Wait, so the waifu thing is actually for real?

Weve bumped heads before, but Devolution droopping truth bombs in this and the Pony threads.

Did one of you seriously compare the morality of both the dry fucking a pillow "lifestyle" and the "dudebro" conquest of women etc?

Baffling how people cannot understand how wrong this shit is.

Take normality out of the equation altogether. If your so deluded that you cannot understand how this and the pony shit is unhealthy, then your a lost cause.

Yes, humans are social creatures. You cannot replace that need to socialise by pretending a pillow or a cartoon character are real. You just cant. Its mentally unhealthy.

Might sound harsh, but these people need to wake the fuck and start living their lives.

If I were a gambling man, Id bet that if you could even convince a woman to come home with you, she wouldnt stick around there too long seeing all this anime shit everywhere. Or fucking you with your wife pillow on the god damn bed while you do it.

You will have to grow up eventually and face the fact there may be something wrong with you and you may need some help. Im sure there are local services or your doctor could recommend someone to talk to.

There are happy people that are completely asexual or just choose to be alone. Some people don't need any other sexual life than masturbation. Some even prefer it to real sex (something I believe the internet porn generation will see increasing).

It was a tongue in cheek remark. But it was funny to see you listing nerdy things you like and then listing out how a nerd is supposed to present these interests to other people. It really came off as an insecure attitude towards themselves.

For all your defense about people who prefer to jerk off to underage cartoon women than risk going out into the real world and meeting actual women, you can't seem to wrap your head around the fact that maybe these people don't actually prefer being alone.

The fact that you can't see that having a relationship with a pillow of an underage cartoon girl would be a huge red flag when dating women is straight up sad dude. I enjoy what I enjoy and the women I've dated found my nerdy passionate attitude attractive. But if you're content with not understanding that fundamental difference, then god bless you and your loneliness.

Also, this keeps getting better: Please do tell - what am I insecure about? You still haven't even mentioned what "needs" I'm suppressing... If you're gonna play armchair psychiatrist, you're gonna have to do more than throw out buzz words and hope they stick, bro.

I can tell you that nearly every girl in the Japan club at my college would have been impressed by that dude and cajunator's room.

The situation: OK, you're 30. A college girl is impressed by your room. What do you do next? Oh wait, you have no idea what to do next because the only experience you had dating in high school was Persona 4.
 
My girlfriend bought me an anime poster*

But otherwise my room is 100% hipster (not in a poser sense, I like the stuff). When I turned 13 I realised the having a room full of Wario posters wasn't going to get me far in life. I completely understand the argument that you should do what you want as long as it doesn't hurt anyone - I sympathise - but you have to accept that people will think that you're weird. Unlike being gay (or even religious to a certain extent) it's a genuine lifestyle choice, so you have to accept the consequences of it.

I still talk to my friends about games (I've had a few too many drunken ramblings about the perfection of Majora's Mask) but I try not to be a weirdo about. It's not fair that some hobbies are more accepted than others (although I think any sane girl would be creeped out by a room full of posters of half naked women too) but that's life.

*it's Totoro

Edit: the moral panic, pop psychology, cultural elitism shit is stupid.

So you learn? Or find a girl that takes the lead? Believe it or not, I know some that have said they find awkward guys attractive. Yeah, there's a limit of course, but my point stands.

Did you people learn nothing from 40 Year Old Virgin? Age doesn't make a difference. You can go through awkward growing pains at any point in your life. The notion that you need to date a million girls in high school to "prepare" you is ridiculous.

Bravo. This is the kind of tough love that is needed in this thread.
 
I thought in the movie the woman found out that he didn't really want to sell the stuff and was only doing it because she was asking him to. Did he actually sell all of his stuff? I don't think he did.

To be clear, I'm not condoning this sort of lifestyle at all. By my own standards it's very much abnormal. I just don't see how someone who:

1) Is happy
2) Is self sufficient

and

3) Doesn't affect others negatively

can be considered unhealthy? I'm not implying that everyone with a 'waifu' satisfies that criteria (and I'm sure there are many people out there who genuinely need help on that front), but there could be some who do and I'm uncomfortable passing judgement on them if they're personally satisfied with their lives.

He sold everything at the end, IIRC.

Passing judgement is fun though. It makes you feel better about yourself
 
Man, I don't know. I want to say "no harm, no foul," but this sort of thing strikes me as unhealthy and trying to fill a hole in one's life. I love comics, video games (I actually when to school for game design), and to a much lesser extent, anime, but I would never try to replace real people with those things. I say this even as someone whose never had a romantic relationship. People are awesome, and if I ever work out my issues, I would much rather have a flesh and blood woman over a Batgirl poster. Lol

I am curious though. Currently, the nerdiest thing in my room is a Kof 13 poster I got at a play test, but I also have a ton of commissioned art work of comic characters I want to frame and hang up. I wonder if that would be as big a turn off as this anime stuff (I'm still gonna do it regardless).

Which is why Grandma's Boy is better.

But right now, we're on the subject of age, not accepting yourself.

I think the people in this thread criticizing those people are only referring to romantic interests. Because you know, having friends or roommates doesn't count for some reason.

Well...yeah. The waifu thing is clearly meant to be a substitute for romantic pursuits, so friends don't really matter in the context of the conversation.

This too.
 
All I have in my room are 3 Portrait Of Pirates One Piece figures and shelves full of mangas/animes. I'm jealous of Cajun's (well, there wouldn't be cute girls in mine but y'know...).
 
I browse gaf a bunch. Watch anime sports TV movies play games, yet still hang out with friends when free and go to the gym.

But now that I work full time. Things feel pretty busy lol. Might have to drop some stuff :(
