I think one of the reasons is that I don't know a single male that isn't an utter and complete idiot. I mean, every guy I know that's into manga and/or anime only cares about big swords and big boobs. Yeah, try to talk with that bunch of people. And that's 99% of the male populace. G.W. Bush is a perfect example of a standard male here.

Please don't stereotype.. You're offending my manhood.. *begs for a hug of someone*

Yeah, try to talk with that bunch of people. And that's 99% of the male populace

Anyways, CatGrr, are you male or female..? o.O

Please refrain from using strong language..

Is my nick too subtle of a hint? Really?

This at least proves your case.

Also, try to search for the one thing common with people like Hitler, Mao Zedong, Stalin, Charles Manson, Pol Pot, Napoleon and the like. Yeah. Try to give me one example of a man that isn't like that to a lesser extent.

We (two otaku's) have read your post and have to say a few things about it:

You say that otaku's only talk about anime/manga and games but the opposite is true. We barely speak about it except with another otaku when we have seen a new anime or something. To non- otaku's we never speak about anime/manga and games. Also you say that we can't talk about other things besides otaku- stuff but this isn't true either. Cuz else we wouldn't speak at all.
You can't just say that otaku's are less mature and more irresponsible then "normal guys" cuz this just depends on the guy itself. And also only the extreme otaku's would rather buy an anime/manga/game then a box of condoms. The biggest amount would probably buy the second, the box of condoms.
Another point is that we otaku's have a job, and it's not because our parents cut us off. We have the jobs too finance things "normal guys" would buy, like a drivers license and a 32" LCD tv. We don't just spent our money on manga/anime or games.
Also about the date thing:
When somebody would ask for a date or just going out, we wouldn't hesitate to break up the party. We don't only have otaku friends, most of them are "normal people" so nobody comes by my place to watch anime. Why would we go to somebody else to watch anime, while we can watch it at home. About the money for the date, we always have enough because we don't use all our money on anime/manga/games. Second, we don't like to be broke. Last, if we unexpectedly become broke, we can always rely on our "secret stash" if neccesary. About the list, what list?!
You also say that guy otaku's are stuck too much in the "manga/anime world", but this also depends on the person(how extreme he is). But this can also occur with a girl otaku. And here you say that guy otaku's only do otaku stuff, but we're otaku's and do non- otaku stuff too. And about how much non- otaku stuff you do, depends on how much of a otaku you are.

This was the post, enjoy!

It's just as unfair a stereotype as saying that "99% of girls are completely superficial, all they care about is looking good & having a good-looking boyfriend".

Sorry I digressed...a lot.

I believe that either the female okatus fear being ridiculed for their interest in anime and either hide or lie about it. So it doesn't rank very high on the list of things to look for when looking for common ground while dating.

my association with otaku is a guy who drules over hentai games all day in his dark room with no shower.
