For some Japanese women at least, not only is having a boyfriend fall for a 2D character considered cheating, it is regarded as being worse than having an affair with a real woman or going with a prostitute.
Several Japanese ladies in their thirties were interviewed about their thoughts on the matter:
“If my boyfriend fell for a 2D girl it would be absolutely gross.”
“If he went with 2D I’d really feel there’s a problem with me, as a real woman.”
“I’d be totally shocked. I think I’d think the problem was with me and I was lacking something. It’s just like a man with a girlfriend pursuing a fake romance with a hostess or going with a prostitute, isn’t it?”
“If he is going to fall for someone else, at least make it an idol. You just can’t compete against a 2D character.”
Possibly deep seated insecurities about competing with 2D girls are one of the reasons Japanese women despise otaku so completely.
Hmm. . .there’s only one thing i can say. . .please. . .don’t mix up 2D with 3D. . .both have their advantages and disadvantages. . can’t you all just accept and agree with that.
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!!
“If he is going to fall for someone else, at least make it an idol. You just can’t compete against a 2D character.”
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 feel sorry for those women if that happens to them. :\ Men are so picky. Well, a guy who thinks they’re too good for 3D women usually has the personality and body type that I don’t care for anyway. It’s a win-win, isn’t it?
Lol.
i’ve had a huge crush on a 2D guy before. i actually prefer when my bf looks at 2D than 3D
