| Personally, I have seen a big difference in my tastes... which is probably a bad thing. I know that I shouldn't be, but unconsciously I keep on waiting for the "perfect" girl. What about all of you? Are you still waiting for that "perfect" case scenario with the "perfect" boy/girl in real life? I hope I'm not the only one XD EDIT: It sorta feels like some people don't understand the question... I'm not talking about your anime tastes, but more about your romance tastes in REAL LIFE. lol. |

| In romance, as well as in slice of life, you need to empathize with the characters in order to enjoy it to the fullest. In my opinion, it's rare to enjoy this kind of anime while at the same time despising the male/female MC. Thus, it really comes down to one's own personality and taste. For example I simply hated both Ano Natsu de Matteru and Clannad, because I couldn't stand the female MC. I watched them till the end, but only because they were highly regarded as incredibly good anime. They are not! Similarly, I dropped White Album 2 after exactly 10 minutes because of my hate for the male MC. So, yeah, I guess that when characters are what drive a type of anime that is, when the characters are the story, I tend to be more picky. |
| not really all i care is about cute girls |
 |
| I don't understand the question |
| I already have the love of my life... but that doesn't mean that romance is automatic. You still have to consider your partner in the way you behave and how they'd appreciate it. There can also be changes in their behavior you like or don't like... or things you've come to realize you'd like more or less of. More often than not, watching anime/reading manga just makes me appreciate my husband more... but it does occasionally remind me of what my ideal standards in romance are, and sometimes I get a little bit more demanding in that way. That goes both ways, though. Sometimes an anime will remind me that I should really work on doing this or that more to make my husband happy. |

StarBurzt said: I'm not sure if you meant in real life or shows but I'm guessing real life. I personally dont think anime has me made more picky since I can still divide realife and anime in 2 different categories so I dont think it has influenced me. Cause as soon your getting more picky because of the anime "ideal" your not savable anymore(might as well just order your dakimakura at that point). But there's a difference between having this ideal anime type girl/guy and expecting to find a real person just like that, and reflecting on your own tastes due to the anime you watch. If you are so into anime that you end up searching for a real life konata, and will settle for nothing less than her spitting image... then yeah... you're taking it way too far and need to come back to reality. But if you just realize that you appreciate a straightforward girl who can make you laugh, I think there's nothing wrong or delusional about that. (and yeah, your avatar was a convenient example, lol) |

| At first no but now i tend to avoid shows with the tsundere bs. It can be done well but its rare.(Very rare) |
 |
| No, anime is anime, real world is real world just it |
 |
| Yes. Its inevitable. The only way to not happen to you, is being a realfag. |

Since he's talking about having the love of your life in the poll, I doubt he's talking about romance genres... but your real life standards for romance. |
|
| Yes, I think they made me more picky. Not only about looks, but also about "kokoro". |

| Yes, I have become more picky as I now know that a women's attractiveness is judged solely on breasts size. |
 |
| Well it didn't exactly make me 'picky'... I have my own taste and preference for girls, after all. I don't hope for girls in real life to be as 'perfect' as those in anime, because face it, they're never going to be the same. But what anime has done is to make me more conscious to this thing called 'love' or 'romance'. It sounds weird in a way, but the thing is now I just have the tendency to want to fall in love. I want to experience those moments just like in anime, or anywhere close to such scenes... so yeah xD |
 |
| No, but I guess my expectations were a bit higher than usual. I was always looking for good girls that have the same interests as me, but noooo, all I see are bitches. |
 |
| I want to say no, but to be honest, yeah my expectations have risen because of romance mediums. (books, anime, movies) |
| IF anime had any effect on my expections for real life than it would probably be the opposite of that. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| yeah, loli or gtfo |
 |
| I think it makes people more picky about their fantasies, not about in real life girls. |

Higashi_no_Kaze said: IF anime had any effect on my expections for real life than it would probably be the opposite of that. This pretty much. I don't think it had any effect on my expectations as far as I remember. Then again, I'm don't really watch romance-focused anime most of the time. |
 |
| I know that it has made me more picky. I'm not waiting for the perfect person of course as I have found someone, but I sometimes expect my partner to do super adorable stuff like in the animes and I will do some things from anime just cause. It embarrasses her sometimes, but she thinks its cute so I'll probably never stop doing it. Though I know that whenever I talk to my ex's I will think back and realize that the relationship was like those anime ones where the viewers knew that it wouldn't work out and you sort of knew, but didn't want to attempt it kind of thing. Sometimes I expect her to know what I'm thinking just like how anime couples seem to know exactly what their love interest is thinking which I know is bad, but I can't seem to help it;; |
 |
| Girls aren't as easy to get as they are portrayed in anime so the expections are probably unrealistic. |
| It makes me want to stay the fuck away. Once upon a time, 2D > 3D, the end. |

| Hmm, i guess it has, i keep on thinking im going to find my death the kid </3 |
 |
| Definitely, in terms of personality. I don't think you can really change who you find physically attractive since it's a natural and instinctive thing. But personality wise, anime has helped me realize what kind of personalities and qualities I like and the kinds I don't. |

| Eh. Not necessarily. The girls in my school my school I have a crush on, after watching anime, I still have a crush on. |

| Well... anime (and games) keeps me inside all the time so there's not any romance in real life, thus I can not answer properly. Got to say though, I do wish for an incredibly beautiful, affectionate and loyal girl to fall from the sky (without any major injuries) and into my room. |

| No shit, 2D>3D |
| Yes, anime has given ridiculously high standards for both appearance and personality, and there is no Hitomi in real life... I know it's not anime but DOA's waifu status is practically the same. |

| I don't really think that watching 2D animations has had any effect on how I perceive females... so no. |
