Hahahaha very true. A little difference here and there is nice =).

Im a girl and I have to agree I like being with a guy that has the same interests. I always end up dating really cute guys that are into extreme sports or just guy stuff I guess. But I can never have a really interesting convo with them, one of my guy friends has a lot of the same interests as me so we always talk endlessly and end up reading the same sort of manga or playing video games. Maybe it is the fact that I have not found a otaku guy that I consider cute .

hahaha! That's soooo true I mean not only guys but girls are embarrassed to admit they like anime/manga!!

And another thing is that guys otakus (well the ones I have seem, anyways) are sooo into what their are going that they don't notice the world around them like when someone is staring at them for having cats ears in a college enviroment!!

They are way tooooooooooooo shy! Just because a girl looks hot doesn't mean that they are not willing to talk about anime! shock? well I for once would love to date someone who's into anime/manga so we can share some common ground but like the post above said I just don't want a guy right now, find one would be such a hassle, much less an otaku! ;)

________________

Oh my gosh thank you. Hot girls like anime too, and believe it or not some hot girls go for geeky guys. Saying that, I'm not hot, I'm average maybe borderline pretty, I think... >_> I've never been called ugly anyway. Also, I love shy/geeky guys because I'm shy and quiet but they never aproach you. So guys be ambitious.

You're not going to get an otaku gf if you don't aproach her. Because you kno

Also, like i said somewhere back in the thread alot of otaku's seem to have an obsession with asian girls and I'm not asian, not gonna happen ever. So I will stick to the guys with no *insert race* fetish. My first love *sniff* had an asian fetish, though he was was one of the most popular guys at my old hs (total closet otaku XD)

Also, how could I get more otaku guys to aproach me in the first place? for serious

whatphotoshopmypicswhatliesdoyouspeakof?! >D

wiser words have never been spoken! its true guys ... If you don't approch the girl first then she's probably not going to ask you for your phone number muchless a date!!!!!!
I yes, I once approched a guy mind you, he wasn't the cuttest guy on the block or someone I would have consider boyfriend material but I saw and heared him talking about Samurai X *he had one big beautiful background of Kenjin* and I was like oh my god!, so I said hi to him after much consideration and self-debate..... well let me tell you he blew it!!! totaly blew it!
Its not that I'm full of myself but I can tell you that any guy would be proud of calling me his girlfriend...and this dorky *yes, I have a weak spot for dorky, greeky, and Otakus* guy just he couldn't talk at all.. he was like ah?? the kind of face you make when someone thinks they are talking to you by mistake! I was like oh my lord never mind! I wanted a good anime/manga conversation but he was just out it. then I walked pass his friends and they would just point and elbow each other then smile like big idiots next time I saw him I hide from him and his friends I felt embarrass for them!
yes, I would like the day when a guy otaku aproach me first *don't worry women don't bite... well maybe a little *wink*

@kawaiiairbender and hey5820

I'm not sure of good ways to get guys to approach you, seeing as I am one, but a good way to get me to start up a conversation is to wear something anime-ish (like a shirt) or be reading a manga. It lets me know, "Hey she likes *random series* maybe I should talk to her!" I actually started talking to a girl in between classes outside the food court because she was reading a raw manga. I asked her what it was and all that, but she didn't seem terribly interested in talking about it. Much like the guy you explained hey5820. So it ended at that. Other than that I haven't found any other girls who would seem to be into anime... excluding my ex-gf and female friends. I read manga in public sometimes, and a lot of times at Barnes and Noble, but I don't get approached. So I turn it around on the girls now. Don't be afraid to talk to us guys, we won't bite either (unless you want us to ).

Edit: Ah I almost forgot. At cons, too. I have meet some cool girls at cons, but they already had a bf or something.

Well, I guess I can try to find guy otakus, but it is extremely hard to find any people remotely interested in manga/anime. People give me looks when they find out I like manga and anime. "Oh...that's nice. I'm too busy with other things to look into that," or, "Manga is just an excuse for teenagers to read comics." After talking to so many ignorant yet arrogant people, I've limited my conversations about manga and anime. There is a club, but the three guys there are younger, immature, and arrogant. Their appearances are also kinda sloppy. Is it too much to ask for an intelligent guy that's interested in manga/anime and has good hygiene?

Maybe I'm in the minority? but, speaking from a female perspective, I don't look for a guy just because he likes anime or manga. In fact, I think that is an extremely shallow measure to use as to whether someone is good girlfriend or boyfriend material. I mean, sure, anime and manga is a good icebreaker, but that's really not gonna make or break it when it comes to whether someone is genuinely interested in you. Even if you liked anime and were also good looking, that wouldn't be enough to make or break it, with me, at least. Conversations about more than anime and nerd culture need to happen, and it seems to me like the only thing otaku guys want to talk to me about is either how much they love Bleach or that it's a "refreshing change" for them to talk to someone "who is both smart and pretty." Make me choke on my own vomit already, please. I don't disagree with the sentiment that otaku guys are immature - but I make the same argument about otaku girls, too. Otaku in general seem really immature to me, both sexes unable to get over themselves [call it their "shyness" or what have you] and get real. On the otherhand, I'm a bit of a old lady myself, and at the ripe old age of 23 wearing anime t-shirts, or cosplay accessories to college seems incredibly juvenile to me. Don't get me wrong - I cosplay and nerd-out with the best of them, but I think everything has an appropriate time and place. And I don't think otakudom has a place when it comes to feeling out whether or not you're genuinely compatible with someone. My advice for otaku on the prowl? Take a good long look as to why you think you might be interested in someone. Is it because you caught them reading volume 6 of D-Grayman between classes? Is it because you think they're really good looking? Or is it because you've had some kind of indication that you might be fundamentally similar? Chances are, the person wearing a Naruto headband to college everyday, practically screaming how much of an otaku they are, is not good relationship material, either because they're too immature to take a relationship seriously or they're already involved with someone as obnoxious - er, rather - outgoing as they are.

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*
