With that being said, I think BE is on to something. I'm sorry, but most people that like anime are either fat slobs, or pimple faced geeks. It's true. Go to a con and see for yourself. The percentage of unattractive people is higher at an anime con then it is compared to the percentage of unattractive people in general. I would not hang out with 95% of anime fans. Call me stuck up or whatever, but I'm not hanging out with total dorks.
All of the good looking/normal/socially skilled ones are closet fans like the girlfriend and I... it's one thing to like anime, secretly... and a whole different thing to eat, drink, breathe and shit anime, and wishing your life -was- an anime.
