and don't throw all the blaming on someone else, what i have seen in this massive amount of comment is you all just trying to throw all this matter to someone else.
why can't any of tries to think and give comment on others point of views. Why does otaku exist? Because people who look down on someone who love animes exist, they say that having a hobby such as that is disgusting.
Isn't that going to make theme more desperate and leading them to otaku's life??

"because 3D woman just going after a guy with wealth" well i don't blame them, that because you guys didn't choose carefully. If you guys know that she is a money sucking ***** well, just dump her, leave her and search for someone better.

and for the ladies, if your BF is going into 2D girls, well then, that's means there are something about you girls that you a lack, why don't you all sit down and try to reflect yourself.

well i don't mean to scold you all. I just want to shares some of my opinion. So no hard feelings, okay. . .?? Peace!!

I have to agree, you just can't compete with a 2D character, they're just too perfect. Not that it matters, they can't get the 2D character anyways. Also, even married men have an ideal girl that they can never get their hands on, its nothing new.

I know what it's like. Though it is not depression I have my lot of issues, and after the 5th specialist and being so tired of uselessly trying so hard to behave myself I nearly killed myself, I just gave up any treatment and went for the best I could get while keeping my issues as is.

Sure. I call that fake.

Now in the unlikely event this story is based on truth, I can infer two possible explanations:

- It is probable that all you do for him is some kind of compensation for giving him crap on various occasions. I had a girlfriend like that: would do wonders for me because she realized she was often just plain mean and hurtful to me. I tried to handle it, because, well, she always did make up for it. Bottomline, I didn't really want all these make-up niceties, what I wanted is for her to stop giving me crap.

- The guy might just simply be mentally incapable of appreciating 3D love. Though formulated differently it is a common symptom of depression, for instance: life too stressful, everything too complex, cannot cope with the complexities of real persons and the responsibilities we have to them. Good news: depression can be very effectively treated by specialists.

2D do not give anyone crap for that. That's fact.

> there is no such thing as a FICTIONAL language
Klingon, Sindarin, Quenya? Think about what you write, dammit.

But still... Yes. I try to sound less like a whiner than most here, when I state less-than-ideal facts.

I've never figured out what best to tell these girls when they come counseling. Hell, if they cannot fall for any other kind of guy and dating these end up hurting them more than whatever pleasure they got was worth, they might as well stop dating altogether.

I agree about your point, though. Above post didn't have one.

Now many would read the very numerous aspects in which women may lack in perfection, as 'flaws.' Remember, men's flaws, and otakus' flaws, are completely irrelevant to the discussion.

So in the end it feels like we discuss women's flaws and nothing else.

They're confused about what it means falling for an idol and think it's the same thing as falling for the next girl, except the next girl is an idol. They think they're within reach and they will answer when talked to, and that the idol's real personality is way worse than theirs. So they can compete with this.

They don't understand it is basically the same as falling for a 2D, except the graphics are pictures and movies, and the idol rarely reads a romance script.

You can state your clichés as much as you want, that won't make you look like you hold the truth.

Those who know better, well, know better.

Those who don't know better will think you're smart because you stated what they were thinking. So hey, you'll look smart indeed, to people with which it may pay up no less. But you're still the failing one.
