In dating would you consider liking anime a turn on?

Do think that liking anime is a turn on? Do you want your partner to like anime? Answers are probably biased since we're all filthy weebs here.

By "turn on" I mean it's just a plus not a fetish lol.

Yeah. If someone dislikes anime (or worse, refuses to date those who watch it), they're probably a drooling retard not worth my time.

Yes I want a girl to go uguu on me.
As long as her taste isn't too shitty.

I can see you

Are you sure you're not the one with shitty taste?

That's simply not possible. I think my list and ratings are pretty decently elitist. I just need to watch lotgh at some point.

Doesn't the partner require more traits than just being an anime fan. Upper your standards a little bit, my dear. There is much more to seek in a partner.

Being a nerd in general, but it's not liking anime per se. If they'd go like "Iolis are so hot" or anything like that, that's a huge turn off. Otherwise I don't care as long as we got some hobbies or interests to share.

It doesn't matter if a woman I'm interested in also watches anime... but it would be a plus if she did, seeing as how at just about 44 years old I watch more of it now than I did at 14 or 15. I've gotten to the point I only watch "Select" stuff live action on streaming services, and "Select" movies. When I want to unwind I watch anime. If some woman I'd be dating (I don't intend to really re-engage in this until 2025 after just getting out a 9 year relationship Sept 2021 anyhow) isn't down to watch anime it probably cause some issues on her side of things where when I want to do that, that's what I'm doing and when we're doing stuff together (not anime) that's what we're doing. You'd be surprised how many women even in may age bracket can't handle that.

But it's not a requirement. As long as we got in road trips to wherever "just because"... hit up the comedy clubs... took in live music somewhere and got in a lot of SexXx worth a damn, not some prude by-the-numbers stuff... I'd be good.

Yes, but it's not a requirement. It's always good if your partner shares some of your interests so you could have something to talk about. If her taste is too wack though, that might be a different story.

It is important to have the same hobbies as the person I'm dating. Doing things that we both find fun is the best part of dating.

I try to have other hobbies too so that I can connect with people on something other than anime.

You said "it's just a plus", so where's the option for that?

It's not requirement, but I'll be happy if we have the same hobby and liking anime is one of them.

I don't care if the woman I am dating likes anime or not. Besides that if she did like anime it most likely would be anime aimed at chicks that she likes. So we wouldn't be sitting on the cough together watching Ninja Scroll and Jobless Reincarnation.

Sup virgins ;p

Anime doesn't matter, really.

If your partner is into it, why not talk a bit about it, as long as it's not the only thing you talk about for hours ;)

Don't be ashamed to enjoy it, but don't obsess over it if the other person isn't into it.

You have great people who like anime, and great people who don't or do not care about it.

Don't make a rule out of it, just go with the flow ;p

PS : Try not talking about video games though, this is a huge turn off for a lot of people.

No I have been in relationships with both men who like and do not watch anime. Never been in a relationship with anyone who actively dislikes anime. If someone doesn't watch anime I can usually find common grounds about other things, videogames, movies etc. I sometimes try to have them watch it if they seem interested but I won't force it upon them or talk about it obsessively.

My last boyfriend was an anime fan but we didn't like the same things...he was more into ecchi and I wasn't. Though he also liked Shounen series so we would watch things like One Piece and Hunter x Hunter together.

Added bonus but not even close to being a requirement. What matters more is the security and stability of the relationship, and compatibility and stuff.

Also finding out the person I'm dating has shit taste would be a real turn off.

Having that and other nerdy things as interests inspire conversations and bonding.

...unless it's just the entry-level shows and she's a prude towards ecchi and hentai, in which case: Don't waste my time.

My partner liking anime is a plus, but a partner doesn't *need* to like anime for me to be interested in them.
My girlfriend is a lot pickier when it comes to anime than I. Her favorites though are Madoka Magica, Made in Abyss, and Kaiba and its a lot of fun when I do watch anime with her. Most of the time we watch Western cartoons together though.

Huge red flag. Internal monologue starts thinking "fujoshit? cosplay attention whore? addicted to twitter? insane in some other way?"

Men put way too much emphasis on being into niche media and counterculture. It's kinda analogous to how women in the young professional class always get confused when they realize being "driven/ambitious" and having a good career doesn't make them any more desirable to men. Women naturally want those qualities in men, because it means security. But when women treat their own career or their own ambitiousness like it's some sort of selling point in the dating game, that's just women projecting female priorities onto men's desires.

Likewise men cultivate esoteric, "cultured" taste in movies/music/books/media, and then get indignant when women don't give a shit. Or they get all confused when they can't find women who have the same esoteric taste. It's because women don't care a lot about that stuff, men do. If you meet a woman who does care a lot about that stuff, then she's either somewhat neuroatypical or she was socialized wrong. Which you might find endearing at first, but it will manifest in more negative ways than positive ways down the road.

Maybe you should expand your horizons and find new hobbies. Aside from video games and anime, the world has a lot more to offer.

I’ve seen and experienced what the world has to offer but anime, video games and music are the best. I’ve dated over two dozen girls and slept with 21 of them. Many more experiences with trans women on top of that. Didn’t meet anybody who loved anime and video games so I always have to do the things that they like such as travelling, shopping and restaurants. Usually the only hobby we both really like was watching movies. I would love to have a “boring” girl who isn’t always trying to get me to come out here and there.

Maybe, depends on the kind of anime they like, for example liking ecchi, hentai, BL or GL will most definitely be a turn off and I'm not meeting him ever again, most other anime should be fine*

I'm not a fan of watching anime with other people (feel like there's some really awkward borderline-pedo lewd moments shoved into almost every anime that just makes me question my existence, some exceptions though), so it doesn't matter to me whether they like anime or not. What matters is that they're fine with ME watching anime
