Finding another hobby than anime might be a start...
I probably enjoy lots of pics others might find "degrading" but I have to admit that I find those anime babes fairly disgusting.

lol, that was entertaining reading and definitely a topic I've thought about before. Thanks for that.

Yeah, there's definitely a difference between fantasy and reality. Anime can sometimes be like the version of romance novels for guys, especially certain genres.
In reality, I'm just into whatever I find attractive. Of course real girls aren't going to be perfect like (some) anime girls.

(Haruhi's "terrible morning breath" made me lol)

I like the picture. I think every guy would appreciate this, though. 



This would also be cool to see- dressing up like my favorite anime girl.

Sick. Disgusting. If you keep thinking like this I'm afraid you will be staying single the rest of your life.

Artists have drawn that stuff. Has your sexuality been defined by fun meant drawings of some artists?

I guess I can spare everyone the long essay I was planning to write. I ended up messaging the girl I contacted back in September (the one I had asked out a few years ago) who people like snyprrr told me "don't listen to girl advice," etc. not sure if anyone remembers...

She ended up asking about the new cute blonde girl. I told her she's kinda the same way- just seems like a one-dimensional party girl, and she said I can do better because she thinks the girl's tattoos are lame.  Then we had an interesting discussion of tattoos and such.

I might end up getting a couple of tattoos when I move out (nothing too much, because that can look ugly). The only one I have in mind, now, though is the cover of Meshuggah's Catch 33:

I have too many hobbies already... 

I probably enjoy lots of pics others might find "degrading" but I have to admit that I find those anime babes fairly disgusting.

Well, everyone has different tastes.

[ibanezmonster]

That was rather rude, Henk. I like stuff like that because it appears very feminine and cute to me.

If you think that anime girls are better than real girls you have a big problem. That's pretty sick and disgusting. I love those manga drawings, but I realize those are just drawings. You get fantasies by it, that's not a good thing I think, playing those games, it controls your sexuality. "Final fantasy", it's already in the name. Let it not be final, Greg.

Totally weird.

[ibanezmonster]

Totally weird.

So you like more masculine women?

Some of the characters can be the equivalent of male characters in romance novels. I'm not against that, either, even if they're totally fictional. I don't think it's an issue for anyone. It's just a fantasy, that's all.

I like sweet girls as well, but that anime picture doesn't give me any impression of that at all.

Please explain, then we may get some understanding.

Basically what that was the whole point of the article Rinaldo posted. They intentionally try to make you fall in love with some characters, and part of the way they do that is by never showing their major flaws and turnoffs. Which is okay.

Really?

[ibanezmonster]

Really?

I forgot I was talking to the king of Anti-Romaticism here. I like to daydream about ideal stuff and it doesn't ruin the real stuff for me, so it's all good. If it does for you, I guess do or don't do whatever you gotta do.

It doesn't for me. I have my own fantasies. I am not ruined by fantasies created by others, you are I think.

Oh, I take other's ideas and manipulate them in my own way.

Didn't you have some long rant about how much you didn't like Romanticism a year or two ago? Seems like this could relate, but idk, my memory may be off.

I daydream of things that actually can happen. Again, Greg, I strongly advice you to stop doing things like this. Really not healthy imo. Go in therapy.

You're so silly.

Can't remember. I also don't understand exactly how it can relate. Can you give me some more information? Curious about it, I want to know my own past, something I'm working on lately. So if you can help, that would be nice.

[Henk]

Or I don't understand you as you don't make yourself clear.. and say rather dumb stuff.

I only have a vague memory of it. Something to do with "Romanticism can conjure up images of ideal realities which aren't healthy to the mind" or something like that. Sorry, don't remember much more than that.

I think it's silly because there are so many people that find anime characters appealing. If everyone that did went to therapy, there'd probably be a couple million in this country alone. Same goes for girls, too. If you ever go to youtube and read through the comments section on Hetalia Axis Powers, it's nothing but fangirls drooling over male characters on every single episode. Hell, if I were a girl, Yuusuke (the middle black-haired guy in my avatar) would be my man crush just because he's a totally awesome character. I'm sure there's probably even a couple guys here who are into anime and find some of the girls attractive.

You can go over the line, of course. When you completely refuse real girls in favor of being only with a pretend wife, then that's just dumb.
