| This question is more targeted towards males but females also can answer. "They don't have d**ks! It's so unrealistic I can't relate to this at all!" If you think you're not as dense, have you ever confess or ask girls for date? Because I don't and for me doing this is scarier than if I have to rewatch Coming Soon or even maybe seeing people got brutally runover right before my eyes. So I want to ask if you guys if there's any of you who just can't make a romantic move to girls before they confess their feelings to you? I kind of can relate to dense/donkan guy who can't made a romantic move before the girl confess "I love you, do you love me?" to them, but as for those who rejects the girl, I usually dislikes them. I'm asking this seriously because I don't want to think that people who say this are all resembles Makoto Itou. |

| I don't really hate them but I would prefer main characters like Soushi if I'm going to be honest  |
 |
| Because it's a cheap way to draw out the story. They are running the same circles for an eternity instead of portraying a believable relationship. |

| @You Makoto Itou, that's funny, I'm just watching School days out of recommendation from the forums ( ep 6 so far ). Well, hope nobody gets offended by my answer ( I swore to myself to speak my mind and even my flaws, sadnesses and pains in this profile ) > I'm a woman, romantically dense myself. ( really emotional ). When I was in college i declared my love to another girl, notebook on chest with the "I love you" written and everything, she was my friend for years already. I was rejected immediately. "I don't like girls, sorry" she said. Big deal ? never spoke to me again, avoided me for the rest of college ( more 3 semesters ) never seen her after college either. This is me, about what happened, to this day: Still think about her. |
| I don't really hate them, I don't usually care about the guy protagonist and am more focused on the lady characters in stuff like that to the point where he just seems irrelevant to me if anything i usually get annoyed when they aren't like that because it usually sucks up more time from the characters i actually want to see. not to say this can't be the case when they are like that and it annoys me just as much in that case as well, but it's less prevalent unless i really happen to like the guy character, at which point that isn't as much of a problem, but that's rare |

Wut lol? First of all what you're talking about isn't romantic denseness it's having no balls to confess your feelings. Denseness is when the dude doesn't realise the girls feelings and the thing is usually the level of denseness reaches far and high up to retardism levels. Sorry but your brain must be missing cognitive abilities if it wouldn't be able to comperhend some situations that happen. So yes it is unrealistic. Saying how i truly feel is easy cuz when i want to do it i do it and it's happened before and it wasn't anything hard.I'm a straightforward person when it comes to this and that's the way i decided i want to be.It isn't anything hard to say i like you. The first time i had a crush i said it literally straight to her face. And yes i've asked girls out also not hard. |
| The beauty of humans is that they say one thing then do another, but at the same time that can also be their ugliest side. |
| There's nothing wrong with being dense. What's annoying is being overly dense, denser than titanium that you can't take a strong hint thrown in the middle of your face like the MC of infinite stratos. |

| the worst romantically-dense related trope IMO is lines like "what could this doki-doki feeling be? D:" like j/c >___> it's obv love what kind of people doesnt know love very unrealistic and in a bad way |

| the main problem lies not dense it self as character, but writer oftenly abused it as plot convinience to dragging the story... |

| MCs like that first need to lose their v-card. Ohh... I gave the hint there... :/ |
Heldengeist said: Because it's a cheap way to draw out the story. They are running the same circles for an eternity instead of portraying a believable relationship. This. Basically this. The character opens up the gate for contrivances galore. It's painful how the majority of romance stories are just spending the majority of their runtime getting the main pairing to hook up already. |

| Personally, I found it fun to read Infinite Stratos LN, specifically the parts where Ichika does not understand the girls' feelings. Hamudanu said: well because that is non sense normally if you very close with girl at least you will try to understand her even you didnt love her or just look her as friend You can try to understand somebody, but understanding a tsundere is pretty hard when you don't have the opportunity to observe her not being affected by you. Actually, I don't think it is expected for a teenage boy to actually succeed in understanding a girl. But shota protagonists like Negi Springfield are the best when it comes to not understanding.

| I can deal with inexperienced or/and shy MCs, since most anime are usually focussing more on first experiences and real love. It's harder to make a move on a girl, when you have a real interest in her and not just want to stick your dick into one of her holes. Getting rejected after you opened your heart is one of the most painful things, it's understandable to wait for the right oppurtunity or till you are 100% ready for it. and dunno if this is off topic. I also think that the behaviour of japanese boys differs a lot from western guys, it's most likely not as bad as it's portrayed in anime, though. But japanese viewers can probably relate better to those MCs, cause most of them are also inexperienced, while for some of us it's pretty normal to have some experiences at the age of 16-17. |

Kuma said: Exactly that. I couldn't have said it myself better. the main problem lies not dense it self as character, but writer oftenly abused it as plot convinience to dragging the story... I don't really mind dense (romantically wise) harem main characters, and I think I have never hated one in my life, but the situations their density entails can get frustrating. I don't understand that thing of the self insert either. I have never self inserted in any character no matter how cool or badass he/she looked, let alone a supposedly average guy. In the most cases, the most I feel is envy. |
 |
| Well realistically speaking being dense isn't that strange. But anime isn't real life, and from a third-person perspective it's annoying to watch. If sacrificing a bit of realism and/or relatability is what it takes to get a slightly more assertive and/or observant MC, that's a totally worthwhile tradeoff to me Kuma said: Also thisthe main problem lies not dense it self as character, but writer oftenly abused it as plot convinience to dragging the story... |
  |
| Because it's tiring to watch. A lot of anime are like that, imagine coming across 100 of them with the MC being exactly the same. |
 |
| I think it's fine if it was just a simple dense thingy. But it just out level stupid if you can't catch up all the Clear Clues given by all those female Mcs. No matter how dense you can be, its somewhat can be clear given the expression of female faces, body and words. Prolly in anime/manga it's just to drag thing down as a path to next stage. While it is right to humble your feelings down, it just devastating absurdity if you're taking 'All girls doesn't love/like me, i'm not that great etc' too far. That's bullshit. |
 |
| Dense but respectful Protaognist>>>>>Protagonist who sexually harasses women at every opportunity (Looking at you Rance and Osadai MC). |
| To drag the story for as long as possible without having the relationship move forward of course, how else will they fulfill their episode quotas while putting in the least amount of effort possible? |

| It's not really the fact that they aren't making the first move that bothers people, it's the one that's the type of guy to see a girl very clearly making advances on him and still be like "uhhh what does she want" |
 |
| Because some Mcs are such permavirginbetacucks they can't even have normal friendly conversations with attractive girls without playing the game of hope for sex and relationships without acknowledging that they exist, a lot like real people, so you do have a point OP, but it's still obnoxious to watch (also like real life) and yes I can ask a girl out on a date, I understand the MC struggle, I was 14 once, but it's really not that hard "Hey, do yo want to go to X place at Y time?" And then you go... or not, and nobody really cares either way, unless you're in high school, which many anime are set in. |

Its downright irritating to see a woman pretty much throw herself at the dude and he still doesn't get that the girl likes him or at the very least wants to have sex. If she was being subtle then I wouldn't mind, but if a girl is being that blunt about it. I find it that hard to believe that a guy can be that dense. |
| Because they are romantically dense... Duh! Shitposting aside, people generally hate it why an MC becomes too dense because you know, too dense MC = meaningless misunderstanding and just dragging the story for too long.. And everybody hates that. As for most harem MCs, I don't know about people, but I don't really hate them.. They go with the flow most of the time without giving it much thoughts and I find it pretty natural tbh.. |
 |
| well it is quite a tease and torture when the dense protagonist is going in the wrong direction while the viewers are aware of where it might go wrong. and they feel sentimental for the one who fell for this dense fool. |
| Sonic X is basically an isekai |
| well in my opinion its probably because i'd feel bad for the person i'm shipping them with... and because of there density they look insensitivity or seem stupid atleast to me and also makes you question what kind of person falls in love with these kinds of people in the first place right making the story less believable? but who watches these things for realism right? amirite :) Not forgetting to mention the case of how dense that certain character is... there are just some protagonists that are as dense or if not denser than a black hole to the point where it gets annoying.... |

| Well, that sounds like "so bad, is good" material at least xD If I will have a laugh or two, then it's okay. |

When a girl tells you that she wants to sleep with you, you should at least say something and not just run away. I'm not asking for someone like Rance (I do love based Rance) but give our MC the decency to make his feelings clear on the matter when he knows that a girl he doesn't like totally wants him. iI recall a moment in VII where Rance actually did just that when one of the female characters confessed to him. |

| Have you seen Shana season one ending? (for those who know I don't know how you watched the second season but I praise you dedication.) The fact that we the audience sat though 20+ episodes of Shana being a bitch we come to the confession scene we finally have given in to Shana cuteness as she muster up the courage to say I love you and because our protagonist is so dense and stupid we have to suffer through another season just to do the same thing again. Otherwise known as it is a waste of time to have dense protagonist because the Creator canusethat to just pad more unnessary stuff. Even if the girls is butt ass naked with nothing but a apron on cooking because they are by themselves for the night. The protagonist would still think it is just a study session. It does nothing for anyone and it would be more interesting if they weren't that way |
