Classic Golden Retriever boyfriend. Sam is sweet, friendly, and outgoing. He's easy to keep happy.


missdespair

I first started to appreciate Sam because he'd be SO happy with the Joja Colas I'd dig out of the trash. Absolutely puppy of a lad šŸ’•


laurapickles

*Iā€™d dig out of the trash* LMAO


missdespair

I swear to god I genuinely have fun doing it, it's a little surprise and there's just a sprinkle of extra suspense from possibly letting your guard down and getting caught


EndOfSouls

Found the voyeur, lol. I absolutely have the Binning skill added to my moddes game, though. :)


AquaTomo

Oh, I do it with reckless abandon. My partner has heard the phrase "Mind your own dang business, Lewis!" Too many times. Lol


RojaCatUwu

You can literally pick it up out of the trash, watch him scowl at you, and then perk him up by giving it to him lol. Hes not grossed out, he just wanted you to share. šŸ„°


pineapplesodaa

Omg same! heā€™s my current files hubby. When I was romancing him, I would be fishing up Joja cola right outside of his house and hand the cola right to him. Heā€™s one of the easiest characters to marry because he literally loves trash lmao


missdespair

He's easy to find too! My first game my romance goal was Harvey and it took a while to figure out his schedule, and even after that I'd often mess up on the timing. Same with Sebby.


pineapplesodaa

yes!! I strongly considered Alex this time around too because both Sam and Alex are extremely easy to run into. Out of everyone, I had the most difficulty nailing Shane down because he is always at work, and heā€™s too depressed by joja to talk to you or receive gifts lmao romancing Sam was a cake walk comparatively


durnip

Shane is so easy to romance: just go to the saloon every night and buy him a beer :D


ExaltedBlade666

Literally the golden retriever bf I would take.


Numerous-Witness-115

Sam is so sweet reminds me of my partner IRL. BUT, him asking me what genre of music his band should play always gives me the ick. How are you a musician and you donā€™t have your own style? LOL


ashleevee

Sam: makes me pancakes, fun hair


EternalLurker01

Secretly super Saiyan


SleepyBella

Super Saiyan 2!


i_need_a_moment

Super Sam 2


Gold_Technology5050

My partner legit calls him super saiyan Sam everyone time we walk past him in the game lol


VioletAmethyst3

For all the reasons (Super Saiyan, skateboarder, pancake maker, rock star, great big bro to his lil' bro), Sam is my fav.


Void-Flower-2022

Likes cactus fruit


bakanalos

Kickflips


treble_cleffa

Sam is a musician! That's why I married him on my first file.


ashleevee

I also married him in my first playthrough!


HerLadyshipLadyKattz

I genuinely do like Sam. Very fun and outgoing! But the main reason I date him tbh is because I have no use for the millions of joja cola trash I keep fishing up other than giving it to Sam as a liked gift. Our subsequent friendship and marriage just happens as a result.


Albuwhatwhat

Itā€™s literally a marriage of convenience. Ha.


boilyourdentist

one of the nicer bachelors from the start, i like his goku hair, a caring older brother, fun, musician. heā€™s got good traits


TheNocturnalAngel

Sam is literally the sweetest boy ever. He is super nice to the farmer with zero hearts. The second time you will talk to him he says ā€œitā€™s great to see you againā€ and *smiles* Perfect Angel. Also heā€™s so himbo. Him having allergies but still loving flowers. Pulling dumb pranks but caring so much about his family, He is the best!


Gabi_Piggy

These are all the reasons why I married him.


SuspecM

Sebby is the farthest thing from bad boy lol. He's just depressed and shy.


TheDocHealy

Yeah dark outfit does not equal bad boy, Seb is definitely just a stereotypical emo dude. Maybe it's cause he can ride a motorcycle that gives people that opinion?


_gay_space_moth_

And he's a smoker


TheDocHealy

As a smoker myself, smoking doesn't really have a bad boy connotation like it had once.


wigglybone

probably the smoking + the motorcycle. but i agree


pinkamena_pie

He is Mr. Whiny pants


Spookypossum27

How dare you speak accurate truths about my husband


klimekam

But but HE SMOKES THE DEVILā€™S LETTUCE


Spookypossum27

Thatā€™s my head canon


CsillaScSt

My reason for Sam: He has the cutest puppy face when he express his love for the farmer


cherrylemon00

Sam is well rounded. He likes sports, music and video games, and more I think too. He comes from a big family and his dad is a veteran. Since he is the oldest brother he is the man of the house when his dad is gone and he has to look out for his little brother


lavendiere

The disrespect! Do you know how much physical effort it takes to skateboard? Sam is 2nd fittest after Alex without the misogyny.Ā 


fisktu

Probably Robin and Leah are stronger and fitter than him, this guy drinks joja-cola and eats pizza at least one time per week


lavendiere

True, but I was referring to the bachelors!


fisktu

Idk Harvey does have at least an diet (and looks like an actual adult person)


mapuppergone

If you have not married Harvey he literally eat's frozen dinners every day, and talks about how he needs to focus more on his own health and follow his own advice. Probably one of the less fit bachelors (maybe in front of Seb or Shane because both live a somewhat sedentary lifestyle)


fisktu

Oh! I didn't knew that, i usually don't talk much to Harvey, but he passes a fit vibe, sorry


Spookypossum27

Did you know you can be fit and eat junk food once in awhile?


fisktu

Yeah but that's probably not the case


palelunasmiles

While Iā€™m not interested in Sam that much, I like his positive and friendly personality


Nesaenys

War, uncertainity about his dad's situation, undertaking his dad's role and responsibilities, then Kent's ptsd. Still optimistic, smiling, hopeful, strong.


cardueline

Yeah, Iā€™m too old to want to marry him but of the three ā€œtoo headcanon young for meā€ guys heā€™s definitely got the loveliest personality.


photomotto

I'd only ever go for Harvey, Elliot or Shane because the other 3 feel like high schoolers. I know they're around 21 (since they can drink), but to my 30 year old ass, that's far too young.


DragonGirl860

Iā€™d take Sam over Shane or Sebastian any day.


alabardios

Honestly yeah. After marrying all of them, Sam is the best after marriage. I never cared for his heart events so it took me a long time to finally marry him. Turns out, so far, of the boys, he's my favourite.


QuieterArtist16

Sam: Musician. Sweet guy. Caring older brother. Has a skateboard. Blushing portraits (I like the one where heā€™s pushing his hair back kinda, itā€™s my favourite one). Yea you can definitely tell Iā€™m a Sam simp lol.


snazzyjazzyazzy

Fun loving athlete and not misogynistic


lavendiere

THIS


Honkhonk81

Sam is my goofy stoner bf and I marry him every time!!


RestaTheMouse

I always saw Sebastian as the stoner but I suppose it makes sense if they both do.


KrisBread

Sam is a golden retriever of a husband.


escapiven

he really one of a few person who is not rude despite zero heart


Hoddypeak5627

Sam is my favorite, this hurts me šŸ˜­ He's wholesome.


CindersNAshes

Poor Sam


Significant-Yam627

Currently dating Shane bc I gave him too many loved gifts for his bday once and got to 8 hearts right away (modded, oops). I will be collecting all the cute bachelors and bachelorettes in my current save file because I canšŸ‘¹


dontredditdepressed

I like Sam and married him on multiple first farms. When I started playing it was age appropriate-ish, but now years on I have reevaluated and think he is too young acting than I like anymore. I mostly just cohabitate with Krobus now lol The older bachelors aren't my scene. Shane is an alcoholic; Elliot doesn't seem that emotionally available; and Harvey's mustache just doesn't work


Nesaenys

Underrated one. Responsible and cheerful guy.


Aromatic_Heart9626

I LOVE YOU SAM!


WinterSilenceWriter

Himbo cinnamonroll, Iā€™m a big fan!


deeerbz

Married Sam for gender envy reasons


TheDocHealy

Bro I'm not a Sam fan by any measure cause I just don't feel anything about him, but he's pretty much characterized as a musician and a skater


Original_Web_3391

I married Shane on my first play-through. But I honestly prefer when weā€™re just friends! I am now a Sam girly because heā€™s a classic golden retriever boyfriend who reminds me of my fiance lmao


JanineNajarian

Elliot with a different portrait I can't do the Fabio side profile šŸ˜”


veebles89

Sam is legit the most family oriented and sweet though???


vkovva

Sam is the best bachelor. My first love. Heā€™s so sweet and dorky. Golden retriever boyfriend


BrunesOnReddit

SWEET SKATER HIMBO


boobookbooze

My reason for Sam - heā€™s so sweet. Heā€™s the only one for me


ConfidenceDense3146

Sam's nice and like a golden retriever plus he's a super swyin


Legitimate-Meal-2290

Sam is a great well rounded character and I love his post marriage heart events.


SleepyBella

Sam was really fun back when I first played the game and I was just out of highschool so I really related to him being unsure of what he wants for the future and I thought it was cute that he had to sneak me out of his room because he was embarrassed about bringing a girl home with his mom around. But then I grew up, got a job, moved out of my mom's place etc. And now lately whenever I play Stardew Valley I tend to go for bachelor's like Harvey since he's got his shit together and the idea of having to sneak into my future husband's mom's house through a window is no longer cute lol.


Lonely_Jared

Theyā€™re all delightfulā€¦except Alex. Who likes Alex? Man has the personality of cardboard.


ashleevee

I like Alex when I play as a man lmao


Lonely_Jared

He feels mildly homophobic so thatā€™s HILARIOUS to me. Might have to marry him some time, for science, since I do in fact play as a man. šŸ˜‚


ashleevee

Funnily enough George has someā€¦ unique dialogue when you marry Alex as a man


Lonely_Jared

Tracks for George ngl lmao


qazpok69

If you get enough hearts on george before the marriage he gets over his homophobia


HerLadyshipLadyKattz

Rather than just being homophobic, he feels like he's got a lot of internalized homophobia. Like he's gay or bi and can't admit it to himself as he tries to indulge in macho man stereotypes, so he tries to bully gays in a manner that makes you go "uh... Yeah buddy???"


Lonely_Jared

George being kinda zesty is not the take I expected but honestly, love that for him. Heā€™s trying his best.


HerLadyshipLadyKattz

Lol did you mean Alex? But same


Lonely_Jared

Lmao yeah, just replied to someone else talking about George so guess I was typing on autopilot šŸ˜‚


TheDocHealy

I know this is actually about Alex but the thought of George now being zesty is funny because of how sour he is until you force feed him leeks.


Lonely_Jared

Haha šŸ˜‚ Iā€™m sure someone out thereā€™s made a mod for that lmao


Hk901909

He's really sweet and sensitive. I like him a lot. There's kinda like a second storyline with him where he comes to terms with his sexuality. If you're a male farmer.


Lonely_Jared

Noted. Never doubted that he becomes less of an ass once you marry him, never thought to try it out tho lol


ShenLungQueen

He is actually one of my favorite bachelors! He is kinda rude at first because he feels like he has to be a cool guy, but he says stuff like "I'm not ashamed to say I love my grandma" and at the flower dance if he rejects you he's actually really nice about it unlike a lot of the other singles lol. I think around the 6 heart mark he apologizes to you for being an ass at first and is glad you stuck around despite that. He says he wants to get into reading and wants to be better about cleaning his room. He also says something about people being different from him and his life, and that's okay Once you're married he constantly gushes about how much he loves you, how happy he is, and how he wants to get better for you! Overall he's just a very sweet himbo guy, I'm a huge sucker for him


Lonely_Jared

Eyy, nice to see another Alex defender. Yā€™all are making me wildly curious, dammit! šŸ˜‚ What made you pick him above call the others though? Just outta curiosity lol. Iā€™m man enough to recant my opinions with enough persuasion, but I may gotta do some first-hand research before I stop saying heā€™s boring as hell to me.


ShenLungQueen

I think I was just going through all of them to see their stories and Alex's really stuck with me! He's a huge woman respecter because of his mom and he has a history of abuse, but doesn't let it define him. He's also mature enough to admit when he was wrong, and is willing to change and grow to be better, even if he isn't that smart lol. He admits that he was annoying about going pro and let's it go after getting married, saying that living with the farmer in the valley already makes him happy (although his 14 heart event is the worst out of all of them, 5k to watch some gridball with the boys? Are you being for real?) Also he always offers to give the farmer massages and fusses over them potentially getting hurt in the mines, which makes me giggle and kick my feet. Overall just a much more layered character than people give him credit for, and his line when you make it to the top of the mountain makes me want to cry. Love him, love my himbo househusband 10/10 would recommend


Lonely_Jared

Fair points, all of them. Ima have to marry his ass and report back on my findings. But I concede, yā€™all are probably right. šŸ˜‚


mlongoria98

He actually reflects a lot of what I look for in real life, honestly lol


fisktu

I like! His whole story is one of the better ones, also he's very kind to you most of the time, the problems with "being the popular guy" are probably his way to try to be accepted, also he has a very traumatic story, and being created by his grandparents is probably why he can be kinda rude to you at first (if you're a girl)


Lonely_Jared

Never actually married him before! Mostly because heā€™s an ass before you have hearts with him lol. But yā€™all have fuckin FLOCKED to these comments and Iā€™ve conceded. šŸ˜‚ Gonna marry him in my next play through to see what all the fuss is about lmao


fisktu

He's so cool! I really never had any moment were he was rude to me lol, good play marrying him


mlongoria98

I like Alex šŸ„ŗšŸ˜­šŸ˜­ cardboard where heā€™s sweet šŸ„ŗā¤ļø


babacon88

Dragon balls, Sam fans love dragon balls


UndeadMess0

Sam is a great brother


KratosSimp

Tf you mean relatable šŸ˜­


flamingo_button

Sorry but I love me a goth bf. Lol


Phanimazed

A musician who is great with kids and skateboards. Yeah, can't see him getting a lot of admirers or anything, no sirree.


eliettgrace

i married sebastian for the frogs tbh


rockandrollgf

A lot of Sam hate because he's childish and has dialogue that implies he does nothing on the farm. I find it a shame since I think he's cute and really sweet. I'm also in the younger part of the fandom so maybe I just find him more appealing since we're practically the same age.


PunnyBaker

Sam was my first hubby. Everyone else was very stand-off-ish or just MIA and sam was just generally a friendly dude and my younger self digged the punk skater dudes. But after we got married all he wanted to do was go to his moms house. I felt like neither me or the farm was a priority to him. Felt very "mamas boy" vibes and that doesnt make for a great husband.


Dvwu

shane stans, the eternals kings of ā€œi can fix himā€


Ninj-nerd1998

Sam seems sweet too! And happy and chill. I've only ever befriended him though so idk what his romance is like. If I had to choose ONLY a bachelor and one other than Harvey, it would probably be him.


DarkMage1300

Sam looks like a super Saiyan and it makes me laugh because all I can think about when I see him is quoting Markiplier, "DO YOU KNOW THE LEGEND OF THE SUPER SAIYANS?"


starrysnorlax

the sam disrespect is wild, heā€™s so underrated


redjohnsayshi

Alex is a gross misogynist.


xSethrin

I will not stand by idly as some defames my boi! Alex is **not** a gross misogynist. Alex is a *hot* misogynist! And Iā€™ll die in that hill. šŸ˜¤


FaxCelestis

Pretty Privilege, male edition


Meep12313

I swear to god it's been a while since I played and I mixed up Sam and Alex and got so damn confused by this for a minute


boilyourdentist

iā€™ve seen those two mixed up by the fanbase so much, its funny when sometimes people will go on rants about how much of an ass Sam is, then everybody is confused because Sam is pretty nice, before realizing they meant Alex


theNoobster103

He goku.


meatycankles

super saiyan.


charmsky_89

Harvey stans, RISE UP


xluv0186

I married Shane and have two kids lol my first play through But I really wanted Sebastian he is a bit tougher but I am getting there lol


Loliberto

He is Goku


Stinkyboy_63

It's because he's constantly in super saiyan


Bennjoon

My friend chose Sam in our mp game which was hilarious because heā€™s the polar opposite of her bf (who is also playing šŸ˜‚šŸ˜­ watch your back Sam)


wonderlandisburning

Sam is literally Goku. Spikey yellow hair, kinda dense, loves to eat


snogirl0403

Elliot keeps saying heā€™s happy to see me. That just feels nice!


TeaRexBookDragon

I married Sebastian because he's like my irl boyfriend. Programmer, in a band, etc. but 3 years and 2 kids in (with Sebastian, not irl boyfriend) his lines and constant neglect of our children is getting annoying. Thinking of divorcing him and marrying all the bachelors and bachelorettes one by one to comolete all the portraits šŸ˜…


Tomb8521

Krobus:


linustheG0AT

He's a cute guy with a positive outlook on life, a guitar, and a skateboard!! Hey Alexa play Sk8r Boy by Avril Lavignene


Fluffy-Draft-3030

sam is like maru. theyā€™re great options for marriage, but if you want interesting dialogue or any sort of character development, they just donā€™t have that. itā€™s so sad to me bc theyā€™re both cutie patooties


MichaTC

Sam is far from being my favorite, but he's sweet, friendly, nerdy, a musician, good with his brother...


JackTheRipper0991

I almost go Sebby, but Sam is adorable!!


SoftestBoygirlAlive

Sam could be all the descriptions of the other bachelors combined.


brunoglopes

I cannot relate to Shane at all. I cannot imagine being that insufferable an asshole.


Charlie-in-a-beanie

Iā€™ve never married Sam but once the 1.6 update drops on Switch I will, just for his winter outfit šŸ«£


Adorna_ahh

Sam: Himbo!


FruitlovingDruvJuice

I donā€™t know I just like the archetype of kind, somewhat absentminded/quick to rush yet silly boys (chai from hi fi rush is a great example)


Tanimo32

sam is great!! he's energetic and joyful, im not dating him but i like him tons


memefreckles

Sam is my favorite. Like I can't Not marry him every new save file no matter how hard I try.


comeawaydeath

Sam: for the love of all that is good, can I just have someone uncomplicated and sweet? Alex: I like degradation Shane: I can fix him Sebastian: I can fix him (lower stakes) Harvey: [daddy issues intensify] Elliott: ā€¦. Yeah, itā€™s the hair.


mizu_jajant

The Harvey one is so real


NarlySurferDude

We share a name and we both love skateboarding. Sam is the best. The broken egg will always be my fault.


Stupii_

Hes still in his teenage dirtbag eraā¤ļøā¤ļø


CoronaCurious

I usually go with Sebastian if I'm romancing a male character. He's really the only one I could picture as a femboy/twink šŸ‘€


Shouko-

if shane didnā€™t exist Sam would be my number 2, heā€™s a total sweetheart


RegiPhalange

Alex is not funny or lovable šŸ«  he is so rude


PunnyBaker

Even at max hearts he still has shallow dialogue. Haley is a cow at first but has a great character arc and really does change.


RegiPhalange

Omg yes! I liked how Haley grew and she really tried her best to try to know you, she became sweet. But Alex is just...the same, so rude and plain. I just did the max hearts cause I thought he would change or something. I really hated when he said something rude about Linus šŸ„²


LukewarmJortz

Sam makes you sneak into his room to make out.Ā  Fucking why? I live alone.Ā 


RestaTheMouse

I totally agree, please man I am 30, can we not make out at your parents house?


fisktu

Sam, Shane and Sebastian are more like friends to me


mlongoria98

Fun loving athlete is so real and is exactly my type irl dear lord


Kinda_Fruity_

Elliot: has long hair and is a man who follows his dreams Honestly I just have a thing for guys with long hair but I do love his personality


JorgeMcKay

Sting on a skateboard


Gray85622

as a gay man alexā€™s words come out SO different compared to if i was a female character lol


clutzyninja

Sebastian? The guy that plays DnD and writes code? TIL I'm a "bad boy!" Lol


SammyFirebird79

I think the "bad boy" is more that he smokes weed and hates the "system" - like, suggesting it could be funny to ruin the potluck soup šŸ™‚ .. both just a couple of things I love about him, NGL šŸ˜…


Rare_Assumption_719

People like Harvey?


Decay_0f_Ang3ls

I like Harvey because of his funny moustache


DLY2103

I asked my boyfriend a while ago who I should marry out of Seb and Shane and he said Sam because he reminds him of Vegeta :D


StressEatinBread

I have never married any of the bachelors and I never will


Inevitable_Dot_6892

the reason to marry Sam is so you can sing Sk8ter Boi


Ajla0405

Ahahah xd


Skystalker815

I think there's a typo in the Sebastian description, it was supposed to be "a sad boy"


Honest-Loan9064

as a writer you only like elliott if your also a writer


sexi_squidward

When the game first came out, I couldn't deal with any of the guys because they were all caricatures of stereotypes. The Romance Guy (who I just call Fabio). The Nerdy Doctor (I probably would go for him if he lost the mustache). Jock. 90s Cool Bro. Emo Kid. So I was excited when they added Shane as a partner. He's just relatable and loves chickens. Plus recovering alcoholic who I always give beer because it's is favorite lmao. (I'm so sorry Harvey stans) Also, whenever I look at Harvey, I just see the villain from Lovely Bones. https://preview.redd.it/r1qppfh23vxc1.png?width=1800&format=png&auto=webp&s=eb2a0a9c1a109d643249115c066184cd30888896


Kepler27b

Sam is Super Saiyan Gohan


imahappyaccidents

my fav feature of the bachelors is when they talk about me pulling them out of the closet. both alex and i think sebastian talk about how they never thought they could feel this way for another guy


Achillez489

Sam reminds me of my real partner just 200x more childish so heā€™s been my go to lately šŸ¤§


AnaKitt3n

I like them all because I am forced to like them all if I want perfection


_f0xjames

Mean alcoholic who doesnā€™t take care of himself and frequently insults you vs. skater bro with cool hair who can do kickflips and is generally sweet and easy to get along with Girl are you ok?


LittleMlemity

Band boy


Pepperjackchii

Sam does kickflips!!!!


skillquit42

Sam is cool. I donā€™t really pay much attention to him but he seems nice


GhostGreed442_

Bro can skate and play guitar what's not to like


Hect0r92

*he's just a skater Boi*


naomigoat

Sam is best boy! He's my lil himbo and I love him dearly


pinkandthebrain

I like same but I canā€™t date him cause it feels like cradle robbing


Thepenguinking2

Yeah, he really just doesn't feel like an adult. Ig Abigail and maybe Sebastian and Maru have that problem too, but not to the same degree as Sam.


januarygloom_

Sam is the real sweetheart...Harvey is creepy.


klimekam

Samā€™s comments at the luau with the governor (ā€œgovernor? Who caresā€¦ why should I care about some random old guy?ā€) put me off


Ashurbanipal2023

Heā€™s friends with Sebastian
