Probably because you spend all your time around 2D women and none of your time around 3D women. Exposure etc... can bias you for sure.
Also it's much easier to love static objects (which is basically what anime characters are on an abstract level) than actual, dynamic, ever-changing, inconsistent, messy humans who have their own desires, needs, lifes and dreams rather than just being passive recepticles for your own projections and desires.
Preferring 2D over 3D is for people who are afraid to love irl, afraid of rejection, afraid of the complications of being a human and being in a relationship with other humans. It's easy, uncomplicated and lets you love 'someone' without having to worry about all the complications that come with being in love irl. The thing making these characters attractive is the fact that you don't interact with them, just observe them passively and project your feelings onto them without having to worry about any variables in that interaction. Nothing you can say or do or feel will change that dynamic because the anime girls don't have a say in it. They're just there. Always. Unchanging.
If they came to live as actual people and started interacting with you, they'd probably lose their charm BECAUSE they are suddenly real, even if everything else remained the same. Being real in itself, being alive is what makes 3D women unattractive to such people. The difference isn't the personalities or looks, it's fantasy vs reality in general. And depending on how you frame that duel, fantasy will always be superior to reality.
The only way real women can fulfil the same role as 2D women do for people like that is by getting objectified to the degree where they became static, passive fantasies themselves in the brains of men. Otherwise, irl as real people, they're competing on different markets than 2D and offering totally different things. Arguable real women/people offer much MORE in terms of breadth and depth of experiencing love and life and whatnot, but it's much EASIER and less scary to enjoy what 2D is offering because there's no variables, just you and the object that is the anime character of your worship.
As long as you only care about LOVING and not GETTING LOVED, you're gonna be fine sticking to 2D. It's probably the better choice in that case. But if you want to hang on to any hope of ever being on the receiving end of love and actually experience things related to it, you shouldn't lock the 3D door behind you because that's something a static piece of fiction can never give you - actual experiences.
Basically as long as you're aware of what you're doing, of the trade you're making and the things you're giving up, and are still fine with 2D over 3D, go for it. It's not necessarily a bad thing. Just don't lie to yourself for 20 years because you're afraid of the messiness of real life interactions and then realize that you're gonne die alone and regret everything when it's already too late, as I suspect many people spouting this attitude/preference will or already have. |
