I’ve been feeling really lonely lately so I’ve been trying to find any romance books to distract me.

However, the only books with male heterosexual protagonists I can find are either sports romances or have “alpha male” protagonists.

Are there any books where the main character is nerdier and more relatable?

    Not OP, but probably realistic is a better word for it. OP mentioned nerdy, so maybe physically weak, shorter than average, etc. Basically the opposite of 6’+ gym rat with year round 6-pack.

      I’d prefer if the protagonist did have other typically nerdy traits (a poor social life, an interest in technology, movies, literature etc.) but I wouldn’t exactly mind a more realistic protagonist since I don’t have many choices.
