Kai, I am also a HUGE Star Wars fan [originals], I guess it depends on what kind of fan you are.... ahhh MOST other Star Wars fans I run into are as you describe, social losers BUT they are nowhere NEAR as creepy as otaku. At least they are into something that doesn't involve little girls in revealing poses or women on throw pillows. I highly recommend everyone go to an Anime Con to see what I'm talking about. These are the fat bastards with spaghetti stained T-Shirts that will never come within 20 feet of a pussy or super nerds that make up the greater 'white knight clan'.
Thinking back, yeah you're right... approaching nerds is probably the wrong thing to do, I'm not sure why I was expecting a different class of person. The new 'nerd' is a total fuckin loser. I guess the celebrity status of being a foreigner in China has sort of gone to my head.
I often forget that the kind of guy it takes to get these women interested is not the 'nerd' personality. I love magic and gaming but I would never want a chick that was into those things, to me they are guy's hobbies ONLY. I remember at this one con in Guangzhou all the women were surrounding my wife and I when I posed with the cosplayers (I was just in regular gear and screwing around) and there were all these weird ass guys trying to take pics of the women we were with. I had loads of girls ask if I was single. I'm not an Anime fan myself but my wife is nuts for the ultra feminine stuff like this. She gets dressed up in all the clothes and watches cartoons pretty much all day long (even at her job). She watches Anime porno but thinks that male anime fans are weird/creepy/losers... hah, maybe my wife is also a social loser. If you were to change her into an American she'd be a shy, 300 pounder that dresses in sh1t she can't fit into, thank god for Chinese genes. She's never had a boyfriend and in a crowded room she's the girl in the corner with anime playing on her phone. I guess I harp on China alot but if you want a nerd girl, that actually looks and acts like an anime character then there is simply no better place to get one.
In the West, if you choose a girl that likes your hobbies you are looking at a warpig wife. The kinds that have strong opinions about gender dynamics in Sci-Fi's and sh1t like that. These are women who tell their husbands what to think, how to dress and who to vote for... Exactly like the guys from Renaissance fairs, guys who walk around in full battle gear but act like pussies in-front of their wives/girlfriends.
I had 2 friends who were otakus and both of their Chinese girlfriends were ball busting cunt bags that would tell them how to act, how not to cross them and what they were doing. The guys were always pretty envious of my wife, who acts like one of the chicks from their fandom, she is quiet, shy and wears the gothic lolita/cosplay type of stuff around town. The guys are generally awkward as hell, and cup their mouth everytime I say something 'non-pc' or if they do say something like 'bitch', they look around to see if any women are in earshot first. So yeah, I dunno what I was thinking... I guess I'm an anomaly in the matrix.
Lets get some pictures up of those guys eh... they make for hilarious commentary.
