Did someone say glasses? Glasses are really versatile. First, you can have glasses-wearing girls take them off and suddenly become beautiful, or have girls wearing glasses flashing those cute grins, or have girls stealing the protagonist's glasses and putting them on like, "Haha, got your glasses!' That's just way too cute! Also, boys with glasses! I really like when their glasses have that suspicious looking gleam, and it's amazing how it can look really cool or just be a joke. I really like how it can fulfill all those abstract needs. Being able to switch up the styles and colors of glasses based on your mood is a lot of fun too! It's actually so much fun! You have those half rim glasses, or the thick frame glasses, everything! It's like you're enjoying all these kinds of glasses at a buffet. I really want Luna to try some on or Marine to try some on to replace her eyepatch. We really need glasses to become a thing in hololive and start selling them for HoloComi. Don't. You. Think. We. Really. Need. To. Officially. Give. Everyone. Glasses?

I suspect the majority of otakus/anime fans still have a certain shame for their hobby. The dudes who do cosplay at the anime conventions are likely still the minority, but this is the impression in which most people have of anime fans (loosely interchangeable with otakus). That said, preferring a normal car is not the equivalent to having shame for the hobby of owning an otaku car. Some people just want to opt for the more sustainable option that is owning a normal car. I think it's fine if this person is well-off and can afford to purchase 2 or 3 cars all by him/herself.

That's how it is in Japan. But I have to point out that when they mention with glasses like that, they actually meant that really geek looking glasses with bad hair with lower than average looks, too skinny/fat and foul body odor. Not your average glasses guy with kept hair and usually polo shirt (this is also could be considered an otaku appearance but the public views this as some of a dad or some CEO of a company who went to a golf session).

Something people need to realize is there will always be exceptions. Humans love seeing things in black&white, & they dont realize there's always the possibility of being an exception. I knew girls who said they'd never date anime fans, until they came across an anime fan who was cool & had a great personality. It's not the anime-watching that turns alot of girls off, it just so happens that ALOT of "weebs" are just awkward weirdos--and THAT'S what turns people off. There's a good amount of "weebs" who have healthy social lives, are good-looking, etc, and these are the weebs who I always see in relationships. So if you're a weeb having love troubles, there's hope, but at the same time, be honest with yourself & ask "is it my anime hobby that's turning people off, or something else? "

I think that's only the literal meaning, not the whole meaning: Implied meaning from these ladies is: "The man's behaviour is suggesting to me that he prefers a lot of his time (excessively so) to "play" instead of "working hard to achieve goals via PRODUCTIVE use of time". Now again assumption is that these woman are not time-wasting because their biological clock ticks fast, they must be serious in their choices: They think there is a difference between a hobby you do for PART of your leisure time vs a hobby that one spends ALL their leisure time doing. Thus suggests they are seeking men who have a range of interests that are compatible with the woman's potential goals - for one very trite example: What is the lady going to say to her female peer group about her new romantic partner that will impress them? He could be interested in this Otaku stuff but also be productive in other areas because they don't spend all their time on one thing. I think perhaps one of the potential negatives of Otaku is some sort of perception that it is juvenile or else passive consumption instead of demonstrating a work ethic that also translates into success in other areas of life eg workplace or social life or competitive fields or creative fields? I do not disprove what you say, but merely try to see it from the "eyes of the ladies" who have choice preferences that are more strongly slanted away from Otaku Sub Culture. I would say I am fairly interested in a lot of things and the creativity in anime/manga is wonderful but I would draw the line considering one of those extreme cars (extreme identification) or a huge collection (hoarding) for example of sympathetic agreement. The good thing is that if someone has their sub-culture and it is fulfilling they are in a position to find someone who IS compatible with their chosen life style over someone who is clearly not.

@@merryniru Yes it's as you say in this example: It ALL depends on the parameters. I agree with you 100%: One of the VERY best things humans can spend their (limited!) time doing is: CREATIVITY! However, what I'm trying to parse here via hints and variable context scenarios (ie different parameters) and indirect indications is: Where do these ladies draw-the-line? 1. It depends on personal experience: Tolerance may be higher or lower depending on previous experience. Thus it's not right to judge people who have a low tolerance for their personal reasons. Or else if they are older they have through experience narrowed the "pool" to their more clear preferences. In this case a definite "NO." saves everybody from pain or disappointment thus you can interpret it as practically good even if you think it is "narrow minded". 2. The ladies who were open to the suggest first of all abstracted "Any hobby could be more or less fine so this must also apply to Anime/Manga or Otaku-Sub-Culture. They went with it. But as the questions increased information, they adopted different lines beyond they also ended up saying No. Eg that car-thing or collecting/hoarding behaviour. Collecting could be fine as said if presented like a Museum - but hoarding can indicate a pathology too of the mind. Equally Otaku could be "arrested development" thus reducing potential success of a relationship. I think therefore the spectrum of response is honest and complex ie shades of grey. Those who first of all say No may give explicit reasons "It disgusts me!" which anyone could interpret as "predjudice" but bear in mind even those are honest responses for the benefit of the person saying this: They may have good reasons for feeling this way as they also struggle to find a romantic partner while they cannot afford to lose time doing so!

I think she literally meant that there wouldn't be enough space for it, or it would be too ugly (to her) to be attractively placed in the house. I noted that they care about presentation, like the one woman saying she was fine with a manga collection if it was neatly organized. Maybe because of smaller houses and less clutter. I was surprised how much these women thought of the practicality of living together. A western woman would think 'is this quality attractive or at least acceptable to me as a personal trait' but the Japanese women considered how it would affect their lifestyle or ability to have something to talk about, and they were very honest about whether a trait would be socially embarassing. Some seemed to like a guy with a hobby because it would give them more time to spend doing their own thing, which as an introvert I really identify with. I like a guy who can entertain himself!

@commentarytalk14462 жыл бұрын
I think that is a superficial analysis of people. 1) General question which is applicable: ANY hobby can be fine for ANY romantic/relationship partner. This is not asked but it is IMPLICIT. Some ladies understand this thus are pacific in their replies as well reasonable in their thinking. I'm always impressed with Japanese ladies = how they can behave considerately and intelligently - so often and in such high frequency of different people. 2) Specific question concerning Otaku Culture: This might not fit the lifestyle or aspirations a woman has in her partners. What possible reasons could be so? The women all universally whether agree or disagree with 1) don't mention specific reasons but give general life style differences to this. The women who agree: They say I could see myself accommodating IN PRINCIPLE. The women who disagree: They don't specify but I think there's good reasons why they would not: 2) a) The culture might be seen as juvenile and the woman wants a man who is mature eg given: The man should invest time in productive contribution to the relationship if the time invested in Otaku is so large b) The identity of the Otaku might be so extremely involved in Otaku which could be too alienating for the woman who has more conventional taste in lifestyle. c) There could be many examples of negative characteristics the woman has seen of Otaku that she wishes to avoid so makes a rule of thumb choice about avoiding this relationship scenario. 3) The women who elaborated via 2) but still agreed IN PRINCIPLE provide useful insights: They don't want it to be selfish or obsessive or destructive or lacking in growth. For exampl compromises such as "We could have conversational topics about it" or "if it provides time for me to do my own hobbies that is fine" or "I would not wish it to be hidden from me" etc. Personally I think it comes down to SUB-CULTURES and peoples' search for SELF-IDENTITY and acknowledgement/acceptance and recognition of self and others to share with each other. That is a wonderful thing for people that is needed and sub-cultures can make for strong group bonds. However, I think over-identifying in ONE NARROW area of life runs the risk of reducing adaptability and growth of self in other areas. I would guess a woman would want to see a potential Significant Other (SO) as someone who expresses those qualities of adaptation and growth so they can build a life together and continually renew their interest in each other over a long period of time under conditions where they build and progress through life successfully. The hesitation with sub-cultures is therefore questioning if this will reduce the likelihood of realizing this wider integration into more aspects of life, I would guess.

The last 2 ladies' opinions made me realise - why do the ladies want to restrict / why can't the men do what they love while still being in the relationship? It's weird that the ladies can't compromise with the men's hobbies of being a Weeb/otaku/anime/cosplay lover. To me, I love my man for his personality. If he has his hobbies (aside from being a drug dealer/illegal stuff), that's actually a good thing even if it's different from mine. We can share each other's hobby. I never loved running till I met my ex boyfriend. He changed my life for the better and now I run every day and is on track to becoming a better athlete =)

It sounds like they are compromising. Most of them said 'It's fine as long as it's not too much or too public.' They're not getting into the relationship and then changing the men, they're choosing men based on their own preferences. Never try to change someone, and don't date someone if you have issues with how they are.

Who knows if they really are. Keep in mind that there is a sub-group in Japan called sôshoku otoko, which translates into herbivour men. These men have sworn absence to any kind of physical relationship with women. If japanese women were really that forgiving then you would have to wonder why more and more men in that country become abstinent. Another aspect to take into account is image. Japanese people in general are very careful about keeping face and not leave a bad imagine of themselves. And since japanese are said to be very good at reading the atmosphere it is very likely that they simply answered how they are supposed to under these circumstances to protect their image. Not just japanese but people generally have a tendency to not answer surverys truthfully and rather answer how they think they should to protect their imagine. Which makes it difficult to discern how many of these people acutally mean what they say. Think of it this way. How often have you heard women say that they don't care about your looks or your money and that you just have to be yourself? And how many times did you believe they were honest? Or did you often think they only said this because they didn't want to be perceived as shallow and superficial? It's the same with japanese girls. They aren't that much different from other girls but because of how they are portrayed in public and popular media many people want to believe that they are different. More pure and more innocent. You are free to believe they are of course, and maybe they are. But I would be careful with these kind of assumptions as it makes it easy for japanese women to abuse you. Sorry for the long post

There is only one problem with that. They often aren't too interested in dating foreigners and can't speak a word of English. I guess your best shot is to have a circle of friends that are in that scene and find someone from that group. Although I have to warn you, many many otakus go through a phase in their teens and grow out of it. So someone being an otaku is very very likely underage. Just keep that in mind if you consider picking up girls. Also girls in school uniforms always underage and off limits unless you want trouble.

Watching educational programs on TV can provide way more knowledge than some books. So... to you, only reading certain books is a hobby, while reading just-for-fun books is not a hobby?

Funny to see their answers to the specific levels of degeneracy. ^^, It makes sense: if they're into anime themselves they would probably like to have a shared hobby. Most casual anime fans are probably in that area. If someone is a full on weeb with large collections, they're probably spending a LOT of time and money on it and would have to at least find someone like-minded to make it work out. Someone who is not into anime and would thus have to "tolerate" the hobby would probably not get along well with an anime fan, since it's likely to be quite time-consuming and low status (compared to e.g. a musician).

It's not all true. Yuta, like all people, has selection bias. The people that select him and the people that he selects for interviews will tend to be the type of people he likes, who in turn will often be the type of people we like. People who may have something negative to say may not want to be interviewed at all. He did a video on this.

@naejimba2 жыл бұрын
Not a weeb, but these people need to understand that things like anime and video games from Japan made our childhoods fucking magical. As much as they love their culture and take pride in it, for westerners these things are what get people interested in learning about their culture, traditions, language, and food. These "embarrassing hobbies" most of them look down on did more for spreading ideas from Japan than anything else. Sure, some weebs make me cringe a little, but it makes them happy and brings joy to their life. I'm much more worried about that than how you appear to others.

I totally understand some of the women who were against dating a weeb/otaku, but that one woman with the puffy sleeves just seems way too controlling, basically saying "I don't like it you cannot have this hobby". Honestly that mindset doesn't make anyone look good.

Guys, you don't need woman to be happy. Follow your passions and hobbies and build your career. Have fun and make loads of friends. Not the typical work friends or casual friends. I mean actual similar hobbies irl friends that you enjoy spending time with. Relationships should be the outcome of living a great life. Not something you should consistently bend over backwards for.

It's not about being open-minded: They have a biological clock ticking and they can't mess around with something they've decided or experienced is likely going to not work. They also probably see themselves as woman and not girls any more and interested in "mature" men (resources, status, confidence, experience etc).

It's interesting how "weeb" has morphed to just mean "otaku" or "anime nerd". It used to refer specifically to Westerners who are overly obsessed with Japan to the point that they believe the country is perfect and start to behave as if they are Japanese despite in most cases never having gone there, and they are ALSO otaku, as that's usually how they got into Japan as an interest. Here, Yuta is asking them about otaku in general so the girls are thinking about domestic otaku.

Is there any proof they speak from their heart and not just acting polite? Uno if someone approaches me with mic and cam and starts firing unconvinient questions like for example "Will you marry a feminist-activist gal?" I would probably also get shy and say something broad while deep in heart the answer is "I rather die alone". So just looking how shy they are i doubt it is precise while you are also asking questions that doubt their tolerance, politeness and open-mindness. That means they need to have some balls to reply "I hate weebs" if they really do. And keeping in mind how japanese like to evade the answers at all costs I think maybe makes more sense to know the answer by asking them in the internet where its more comfortable for anyone to speak their opinion without any social and identity pressure
