The question is, why not embrace it? Manliness is admitting to yourself what you really are and not being afraid of it. Why force yourself to like 3D if it will simply dissatisfy you in the end because you actually love 2D?

It'll be better to embrace it.

>>70017 >>70020 I feel like I would waste my whole life if I don't marry a real girl, or at least lose my virginity… but at the same time, I never felt a longing to do any of those things. My heart aches to bond with someone who isn't real, and it's scary to imagine myself being so different from everyone else. It's funny how I use to make fun of people for having waifus but now I'm the one wanting one. Turns out I was in denial this whole time. Now I feel like an idiot. So how am I supposed to start "embracing" this part of me?

>>70022 And people, both friends and bullies, would make fun of me because, as a man, I never seemed to have a strong sex drive for women. But it turns out that I love anime girls so intensely.

>>70015 >>70022 I know exactly how are you feeling. I used to laugh at waifufags too. I always thought that they cope with loving a fictional character because they can't be with real girls although they really want to. But after experiencing this on myself, I realized how wrong I was. You can feel actual and real love for someone who doesn't exists. After accidentally finding my one and only waifu I have lost interest in real women and every single day I think only about her. No woman could ever be as perfect as she is to me. I'm unable to love anyone else. I live with hope that maybe one day through some advanced technology or something else I'll finally unite with her. >So how am I supposed to start "embracing" this part of me? Well, I know that I will never love a real girl as much as I love my waifu. I sort of embraced it by accepting that. Now I want to become the best version of myself for her. I also talk to pictures of her, especially at night and imagine her being with me in my daily life. >>70024 Do you think that they really care that much? You can always tell them that you simply prefer living on your own and relationship, sex and all that suff just isn't fun to you.

>>70025 So is it like, uh, meditation? By using pictures and objects you're able to use the power of your mind to be in touch with her? I'm still too shy to reveal who I think my waifu is, but I'm always thinking about her radiant, golden eyes. Confident, fierce, but still gentle; it's like two gorgeous amber stones.

>>70026 >So is it like, uh, meditation? I wouldn't call it a meditation. It doesn't take much effort for me. I just lay in my bed and talk to her. And imagining her by my side during my daily life comes naturally as I almost always think about her. And it's not like I think she's there but it's more like "I wish she was here". >By using pictures and objects you're able to use the power of your mind to be in touch with her? It always makes me feel very comfortable when I talk to pictures of her at night. I'm fully aware that she doesn't exist. But she's still a bit real to me because she makes me feel emotions that no one else ever did. >I'm still too shy to reveal who I think my waifu is But can you tell us how long are you in love with her? Do you think it's real love or infatuation?

>>70027 I honestly don't know whether it's real love or not. It's one of the reasons why I have been scared to be in a relationship is because I don't think I could actually be faithful. I guess I just recently met her but I feel so stricken by her and I'm just obsessing over her. She's a beautiful but very capable warrior who has pretty much slain dragons and tyrants while also having a gentle side to her. But I feel like she's way outta my league, even though I'm obsessed about her. I get very nervous at the prospect of trying to talk to her, because I don't know if she would like someone as weak as me. I know that's she not a bad person, but how am I suppose to compete with other stronger, more badass men?

>>70015 >I feel like a fucking freak because I have such longings for someone that's not real. I was in your exact same situation when I started, and I still feel like that at times. But remember, you may be a weirdo but there's people far worst than you in terms of batshit I hope and when you think about it, its not really that uncommon, people falling in love or developing crushes on fictional characters were always a thing. It's up to you to embrace it or not, as for how, I dunno it works differently for everyone, you should start by making peace with yourself and your situation, stop worrying about why you prefer 2D over 3D or if its normal, and of course its not, deal with it. Who knows, it may even be just a phase. >>70029 >I have been scared to be in a relationship is because I don't think I could actually be faithful. I guess I just recently met her From what I'm reading seems like what stops you from accepting your feelings is that you'll miss life experiences like sex or having a family, which is understandable. There's nothing you can do about it once you're committed, if you don't feel like doing that, then don't be a waifufag. Besides those love feelings you describe are basically new, give it time and see if it fades. tldr just dont be a fag and take your time to process everything.

>>70029 it literally can not be because you can not actually interact and build a relationship with her

>>70984 Neither can you with a real woman.

>>70983 >>70984 Do you realise you necroposted in a 3 year old thread? This board barely gets any activity, possibly because it's just meant to be an intermediate place for the local Discord

>>70988 >This board barely gets any activity, possibly because it's just meant to be an intermediate place for the local Discord Our board is not just meant to be an entry door for our Discord server, but I can't deny that it is one of it's main functions. All new (respectful) activity on the board (be it new threads or replies to old posts) are always welcome. We have new threads every once in a while and it always feels good to see a new wave of activity here, even if it's temporary. Speaking of that, I guess I should do a new thread in the near future...
