I can tell I watch too much anime...

[Videogamer555]

...because whenever I see a woman in real life I always think of how attractive (or not attractive) she is as a comparison of if she is as attractive as a female anime character or not. If she's quite attractive I think of her as a "real life anime chick".

Wow he he....... *whisper* your not the only one!!!*

@VG555
Do you think your mother will rather be upset knowing she'll never ever have grandchildren from you? And as for your father, pass down the family name? I think thats a little creepy for you to think that way or with anyone else.

Not to interrupt your point, but in all fairness, I don't see why that necessarily has to be a bad thing..

I for one, most certainly do not want children. >_>;

For one, you don't make your mother cry.

huh?

I do what I want independent of what other people think. I don't exist as some kind of projection of my parental unit's will, I'm my own unique individual, and choices I make in life are the ones I've determined to be best for me; if not approved by them (or anyone else really), well, too bad for them.

I think I could actually use that as a complement to win the heart of an IRL babe. I'd be like "Hey you're as beautiful as an anime girl." and I think she'd be flattered (at least if she knew what anime is, if not I could explain and show her some anime so she'd understand) to hear such a compliment.

Your logic won't work. Either she won't know who/what the heck you are talking about. And when she finds out she'll leave you since you are a loser with no life.

If she does know who/what you are talking about she'll just walk the other way and think you are a loser with no life.

Honestly if someone said I looked like an anime girl to get with me I'd be seriously creeped out and wouldn't find that flattering at all.

Unless of course she is an uber-anime fan at (or at least almost at) the level of an otaku, in which case she might find it very flattering. Lets look at it from the other direction. For example if a chick said I was as handsome as some anime dude I'd be flattered (unless they were referring to the overly effeminate bishonen type of male anime character in which case it would be an insult, but if referring to any of the normal tough-dude type anime guys then yeah I WOULD find it to be a VERY flattering compliment).

[Videogamer555]

nevermind I already posted a reply like that above.

[TadashiED]

Hmm.....

[Wio]

So like, is it okay to blatantly flame people now?

I know for a fact that I don't watch too much anime. For otaku standards I watch too little.

[animeyay]

Actually, the only thing keeping ,e from abandoning real life women and opting for an otaku life style is my desire for a family in the future. XD

But yea, I guess if you don't want to have children, then it won't matter as much.

[Jmosies]

Alright the new topic is cheesy pickup lines:

POOF! (girl: What are you doing?) I'm here, where are your other two wishes?

Was that an earthquake or did you just rock my world?

[wolfgirl90]

...because whenever I see a woman in real life I always think of how attractive (or not attractive) she is as a comparison of if she is as attractive as a female anime character or not.

I guess that is a sign, considering the fact that most anime characters have exaggerated features that would certainly set them a part from actual humans, let alone any realistic standards of attractiveness.

If she's quite attractive I think of her as a "real life anime chick".

Real life anime chick?

What are you trying to say? It's a sign of what? On a side note, I think her head is too small.

Edit: It's a sign of watching too much anime, right?

[Skylar1]

I think her head is too small.

nah, the head ratio is actually pretty correct.

I think what's causing the distortion is due to the fact the torso is way too wide.

Man the harpoons, THAR SHE BLOWS!!

[Videogamer555]

Is that a lifesize inflatable or plush anime figure? Or is that someone in super awesome cosplay costume? Also, is this in an anime convention in the US or Japan?

I just realized my ideal wife would be a woman who's as interested in anime and/or video games as I am.

[Wio]

Why do you think that?

[Videogamer555]

Duh

[Wio]

Duh

I dunno dude. The otaku girls in this forum don't seem to be that kind to you, though they probably have good reason. If I were in your shoes I'd be a bit turned off.

Also, you're not in any position to have that attitude since it took you a damn long time to figure out something you think is so obvious.

[wolfgirl90]

It was an actual person. Its a type of cosplay called "Animegao" (literally "Anime face") where people where full body costumes in order to look like a certain character. This is done to make the person look like the original appearance of the character rather than real life version of them. I don't know where that convention was taking place (if it was a convention in the first place), although the location is really of no importance.

Of course, if we want to be really creepy, we can talk about another Asian subculture where people actually alter their faces (digitally or otherwise) in order to make themselves look like anime characters. So we end up with this:

I just realized my ideal wife would be a woman who's as interested in anime and/or video games as I am.

I hope you have other standards for your ideal mate because having this particular hobby in common doesn't necessarily mean that things will work out.

By that same token, not sharing that hobby doesn't mean that the relationship won't work out. While I think that it would be cool if my significant other liked anime and video games (because I have Kingdom Hearts and Neon Genesis Evangelion stuff everywhere), I don't really care if they like it or not. There are other things that I care about: job, education, tolerance of my religion, whether or not we are going to spank the kids or leave them on the roof, knowledge of my skeleton cache, etc.

Most guys I've met who had this many criteria ended up singing the man's prayer:
"I'm a man, but I can change, if I have to, I guess..."
(But hey, they made their own choices.)

Which is why VG555's criterion is probably more realistic, despite not as logically derived.

[SigmaSD]

Wait, are we making fun of VG555 again, cause I'm ALWAYS up for that.
