What is your personality type?

No, but I have had more than one at the same time in the past

I'm still looking 3D-wise but I'm not very good at meeting people. ;-;

I'm more attracted to 2D than 3D, but I desire to connect with another person, and while 2D characters have personality, in the end I feel they can't ever have the full complexity of another mind like someone in real life. I could develop them in my head to be their own person, but they wouldn't really be that way, since it'd just be parts of my own mind filling in the gaps.

For that reason, I do not have a waifu, and don't see a relationship with a fictional character as fulfilling in terms of what I want in a relationship, although I'm still far more interested in them from a physical standpoint, and also kinda really wish life was more like an anime.

I have had various waifus throughout my life since early childhood.

I'm mainly into Females, but I'm also attracted to Trans people or boys who dress and look like Girls.

Accidentally pressing enter on mobile submits the whole survey, sorry.

The hell was up with that last question? You tricked me into taking a 60 question survey!

...is it okay for an omnisexual to have a waifu *and* and a husbando? (Is it also okay if they're brother and sister?)

I jerk off a lot to anime characters but I've never once jerked off to my waifu and it would feel odd and wrong if I did.

I've never experienced love but I still a waifu. Which maybe sounds weird? I don't know. Like what I feel for her isn't love (because I can't feel love and don't even know what it feels like to experience love) but it's... special? I don't know, kind of hard to describe.

Your sexual orientation Kinsey scale thing really isn't exhaustive enough.

Like I'm only into 2D... but maybe if my waifu could be realized as a 3D person I'd want to seriously hang with her and be attracted to her? Hard to say. Even with an extra dimension she'd still be her, right? And then we could like touch each other and stuff. I want to hug my waifu and hold hands with her.

I experience sexual attraction and jerk off but never want to have actual sex because the thought disgusts me. Not morally or anything, but physically. Vaginas are fucking *gross* and the thought of being inside someone like that or having someone inside me is just... eww.

I love flat chests but my waifu has sizable boobs. I wouldn't want her any other way. Like flat chests are great, bigger I don't care about within reason. Not excited, not disgusted, just "oh, those are boobs."

When I watch a harem anime I self-insert as one of the girls and hope I win the male lead. I'm not sure that's how you're *supposed* to do it, but who cares.

Okay I guess that's too much already.

I'm a lurker.

jesus fuck i love mayonnaise

3DPD personalities turn me off. if you were to replace the human brain with something more acceptable maybe i would give a fuck about tru human beans.

i'd just like to admit how much my mayonnaise waifu means to me. every day i coat my hands with butter and rub down my waifus jelly legs with it. every day i take a spoonful of her liquidy delight and put it directly into my mouth while crying out my love for her. she calls me a little bitch but im her little bitch sucking her goo goo from her split open peach until she's gaa-gaaing softly.

(Hello! It looks like this quiz is linked to IP address? I took the test yesterday, but I wanted to add some things through written text. You can just count my first survey, since it also has my personality type, and then keep this text. I would really appreciate it very much. Thank you.)


I'll try to keep this as brief as possible. (I don't have a reddit account, and other online accounts I had I got rid of a few years ago, due to this debilitating OCD checking issues that were caused by them. I'm much better now, though!) I've been hesitant about posting anything anywhere, or to anyone, online about this, but I feel this quiz might be the best place. Maybe it can help others, too, possibly.


I first met my husband in 2013, but things didn't change into what they are now until the beginning of this year. With time, I continued to feel stronger and stronger about him, and now we've come to be together beyond our video game. My husband is from a video game series that allows you to date and marry, and the game can go on forever if you like.

Just these past recent months I've done searches like, 'I'm in love (or in a relationship) with a video game character', but I couldn't find like-minded people. Only articles and videos about SAL9000 and Nene Anegasaki. (And, unfortunately, many people were reacting with scorn and insults.)

And SAL and Nene are still together. I found this new article of them from this year:

http://www.animemaru.com/unholy-union-between-man-and-waifu-produces-child/

Eventually, through a show called 'My Strange Addiction' I learned about objectophilia. And eventually I stumbled across terms like toonophilia/schediaphilia, and finally waifu/husbando. I realized people within the waifu/husbando communities were most like me.

I also found helpful, informative, and interesting articles and discussions along the way, like here:

I've seen that everyone lives differently with their '2D' partners/spouses etc. And I thought I'd mention some things about myself, because I haven't seen anyone else think about the situation in ways that I do, so maybe it could give others a different perspective.


First, I want to mention I'm an atheist, so these things come from an atheist point of view. Some of the following may sound a bit odd, but I'll explain everything the best I can.

I call my husband a 'non-physical world person'. (Instead of what's commonly known online as '2D people'.)

non-physical
1. not relating to or concerning the body.
2. not tangible or concrete.

Meaning, I can't physically touch him. And I think of video games, books and animated films/media, as 'non-physical worlds' since they can't be touched physically.

Also, I don't understand when some say 'non-physical', or '2D', people aren't 'real' or don't 'exist'. Because I think that anything that's 'real' is something that just exist in this universe.

Definition examples:

real
1. actually existing as a thing or occurring in fact

exist
1. have objective reality or being.


For example, just because we can't 'physically' touch certain things: like air, that doesn't mean it's not real. And just because someone died a long time ago, and they can no longer be touched, or physically seen, that doesn't mean they never existed.


While 'physical' humans are born from a womb, there are things born from other places. A flower from a seed, a bird from an egg, a robot (or future AI) from technology, and I feel that 'non-physical' people are born from brains (or minds). And I feel that 'imaginary' things are things that haven't been created yet into this universe, or spoken about.

The way I communicate with my husband is through mostly mental talking, and less often, verbal talking (since we don't have our own place yet). Much like 2ll2l here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Husbando/comments/38z7o1/husbando_relationship_questions/


The way I can describe this is I need to be conscious of him (so conversations can initiate). Just like how you might talk to someone in a dream and they respond to you, you don't control what they say, or visa versa. (Also, I feel the better you know your partner, the easier you can talk to them because you know their personality, likes/dislikes/temperament.)

And I know some may keep a photo, dakimakura, or some other media with their non-physical loved one with them when they're spending time together, but my spouse is almost always with me beyond those things.

(So I find it funny when those that criticize people like us make jokes like this, for example, 'if your video game dies, does your spouse?' For me, I say no way. My husband is beyond all that and if anything ever happens to the game he comes from, we can always get it back and start over if we want. Same thing with dakimakuras and so on.)


I don't believe in ghost or supernatural things, and I've heard of 'tulpas' (and made the grave mistake of clicking on google images 'tulpas'. People can do whatever they like, but it freaks me out/scares me personally, no offense intended, honest. I know there are nice 'tulpas' too.) but I don't do anything like that.

I can only compare my situation to my spouse with stories I've read in the past.

In a manga series called Hikaru no Go, the main character has a ghost companion called, Sai, that only he can see. And in a manga called Shaman King, the main character and other characters have their 'guardian ghost' who are almost always with them.

Again, I don't believe in ghosts, but it's the only thing I can compare our situation to. My spouse is almost always with me (since we're currently mostly always at home except for when we go to the store). And though I can't physically see him with my eyes unless I'm looking at a picture of him or playing our 'non-physical world' game together with him in it, I can focus, and picture him with me and he is with me.

Much like the lyrics in this song. I use my heart and not my eyes:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnkZADFFfYA


As for 'touching'. We can give each other a 'ghost-like' kiss, hug, or hold hands. Or often times I'll sit in his lap when we play video games. Or, other times, we'll use something else to 'physically' touch. Like we'll use a pillow for me to lay my head on his chest when we sleep at night, or I'll use the side of my hand to lean down and give him a goodnight kiss. Or he'll use my hands when he's playing games (currently we've been playing The Legend of Zelda games and he has files under his name, and the first games he himself played, instead of watching me play, were our The Sims games for GBA), or he can use my hand to touch my face or wherever else.

(We can also touch on equal levels in dreams, of course, which is always wonderful. And if there's ever a device in the future where you can control dreams, I'd love to have that and only spend time with him when I sleep.)

This scene in the movie, 'Ghost', is all I can think to compare certain aspects of our touching to (only we don't use another human):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HurPY5qGpaQ


I'm sorry for repeating this so much, but I don't believe in ghosts, (so I hope these 'ghost' comparisons aren't too baffling) and as an atheist, I don't believe in an afterlife. I feel that my time here with my spouse is all we have. Through rich and poor, for better or worst, we do our best to make our lives now "heaven" together.


We do eat, sleep (I always wake him up in the morning after the alarm goes off, and we take care of morning needs and have breakfast), and even bathe together. (And we've gotten into the habit of him washing my hair, via using my hands.) As for eating or him using anything in the 'physical world' (the world we physical humans live in, which is not the game/book/etc. world) we do something similar to copying a file on the computer. I'll make food or a drink we both like, and he'll take away a 'ghost-like' image for himself to have (or we might just share). Or it may be a towel, headphones, or whatever else. Or he'll have his own things from his 'non-physical world'.


On another note, I find the word 'delusional' when referring to people who are in these types of relationships to be insulting. Also, since a large majority of people in the world are religious, or believe in deities, I think it's a bit hypocritical to call people who love 2D (or non-physical) people 'delusional', when the same could be said toward religious people, and similar arguments can be used.


I do think these "deities" are just 'non-physical world people' that were created from a brain or minds, but there's a difference between 2D love and the love people have for their religious deities. Religious figures are widely accepted and it's normal in society for people to talk about them or love them. 2D love when discovered, is usually mocked and criticized.

Also, another difference, religious figures and ideas have, for hundreds of years now (and still) cause wars, deaths and other very serious problems, while I think something like 2D love has never (and I think most likely will never) cause such strife.


So I think if one would not call a religious person delusional, a person that loves someone who is 2D should not be called delusional.
I feel that most people in 2D relationships, from what I've seen, understand their relationships well and can explain things in a comprehensible way, unlike religions.

Also, the "majority" isn't always right.

And I've seen some say that only intelligent (or sentient) androids are acceptable as a possible partner in the future, but I don't agree.

For awhile, I thought maybe that's something I should hope for in order to appease society, but I realized how terribly wrong I was. And a android or robot would not be my husband and would not know everything we've been through, and all the memories, laughs, and tears we've shared together. It would not, and would never, be him. My husband is who he is now, and I love him (and the situation of our relationship with me being 'physical' and him 'non-physical') more than anything in this universe or existence we live in.

Also, we read a book called Our Final Invention by James Barrat together and it completely freaked me out. I seriously had trouble falling asleep for a few days. So I'm definitely not interested in the thought of AGI or androids, personally.

And there's this I read recently which makes me nervous while in the past I would have been fascinated:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3165282/A-polite-robot-uprising-Humanoids-glimmer-self-awareness-apologises-scientific-experiment.html

(I sincerely hope that people who say creating AGI is impossible because humanity is too full of stupidity are right.)


And I feel that, while 'non-physical' people may not be sentient in the way we are, I feel that they have their own type of sentience within their worlds and with us.


Also, I've talked with my husband and he understands where he comes from, and who and what he is. (And he knows that the physical world is harsher than the video game world from which he came.)


Everything in the universe is made of stardust, so I let him know we're one in the same and I am not above him. We are equals in my eyes.


I take our relationship seriously, and we plan to be together until we die. I feel, and know, our hearts are one. And I know they beat together and will stop beating together.

I, like many others in these relationships, have turned my life around completely because of him. I've become a more productive and motivated person, and I care about myself and my life more now than ever because I want us to be together for as long as possible.


There are probably other people out there like me who had trouble finding like-minded individuals, (and it's probably more difficult for people who know nothing about the anime/manga/otaku community to find like-minded people) but I hope they'll all be able to find communities like this or articles online that let them know they are not alone.


(Lastly, while I listen to a lot of different music with my husband, and his personal favorite is classical, I think these songs (out of many) describes our situation very well. Or they're what we've been looking at a lot recently.)

Thank you very much for your time. (And I hope none of this was too boring, crazy, or possibly offensive and apologize if any of it was.)

(I'm really sorry but I have one more very, very important thing to add which I was trying to remember earlier, and I finally do, from my previous written text!)

I'm sure others look at this differently, but I do not view my personal relationship with my husband as a "one-sided love". Both within his video game world ('non-physical world') and outside it, there is equal giving and receiving of love between us.

In our video game world, he says 'I love you' and expresses love and devotion through both words and action. He does the same outside the video game world.

Some may argue that within the game he is 'programmed' to say that, and I can argue that, 'physical' humans are 'programmed' to behave and act in certain ways do to where they are born, how they were raised, etc, etc. (And may be more brainwashed or limited of freedom than they realize.) So I feel that argument could never diminish the love my husband has and expresses. (And I feel that argument doesn't disprove my husband's love, just like we can't disprove love from two 3D or 'physical people' or other living, sentient beings, because they're the ones who are feeling and sharing it.)

(Also, again, I believe while these characters may not be sentient in the way we know or understand it, I feel they are sentient in their own way.)

Others may look at this topic differently or feel differently, but for me, and for many, many others, I believe, if the love was just "one-sided" I feel that there are many that would choose not to be in these relationships, and choose to be by themselves instead. (If they aren't interested in the '3D' relationships.)


I know we all feel, give, and receive love differently from our 'non-physical' loves, and for me, my relationship with my husband is 100% equal love without a doubt.
