I find anime women more attractive than real women. Is my brain fried for good?

I'm ashamed to say this but there is a possibility that I have some sort of mental illness. I find anime women more tempting and visually appealing than real women and i'm hopelessly in love with a numbers of them not only because of their appearance but also their highly arousing personality and attitude.

I can't get turned on by real women nor feel any emotional attachment to them but when it's 2D, my dopamine kicks in and stimulate way, way better.

Is my brain gone for good or will I eventually overcome this?

What are you talking about?

2D has always been superior to 3D

I am not really sure if this is bait or not but anyways. Yes, that's the point. Anime overemphasizes qualities of its characters so that they are more appealing to the viewer. But it is really sad if you can't find beauty in the real world anymore.

Yes your brain is fried and that's why you are making these type of threads.

Liking 2D girls is not a bad thing but preferring them over 3D is a very serious issue.
Thankfully I have never experienced this.

Isn't that normal for every man of culture.

(seriously though I think you will be fine)
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

Is it really strange that a man-made product capable of being perfect, and not bound to any physical limitations is superior to something naturally occurring? — I find it rather strange this comes as a surprise to you.

2D girls are perfection unlike real life ones. I guess finding them attractive is... Alright?

As long as it doesn't drastically effects your real life relationship. Ya all good!

2D girls are more attractive for me because they are fictional and made to be perfect.
Arousal on the other hand though... its always 3D women for me.

Anime girls are more attractive both in terms of looks and personality since they were design with perfection in mind.

2D is made to be superior to 3D, with how they made every female character to be perfect and appealing to their male audience, and it's precisely why there are more waifu-bait shows now than actual plot-driven shows. Being attracted to them is natural, but since i don't know how far you've gotten with your so called "addiction", it's better to limit yourself. Maybe go out for a walk, socialize with other people, attend some parties and you'll get better?

It's the same with anime girls. They are meant to be perfect.

These anime girls will never love you back. You will never feel their touch or their love. Being in love with a fictional character is a curse.

If you can't "make yourself happy" by watching any form of porn videos, erotic books, adult magazines and live-cams, then you might be in trouble. But if any of these still work for you, then you're A-okay.

It's weird that people here are calling anime women perfect
Anime women are far from perfect, as every kind of fictional character there is

Creatures that are not perfect cannot create perfect things
Anime women weren't made by God or someone like that...

As for your question, your brain is fried for sure, try to detox from anime women and you'll be fine in a week
Depends if you have any kind of addiction though, then it may be harder for you to quit, even if it is just for a week

And also if you aren't going outside or interacting with women, it will be harder for you to get attracted to them, so if you aren't doing that already, I recommend you to start rn

Lol, imagine believing real things are the best, real things can hurt or kill you. That's why fiction > real.

If you're serious with this, I don't think it was a mental illness, but rather you were in the "want a beautiful, great personality, basically a real life girl with perfect fictional traits, and fak her so hard, but I can't so I put my fantasize into something else" phase.

Of course you can go to a psychologist if you're not sure with yourself.

If you really have no interest in real women, then you might want to check your sexual orientation. If you truly believe you are not lgbtq, then another theory is that there are not good women around you. If you have high standards and think all the women around you aren't a match for you, then go outside more and meet new people. You can't stay in your house all day without seeing any girls and think you find anime girls attractive.

I hate to break it to you, but there personality and attitude is crafted by real people - most often by men too.

Character designs are ofc also crafted by artists.

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.
I probably regret this post by now.

Kinda hard not to. They are specifically made to look attractive.

Personally I prefer video game characters since you can get that 3D aspect of real people while still having them be 1000% more attractive than real people. Granted a lot of game characters I like are basically anime characters.

It is a meme man. Meant to spoof all the new age "sexual orientation" shit that's been popping up in the recent times. There are only two sexual orientations: heterosexual and homosexual. Period. Anything else is either cope or "attack helicopter" memes.

Ive always said we should just get rid of labels on who you want to bang, it doesnt really serve a point to have a word for what kind of people you wanna get in bed with imo

just go on a person-to-person basis and screw who you want (and who wants to screw you), that way you dont have to constantly change shit
