Oh. Hey, you're back. You ever going to get around to giving me an answer, or are you just going to leave me hanging?

I'll use an example of something I'm reading then: In Notre Dame, all the guys want to bang Esmeralda. All of them.
No, that's an exaggeration. A number of the main characters do, but the entire cast is not attracted to Esmeralda.

-Do all the girls/guys fight over her/him for no reason?
And every romantic story ever written?
I'm also confused by the fact that you seem to think: The plot of Notre-Dame = The plot of every romance story ever.
Naked Bacon
Is it reason enough that she's attractive?
Yes.
Naked Bacon
Because if that's reason enough,
It is.
Naked Bacon
it's impossible for there not to be a reason. That reason being that the character is attractive. In some way.
Attractiveness is subjective and varies from culture to culture. As for reasons, that is technically true, though if the justification for something is completely artificial and contrived, then it carries no narrative weight. It's the same as having no reason at all.
Naked Bacon
The fact that all the guys want to bang Esmeralda doesn't make it a bad story, though.
Because there's a reason, and it isn't contrived.
Naked Bacon
It also doesn't make it a good story. It's what the writer does with it, you see.
No kidding.
