| Im wondering if anyones been curious about what others look like in reality have you been idealizing the imagery of others? I used to I guess and those cute lolis and waifu tier anime girls always make me feel that person must be either a cute girl or a shy shouta looking guy in reality but I keep reminding myself not getting fooled by online appearance my sister was some kind of anti weebshit person and shs told me most people on forums like mal are usually either overweight otakus with glasses or underweight pp with weird or cringy personality generally most friends of mine think like these too and they tell me to stay away from those kind of pp (ur typical peer pressure case) do people on mal really fit the typical 'weeaboo' critica in terms of looks? personality? behaviors? I tend to be more of an optimist and believe at least half of the people are actually approachable in reality (not having unlikable personality or deviant traits) and maybe they are just acting unlikable on this site to entertain themselves and trigger pp off |
| Bunch of soyboys and whales, is the answer. |
 |
| No, I don't bother with that. You can find lots of good looking people in MAL though, speaking from experience |
| Sometimes I wonder what people are like irl but I don’t make assumptions And sometimes I think about how I’ve probably walked past other MAL users and would never know it. it trips me out |
  |
| I've seen what quite a few people on MAL look like, and I cannot recall any of them being overweight. |
  WORK IN PROGRESS ~The frog leapt forth to my lilypad memory.~ I was indoctrinated by an inamorata rabbit, Adenomata affronted. It was the verecund, dismissed creatures That I jubilated in most. This rabbit I would nurture, At the aiguille of esse, The anneal of noblesse. ❤️ Birdie ❤️ |

| I'm on a few discord servers that consist mostly of MAL users. Many are attractive looking and have nice personalities. I like the MAL community. |
 |
| I've met a couple of people from MAL IRL and none of them were fat, ugly or looked like otakus. It's a bit of a biased sample because the fat ugly otakus on this site are probably less willing to meet up, but still. Most people just look normal. |

Klad said: No, I don't bother with that. You can find lots of good looking people in MAL though, speaking from experience have you exchanged social media with them? or have you guys actually met irl? |
MayoiYui said: Yeah and number too, as for that idk, we're too far apartKlad said: No, I don't bother with that. You can find lots of good looking people in MAL though, speaking from experience have you exchanged social media with them? or have you guys actually met irl? |
| I just assume every user looks like their avatar. It's better than accepting the harsh reality of what MAL users actually probably look like. |
 What's the difference? |

It's a bit of a biased sample because the fat ugly otakus on this site are probably less willing to meet up, but still. Most people just look normal. That's certainly true but what we mean is that none of us are specially attractive so why would we want to know how each one looks like IRL ? |

No, most are very fun to talk to. You should get more involved with the community. |

Dark_Lord9 said: Rarely but when I do I remember that most of them ugly fatbois so I'm better not knowing. Plus it's better to judge people for what they say and how they act rather than how they look. not my doing but most pp tend to dislike anime fans who are fat and ugly... one of my friends try to approach another girl and that girl wasnt feeling comfortable talking to him since he wore a Darling In The Franxx T shirt another case Ive seen is another guy from my school who is quite tall and charmimg easily gets the attention of girls despite having his monogatari plushie with him (it happens during my hs cultural festival) |
| Probably a mix of the same type of people that were on GameTrailers: Decent people, assholes, varying mixes of the two, and nerds. |
 |
| I have the same haircut as the little boy from The Shining and 5 facial piercings, but I still act the same as I do online. |
 |
| I've described what I look like in several other threads already. I'm a lanky dude with long red hair, either a mustache with stubble or a full Jesus-like beard, and I like wearing metal tshirts and camouflage. Personality-wise I'm pretty friendly but a bit reserved until I get to know you, then I'm the same edgelord I am on here. Even though I'm 27 I'm pretty much the same person I was in high school! |

| No, not really. I've seen a lot of people I play games with online and they're far from the "stereotypical gamer" so I imagine it's probably the same with the weebs on here. |

| I tend to idealize the looks of who I talk to. But yeah, they're just normal ppl tho. Funny enough tho, the ppl I talk to on here and am relatively friends with, I don't think there would be a situation where we're friends in RL. I guess different social circles. |

| Not really, I go to enough cons that I know what most anime fans seem to like trend wise, lol. I imagine a lot of the people that I see at them are probably MAL users. |
 |
| I don't really think too much about how other people look on anonymous forums. That's the beauty of anonymity, I judge someone solely on what they post and whether shitty waifu they have as their avatar. |
| Having met at least 10 MAL users irl I can say that while certainly some are pretty nerdy and what you'd typically expect of a 'nerd' or 'otaku' or whatever, but there's plenty people who you'd never expect to be into anime purely based on their looks. I always love seeing selfies from MAL users or just fellow weebs in general. It's always something I like to see. |
| I was curious about some users,but I expected to be bunch of normal people who shares same thing. If you want to meet people,just go for Discord and you might be surprised. |
 |
| I asked a similar question on one of the threads on Forum Games, surprisingly enough lol. But for me, the answer is yes. I'm always curious to know what people look like irl. But I think I have a "good" idea as to what many people here will look like, using a convention I've been to as my basis for what your typical anime fan would look like / how they would be like irl. I wanna say I'm a pretty good judge of character in terms of reading people, but that's beyond the point. |

Nokkun said: Rather than curious about how they look, I would be more curious about how they appear in a direct face-to-face conversation. I mean, as @Railey2 said above, most people are likely to look just normal. But seeing their facial expressions, their gestures, their posture and hearing their voice without any filters could be more interesting than just experiencing the text and getting filtered pieces of their appearances through image and sound files. Hmm, I've been curious about how some people look in the past, as they were people I talked with quite regularly. |
| I just pretend everyone's a cute anime girl and the problem of reality solves itself. |
| Yeah, I'm generally curious. I've seen what some MAL users look like though, and they all looked like normal people. But I'm curious as to what some of the active forum users look like. |

Well, games that I play (MMOs) usually carry the "fat neckbeards who don't go outside" (e.g. Southpark episode of WoW) stereotype. But haven't seen a case of that yet. |

But what do you mean with when you get paranoid?Noboru said: Rather than curious about how they look, I would be more curious about how they appear in a direct face-to-face conversation.

But seeing their facial expressions, their gestures, their posture and hearing their voice without any filters could be more interesting than just experiencing the text and getting filtered pieces of their appearances through image and sound files. Hmm, I only wondered about that with people I got emotionally close to. That is one of the things I only think/notice when I really like the person or, when I get paranoid lol. However, with some people I get genuinely curious about their face (looks) cause they are from other parts of the world etc... Hmm, as long as I know their ethnicity (or ethnic background), I can more or less imagine how they might look like based on a multitude of pictures I have already seen. And those pictures aren't restricted to (super) models and actors, but they also or rather include the pictures of random passer-bys in a documentation about a foreign country and random passer-bys of foreign origin I have seen myself in person. |
