Anime/manga seems to attract more women than, let's say, the "gaming" community. I think that's nice, it's fun to be part of a pop-culture interest that attracts both sexes.


Most "nerd" culture is dominated by males be it, technology, comics, video games or what have you. What do you guys think makes anime/manga relatively popular with girls?

If I had to guess I'd say it's the kawaii "cute" art tbh, but I don't claim to understand how women think.

I'm a guy if you hadn't noticed already.

I'm a girl and I don't understand myself either xD
I'm not a fan of the "kawaii/cute" stuff ~ I've just known anime all my life and enjoyed it I guess

There is a lot of females on female oriented websites, Wattpad, for example. Anime is very general and most probably attracts both demographic.

but that doesn't take into account people lying about their gender

Your poll is broken, I answered female.
I love Christine

"If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary; In proportion as he simplifies his life, the laws of the universe will appear less complex, and solitude will not be solitude, nor poverty poverty, nor weakness weakness." - Henry David Thoreau

took the words out my mouth.
Have you guys seen that new anime this season about how that guy was shocked to find out his guild was all females? Netoge no Yome is what it's called.

I feel like the main character. My trust is damaged. I love people for who they are. But i never assume it's a girl without 1000% evidence. Until then you all have peens. :) No girls here guys keep it moving :p
(btw I'm in denial if you haven't noticed)
Sry guys, I'm the main character of this anime.

there is nothing better than a female who thinks she is a male sometimes for times (1%) when I feel like being the submissive. Except when it crosses the line and goes bdm or whatever it's called. 99% of the time I try to stay dom for the safety of my reputation lol.

Guaranteed 100% female user right here.

If I changed my gender to female or non-binary would you believe me OP?

Most female users are easy to identify through the type of manga/anime they like and for some reason they always have nicer profile layouts

Apparently 40% of the users on MAL are female and there are 3.4 million users. 0.4 x 3.4 = 1.36 million females on MAL.

Your avatar is a bishounen and your username means "masculine female". I hope everyone who was confused by your username has a first language other than English.

I think avgugly girls with no selfesteem take interests that are classically nerdy to appear more valuable to that potential meat market and inflate their worth.

Anime is a 0 dollar down investment where as gaming requires intial capital. Plus cons allow girls to dress slutty.

Also, if you're curious, I believe the female to male ratio on mal is 1.5/3
