Question about Waifu's

I'm gonna call on your expertise here, Yea Forums, as I've been chatting to someone over on /o/ who says they've been watching anime for 17 years so far yet haven't found a waifu.
Wanting to help, I pressed them further, and it seems that if their waifu
>Is in a relationship
>Is in love with someone
>Has a crush on someone
he'll preclude them from waifability
So a lot of characters he's been interested in end up hooking up or confessing to the MC and then he shitcans them. (He gave a list off the top of his head, which is kinda sad that he can remember them all while never having waifed them, maeks me think)
Even one girl from MonMusus, where every fucking girl has a crush on the MC, but it's too much for him.
He also said no to Desu because she's got a thing for her sister.

Is there any hope for this guy, Yea Forums?
I'm kinda thinking he's only interested in characters that show a capacity for romance, while at the same time excluding any characters that show a capacity for romance.

What about all of Yea Forums's waifs? Do they have romantic interests in show, and if so how do you deal with it, if at all, or just ignore it totally. Who gets by through self insertion as MC?

obvious troll is too obvious

I'm not a native here, I'm just passing by to ask a question.
Maybe I just got lucky as my waifu's a pure maiden, I'd just never thought about this before.

>they've been watching anime for 17 years so far yet haven't found a waifu.
That's fine, nothing wrong with it.

The solution is to aim the strike zone lower and go for pure lolis

Hello from waifuless /osg/user. I didn't think you actually do this.

>watching anime for 17 years
imagine saying that as if something worth bragging about

I can't leave a man like you in the cold. I must resort to desperate measures, asking Yea Forums.

Also .
You like lolis?
You fucking better

Y-you too

This is how I'd think most of Yea Forums would feel, I just wanted to confirm.

Its refreshing to see a serious waifu thread after all these years

WAIF PHILOSOPHY IS SERIOUS BUSINESS

Has he watched One Room? You are literally the MC.

Yes I have. None of the girls really did anything for me. OP pretty much hit the nail on the head. It's definitely not something that I do consciously, but at the same time I'm not going to 'make' myself get a waifu just for the sake of it. I think I'm too much of a purityfag for my own good.

Sounds like he should just give up entirely and become a yurifag at this point.

Its what you make of it, but its more fun when people take it seriously. Or at least when they pretend to. It also works as normalfag repellent

>that shitshow of an OP
>serious
The guy obviously just wants a waifu to fit in. You don't go out looking for one, you just happen to fall in love with a girl, whether she has a love interest or not. And if she does then you can just self-insert, or if you are really dedicated, take steps to become more like them. It's what I've been doing.

It's one of my guilty pleasures.

See:
We need more people in life taking waifus seriously.
I kinda look down on those who only have a waifu as a joke because le epic maymay, but if you have a waifu for serious, then over-exaggerating can be fun.
Not as good as if you genuinely believe it all, but it's still fun to have company.

That's not how you link crossboard.

Not everyone needs a waifu.

Fuck.
I get the feeling that he's not "looking" for one, it's just that he's never gotten to the point of falling in love with a character.
If he's a purityfag, that could stop him from developing feeling for a character who's already in a relationship.
For some reason he's averse to self-inserting as the MC. I was curious if anyone else on Yea Forums felt the same, but I'm just seeing what I expected, and that's that self inserting as the MC is just what everyone does.

(I realized about half a second after I hit post, and it was too late)

I think it's entirely possible to at least find some characters attractive, but not to want to waifu them.

I don't self-insert, ever. It just doesn't make sense -- the MC does things I'd never do, and we don't think in the same way, either.

To expand on self-inserting:

It's possible that your /o/ user just approaches shows while maintaining a distinct sense of self as an observer.

Lots of folks who watch anime like to imagine themselves in the place of characters in a story, or to insert themselves into the story's world. It's obvious that anime made for otaku understand this tendency, which is why we see so many bland, personality-free, pushover ("generic") male MCs, who make it easy for a viewer to graft onto or outright replace (e.g. If it were me I'd do Y instead of X). Power fantasy shows are also popular (currently, isekai) for similar reasons.

Self-inserting is hardly the only way to watch a show; simply setting yourself (the viewer) as an external presence looking into a story and you'll find it difficult to pull yourself into a story's setting, or to pull a character out into the real world. And if a viewer takes every facet of a show as-is, and doesn't try to remold any facet (e.g. potential waifu) into something they themselves prefer, then a character who is romantically interested in another character will be clearly off-limits.

The most commonly observable waifufag behaviour is them gushing about how their waifu is the cutest/best/etc. It's not necessary to add on or explore any facets of their character beyond what strikes the initial spark of attraction. Physical features are the most obvious point of attraction; they're also the least likely to sustain a long-term waifu (see whenever anyone complains about "seasonal waifus").

Other waifufags will require basic, surface-level personality features, especially those as described in the shows wherein the waifus were featured; the more devoted ones (who have a more solidified sense of what they want in a mate) will tack on additional features to suit their preferences. Those who found their waifu at an earlier stage of their personal development would have had simpler requirements for attachment and fulfillment, and that attachment may carry for longer as a result (waifufags with 90s-era or earlier waifus, etc.).

The resolution of in-universe relationships varies. Some waifufags deny the existence of other romantic interests, or disregard them altogether (either because those characters were weakly defined, or the waifufag himself doesn't care about the specifics). The propensity for self-insertion in the purposefully-vaguely-characterised male MCs means sometimes that "kicking out" the existing romantic interest isn't even necessary. Sometimes the waifufag himself has such a weak sense of self that they can mold into the in-universe romantic interest.

Great thread, I was just wondering the other day if people still took waifufaggotry as hard as they did back then.

As for me, I find it hard to feel worthy enough for any girl I fall in love with. I had a waifu back when I was a teen, but as I grew up, it started becoming more and more difficult to imagine her reciprocating my feelings. But while I don't consider her my waifu anymore, I still try my hardest to become someone who can.

It's fine that he hasn't found anybody 2D he is in love with. I don't really think you should push him on if he doesn't want one, that's kind of like forcing someone to fall in love and it doesn't work and it winds up hurting both parties. (Yes, you can still hurt 2D women and that isn't cool) He does seem like he just likes anime and thinks certain characters are cool/cute/whatever which is more than fine. I think it's better than saying "X is my waifu" for a few days, then switching up or God forbid having multiple. My beautiful wife is in love with the main character of her series, but I still love her so much. I view her as the same person, I don't alter her traits or anything about her, just that she's in love with me (because she is). I even have art saved of her and the MC just because of how happy she is portrayed in them, not a cuck thing. Also, this is my wonderful wife, and one of my favorite images of her.

>I even have art saved of her and the MC
I do this too, mostly because I think it's a well done drawing, but I always put it in a separate folder for whatever reason.

>Self-inserting is hardly the only way to watch a show; simply setting yourself (the viewer) as an external presence looking into a story and you'll find it difficult to pull yourself into a story's setting, or to pull a character out into the real world
In this case I'd like to politely disagree.
In the case of Haruhi (I'll use this because Yuki's mai waifu), I never viewed myself as a self insert, I viewed Kyon (protag) as someone who in the story had just as much going for him, and as much of a personality, as any of the other characters.
However I still saw Yuki as her own entity, and totally waifable. She's got enough of a character and personality that even if you remove her from the setting of the show, she's still the same person. While the events of the show molded her personality, I can still easily think of her in isolation.
And I don't even necessarily separate her from her place in the show.
As the show was set on-location, you could say, both the main setting of the show (the school), the external shots of building, cafes, even her apartment building, they're all IRL places that when I'm in Japan I can go and visit.
Fuck, half a life goal of mine is to purchase the apartment she lived in in the show to protecc it.
While I understand clearly that the series is fiction, when regarding her as my waifu I don't see the separation between the show (fiction) and my thoughts/fantasy. They both have the same bearing on the IRL world, why can't they be the same thing?

>Fuck, half a life goal of mine is to purchase the apartment she lived in in the show to protecc it.
What's the other half?

>And if a viewer takes every facet of a show as-is, and doesn't try to remold any facet (e.g. potential waifu) into something they themselves prefer, then a character who is romantically interested in another character will be clearly off-limits.
I don't argue that it would be difficult to take a character in a series and consider them your waifu if both they are in a relationship in show and you don't wish to fundamentally change who they are, I'm just surprised waifuless user is only interested in girls who are already romantically engaged in show.
>the more devoted ones (who have a more solidified sense of what they want in a mate) will tack on additional features to suit their preferences.
I'd like to think I didn't need to modify my internal view of my waifu to shape her into what it is I find desirable because, by absolute change, my waifu was already the absolute embodiment of everything that drives me in life.
This was never about requirements for me, it was simply falling in love, not with a characters looks or basic personality, but in love with absolutely everything about them.

>The propensity for self-insertion in the purposefully-vaguely-characterised male MCs means sometimes that "kicking out" the existing romantic interest isn't even necessary.
I'd say this is the case nine times out of ten, in some shows the MC's patently there to be replaced by the viewer, and thus it doesn't make sense for a viewer to get angery at the MC for fugging their potential waif.
It'd be like playing a video game, fucking a girl in that game, then getting jealous of the player character because he's fucking the girl, not you.

Don't be too hard on yourself, but the day you can consider her your waifu again will be a good day.
I'm sure she'd love you and support you none the less

>I don't really think you should push him on if he doesn't want one
I'm doing anything but push him, it's just that if he'd been watching anime for 17 years and hadn't yet found someone then I thought it may have been valuable to step in and check if there was anything we could identify that might be getting in the way. From his own comments, it seems that his issue was that he's only attracted to girls who show romantic inclinations, while at the same time not being able to consider them his waifu.
Now that this has been identified, hopefully he'll be able to look at characters in a new light, and either not be so purity-obsessed when it comes to characters with in-series relationships, or if he can't, then pay more attention to all the other characters in a given show.

In the end this thread has achieved what I wanted it to, we found something that's stopping user from getting a waifu, and now that he's aware of it hopefully he can look at characters in a new light.
>I think it's better than saying "X is my waifu" for a few days, then switching up or God forbid having multiple.
There's nothing worse than someone who's unfaithful or waifuhops because they don't understand what a waifu is and is just doing it becuase ironic animay maymay, but I think user's far past that.
>I even have art saved of her and the MC just because of how happy she is portrayed in them
I do the same.
Even though my waif and the MC aren't in a relationship in cannon, I don't think I'd care if they were

>waifuless user is only interested in girls who are already romantically engaged in show
Could be that the user can't imagine a girl being in romantic love without seeing it first. It'd really have to be completely made up based on what little bits of personality are shown, and that's difficult for some people.

>in love with absolutely everything about them
At some point I think you'd really need to start extrapolating the possibilities for what a person (waifu) would be like or do... or so I'd say, but some source materials go very deep into detail. As an example, you might have a shared/similar experience of some sort, which shows how the waifu reacts in some broad set of situations, and so on; these bring out the more nuanced parts of a personality that can't be conveyed in the usual way (such as cliched, over-the-top obvious "I am this character archetype!" sort of scenes).

>it doesn't make sense for a viewer to get angery at the MC for fugging their potential waif
And yet it happens so very often, regardless of how self-insert-friendly that MC is. It's like they want the MC to be there to guide them through the door, and then they can take the cake for themselves.

Making connections to the real world is an important quality. A character who is able to "survive" being detached from the show-as-a-show, and into the realistic parallel of the setting (meaning, not abandoning their relationship to "their" own world), would require traits that are well-defined enough to not be reliant on other elements of the story. Most importantly, they need to be able to exist without contact with the other characters in the story.

>only attracted to girls who show romantic inclinations, while at the same time not being able to consider them his waifu
How would this work with girls who show those inclinations but take themselves out of the race, if there ever was one?

There are a few girls I have considered but ultimately I don't think I could be tied to down to one girl for so long so I don't have a waifu.

It's better to stay searching until you truly find the one that seems perfect for you anyways. Finding a waifu is something special and shouldn't just be looking at 50 girls and saying they're all your wives. It's better to stay free and appreciate cute girls for a while first.

Half of them are older male figure cocksleeves like Rin and the other Rin, or sluts like Kuro.

I'm in love.

>It'd really have to be completely made up based on what little bits of personality are shown, and that's difficult for some people.
Someone can show a capacity for kinship and affection without romance per say, like how they treat their family, pets, or friends.
That said, he did shortlist Desu but precluded her because she has a bad case of Yuri for her sister, so even then, limiting.
Still, a character like Madoka would work, she shows love, affection, and compassion without being romantically interested in someone, even if they're romantically interested in her.
>these bring out the more nuanced parts of a personality that can't be conveyed in the usual way (such as cliched, over-the-top obvious "I am this character archetype!" sort of scenes).
I'd say it could almost go down to if the characters from an anime vs something like a light novel. In one, the author can convey a much more detailed view, whereas in an anime, you're almost left guessing their true motivations.
>And yet it happens so very often, regardless of how self-insert-friendly that MC is.
I use my game example here. No-one's doing it for the faceless protag in any of Illusion's games, no-one's pissed at Luka in MGQ, they are there to be your window into the media.
Just because in a game you directly control them vs anime where the writer leaves them blank doesn't mean they're not the exact same thing.
>It's like they want the MC to be there to guide them through the door, and then they can take the cake for themselves.
So many shows do this though, where the MC's surrounded by girls he never fucks and that never fuck him. However foreveraloneanon didn't list any such shows.

>Most importantly, they need to be able to exist without contact with the other characters in the story.
I'd argue most well written characters could be dropped into any situation and reasonably expected to conceptually survive, hell, this'd even be a great litmus test for if a characters well developed or not.
Put them in a different situation, and if they loose nearly all their unique traits and adapt a new relevant personality, then they're probably a shit character.
Think of any Isekai where the male protagonist was a boring faceless egoless fuck before entering the world, and only then gained their personality and unique traits.
We do worldswap all the time in fiction, and if a predeveloped character goes into a different world they seldom loose their unique traits.
If a moeblob could survive such a thing, I don't know, but I think any well written girl could, without loosing what fundamentally made her "her" in the fist place.

>and into the realistic parallel of the setting
Not everything is fantasy, and even some fantasy is heavily rooted in reality.
Characters from your average non-supernatural crime drama could exist perfectly fine in our world, because they are written in to a fictional, yet realistic, version of it.
>Most importantly, they need to be able to exist without contact with the other characters in the story.
If someone's personality is limited to how they respond to known others, then they don't have a fucking personality.

>It's better to stay free and appreciate cute girls for a while first.

Unironically try out some mobage. That's where I found my waifu. You might have better luck there too.

>He also said no to Desu because she's got a thing for her sister.

I'm the /o/ faggot OP is talking about. I appreciate the serious responses in the thread. One of my biggest issues is that, knowing a girl has an inclination of a crush on the MC, how can I tear her away from that? Take Takao from Bluesteel for example. Sure she never 'gets with' the MC, but she makes it pretty clear she likes him. Who am I to deny her who she wants to like? I don't want her to have to settle for someone else jsut because she can't be with MC. It's certainly a juxtaposition where I am interested in girls who display an interest in romance, however how it usually transpires (crushing on a character) inevitably leads to me not being able to go further with her. I an certainly jealous of all you happy anons being content with your respective waifus, just as I am jealous of MCs (blatant selfinsert or not) having such amazing girls fawning over them.

By no means am I trying to force a waifu, I believe in time I will find the right girl for me. I just struggle at times trying to understand/believe that it will ever happen.

>tfw too much of a brainlet to discuss waifu Philosophy

>Who am I to deny her who she wants to like?
You just envision that she slowly loses interest in MC and starts liking you instead. Or, you can treat her as the character she was before developing the crush on MC.
Anyway, a waifu is a thing that comes to you naturally. It can be disheartening thinking you'll never find her, but one day you'll realise one day that you were in love the whole time.
At least, that's what happened with me and Dia.

Let yourself crush on a waifu before you see her do romantic shit herself. Pretty simple.
I'd say this is a solved problem. Even then, lots of people here didn't realize their waifu was their waifu at first, like the Yukifag, so if you just watch a show and move on you mightn't have time to develop feeling for a character.
You can also say "Well, she may have a slight crush on the MC, but if I was in that situation she'd totally love me more than him".
The blackpill is that a waifu is just your interpretation of a fictional character created by someone else. Your perfected waifu is no more real than what the author originally created her as, they're both metaphysical concepts.
I frequent /k/, the number of guys there who project the T-Dolls from Girls Frontline onto their own guns is, well, interesting.
They don't necessarily wanna fuck the character that's presented in the game, they wanna fuck a gun, and the characters in game are representations of those guns, thus, each persons interpretation of any given
character varies wildly.

Anyway, if you can manage to get a crush for a character that's not in a relationship, even if they're not waifu material, that's a start.
Then look for girls like Madoka/suiseiseki who show displays of affection and emotion without romantic interest, and pay more attention to them.

I don't wanna ask, but I wanna ask, , of the not-quite-waifus you've seen and thought of in the past, are there any that really stick out to you still? That pop into your mind from time to time out of nowhere?
When someone says "waifu" to you, are there any girls that pop into your head before you shun the thought?

I was kind of similar to you, not having a waifu for over a decade, though I wasn't as fixated on girls who were into romance. Then I went into mobage hell where I found my waifu, although it took me over a year to realise it. Now most people will tell you not to do what I did, and I don't blame them — suggesting to play more mobage isn't the best advice to give under any circumstances — but I regret nothing.

Do you think it's okay to leave your waifu if it just isn't working for you anymore?

I personally don't and would stay true to her even if loving her was actively making me miserable but I know I'm a special case and probably a bit fucked in the head so I don't hold other waifufags to that standard.

If you drift apart you can just say she was probably never your waifu to begin with

I honestly commend your efforts, but I just couldn't do it. I've only done it once and it felt pretty bad, but I am much happier now.

Perhaps but it might also be that I changed over the years and turned into someone else.

...That said, I could never imagine my waifu not being my waifu anymore. She's just too fucking close to me.

It probably is, but don't do it too often.

This My biggest accomplishements are thanks to her. Trying to separate her from me would be akin to take away one of my arms or legs at this point.

3D girls turn to shit, they change. Your waifu doesn't, she loves you for who you are no matter what. Why would you ever stop loving her?

Having a waifu is something you just fall into when you encounter a character who you can emotionally connect with. If you try to actively to find one, then you'll never find her because this can't be forced to occur.

I haven't had to change my waifu once but I can understand the feelings of those who do change their waifu under the most extenuating of circumstances. Of courses, seasonalfags should just die in a fire.

>Why would you ever stop loving her?
We sometimes change in ways that is beyond our control.

>When someone says "waifu" to you, are there any girls that pop into your head before you shun the thought?
The list I originally gave to OP generally pop into my head; some moreso that others. If I had to say who gets through of more than the others, they would be: Kurumi Tokisaki, Takao, inner Moka and Manako. There have been plenty of others girls around that I would start to 'crush' on, that I would quash immediately as I knew that it wouldn't work out due to their heavy interest in the MC.

I'm not in a rush to find a waifu. I've always though that, when the time is right, I will find her and she will find me. I

This, not everyone is that lonely.

For me, I didn't need a waifu, which is why I was fine going without one for so long. But just because you don't need one doesn't mean you can't get one. And I did get one even before I knew it.

is mahiro retarded?

Firstly, falling in love with a cartoon character is not a normal thing that everyone should expect to happen to them, you have to be pretty crazy for that to happen. It's definitely not something that one should try to force if it doesn't feel right.

Regardless, my waifu has a crush in her series but he ends up with somebody else. It never used to bother me but increasingly I get jealous when I see her with him, which makes watching her series difficult, but otherwise it's not an issue. People have crushes throughout their lifetime and in most cases nothing comes of it, and they end up with somebody else, that's just part of life. I think most people just self insert though.

>tfw your waifu is the dense harem lead

Well, it works.

I almost prefer that the waifu has a male interest in their show so that I don't have to imagine how they act in relationships or during the confessions and stuff. It's easier to self-insert for my imagination. It gets weird though, like for me, when the generic self-insert MC is actually an interesting and dynamic part of the series, but it doesn't stop me from waifuing whoever I want.

Shirou is a good person, and so if I act and treat myself like he does I'm both a better individual and a better husband. I treat all women like her does, respectfully misogynistic.

Big question: can you actually have a "waifu" if you are in a relationship with a real woman?

Get out

Only if you consider the waifu to be an idealized representation of your actual gf. Then they're one in the same.

No.

Do looks matter in this case? I think it's more about personality, or even the dynamics of the relationship.

Oh no, a turbo-autist on Yea Forums is telling me to leave. Here's a (You)

>Bad Machinery
EXCELLENT TASTE

I think you're making a serious mistake, here. The Waifu is inherently unattainable given her nature as a 2D being -- you won't be taking her away from anything. Instead, like the courtly romances of old, the point is to love without reciprocation, to yearn without completion. A Waifu is something you follow, not somewhere you reach.

This. A waifu is an ideal, it doesn't need to be attainable. Some random faggot MC shouldn't get in the way of that. Especially considering that most MC's are just there for self-insert anyway.

>earnestly wants to make you happy
if you'd turn that down you're braindead, even if she's actually a tentacle horror. that just makes it better, in fact.

Not really. You can only really focus on one or the other, not both.

How hard is it to achieve lucid dreaming to meet your waifu?

Very difficult. It only happened twice from months of practice, and I would wake up right after getting really excited.

Looks matter less than personality, since anime characters are all drawings anyway, so they can be separated by some creative license, if you will.

Getting a waifu from recommendation instead of finding one sounds like some weird arranged marriage blind date thing?

I tried something like this and it opened my mind to nightmarish horrors of the dreamscape, so better not.

You can't waifu an eldritch abomination.

shit thread

It took me a long time to finally discover what love actually felt like, and I can honestly say that nothing in life makes me happier then seeing my waifu's smile after a long shitty day at work, knowing that's she's the only thing that matters and without her I would probably kill myself

That only happens if you fall into sleep paralysis or try to do shit like look in mirrors while lucid dreaming.

Ah well, I was trying to see my waifu so I tried a bit of everything

not with that attitude
