Hey, I'm going to see if I can be of any help here.

First, you need to realize why RD has a lot of fans. (These are just my opinions, so take them with a grain of salt.) She's the tomboy of the group. Bronies are going to easily identify with RD than, say, Rarity. That's not even speaking for the majority, mind you. Her personality has been shown to be very well-rounded, from her aspect of loyalty to paralyzing self-consciouness to overwhelming egocentricity.

My reasons for liking her have to do with all the above, not mention her friendship with Fluttershy. I'm also heading into the Army, and RD--for lack of better, less corny phrasing--pretty much summed up my dream to join the 101st Airborne during her part in "At the Gala". In addition, my personality fits hers to a T. I'm brash, uncensored, and a bit of a narcissist, but, as proven, I'll be ready to put my a... flank on the line for my friends at a moment's notice. In other words, I'm a human with a few less than unique flaws. We all have them. I also love reading and writing, so there's that.

Now, with all that said, I will say--with no offense meant towards you--that Twilight is my least favorite of the Mane Six. But this is mainly due to her pulling so much a Goku. I absolutely loved her in the season 2 finale.

We all have our likes and dislikes, and you certainly don't have to like RD at all. You're actually holding up the crux of the show by going out and getting the opinions of others instead of just blindly ignoring what you don't like, so you get major props from me for that. Just don't go rabid fangirl like so many others and we should be just fine.
