Correlation between liking anime and being dateless

Post Reply New Topic

this does not make sense. boys can be into anime at age 12.

Anime does not make you dateless.

Being dateless gives you time to watch anime

Sure, but they'll become more obsessed as women reject them. The ones women are attracted to will drift away from their hobbies or at least not spend as much time on them.

It's a common misconception.

Anime presents an ideal in terms of personality and body time. Tsundere's are typically slim whilst the "moe" characters are curvy as all hell. So when we try to apply that to real life, we find that the really cute girls are slim whilst the tsundere's are curvy.

Fortunately, we have conventions to go hunti...I mean browsi...I mean...f**k. >.<

Try and find conventions and go to 'em. If you can find a girl that loves anime, games or sci-fi books or even tentacle porn as much as you do, she's the one.

no, really there is not any evidence of that being the case. many married men (and women) still have obsessions in spite of being married. and a 12-year old who has never been rejected could be just as obsessed as a man who is unlucky in love. you are applying your own bias to other people's obsessions, and you have no basis to do so.

It's not just my experience...it's the experience of millions of men who simply can't get a date.

Most geek girls are so immature and maladjusted, theres not a chance in hell the relationship would be meaningful. Even another geek guy might feel like he's baby sitting her.

Depends on the geek. If they look normal, have normal social skills, and have a normal social life, yeah, why not. If they act like big kids, spend 14 hours a day on the PC, and wear Voltron shirts, most women wouldn't go near them. Which leads me to this next point I'd like to make!

There was one HUGE exception I saw, and I swear to god this is true. There was this pod of computers at college some years back, and a group of gamers sat there all day, every day, all semester, playing some MMO. Among them, there was a guy/girl couple. The dude looked like a real life, mentally stunted version of 2-D from Gorillaz. It seemed like he had almost no personality, and when he talked, he sounded... well I could impersonate him, but not describe him. He sounded half dead, there you go. His girlfriend, in my opinion, was just so cute I couldn't believe it. I'm not the only one who thought so. She was half way between average and plus size, very healthy looking, long gold brown hair in pony tail, and had these huge blue-green eyes. She was a gamer herself, always laughing and joking (but not "holler" laughing) and was really sweet and personable. She wasn't stereotypically beautiful, but she was still very attractive, and like I said, a decent person. That's normally not the kind of thing I see though. I don't know what she saw in him, but he was lucky to have her, IMO.

Granted but you don't have enough info about this couple to assume anything. You can't know whether he's just sick or has a condition like aspies have. And if you want girls to date you even that you have AS, maybe it's the same for him. And besides you met him just for a sec. Perhaps he's a really sweet guy and if he makes his girl happy, why would they not be together?

I never said I only met him for a sec. I knew him for a semester. I went to his apartment across the street a few times. I didn't know either of them that WELL, but from the outside looking in, it just seemed unusual.

Who the f*** are we kidding, women usually don't go for men like that, especially ones considered attractive!

and all those millions are supposedly more obsessed with anime than regular men or more obsessed than teenagers? actually.... no.

it just doesn't work to turn it back on women.

I didn't say it was always anime. In fact, I explicitly said I'm not an anime fan. In fact, I've never watched a full one.

But yeah, guys like me will become obsessed with something else.



Sure it does. The dating game is rigged in favor of them at every turn. Again, let's take a woman and man who are both 5/10 on the looks scale and put both of their pics on a dating site. Guess which one's going to get a hundred responses within a week and which one will get none?
