tsundere=moe?

I have allways wondered what is the appeal of tsundere. I myself am infatuated with multiple characters who some call tsundere. rin tousaka,illya, asuka langly, etc. but i fail to understand what it is about a "mean girl" that turs us fans on soo much. many of the fans are allready suffering from inferiority complexes and having a women like that would realisticly probably drive them to suicide.

please post what you think it is that causes this attraction.

I'm not sure if I'd actually would go for a moé girl but I do see the charm of such a personality. Basically it's a girl who will talk to you even if you fail. A lot of us moé fans probably fail a lot and girl like that would be perfect motivation to do better.
