Lonely after Valentine's Day? At least you've got it better than these romantic trainwrecks

3. A Mithra and… well, anything, really
Final Fantasy XI | 2003 | PC, PS2, 360

Being an all-female race, Final Fantasy XI's Mithra catgirls technically have limitless opportunities for romance; there's no shame in dating outside your species if girls are your only option, right?

On the other hand, all Mithra are played by fat men with glandular problems*, so each potential pairing is weird in its own special way.

*The editors of GamesRadar would like to apologizeto any Mithra players who are sensitive about their weight, glandular problems and/or manliness.

After graduating from college in 2000 with a BA in journalism, I worked for five years as a copy editor, page designer and videogame-review columnist at a couple of mid-sized newspapers you've never heard of. My column eventually got me a freelancing gig with GMR magazine, which folded a few months later. I was hired on full-time by GamesRadar in late 2005, and have since been paid actual money to write silly articles about lovable blobs.
