New Poll - Harem Dating
This particular poll was suggested almost two years ago by Vudoodude...(I don't really like any of the current suggestions)
PS: Valentine's Day is almost here
You can discuss this poll on our forums here:
http://www.mangaupdates.com/showtopic.php?tid=16552
If you wish to suggest poll ideas (and we need new, good ones!), go ahead and do so here:
http://www.mangaupdates.com/showtopic.php?tid=3903
Previous Poll Results:
Question: The best way to do manga is with
Choices:
1 author who draws and writes - votes: 3617 (31.8%)
2 authors who split up the story and drawing - votes: 1765 (15.5%)
Multiple authors who work on different parts of the manga - votes: 250 (2.2%)
Don't care - votes: 5727 (50.4%)
There were 11359 total votes.
The poll ended: February 6th 2010
To be expected, the "Don't Care" option won the most votes (including mine), but out of the ones who do care, 1 author seems to be the choice

The 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada are coming up!
Anyway, I never read a harem manga so I chose "Don't date anyone".

..I put date all of them at once..

i always thought 'why doesnt [instert guy] date all of the chicks' until i read Umi no Misaki. At that point i realized how much that actually bugs me. i useually like the shy girls.
I have one question is the one who "obviously likes you" the girl who the reader knows likes you but the main character doesnt or the side characters who throw themselves at you?

I think they was referring to the side character that just throws them self at you.

I don't know, I had the idea of a harem filled with the stock characters while the guy dates side characters who are never seen and only mentioned in passing.
Kind of a "Fuck you, I'm interested in real people," deal.
... Yea, I'd never make it as a mangaka.

So long as I don't have to date the guy who looks like a girl, the guy who looks like Freddie Mercury or the 200 yr old grandmother I'd go after the harem ending to the bitter end. What's the point of being in a harem manga and not getting an actual harem?
» Name-Undecided on February 6th, 2010, 2:27pm
Doesn't "Date the one you care for the most" make choices 3, 4, 5 and 6 redundant?
» SCKing88 on February 6th, 2010, 4:19pm
No. Just because you date a certain type doesn't mean that that's the person you care for the most. Let's think before me comment people? kthxbye

I feel pity of myself while trying to image myself in a harem situation...
» thevampirate on February 7th, 2010, 2:51pm
i would pity all of the single guys who dont have their own fanservice harem/army. i'd only go for one but the rest of the harem is fun while it lasts.
» SCKing88 on February 6th, 2010, 4:22pm
People who put date all of them at once clearly have no experience with women. That s**t isn't going to work.
What did I choose? I think other than the first choice all others are valid, but the last one makes the most sense to me. Why the heck would someone date anyone other than who they care for the most? How idiotic... I'am not going to put some fetish above my actual desire for a certain person.

It's just a fun poll and I don't want to date women anyways.
» kawaiiairbender on February 6th, 2010, 5:53pm
Lol. Just because you date only people you care for the most doesn't mean that other people don't just date for fun. Let's think before me comment people. kthxbye

Note that the poll asks "If you were in a harem manga, what would you do?", not "If in real life you had a choice between lots of different women, which type would you choose?". If you were in a harem manga and didn't equivocate and date (or at least lead on) all the girls, the manga would be over in a few chapters (or at least no longer a harem manga).
» kawaiiairbender on February 6th, 2010, 6:00pm
It took me a second to pick between the last two; in the end I picked the last one though. Someone fitting my ideal doesn't mean squat if I don't care for them. That said I still wouldn't date someone even if I cared for them if they didn't measure up to my standards.
also, a harem situation would probably suck. :/ Maybe not if it was historical... well still probably but it would be way more interesting.

"sporty tomboy"; WHERE!?
» Da-manta-ray on February 8th, 2010, 7:07pm
lol I thought the same thing XD anyway, I picked dating the side characters, screw the harem XD
» shadowfigher on February 7th, 2010, 12:22pm
I assume by "date", you mean "bang". I choose to "date" them all at ONCE.
» kami0001 on February 8th, 2010, 12:13am
Haha, I love your explantion. I would love to do that too

If I was in a harem manga I'd make an application for a transfer to a different genre... and hope that the transfer came through before the insanity began.
...
But if I had to date one then I'd certainly date the one that I care for the most. Just because I like one character of a certain moe stereotype doesn't mean that I like all characters of that type.

Anyone who says "Date the one you care for the most" doesn't deserves to be in a harem.
» oyzar on February 13th, 2010, 3:54pm
The options on the poll are severly limited. I would chose give/recive gifts, but not chocolate for example.
