Which type of heroine is more to your liking?
| In many stories the journey of a protagonist leads him into relationship with one of the heroines, but they can be very different to each other. So which type of heroine is more to your liking in your perfect fantasy? Quoting options here because MAL is weird and doesn't show them in full: A girl it'd be very comfortable to be around, i.e. a "perfect wife" so to speak, like Orihime or Hinata. Someone who might be not easy to deal with and who I'd need to "conquer" (e.g. a noble or some proud warrioress). I'd like to be a slave pig to a dominatrix (a boss, a queen, etc.) instead. |
| 2nd option is cheesy asf and I hate those type of Anime tbvh. I just prefer an ordinary girl |
| The point of girls like Orihime or even Nagisa from Clannad isn't dominance, but mutual support. They serve as a gentle but reliable foil to the man and act as a refuge against a harsh world. This is actually portrayed infinitely in Tohru from Fruits Basket, whose entire role is supporting and uplifting those around her. And that's exactly what makes her more endearing than any harem archetype. |
 |
| 3rd option I suppose as it applies to my Waifus ,and it's just what their like. |
 |
| I like tough dominant girls like Mai and the Major from GITS. So...option 2? |
| My waifu is the most wonderful waifu. Mai Valentine. We're freaking out that we're running out of time, but to do what? Should i stop and think of that? Is there something i could do to slow it down? Live in a day for once, instead of watch it sprinting by |
| I want a sad and shy girl who has a tough past |
    |
| This is all a boys fantasy, a real man fantasy is to never let anyone get close to you, be eternally alone, deal with every problem by yourself and never rely on anyone. |
| Whichever is fine as long as they have big fat round voluptuous anime tiddies |
| . |
| Definitely option 1, I'd say 'most' of my fav girls are like that. I wouldn't want to be with a girl who bosses me around. |

| But what if they all look the same but have different personality and occupation?? |

| I like the first or the second option the most. |

| Only two votes for slave pig? Always knew the men on this site were no good. |

| A perfect male fantasy is being among other trusty men. Wenches are fleeting. Men's friendship is eternal. |

| The option c, he thought I'll choose it... But I like women dominant against other men not with myself haha |
 |

| The real male fantasy would be escaping from all responsibilites and boring world to become a bounty hunter in space, meeting one of my loved ones one day who unfortunately get killed by the main villain and the mc wants to murder his ass who doesn't care about if it costs his own life. This is male fantasy in its purest form. |

| Neither option from the poll. Perfect male fantasy is a story about friendship among males going on manly adventures and bonding with each other. |

Especially if it had more manly moments, like this one in example: |

I can't see how it's misandrist/feminist since the author doesn't hold those beliefs. One of the reasons why it doesn't have fanservice is because he's afraid his parents will read his manga and say something about it to him. |

| Seriously if I talk about my fantasy, karinara, kunii and Stephen weeby will appear and ban my ass.. and Luna isn't an admin anymore so nobody can help.. I'll get banned for a month... So it's like clickbait for getting bans. |

Nemo_Niemand said: A perfect male fantasy is being among other trusty men. Wenches are fleeting. Men's friendship is eternal. That's not a bad point... Getting an anime girl is easy, any loser harem protagonist can do it. But anime really could use some more traditionally masculine men. |
| @Adnash isn't this essentially JoJo by the way? |

| 1 & 2 are both good options but I think anime has a better track record portraying the sweet, wholesome type rather than the troublesome sort. But yeah I don't really feel like anime having a likeable love interest in it = male fantasy. I think stories aiming for that target needs to soothe the male ego by featuring acts of selfless heroism and stuff. Underdog stories work well in that regard. Bonus points if the previously difficult woman comes to appreciate the guy she formerly underestimated. |

| To be a ideal waifu they have to loyal most of all. I never understood masochism. |

If you ask whether it's kino or not, then yes - it is that kind of a show. ;-) However depends on which Part we are talking about. In example, manly adventure with elements I mentioned before looked differently in Part 4 compared to Part 3 or Part 7; and despite many similar themes and elements present in Part 3 and 7, many of their takes on manly adventure, bonding and friendship among men were also different. |
| wheres the option for an actual heroine I guess the 1st option is close enough and it seems like its what caters to my taste |
| One where he is confronted with incomprehensible forces and mans up and accepts, he has to learn to crawl before he can walk. Then is unsatisfied with being little more than a sidekick so he sets out on a journey to become his own, separate man and becomes a suitable vessel for God. |

| I want to be a play thing to a different loli/oppai loli brat, every day of the week. |
| I Guess I'll Choose The First Option. |

| I'm a gentle guy so I'd like to meet a gentle girl matching me... Never liked a prideful type (and even less -- sadistic). Though it could be really cool for the girl to have a strong and firm character -- the main thing is, it must be not in price of understanding and supporting temper. And I'd really be glad to respond in kind. |

| My fantasy is being with a rule 63 version of myself from an alternate universe. We'd both think very similarly and be very comfortable around each other and would be willing to do anything with each other-- all feelings are entirely mutual. Truly a great fantasy in my eyes. Not to mention she'd be near identical in stature and build to me so she'd kinda be loli hehehehehehehe (kill me).

And that's exactly what makes her more endearing than any harem archetype. That kind of mutual support is something I yearn for. I'm naturally a supporter as well and I can't really imagine myself fitting into anything but that, so my perfect wife and I would both support each other ^_^ One of my fantasies is something similar to this but the girl is more Yandere-esque. Loyal, is obsessed with you, a tad bit crazy and would do crazy shit so she can keep you to herself-- but because she loves you-- I'd give all that love back to her so she can be happy and feel appreciated (this sentence is cringe as hell but I'm still going with it). |

| For those wondering, I've chosen a second option. |
