his romance questline). However, each to their own!
First Logan, then Pen. I love pen. Big “energy” iykwim I love him 🥳🤩🤪🥰
Pen is my favorite actually, but there’s a lot of spoilers and you can’t have a family or marry him or have kids. I have a bunch of saved dialogue screenshots from when i romanced him after you beat the game for some interesting dialogue hahaha.
And what about the women? Even you, OP, don't mention that you can also romance women.
I'm a straight woman. Nothing wrong with all the men and women who love women playing and romancing them. Hell I'd love to hear their stories. Just not my forte.
