Considering that where I live is a xenophobic little country that mixes up manga with J-rock with Pokemon with sushi with origami, bringing up the issue of "manga" usually turns out like "oooh that stuff with lots of big eyes and boobs" "the stuff with ****"the creepy stuff" and the most common of all "grow the fuck up, are you STILL watching cartoons?"
So it's a wise idea not to bring up the subject between people I don't know too well. I test them by just bringing it up casually but 99% of the time I failed completely *sigh*. It's my main source of receiving weird looks.

You dont know what manga is, DIE!!
Poll
You promote it seriously exm. (Hey you, I watched Lucky Star yesterday, ask me about it?)
You insert it into the conversation very subtly (Nice day today? Oh very nice, nice, nice, I could just watch anime on days like these!)
Those who dont know anything about M/A are not my friends
I dont care, my M/A related issues disappear when I leave my room
Other (explain yourself)

I know those looks, when I try to bring up M/A in my conversations they all say "Shut up, weirdo!!"

I don't really care. Manga is just a hobby of mine, it's not my life. Not that I'm hiding it or anything, but you wouldn't even know I'm into manga if you met me. 
So true~ xD
I think I talk with only one person about M/A, but that's it. With the others I don't mention a word about it, and I would be like the less likeliest to have such kind of hobby. o.O

I work at a game company. There's a large percentage that watch anime reguarly. The majority of the rest of my friends are Asian, many lived overseas. Thus, I fall in the category of, "Coincidentally, all of my friends have watched at least one anime in their lifetime."
Of course, anime/manga's only one of my hobbies. I have plenty of others that don't deal with it at all (primarily games: video- and board- and card-), so I don't really care one way or another.
Unfortunately, going out and getting drunk at a bar isn't one of my hobbies, so it makes it somewhat more difficult for me to pick up chicks, especially since I'm in the one place in the US with the highest male:female population ratio.

What do you live in Alaska? And going out and getting drunk is fun in and of itself
Yeah my friends know about manga/anime, but that is not y they are my friends

So I'm kinda lost.
The thread title has nothing to do with the poll choices.
