ReplyDeleteSo, there is hope for us!!!!!
ReplyDeleteresult no.1 : really?
ReplyDeleteGreat More reasons to hate westernized women.
ReplyDeleteI get 1-17 and 20, not quite sure about 18 and 19, for 18, the variety of topic of conversation isn't too much, just that when you find a topic that he can talk about, he will go deep
ReplyDeletefor 19, my preference of dress is to be comfortable when I have it on me, while not too hard to put it on, and not too hard to maintain(washing, etc)
I'm an idol otaku, lol. Mainly for AKB48.
ReplyDeleteYeah! There's hope for me!
ReplyDelete....anyone else think this list is BULLSHIT?!
ReplyDelete4. But on figures
ReplyDelete5. Everyone is
8. Many "series"
Why does it feel like "Hahaha finally a guy that will love me forever and sending his money without me giving **** to him!"
Where are these women? We need links!
ReplyDeleteI like to date otaku guys because you can actually have conversations with them. Just becareful not to get an otaku overly attached to his family. It's why I am not married; literally leaving the basement and moving out on his own was to scary. I really with that was a bad joke.
ReplyDeleteI am a tokusatsu and J-pop Otaku. However, I am not into collecting stuffs because they are expensive to collect...
ReplyDeleteI would love to find a guy that's into just as much anime as me, our conversation could go on forever =). Plus if guys really existed with that list that would be perfect
ReplyDeleteI'm a Tokusatsu Otaku. My dorm is filling up with Power Ranger stuff since that's all I can afford XD But this is the same with female Otaku's too!
ReplyDeleteToku and Retrogaming. I would never get in a relationship though. Granted, I haven't finished puberty, so that might change, but I doubt it. The time spent relationshiping will mean less time with my nerd stuff though. :O
ReplyDelete"7. Not desperate for female attention"
ReplyDelete- Actually, I think some are. I mean it's just that it's not that obvious, I guess.
