Waifu F.A.Q. Hello and welcome. In this document, I will attempt to clear up misconceptions behind the waifu concept for newcomers to /a/, and latecomers who have received misinformation. The purpose behind this guide isn't to force my own tastes down your throat, but to aid you in choosing the two dimensional partner best suited to you. If you've wanted to understand the concept more clearly, you've certainly come to the right place Question #1: what is this "waifu" thing/a/keeps talking about? Answer: A waifu is many things to many different people, but in essence, it is the embodiment of your ideal significant other. Many boards have their own waifu versions, but for the sake of simplicity I will speak assuming your waifu candidate is 2d and/a/ related. A waifu is that character that you simply cannot wait to see appear on screen and deliver their next enigmatic line. A waifu is the personification of that which makes you feel safe, secure, and confident. Question #2: Does a waifu have to be female? Answer: That's stupid, love doesn't have to be restricted by sex. Question #3: How can you love something fictional? You can't even have sex with it! Answer: No doubt, this statement will keep having itself repeated until the end of time, or at least 4chan. I must stress that you CAN love a concept. A concept is where love COMES from. You aren't ever in love with a PERSON, you're infatuated with your CONCEPT of them. Without the actual merging of consciousnesses, it is physically impossible to truly know and love a person. A waifu is nothing more than that concept rendered intangible. Yes, you cannot have sex with her. However, does a lack of sex mean a lack of love? Certainly not. Or at least, it shouldn't if you have a healthy value system. It's enough for you to feel the love, you need not feel their person. I suppose it's similar to religious faith in that regard Still, everyone needs an external stimulus to give them strength. Humans aren't born to be alone Question #4: Okay I guess that makes sense. But how do I choose one? what's the best way to find out who is right for me? Answer: Just start plowing through as many anime, visual novels, and manga as possible. Believe me, you'll know when you've encountered that character. If nothing else, base intuition is your best friend here. I'm not your personal Dr. Love, so that's as specific as advice can get. Question #5: Cool, so I have a waifu now what? Answer: Live life the way you think would make your waifu happy. You'll know you found the right waifu if you unconsciously begin judging your actions according to both your and her moral standards. You're not working towards a goal or anything, just enjoy her and yourself. Collect fanart, figurines, posters, or whatever you enjoy seeing of her Question #6: So, I posted her in a waifu thread on /a/, and they said i have s--- taste! what gives? Answer: No one can judge what or whom you should love. If nothing else, simply refrain from posting her unless you wish to invite abuse. It might also be best to examine /a/'s statements, for when they're not trolling, there's usually a shred of knowledge somewhere in their words. Question #7: Any other tips? Answer: Uhhh.... Well, it's generally safer to pick from a series that has already finished, so you have a complete grasp of her character. If at all possible, try to have one picture or figure of her somewhere in your living quarters. Unconscious moral reinforcement, you know. Also, it reinforces the bond you wish to cultivate Happy choosing!
