Why do people continue to name their "waifus" (plural) instead of saying they have 1 waifu and separately a harem?

It doesn't make logical sense.
It would be more likely to cause fights if every girl is elevated to waifu status.
So why not say 1 of them is the waifu and the rest are sex friend harem?



I have a scientist waifu who looks like Rias Gremory except for the eyes.
She is kinky and would most likely want to study my sexual performance with other girls. Her name is Michelle Davenport and is from a western visual novel. (Time Tenshi) (I played the 2020 remake, not the 2015 version)

Michelle:



2 of the girls in my high quality harem: (Keira from Sakura Fantasy (VN) and Nio Hashiri from Akuma no Riddle)

Maybe some viewers don't have a favorite or best girl and they love all their waifus similarly and equally between them.

In that case that would make the other girls mad just the same if you're indecisive like that.

Do you see the point I'm making? It's illogical based on what you described, and it's illogical based on the point I described.

They're not thinking about consequences of doing things that way.

Yeah it doesn't really make sense, but everyone is free to choose how they interact and approach their waifus even if it's illogical.

I'm not really interested in having a harem, don't have another fave that I would say has Waifu status to me either.
I've also limited myself to only 2 for some time now, and to me their equals, but if they were in-character, neither would want to be my Waifu. I'm sure they'd fight lol, but not over that.

Maybe people just have different levels & values of their Waifus & other favourite female characters...idk?

it's Very Simple and Concise over here at M.T. Land... there is My Wife♥




And then there is my No. 1 "Waifu"
Holding a special place as my Wife's Best Friend, and just about the most Pure-Hearted Anime Android of all time;





And finally; the rest of the Family♥

Waifus (plural) promotes polygamy and the Church doesn't approve that.

I am muslim so it makes perfect logical sense to have more than one waifu.

Not when you select waifus that are ok with harems. There wouldn't be issues then.

Another possibility
And who is to say the waifus gets transported to your world? If they happen to exist in a long distance relationship which means staying in their universe, unless they're of god like diety beings that can travel between universes or mind readers, then they wouldn't know of the other waifu's existences. Now if you like waifus that had crossovers, you're out of luck with the exception of the first statement I made above.

You're not listening.

My waifu I believe is okay with harems. I'm still NOT going to call the other girls waifus, though. Because I'm only interested in the others for sex.

My waifu will collect scientific data on my sexual performance with the other girls. I care about them less. Meet and fuck, then go home.

Sex friend indicates they're not valuable other than sex which I view it more as disrespectful than the term waifu which implies you show more care for her outside of her body/whatever else rocks your lust and she at least has multiple traits that would check more boxes of what you view as waifu material.

I wouldn't keep saying my other waifu in front of the waifu by default, but this is being posted in a forum with assumption that it's not a scenario in which your waifu checks. Just one of those situations like you can talk with friends or random strangers but not that you would talk with to your wife or girlfriend or family member

Well I don't care about the others outside of their body.

So I will never call them waifus. And I don't believe any person can honestly have multiple characters they see as waifu material.

There can only be one waifu.

I don't know about you, but here where I live the country supports polygamous relationship. So there's nothing wrong with that.

Maybe they value those feelings between all of those characters equally. Maybe they would rather not think of their waifus as mere concubines. That's the best I could come up with as someone who does not have a waifu or a husbando.

You're arguing semantics. Why would it matter if you call every girl your "waifu" or just one of them? A harem is still a harem, whether one has a special title or not. And if the difference is that the one is not there exclusively just for the sexing aspect, then would that not create issues either way with one getting special treatment over the others?

People just don't have a concept of what a waifu is anymore. Your seasonal trash girl that you will have forgotten after the season ended isn't your waifu, that's just your seasonal trash girl. And everyone who has more than one waifu is a clown anyway.

Even for a degenerate like me, this kind of discussion is cringe. Why take these things way too seriously? Haha

I always thought that calling an anime girl a waifu meant that you find her especially attractive. I never considered it a relationship status since you can't even talk or have a physical relationship with them.

Years or decades from now, this kind of discussion may become relevant once interactive digital AI waifus are invented, like the one from Blade Runner 2049.

There are many out there who believe "waifu" is synonymous with "anime girls I think are attractive", which is an egregiously watered down application of the term that reduces it to being nearly meaningless. It's actual definition is closer to that of a wife, or a beloved soulmate.

Because claiming a set of characters from separated shows make up a "harem" of yours is kinda lame.
