Otaku have consistently been amongst the least popular men for Japanese women, but at least a few have kind words for them, praising their “conscientious” nature and inability to cheat on all but 2D girls…
According to some of the girls dating them, otaku boyfriends are honest, faithful and gentlemanly – more so than men at large, at least.
Most of all, they are said to be unlikely to be unfaithful, unless of course 2D girls are included in the equation.
One otaku girlfriend explains:
“Who cares about 2D? If it’s not a real human, it’s fine – I’d actually be grateful for him cheating with a girl in a game like that…”
Dubious praise indeed… Of course, not all such partners are so forgiving of 2D girls competing for their affections.

Its rather odd that 2D affairs can be considered by some Japanese women as real affairs. Still dubious praise is better than none at all.
Many of the comments below that article are quite negative though so be warned. This is my favourite: "オタク逃げてぇええええええ！" "Otaku, run awaaaaaay!" Probably not a good idea brag about being an otaku and expect Japanese women to flock to you.
Which women were interviewed for this I wonder? And what are their names, mail addresses and are they hot?
I'm a woman. I'm a hardcore fujoshi and my favourite eroge is Rapelay. If I ever get a boyfriend who likes anime, we'll play eroges together.
<3 from me and my hand^Wwaifu.
*waves back together with hand^husbando*
Ah the irony...
Yeah, as an otaku, I would treat my girlfriend in the kind of romantic way that's lifted from fairytales, be devoted, never cheat, give her my all, etc.
But in return, she would have to deserve it and not be scheming, conniving, trying to trade up to another guy, materialistic, and so on.
To sum it up... I'm single, lol
You seem like a nice guy, I think you only need to go out there and meet a ton of girls. Only by knowing them (and them knowing you) you'll find a nice girl.
Of course if you always go for the too pretty/slutty ones they most probably aren't great to have around (high maintenance too) in the long term.
It's not like most girls even care if you watch porn. (unless you get a psycho girlfriend) I wouldn't care if my girl read PlayGirl.
Excellent view. Why can't all girls think like this.
Ah, finally... A(nother) girl who doesn't mind 2D polygamy.. :3
My man wouldn't be interested in 2D if it wasn't for me. We play the same eroge and compare route progress. It's fun.
I should move to japan, find a girlfriend who accepts me as otaku and constantly cheat on her. she'd never see it comming.
Thats too much im sorry... i love my anime but c'mon seriously lol
The girl who doesn't mind her boyfriend checking out 2D girls must be thinking that as long as he sates his sexual needs on the 2D girls, she can just take his money, look pretty on his arm at conventions, restaurants, and in front of their friends & family, and call it a day. She gets the desired benefit of having a man without having the screw him as he only faps to 2D
What an assumption. They could have a great sex life for all you know.
Yes, but he could be right in some cases. Majority of the female population despise otaku so it is very unlikely for such case to occur although it is also possible for such relationships to be successful.
I'll just simply say...
What if girls (Female Otaku to be specific) were to cheat on their rl boyfriends and go for the 2d?
If that were to happen, as a man, it won't affect me much, right?; therefore i'll simply say, "go for it if it makes you happy"
So it would be the same for those girls dating the otaku boyfriends
Or at least it should be...
Have you met women? lol
Yeah, it's the same old story. Girls always say they want a nice guy, someone who's going to be loyal, but what they really want is a guy who will be dominant, take the lead. It's the damn truth.
It's not always like this.
You gotta take for a fact that, not all girls are the same. It's true that most girls would say "I want a nice guy", but not all girls want a dominant man.
The preferences of women can be quite difficult at times...
I say balls to that. They're all like that, even if they don't seem that way. And if they aren't, they're the type hunting for a submissive man they can keep under their thumb.
Sometimes I wish I'd been born gay.
well when i said women don't know what they want it seems i was right,thus there are many sad women these days that feel lonely,empty these days,especialy single women,the problem is when they become angry and go feminist.
Anyway my cousin said to me(not gonna say all other things just this one).
He had a women that was like that.It wasn't good when he was away from here at work and not good when he was with her.Conclusion,she doesn't know what she wants and expects you to solve the problem,fill that emptyness of her.
This is where he should come to here and bring authorithy over here and then do something together what ever they will do,but he needs to tell her they will do that.
Oh well wanted to keep it short.
well anon i will agree with you.Shure they want a dominant man,but it's more like a man with a functional authorithy.
It goes like this,the man has authority over his women,the women must submit to his authorithy for the relationship to work,but he needs to bring order,principles,authorithy into her life and needs to fullfill her needs and his needs,but mans needs are top priority,she also has to fullfil his needs.But when authorithy endageres her life it is a wrong authorithy and the women should not follow it.
Since there are too many things to write,i rather preffer you to go to this site,read the ebook check the forums:
http://www.manhood101.com/
Girls say there are no real men left anymore,but actualy it's lack of manhood in a man.
And then women get these nice guys,pussified manginas and get bored of them and cheat on them,why do you think most women cheat these days.
But let me just say how many people like that i have seen,even with my mom and her so called friends.
We can blame women and feminist for changing men,men
who weren't raised with manhood and men being ignorant about their lifes.
I am a part of that pussified mangina,but now i am trying to change myself since i read most of the ebook,checked the forums.I will say even women who read the book agree with the ebook.
This is exactly my way of thinking, I would never cheat on my girlfriend, unless...to say Haruhi were to arrive then she's pretty much screwed. GOODBYE!!!
I'll be sure to let her know that...
Yea the girls' reaction would most probably be "He likes 2D more" rather than "He's cheating on me". What's really wrong if he likes 2D? Just get over it
I applaud this social trend, having bagged my own otaku gf already.
Is cheating really such a major issue in Japan or are these women just overly obsessed with the idea he might cheat?
Perhaps a guilty conscience? There was that poll that showed that Japanese women cheat more than men. Or they had been cheated on in the past.
allow me to copypaste

kgptzac you are right
all is true
What is 邪魔者化?
Something like "becomes a pain in the arse"
失敗 from ３次元 should lead to ２次元
most Otaku are lucky to get ONE real girlfriend
Alot of women are too superficial to compromise in this manner simply to achieve "faithfulness" though...(most men will just settle for a warm body, as sad as that sounds).
"... otaku boyfriends are honest, faithful and gentlemanly."
Yeah, that's me.
Except the boyfriend part. XD
People who spend their whole live fapping to 2d girls and never having real sex have issues
What about those of us who do both? o.o;;
Everyone has issues.
So that argument fails.
^ This anon is right.
Woah, dating an otaku? Isn't it an unwritten law that they will start an harem as soon as anyone dates them? Oh wait,
http://img398.imageshack.us/img398/7912/mindfuck00001.jpg
i think that's funny..
now i see a problem. do most of them realize that they are "dating" a 2d that someone else is?
hehe
"According to some of the girls dating them, otaku boyfriends are honest, faithful and gentlemanly – more so than men at large, at least."
I am assuming that's what happens when you have one social connection(let alone a gf) all the good qualities that would be unevenly distributed among several/many friends are shown to just one person.
However the opposite should be true of showing said person all your bad qualities that would otherwise be divvied up.
Glad to see there's still some hope.
otaku girls are the ones that might get super jealous... but otaku guys would get jealous of her cheating with 2d guys... and so the cycle continues
"but otaku guys would get jealous of her cheating with 2d guys"
Based on what, exactly? Has there ever been a single instance of this? ever? Short answer: no. Long answer: nooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
Does that include live action porn? it would fall under the 3D guy category; would you stop her from masturbating with it?
I'm a guy and I don't really care if women masturbate to a 2D guys, but if it was a 3D guy then there will be blood.
Hope for what?
That when they're tired of living the life and when they're older they latch onto you. Say good bye to the figurine, games, doujins fund. Imagine those obsessive buy fans, instead of ten of those Strike Witches bloomer bags only three, or those obsessive fifty cds have only twenty of the cd. Like thanksgiving without the turkey.
Otakus are their consolation prize.
You'd be lucky to get one let alone three or twenty.
“Who cares about 2D? If it’s not a real human, it’s fine – I’d actually be grateful for him cheating with a girl in a game like that…”
They're just envious.
Wow even when the women admit not caring whether the OTAKU boyfriend is cheating on her with a FAKE girl you people still have shit to say about them. That's just sad. Oh yeah pretty pathetic as well.
It's ok, they won't reproduce and pass on their genes.
You're all wrong. The real problem is monogamy. There's no reason why I can't love different girls equally.
There's enough love for me to spread around, baby.
I've been in a relationship where monogomy wasn't an issue it hurts when all your partner wants is more so stfu PIG
I have to say a big bravo to the girl who made that comment. Finally a girl not full with stupid jealousy that has a problem with drawings.
I'm still looking for someone that'd say that to me ...
can u fuck 2D?
WTF!? Of course you can.
That, or they've never heard of the (near-) divorce Love Plus fiascos.
Well that is an exception.... what guy would prefer a game for a gal?
There are always few psycho woman out there who will act like this...
is an appropriate way for a girl to say,
"I fap with that game too."
Fix'd.
Girls don't fap, they schlick.
so its actaully the 2D girl cheating with both of them?
He could be fapping her boyfriend for all you know, lol.
A girl. Fapping. Creepy. x-X
not few - meny
but i dont understand how normal man can excange real woman to 2D and had
thats just not right
Just because you don't understand it, doesn't make it wrong.
In fact, she seems to be the most sane woman in Japan. Why the hell would it matter if he/she spends time playing a 2D dating game. It's 2D, it's not real!
"I’d actually be grateful for him cheating with a girl in a game like that…"
is an appropriate way for a girl to say,
"I like that game too."
It's called self-esteem.
Or rather a lack thereof.
Confident men realize their worth, and are more prone to investigating other options if they present themselves. Insecure men tend to hold onto what they have with fervor.
Also, confidence makes people assholes! :-P
That's an ironically broad yet parochial generalization. The result of how much, or how little, self-esteem one has depends on what that person sees to be his or her own self-image or aspirations thereof. A man with high self-esteem who does not see any worthwhile value in an exclusive relationship will likely be quite the moonlighting playboy. A man with high self-esteem who prides himself in being loyal and reliable would make a devoted significant other. The respective results are usually inverted for people with low self-esteem.
When life throws you a lemon, go make some lemonade.
But unless life also throws you some sugar you're gonna end up with crappy lemonade.
It doesn't really matter if you don't have water. How would you mix it all up? Otherwise its gonna need a lot of sugar and still taste crappy.
When life throws you a lemon, and you don't have anything else, you pretend it's hentai fanfiction.
Touche
I prefer to find someone who has life giving them vodka, and throw a party.
Wrong! You eat it with fish and chips!
No, you EAT YOUR GODDAMN LEMON.
no, you ask for more lemon
