I've been curious (and terrified) to know why some of you don't have a waifu yet.

Since there is no definitive description of what should be a waifu, pretty much anyone can have a waifu with the meaning they want to attach to them. Waifu culture is a culture of freedom and contentment. So how come people still refuse to embrace waifu culture?

Back in the days, I had a crunch on Boa and Saeko. I would never call them Waifu, as i just had something really similar to a crunch on them. That's all.

it was up to the point I started to play FGO and Azur Lane and I was sick and even as I was suck my reality went into deeper and deeper and even deeper in hell.

I started to really take Anime as a way to escape away from reality and the characters that I liked the in the game I played, started to mean even more and more and more and more.

Right now I have a few characters that means the world to me, it's a bit of a reason to go up each day. It puts a smile on my face when I see new fanart or open my phone where I have wallpapers of them.

The characters I would call waifu and Anime have saved my life I would say, as life have really been bad, really bad.

So for me I needed like a push in real life before I got a waifu.
I got a few figurens of them, miljon of fanart saved on my computer and have them as wallpapers where I can.

Maybe, it's hard for people to take this huge liking into a character, as it was for me.

Why have a waifu? Why bring into fantasy the problems of RL woman? I prefer dating boys/having husbandos because we (guys) are less problematic, that's why I have a real life husband and a couple husbandos, mainly neko/kitsune boyos that I'm attracted to and no, I don't consider them significant other. I already have a real one thank you very much.

This might happen... in your dreams. I am a smart man who knows what I want and manage to achieve my goals. Having a waifu is the epitome of a healthy life. But I guess it's too hard for you to fathom. I bless you.

Because they think it's cringe and weird, I guess? IMO, they're missing out. What if their wife/gf leaves or cheats on them or they still fail at getting a SO? They'll have nowhere to go and will probably fall into despair and go insane. Then next thing you know they'll end up in the news for shooting at people.

Many people don't like to share. There are only so many female characters in existence. MAL has about 150K characters (ACD has 50K) and only a small fraction of those are waifuable females. And there are more than 10 millions of users. So if your waifu is (say) Isuzu Sento, you don't have a whole waifu. You're lucky if you get a nail clipping.



EDIT: For the record, I wouldn't say no to Sento's nail clippings.

But in that case only their bodies are multiplied. They still share all the same soul. And when you choose a waifu, you're not interested in her body but only in her soul, right?
