| Well I know this problem sounds pretty weird and messed up. (updated hehe) But I feel physical attraction only towards anime characters. Since I was a kid, I always crushed on cartoon/video game characters, and never liked real people (actors, etc) I feel that people turn me off (guys, men). And NO I don't mean I hate people or anything, I have friends and stuff, but just in a physical way - I prefer anime characters. I never look at a real guy and say "woah he is so hot" or feel urge to kiss/touch him. I'm curious, has anyone else faced this problem? Do you have a crush on anime characters, and how serious is it? P.s I know this is funny but I'm being totally serious lol. |

According to her statement. It was in her past. |
| I'm the same. I'm attracted to lots of different characters, but can't seem to feel any of the same emotions for real people. Well, I'm still a teen so I still have a ways to go before giving up on relationships in the 3d world. Maybe I should get a body pillow just to be safe- |
ssshaha said: Well I know this problem sounds pretty weird. And creepy. And messed up. But I feel attraction only towards anime characters (I'm a girl). I'm not a teenager or anything, I'm 20 years old. I had been in a relationship for the longest time, but had to break up, since I felt that humans turn me off (guys, men, anything). It started when I was a kid, I always crushed on cartoon/video game characters, and never liked real people (actors, etc) I won't ask if it's normal, because HELL no, It's messed up. But I'm curious, has anyone else faced this problem? Do you have a crush on anime characters, and how serious is it? It's natural to feel affection towards fictional characters because they have real human characteristics and qualities. I still like my fair share of anime men ;) Just take your time and don't rush anything. Feelings are fleeting. Your heart will lead you where you belong be it with anime boys or a real one. ^ ^ |

| I'm actually in the same exact boat, except I'm a guy. It used to bother me a lot as well, because yeah it is very weird. However, I think it helps to think of it from the angle that your preferences aren't really anyone else's business and aren't hurting anyone. As for finding relationships, you've just gotta me upfront about it. There are people who are okay with it, they just take a lot of time to find. Of course, I'm answering this seriously. If this is a bait, I'm gonna look like a fool, but whatever, lol. |

| I don't really get attracted to anime characters, but book characters are a different story :D Sometimes fictional characters just are better than real people, it's not weird at all. They are created to appeal to people. |

| I don't like real people either, they're extremely annoying. |

| its NOT weird, creepy or messed up stop assuming theres something wrong with you.. the characters are designed to be perfect, so being highly attracted to them is completely normal everyone who watches anime has probably fantasized about being with a character.. thats how we humans are wired, and thats why we make fiction perfect.. because reality isn't if you're weird than probably most of this site is... but guess what.. you're not... were all normal... we just think were weird, anime fans aren't any "weirder" than any other group of people, despite what we seem to believe YES, we DO have to accept reality, meaning if you want a relationship you have no choice but to find a real person, but you don't have to pretend reality isn't shit or that real people are just as ideal just because you have to accept it |

| You have a strong case of schediaphilia. I wouldn't worry about it, I mean it is what it is. If it really bothers you then perhaps in real life you are just missing a certain fetish you haven't discovered yet. Try going on pornhub and just start clicking through shit to see if you can find anything that arouses you that is not animated porn. |
 |
| I'm the same. I am attracted to lolis in anime but not to real kids. Real kids turn me off. I prefer big breasted oneesans in real life. |
 |
| Trust me, anime men > fucking normie men, always. |
 |
| Don't worry, this is merely a proof of your superior tastes |

SoundsOfTheWild3 said: You have a strong case of schediaphilia. lol i remember being turned on by 80s cartoon women back when i was like 4 or 5.. watching shows like X-Men, Superman etc and being horny for Rogue and Louis Lain, oh.. and don't you forget the disney princesses.. don't get me started on the Little mermaid and Jasmin XD then the days of Pokemon taught me the greatness of the Japanese cartoon girl and ive been obsessed since however, unlike OP, this has never affected my attraction to real women |
|
| I had a few crushes on fictional non-anime characters. If it's only a fantasy, it's okay. But if you only get attracted to fictional persons and not real one, then yeah, it can be a problem. |
 I respect your opinion as long as you respect mine. |
| I wouldn't worry too much about it. This is a phase. I had it too A fictional character becomes closer of the "ideal expectation" of a perfect man or women or what we wish or dream about. Everyday live with a real human beeing is sometimes not easy and not always perfect. But I am sure you will find the right one anytime.. I do not think it is wrong to dream about a fictional character as long as you do not loose your touch with the reality I am married and sometimes I am joking with my husband that as long anime characters can not come to real life he has no reason to worry about me cheating hehehehe ^^ |
 |
| It isn't necessarily unnatural or wrong, but it depends on why you feel that way. Is it that you feel sexual attraction to anime characters, but not human ones? Or are you ace, and anime characters aren't "real" so it isn't the same? Or maybe you have various issues or insecurities with intimacy, and the ideal of an anime character that can never leave or disappoint you is appealing? |
| I don't like people either. Or most characters. Don't worry; you're not alone. People just aren't good enough to be liked. |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
| Yes. Almost every part of my life is dedicated to anime. I have crush on anime character and even imagine living in the anime world. I don't like real people because of my social experience. Almost everyone in my country are SJW people that i cannot talk with because every time i disagree with them at any point, they start perceiving me as an enemy and then they push their own political agenda into me. I am scared. So i isolate myself in my room, watch anime, and play games, and imagine myself having an anime character as girlfriend and living in the anime world. |

| Maybe a crush to a certain character but I'm quite sure it's different from being attracted. Well, we have our own preferences anyway :p Sjo said: i haven't seen this much bait since that time i got lost in a fishing & hunting market These kind of replies make MAL a lively place. lol |
ssshaha said: Well I know this problem sounds pretty weird. And creepy. And messed up. But I feel attraction only towards anime characters (I'm a girl). Actually, that's pretty normal around here. You might want to search the forums, there was a good poll here in AD about how people feel about attraction to 3D people vs 2D characters. After all, real people are no match for an attractive anime character. A lot of people have not given up on finding somebody IRL that is worth their love, so you need not give up too. Or just don't worry and love bishounen. |
| I love anime characters as much as the next guy but you gottafeel for real people too you know.. at the end of the day even though how much me and you love it.. it's still pixels on a screen. |
| @DoctorWasabi ... I just found a nice match for you lol |
| Why do I have the crushing feeling that OP is actually serious? |
"I'd take rampant lesbianism over nuclear armageddon or a supervolcano any day." ~nikiforova |
| Well, I never had a crush on anything ever even though I'm sexualy attracted to girls. Makes me wonder if I'm aromantic (If that's even a thing), or it's just my lack of care for social relations. Either way, some people are just different when it comes to attractions. |
| You are not your body, you are your brain, the "self" that emerges from within it. |
OP might be onto something here..... |
Sjo said: Then you haven't subscribed to Neweggs email newsletter :/. To this very day I still get baited by their claims of "great deals" when I should know by now that only the shit they regret putting in their inventory goes on sale, and anything that's even remotely good either never gets put on sale or has a measly 5% or 10% off. Like this morning, "Get up to 60% off on select products!". First of all, nothing was 60% off. Second of all, everything that was on sale was second tier trash.i haven't seen this much bait since that time i got lost in a fishing & hunting market |

| Sounds interesting. ;p Of course, I had some anime crushes but I like real men too, so... But if you ask me about my anime crushes the biggest two are You Asakura <since my early childhood and I don't even feel guilty lmao> because of his lazy, playful and calm personality and freaking Rin Matsuoka for almost a year now. :')))) If somebody's with me then text me to fangirling/fanboying over them together. OMG I LOVE THESE TWO SO MUCH IT'S ALMOST PAINFUL |

| I dont like real people too, human and all other animal bodies are gross unless you look at them from far away very faaaaar away.. |
| I think i like both, anime and real. But since anime girls are unreachable i like real girls better. |
| Well, even without ever seeing anime, I'd still find real people "unattractive." But yeah, I'm basically in the same situation as you.

The fact that they don't have flesh. Like body odor, spit, all that nasty stuff - they are basically perfect. They also look much better than real humans. Like much, much better. And always have better personalities. It's more on physical level of attraction. |

We need to accept the reality - the 3D world we're living in. Real people with flaws. Cowards and fake people. And our boring lives. This is what live is about... |

ALWAYS better?... uh... come on bruh... anyway, yea well as you stated, fiction can make everything perfect, as anime does all the time, this goes obviously beyond anime (depending on the individual) but yea man, as far as reality goes, we can't have the perfection that anime gives us, so the best we can do is sink ourselves into it and fap to the characters while still acknowledging the shitty reality we face |
