Speaking of that, have you guys ever heard of Herbivore Men?

I did some research on Japanese reproductive rates for a college product not too long ago, and thanks to things like ecchi, H, H-games, and most importantly H-merchandise and Virtual Girlfriends, a staggering amount of guys don't even have an interest in sex (and, conversely, quite a few girls have no interest in the guys). There are other reasons as well, but it does play a big part.

I call it the Kirino effect, minus the punching.

I think most people that say things like that would jump at the chance of having a real relationship if somebody was interested. They just don't have the confidence to put themselves out there. Of course that isn't everyone but I don't think human nature is that easy to relegate.

Of course 3d is pd and mai waifu is pure and perfect.

Yeah, I would agree. Waifus are freely available and don't require much, not even social ability. They're easy, and they don't require effort.

Though I also think there is a legitimacy to it. I mean, anime-styled women are also idealized so even the ones considered "mediocre" by that universe's terms are generally attractive and physically flawless, so it does build this sort of model for what one might want in woman and sort of detach one from reality.

Though I should probably stop delving into this. Save for the whole "waifu" deal, I'm basically a herbivore :/

Whatchu look for in a person.

For me other than the cliche "good" qualities everyone blathers about in these topics, it has to be that they are knowledgable about the nerdy stuff I like. My interests are highly niche and specific. Though quite in depth for such topics. (It should be obvious as to which for those who know me.)

Its mostly because of the need for conversation starters and interest convergence. Also because other issue areas bore or do not interest me. I mean yeah I could fake it with shallow easy to look up information for the sake of social propriety, but really why bother building relationships on such weak foundations?
 
95

Oh boy.

Having loads of similar, "nerdy" interests (or perceived similar interests, for that matter) isn't as important to me as I thought it'd be. Someone who's fun to be around (if you're having fun you'll most likely find it much easier to spark a conversation, anyway) and is fairly knowledgeable about things in general is much more attractive to me. (Author's comment: Women who read a lot are wonderful to talk to.)

People with more "nerdy" interests generally seem to be more difficult to talk to, conversely. Not all of course, but a lot of people I know. Not only because they tend to be shy and a bit awkward (and noticeably self-conscious of that, which doesn't help), but also because I might not always want to talk exclusively about video games and anime, especially when at the pub or at a lunch. There are other things we could discuss. :P

Assuming we're talking about our taste in the opposite gender, however (which would make sense since this sparked from discussing waifus), physical attractiveness comes to mind as well. But let's maybe not get into that.

Physical attraction is the most important thing at first though. Sadly, being a britbong, the thing I find most attractive in the opposite sex is good skin. Girls of my age over here are far too inclined to paint themselves orange and cake themselves in makeup.

From experience young adult females are often the most boring people in the world though. At work the other day I overheard two of them talk about tattooing on eyebrows and getting fake hair put in for over 45 minutes.

I'd agree that the ability to read more than a Heat magazine, appreciating music that isn't terrible and the ability to not take things too seriously are all attractive traits. Being a Norwich City fan would be great too. I've never gone out of the way to find people, female or male, that share my interests in toons, mostly because they'd probably be too casual for me to be in the same room as.

Physical stuff doesn't matter of course if we are just talking friends.

Most of my male friends all share one interest with me, I bet you can guess what that is.

Here too. It's a bit of an epidemic
Spoiler:

I must agree with Laplicity that the skin is a very important factor. After that we've got the usual stuff like facial shape, curvature, hair and the likes. Myself I've got a big thing for the fair-skinned blonde types... guess it makes sense though, considering I'm Swedish and folks do seem to like similar folks.

Must say that I'm really lucky with the girl I'm currently spending a lot of time with. She feels absolutely perfect - then again I suppose that's a common thing to think when you fancy someone.
