Tell them, Sarah. Tell them that most intelligent American females will not be attracted to anime fans.
I mean, it's a pretty obvious fact in this country.

Andy, I've stated it but clearly it's hard for people to understand that it is no secret that girls prefer guys who do not watch Anime. It is a clear upon meeting any female.
Maybe you guys don't realize but girls might tolerate your watching of Anime and even sit through it to keep their guy around since some girls make sacrifices for relationships but I assure you the majority of these girls behind closed doors have it on your list of cons. I don't care to watch any of it. I have never claimed to have watched any of it. I associate cartoons with immaturity. When you think about it, it is immature to watch animated characters no matter how mature the theme is. I'm not saying don't watch it but it is a turn off to the opposite sex whether you like it or not at least in America.

Great post. Although I couldn't help but interfere. I've past my anime days and from what I've gathered, it is pretty much nobody's fault in their views. You call everyone out their who judge anime lovers fools and idiots. And unfortunately, most of them do judge anime. Its undeniable most girls out there tend to look at anime lovers as immature. Considering only based on an easy fact. It is UNREAL.
True that there are so many different types of animes ranging from the more mature ones to the less. However it never really mattered to be honest. Somehow anime flicks which make it to the top are those extremely overdone sci-fi / fantasy stuff. The creators decided to chose the easy way out. I'm saying this because I'm pretty sure you guys liked anime mostly for the story line. The theme, the plot etc. Thus lets look at it in another perspective. An anime like Spirited Away. I don't believe if it has been done using real people, blue screens, some special effects and the entire same story, it will still reach a status of what the original Spirited Away anime.
I guess what I'm trying to say is after all the fuss about anime, it is too fake. If we try to make it real, direct it with some actors and actresses, it too would become idiotic. I wouldn't want to imagine say Benjamin Mckenzie acting as Urosaki Ichigo. The way I see it, why don't these anime artists turn their stories in to movies/series? Seeing that it's obvious movies with a cast generate more profit. I suppose the reason is of what I've stated.
Moreover, anime could make a person dreamy. Escaping reality. Looking at life in much different sense. As I've said. Everything is perfect in anime. And as you watch them, you tend to think/make believe that it too could be possible for yourself. A perfect love relationship, friendship, will to improve, just to name a few. It kinda makes us naive about the real world. I'm not generalizing on animes though as I do know of some animes such as Evangelion which pictures self struggle and stuff. The point is, they make everything so damn fuckin' cool. Which is obviously impossible!

it was more philosophical than anything really, if anything anime as universally recognized, as you say, "fake" tends to unequivocally serve its function as art(not great art) which is mimicking Reality and catharsis of senses; as opposed to say a movie with live actors where the lines are blurred. Conclusion your conceptual assault is simply moot; for all is fake and anime happens to actually be less fake. Preference i understand and you did mention that earlier as you gracefully bowed only to come back and hammer the real v. fake.
Generalzing it all just because you've come across people who feel this way is pretty stupid.And anyway,anything that is supposedly true for America does not have to be true for the entire world too.If you think that the whole world feels the way you feel about a certain issue,then that is nothing short of idiotic.
Actually, cartoon is the key word.
Totally ridiculous point. Females understand that males love sports, and many think it's sexy.
I wonder how many females think anime is sexy.

You know or you, but if american chicks act exactly the way hollywood protrairs them oh i see where you comin from. I love anime and its no secret but i dont have a problem hooking up ladies
Amen
dude your personal vendetta against ppl that like anime is just dumb. You watch dumb fuck shows like 'Lost' and you are telling me that’s what rounds up the ladies from your front door to around the corner? Its all inconsequential. I don't think 'Mad Money' with jim cramer is a really panty dropper either so get off of it kid.
It’s the same argument you are using against ppl that watch anime. I doubt anyone here including myself talks to chicks and brings up anime as a fucking talking point.
Ease up andy, its just another form of entertainment, and your sweeping generalizations are 100% never spot on, otherwise I would be doing the same for a whole lot of things around here.
