I can't interact with small girls without having to suppress my erection

It hasn't done much. The Internet is responsible for ruining my life not anime.

its most definitely changed my perception of meeting women. i remember love hina mos def probably fucked me up when i was young. kinda gets you into the mindset of, oh fuck this shit, someday im gonna find a girl like that or watever someday, like look at keitaro. but psh, eh, i was 13/14, and now im makin up for lost time.

what social life

Almost the same difference, unless you buy your anime.....You don't right?

Everything sounds familiar to me ;_;

At first a direct relationship between the two existed - as anime watching went up, socializing went down at an equal rate. Now their is little to no socializing regardless.

It hasn't changed it all that much. I've always been somewhat shy, even before I got into the stuff. The only difference is that now I have to explain the posters and figures to people when they come over.

For me, it led me to my association to two anime clubs, one in DC and one in the University of Maryland, and going to anime conventions, where I get to know people who have similar interests instead of having beer at bars and having sex.

It also introduced me to rave music.

Actually, I've made more friends cause of anime than I've lost.
I live in fucking British Columbia.
Place is asia town, so it's not rare to come across otakus.
Even if they're the lame watch what's on TV type.

YOU WATCH INUYASHA TOO?!!?!1!/1/1/1.....OH god that was a horrible joke, and I feel horrible for saying it.

>>16780625
Wow I was about to bang this really hot girl but then I couldn't do it because I play too many hentai games and couldn't get it up for real girls! Get this though, she was a lesbo anyway! God, good thing my life remains unaffected by anime right?

pic related; it's my talking to my loser neighbor

At first I was one of those loud and obnxious "glomp!!" otaku types, but I quickly matured and settled for being a shy and awkward person.

>>16780944
At one time, I did.
But it went downhill so fucking fast I gave up.

Cacasian living in remote Northern British Columbia.
Most of my friends are white people who are in an anime club. (A un-stereotypically awesome one, though)

But I might be moving farther south (where I presume you are).
Are you referring to the white population too? Or mostly asian?
Are my chances of making asian anime-nerd friends is really low when I'm white?

in a positive way. animu alone that got me interested in racing arcade (initial d), thus got me into competition and such.

>>16780648
win. fucking win.

>>16780993
Vancouver.
Home of the most hilarious looking storefront ever.
Good place to get imported toys though.

>>16780864
eh? someone else from BC? cool.

Anime hasn't massively affected my social life; It just means that I hangout with other people who like it, same thing with video games and /tg/ stuff.

My Asian friends call me an egg, I don't know if I should face palm or lol.

>>16780993
Bleah, really sleepy. Sorry for not getting to the point.

Basically, as an anime nerd, can I easily make white anime friends down there too? Or just make friends in general by being a social-anime otaku?

Lucky you guys, I live in shit California. It's pretty much a taboo to even mention anime or manga, unless of course it's an Asian person.

>>16780993

I run an anime club in BC, about 50% of our members are loud annoying weeaboos with fucking horrible taste taste in anime. 20% are quiet Asian girls who keep mostly to themselves and rarely talk to anyone. another 20% are people I've managed to get interested in a few good show, outside the generic shounen shit they usually watch. And the last 10% are my buddies; who watch a shit ton of anime, have pretty good taste, and play visual novels....among whom I am the only white dude....

Man, I just realized that a lot of Asian people treat me like I'm Asain.

>>16781162
it's the same anywhere atlest be happy that you get nice weather all year roungd.

>>16781319

One question, are the Asian girls cute little hikikomories? Or fat YAOI fangirls who don't like talking?

>>16781420
>Asian Girls
Most asian girls are skinny as fuck.

>>16781416

Screw nice weather, I love the rain and snow. But as they say, the grass is always greener on the other side.

I have been an anime fan since I remember. It was with me since the beginning, therefore it cannot change anything in me

Man, California weather would drive me crazy.
Too hot. I like it cold.

I compear real girls to anime girls too. Real girls are just too boring. Where I live (in a rich place, bawwww) girls are totally retarded, some in one of my classes didn't even know what "50000:50" was, she thought it was 2000.

And they mostly use too much makeup since they are really ugly without makeup. I have yet to see some girls with as perfect looks as anime girls.

And all they talk about is what party they're going to and how drunk they will get, or about make up.

PIG DISGUSTING.

It hasn't really affected my social life since I never talk to people about it. Other than that, it did affect my life by giving me something to do. I was so fucking bored before I rediscovered anime/manga.

>>16781477
I live in las vegas the grass is certainly greener in California.

>>16781525
I feel for you, man.
I've seen those kinda girls.
They usually hang around those guys who talk about how many people them and there friends ganged up on.
Lol bragging about cheating in fights.

>>16781578

Fucking ouch, I used to live there. Jesus god I feel sorry for you....Except I remember it snowing a few years ago during Christmas, shit was creepy.

>>16781583

I've seen those types as well, but then again I never was troubled by them. I was pretty much a Ryuji, a scary looking delinquent type who was in fact nice.
