I can't really say if I disliked any of the men but I found the protagonist least interesting.

They all have their flaws but I don't dislike any of them. Their characters are based on the reflection of other's action

I actually liked all of the men, as each had a rightful place in the story. Alec was the least mature in many ways, but he added an interesting dimension to the story since he was single and carefree.

I did not like Alec, because of his behaviour during the man Missions. I felt he was controlling.

I did not dislike any of the men. I believe they all had unique and interesting stories.

I didn't have any favourites or non favourites. I felt each of them were portrayed as just humans, with their individual strengths and flaws.
I agree, I found it difficult to pick who I preferred or didn’t like. Most of them annoyed me in their own way but like you said they just have individual strengths and flaws.

I think the protagonist. I couldn't deal with his inconsistencies and inability to make some important decisions that affect his life. He let others control his life that he lost his happiness and freedom like a puppet. He deserved to wear the pink bracelet for ever because he lacked self-confidence.

I dislike the protagonist for his childish behavior and also dislike Sam for his careless attitude towards Ethyan.

Alec's instability especially in the early parts of the book made him my least favorite character.

I lost all respect for the protagonist when he cheated on his wife. Infidelity is a trigger point for me, and I just wouldn't tolerate it. I didn't like Alec much too. His advice should only be taken when you want to know what not to do.

I felt the same way too. I really couldn't dislike any of them. They all probably had their own demons to deal with.
