Even as a teen girl I couldn't abide love triangles. I don't know anyone who likes them, other than presumably YA authors.

I think they're okay if they're not a main plot point, but in general I don't much like them either. I really really like romance, even cliché and tropey romance (as long as it's at least kind of well-written), and I like to see people resolving tension/issues in (pre-)relationships, but not if it's coming from a love triangle.

Same. Plot triangles are the absolute worst. The only one I didn't hate with burning hatred was Macross Frontier, but even that was borderline.

[ninety6tears]

I like them a lot, in theory, because people are human and there's no illusion of "there's one person for everyone." But they're done so repetitively and artificially so much of the time, with too much focus on jealousy and defining a character by their choice of boyfriend, etc. and so often come back around to pushing The One as a thing so that any investment in the other relationship amounts to cheap drama. And I believe it can be done in a way that makes characters flawed but not overly selfish or fickle or unfaithful, but that's not a challenge many writers are focused on.

I like them in fanfic.
