| Why people don't see when they close their eyes? |
| I don’t really have a preference (in terms of anime, not irl) I just like a good romance. Some of my favorite romances thus far have been Toradora, Bloom into You, and Oregairu. So I’m down for straight or girls love, as long as it’s told good and the characters are appealing. Definitely don’t wanna watch any boys love cause it ain’t my taste, but nothing against it. (Edit: I sort of already said this but to word it more directly, I like Yuri for the same reason I like a male x female romance, good story telling first of all, cute girls second of all.) —sort of off topic— Although despite boys love being a huge turn off for me, tbh I’d almost rather see Hachiman end up with the girly looking dude than see him pick Yukino or Yui because I don’t want to see them get hurt. I feel like If they both got passed up on it would be easier for them to move on then seeing the other go off with Hachi. Never been so torn on a love triangle I usually have a preference. This show is gonna be a sad one for me when it ends. |

| That's a very big generalization you got going there lel. I never found yuri to be appealing at all but to each their own. It only becomes a problem when the shipping goes too far like in Sound Euphorium |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |

Yuki is obviously more intelligent, arguably has more outright sex appeal, has a lonely sort of complex that makes you want to comfort her and much much more. But Yui is more carefree and I think would be more fun to be around in general, and is a very kind hearted/soft spoken person. Plus she has a dog, as do I, and I friggen love doggos. Iunno I like em both a lot and will be sad no matter how it ends. Unless 3 way? Maybe? Maaaaybe? Naw. |

| As a guy myself, I can't help but say that I find myself more fond of GL compared to boy x girl. I think it's just one of the kinks so to speak. Just like how some girls out there who enjoys BL far more than the typical "Shoujo" anime/manga. |

Where are the women in shounen ai anime? Where are the gay people in regular old anime?! I personally can't watch an anime with only boys OR girls in it, it has to be balanced otherwise I just feel uncomfortable. Tried watching Citrus, I can stand only 1 episode a month, just can't bring myself to watch it. On topic, I can't really comment. As long as there's a good story, I don't care who's getting dicked.(or schlicked?) |

Shiroanon said: it's because homosexual love is the purest form of love of course. this applies to yaoi too thats actually a good point, there might be a bigger emphasis on "love" and purity is highly sought after of course, not just in diamonds but in love too. |
| I don;t prefer yuri over regular anime but I'm not adverse to it eitjher. |

| I don't prefer lesbian relationships over heterosexual relationships in the characters I watch. I usually don't even focus on romance in the first place. |

HopefulNihilist said: I understand part of the appeal of yuri, but in the end, shouldn't straight guys find it much more attractive to watch an anime about a guy and a girl instead? I have no problem if you like yuri. I'm just curious why you prefer it The reason I've watched any yuri anime, at all, is because of the atmosphere, or entertaining characters; not because of the yuri aspect of it. because those people have tastes and aren't boring like you |

| I believe their train of thought would be that 2 girls are better than 1 girl and 1 guy. |

That's what I don't understand: because shouldn't it be easier to self-insert into a guy instead of a girl, making love with another girl? iasuru said: I have no problem if you like straight femdom. I'm just curious why you prefer it I find it easier to self-insert into a guy and fantasize having a girlfriend...because I don't have a girlfriend in real life... As for the femdom aspect, I don't know either. Years ago, I just liked femdom. Then I liked dominatrix outfits. Then I liked BDSM. Now I want femdom romance: the idea of being dominated by a girl who loves me, while cares gently for me is something I really like. iasuru said: The reason I've watched any straight femdom anime, at all, is because of the atmosphere, or entertaining characters; not because of the straight femdom aspect of it. There are straight femdom romance anime?! Where?! wow cool. very cool indeed. fuck thsi character limit |
|
| I mean, I don't self-insert into anime, so I like yuri a lot more than straight romances. Two girls will always be better than one girl and a guy. |
 What's the difference? |

HopefulNihilist said: well, i did say that as a joke mainly.. but i do believe it somewhat, there's just something more romantic and innocent about it to me. can't really explain why though, it's pretty inexplicableInteresting. Where does this notion come from? like, look at this image. super pure and innocent, right? now imagine one of them being replaced a guy. it instantly becomes gross and yucky and bad |
| I mean, you could easily extrapolate this and ask why straight guys like lesbian porn. I personally never understood why, and I'm not really a fan of yuri either. If I'm watching a romance anime, I want to see a good wholesome show; I don't care about what gender the characters are. |

| since when did most straight guys prefer yuri over male and female? |
Johan said: I'm not sure where this hate is coming from. It seems to be an original question that provokes discussion, instead of the "what's your favourite x" "what's the last x you saw" etc threads that I see recycled every week. Here you go again. Then in a few weeks you'll be wondering why people are tired of your threads. Thanks for the example. |

| Spineless males that are allergic to women are an epidemic in anime, manga, and light novels geared towards males. At least in yuri you get handholding, cuddling, and kisses. |
 |
| I prefer guy-girl romance but from time to time I watch some yuri. I only watched Utena because of the plot and Citrus because of the ecchi. |
    |
| More girls obviously but... Not seen it but why is it Yuri on ice when it's a bunch of dudes? |
| Seems like a generalization but some guys are just into lesbian porn. I don't get it either but hey siccoyote said: Not seen it but why is it Yuri on ice when it's a bunch of dudes? Not sure if you're being sarcastic but the main character is named Yuri |

| Maybe they just like girl-on-girl action. As a hetero male, I don't really find yuri appealing so I guess I can't speak for those who do. |
| Someone once pointed out that there are darker undertones to the fetish for a considerable portion of these guys. Primarily the subconscious belief that a homosexual relationship carriers far less seriousness and gravity compared to a heterosexual one. What does this entail? Well, 1.) One is the M-F-F threesome fantasy. You already have two women. The guy thinks he can easily add himself to the mix. 2.) Second is that developing attraction for someone and then losing them to a lesbian hurts less than losing them to another dude. Though, I'd argue there's a better underlying reason to the number two than people seeing homosexual relationships as less serious. That is, you don't see the lesbian as a competition as much as another male because heterosexual women are the majority. For demonstration's sake, let's say that out of all single available women you'd be attracted to in your locale, 90% are heterosexual. That means that the dude is your competition 90% of the time, not the lesbian. Then again, that reasoning doesn't apply to fictional characters so number two holds somewhat, I guess. There's also the delusion that girls' thoughts are purer that might play a part for a few guys. That is, that since the sex of the fictional character that likes the fictional character you're attracted to is female, then she's thinking of hugs, cute kisses, and hand-holding, not ravishing the girl over the kitchen sink and every other surface possible. Ergo, they'd consider the relationship pure and cute, not raging hormones and lust. Most of the time though, it's just that they seem to have more effort and thought put into them than some dime-a-dozen heterosexual rom-coms. |
