Whenever I met a girl that I like, we became really close buddies, till one day I decided to be honest and told her my hobbies: collecting robots/ vehicles/and very few anime girls (figma toys). The next day they pretended they dont even see me!

An otaku is a person who loves Japanese anime/manga and they tend to collect figures/ toys that relates to that particular manga they love.

A hentai is a person who is basically pervert. Fetish.

Hentai n Otaku not only doesnt sound the same, but they dont even share the same meaning too!! I dun really see why the girls only stay away and pretended i am invisible right after I decided to tell them this...

or am I fated to only date female otaku as well??

I admit i am more of a Transformer fan, so yea, about 80% of my collections are transformers...lol.
But dunno why even after explaining to them they still think of me as pervert or something...

Well, I like teen-cartoons/ animes like um...Marvel Xmen, Xfactor, Superman...not those Doraemon or Hello Kitty or u know...cute characters...(although they were my fav when I was a kid)

As for collecting toys...hm...compared to my frens who would be willing to spend rm600 for an Iron Man or RM 500 for a Transformer, I spend like RM60-100 per month on a Transformer ...as a way to relax my stress....when u are working, no matter where u work, stress is there.

Some ppl handle their stress by smoking, some buy handbags, etc. For me, I choose buying Transformers, not only u will need some IQ to think how to transform those fellas, but u also need quite some memory to memorize the steps to transform these little buggers!! Transformers these days are definitely not for kids, lol!! They are FRAGILE and FRIGGIN COMPLICATED! Toys during my childhood were friggin simple (like a rubber sword or a gun that shoots rubber darts/fire crackers as ammo)

mebbe its my luck I dun associate much with ppl, i wake up at 6am, go work at 7am, get back home around 10pm, play some online games or watch movie then sleep at 11pm-12am. Not much of a social life there.
In fact now thinking abt it, I dun even know where to begin looking...My colleagues are mostly malay or already in a relationship, and the ones that are single, thinks of me as hardcore otaku... =.=''

PS: I dun think of myself as an otaku, but it seems many girls think i am one...

nope. i hate stalkers. and i definitely wont be one of these losers! Please READ carefully my 1st post pls.
as I said, I can be best buddies with girls, its just after I told them of my hobby, they put a sign OTAKU on my forehead and avoids me. Otherwise, if i kept it a secret, they'll remain my fren.

Added on June 2, 2012, 12:25 pmI work 6 days a week normally, when that saturday is not working, im at home cleaning my house/ moping floors/ washing clothes...then on sunday I'd just sleep at home or go shopping for groceries. I do not hv the luxury of having a mate doing these chores for me. And before I realised, its nighttime and tomolo its time to go work again.

*kaizer3000 goes fishing*

One thing for sure i probably wont be changing my hobbies, but i can try controlling the urges to buy the toys...besides, nowdays even I apply the "buy 1 toy, sell 1 toy" policy. that way, i can buy as much as i want, and at the same time, it wont accumulate more in my room.

And fyi, I aint a douchebag. Lol. If i am one, girls wont even want to talk to me at all!

Anyway, toys aside. They're just my hobby, nothing more. That doesnt mean i dunno anything about recent events/ common interests/ etc. I dun think I need to explain what my extensions of my knowledge, and besides they are off topic.

From wad I hv read, it seems many of u guys still associates Otaku as a "Densha Otoko"/ "Crazy dude that lives in anime/cartoon world without any sense of reality". This is really sad. It is really biased and offensive to many ppl, wad about ppl that loves to collect shoes? or handbags? or teddy bears? or even hello kitties? wad do u call them then? Normal??

I started this topic is to explain to ppl that whenever a person shares with u a hobby, dun straight away judge and assume things...True, I admit i collect transformers. I dun lie. But that is also NOT the end of my story. Its like tell u "hi my name is XXX", and quickly u assumed "his name is XXX so he must be a XXX, XXX, XXX and XXX". We are not psychic or mind readers, let that person finish his story first, then ask questions like "do u hv any other hobbies?" I am more than happy to share wif u wad i know....and u might even be surprised.

Dont judge a book by its cover. Just becoz u think a person who loves anime/cartoon is childish, it doesnt mean its 100% true. I hv a fren (who is sadly single guy too) and he loves anime more than I do, but do u know how much he earns monthly? More than RM6k leh!! And his yearly bonus? Over RM9k!!! Thats becoz when he works at office, he really works real hard, and his programming skills are amazing!! Do u think the boss is so stupid to hire a childish fella to work in his company?

lol...dude u dun even know more and u dah start accusing me of things which i am not. i am actually laughing as i am typing ur reply now.

1. i dun think negatively of otaku, did i say comments like "i hate being otaku" or "i wanna quit collecting transformers n quit anime"? I started the topic ASKING why girls reject me as an otaku. Several times I was best friends with the girls and when I reveal to them my hobbies, they were turned off and pretended I dont exist anymore. Please read my 1st topic carefully before u reply.

2. If i am defensive about my interests, I wont even admit i collect things and watch anime, now would I?
I am only defensive becoz u seem to enjoy jumping into conclusions that I am starting an argument?? Whats wrong with u?? I hv been quietly reading comments and thinking "is it true or not" and wham, suddenly u accuse me this, accuse me that.

I wont blame u for ur way of thinking, just wanna add my 2 cents here...
ur way of assuming ALL of otakus are boring and unactractive is like assuming "every muslims are terrorists".
Yes, many ppl are otaku, but u didnt even gv them a chance and see their attractive part. Hobby is just an hobby. It doesnt define that person's behavior nor actions 100%. Its like religion, whether u are Christian or Muslim or Buddhist, we are still human with individuality (google the word "individuality" if u dunno the meaning)

ok, lets not talk otaku for a while...

say u and ur bf, now happily dating...suddenly u hv accident and ur face is scarred. Then ur bf said he wants to break up with u becoz ur face have a small scar. Wad will u do? Surgery? or find someone who will accept u ENTIRELY?

My point is, a hobby is just a small thing that defines the person. Politicians may be otaku, Celebrities may also be otaku, anyone can be otaku, but that doesnt stop them from running a company or in acting career or even governing a country...its like "ur scar if u hv accident story" above, a scar on ur face dun mean u are boring and unattractive, no?

Bottomline is, when u see an otaku in the future, get to know them better first, then decide if that person is really boring and unattractive. Dun just jump to conclusions like United States did when they declared "All Muslims are Terrorists". It can be very hurtful & offensive to many ppl.

if the girl which I can get along very well and can share n talk about anything with her is called "nerdy girl", so be it! I will seek myself a "nerdy girl" u speak of.

I mean, whats the point of finding a pretty girl but we both hv nothing in common to talk about, rite? Now, my real problem is finding this "nerdy girl"....mana bole cari leh......?

O.O''
i...er...dunno wad to say...but i am happy coz u found each other.

seems to me like u guys are forcing urselves to be with each other...more like business than love relationship...

u : i hate otaku guys. if u are one, i will no longer be ur gf, deal?
ur bf: i hate girls who go clubbing, if u are one, i will no longer be ur bf, deal?
both of u: ok, deal.

and this is how "partnership" was formed.

Added on June 17, 2012, 3:59 pmif u guys are truly in love, then u wont even care wad his hobbies are, and he too would not even care if u go clubbing or not. --that is the point of whole argument for 10 pages.
