So becoming a furry, which entails "an appreciation for anthropomorphic animal characters and artwork" has somehow caused you to put off women? I'm trying to understand your logic here...what does being a furry have to do with your inability to connect to someone romantically?

Ah, but my opinions still stand, gentlemen! Sad, it is not. Poster #2 would be correct normally. But I look and ask why relationships and such are so required? How can I be marked as a sad individual because I do generally normal things, like the two I mentioned, instead of looking for girls? What makes the quest for women put you on top of the spectrum of "super awesomeness"? Is it the basic human instinct to seek out and reproduce with the opposite gender that causes us to see the whole thing as something that is not "sad", but almost required in our society today? I see relationships and other activities (sports, music, whatever the fuck I said earlier) on the same level. As you see it as choosing between !!A!! and b, I see it as A and B, with no difference in the two. Choose between one action and the other. That is it.

And you! It makes quite alot of sense. I appreciated this artwork so much, that it appealed to me much more then real life women. That brings up a general dry and gray attitude towards them. A neutral feeling. That coupled with my distaste in pop culture (cell phones, mainstream music, celebrity shenanigans, etc) and persons who are emotionally and physically weak, just put the fucking icing on the cake. Those things mentioned have nothing to do with becoming furry, but might as well mention it.

The best part is, I am just another anonymous user here on the website. Disagreements shall take place and I will not be effected! Bring on the posts, the thread shall live for another day!

Poster #6 here, still bewildered.

I'm currently at a point in my life where I have little interest in relationships, also. I'm a young man living on his own for the first time in his life, and I don't see the need to tie myself down to any sort of relationship right now, either. I don't go "cruising for chicks" at parties, nor do I actively hit on women. (Except jokingly, I also have many female friends.) I also find appeal in furry characters. I think they're much more expressive, endearing, and fun to imagine about than their human counterparts.

However, it's just a hobby, a little thing I like to do with my spare time on the internet. Sure, furries may be appealing, but humans are what are real, and worth spending time with. Shunning interpersonal relationships because you fear they won't live up to your "furry" expectations is delusion, escapism, and a sign of weakness.

To be honest, it sounds to me like you're just a little upset by the fact that no romance has presented itself to you, so you're trying to appear "too mature for relationships." (Which is kind of an odd idea, I stopped thinking girls were icky in the third grade.) Frankly, that's kind of pathetic. There's a difference between not being interested in women (either for the moment or for good), and shunning them because they don't live up to your completely unrealistic expectations.

Actively seeking women is a waste of time and money if you have better things to do in life which most people do. You should never SEEK women, instead you should just live your life as normal and maybe you will bump into someone at an event/place of some kind while pursuing your hobby.

Maybe you like to read so you head to the library and bump into a girl. Maybe you like to dress in womens clothing so you bump into a girl in a store who is into that kind of thing. Maybe you like videogames and bump into a girl there. My point is...going to bars or other places where you have no real interest in being is a terrible place to find someone.

You should just pursue your hobbies and hope to bump into a girl with the same interests.

Nooooo shit, and I mean that in an agreeing way, not a sarcastic way. Good post.

One thing I admire about this thread is how it concentrates on facts and stays away from wild theorizing.

Day Late. Dollar Short. Same Person. End of story.

thats pretty weird i understand wanking off to cartoon drawn things but obsesing and falling in love with them is weird specially if it makes you hate woman you sure you are not gay?

Well this thread is...curios. Very curios...
Let's bring this up to the front, shall we? Let's see what the view is now. It is a bit of an older thread.
[to give this post purpose]:

At least he has succeeded in conveying his ideas in an intelligible way. Unlike the chicken scratch that you type.

I come back months later and this comes up from the grave? I am surprised, for I randomly visited the discussion board after months of doing things OTHER than visiting the discussion board.
>>23
Anyone who complains about someone using "big words" is obviously a mentally retarded individual. I have nothing more to say on this subject.

And to all else with the deserved negative criticism, you seemed to have taken the first post, skipped everything else, and slammed your faces on your keyboard to say how horrible i am lol. Let me clear things up again to prove my sanity.

SPOILER ALERT: IMPORTANT FACTS BELOW!! \/\/\/\/\/

Remember that I said that the cartoon show STARTED my furry what-nots. And how after that, events stacked up and slowly formed the views i have now. So really I am not, nor ever was, a cartoon/furry obsessed, lost from reality-wishes camp lazlo was real, possible closet homosexual, women hating individual. All have happened on DIFFERENT parts of my timeline. Of course when you smush everything together into on time (present day), I will look like I'm out of my mind!
Now if you will excuse me, I will go study my dictionary for the sole purpose of angering >>23

Oh, this NEEDED to be thredromanced.

This is such a gem. I'm reposting this on 4chan. Thank you, furry fandom.

After seeing the posts from:

I have come to the realization that I shouldn't even care about said opinions. When there are people dressing up in fursuits and proceeding to having sex in them, my temporary attachment to that cartoon doesn't seem so fucking outrageous. What is normal and what is not stemmed from various cultures. I looked back to the fact that in parts of the world, people fucking mutilate their bodies and believe what some consider ass backwards thoughts or morals. And you call them freaks as well.

I wish I stated my first post better, for I realize that it sounds much worse then it really is. I left out things that I will state somewhere below that would, in a way, "mend" my standing in this thread. But hell if I can convince anyone of that. I look at the posters above and see how they would say stuff like that. The problem is, this is all a story of how an attachment to a cartoon show started a furry appreciation. And how with my views on society combined with me not finding "true love" yet in a woman so far, have led to a negative view of women all together. You can sound as serious as you want, saying I am a freak, etc etc, but the problem is that this happened YEARS ago in a different circumstance and without my current knowledge of this fucking furry fandom and all else. It was a winter depression - induced attachment that I got over YEARS ago. I could say you aren't getting the message clearly, but I will tell you it was poor communications on my part, especially with my first post.

I can also admit that posting this online was a bad move on my part, but at least it has made me realize that when you boil down to it, it is just another opinion from an anonymous user on the internet. Another thing I found out was that the only thing "weird" about my story was the fact that I became attracted to some characters back in the day. I scan my stories myself, and everything else, like the whole deal on women, seem fine. What labels me as a freak is the ROOTS of my views now.

You are the prime example of what I stated above. You are so cocksure in your words, acting as if what you are saying is not just an opinion, but a bottom line true fact. You say things like "but one day you'll see what I mean" as if you were some kind of God damn internet sage. You assumed that right now, in this present day at this very moment, I am dreaming of anthromorphic foxes to fly me away to a fantasy land, free from oppressive blah blah fucking blah. But I don't. I am completly fucking rational today. I have no irrational bonds to fake characters or anything stupid like that, which was done years ago by my self. I'm sure some shall quote the statement "I am completly fucking rational today" and proclaim lulz due to what they think is a hypocritical statement.

There. Go forth and post on 4chan and make OVER 9000 jokes to it. Go ahead and label me as a fucking freak of nature. But remember these two facts:
1. This post has shed all the fucking light it could on the situation and in my defense, so things have now cleared up.
2. You are calling someone a freak, on a website based around pornographic pictures of anthropomorphic animals. Join the fucking freak party, cause you're part of it too.

Haha.  I actually had a very similar outlook to things in high school as the OP, just without the furry.  The most I was interested in with girls from about 8th grade until the year after I graduated was no strings attached sex because I wanted to avoid all the drama that I kept seeing with having a girlfriend.  None of it seemed worth it to me.

But then I met "the one", if you will.  Hot, smart, and not a raging nutcase like 90% of the female population of my school.  My view on things has changed in the last few years (most notable by the fact I'm no married).  I've found that the answer to it all is just to find someone who fits you. 

And believe me, op, no matter how misogynistic you are, there's a girl out there that is looking for exactly that.  Hell, there are girls out there who get off daydreaming about being ground up and served for dinner.  I think you can find someone who suits you. :)

No, you're not crazy.  You have finally reached a point of understanding.  Now go pwn some noobz!

life's not an episode of "happy family good time journey."

some people's point of view WON'T change. some people are happy being left alone, away from what they see as scum whose only goal in life is to make them unhappy. you're the reason that bitch ayn rand created objectivism. goddammit just stfu and leave people alone, we don't need any more sociopaths.

>>32

no, not everyone has "the one." "the one" certainly doesn't exist for me, or else she would've just killed herself at my request. My home is my fortress and no one is allowed inside. This is why I understood Cho completely. He wasn't crazy but everyone else was. JUST LEAVE THE GODDAMN INSANE GUY ALONE, AND DO NOT SPEAK OF HIM. HE DOES NOT WANT A PUSSY TO SCREW, HE JUST WANTS TO BE LEFT ALONE. MESS WITH HIM, YOU END UP HEARING THE GUN CLAPS. THEN YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO ACT SHOCKED WHEN IT HAPPENS. Fuck, if only there were a way to destroy the planet!

Since you're obviously the same guy:

If he would so totally not care and just wanted to be left alone he wouldn't post on a public discussion board. He'd just shut the fuck up so he doesn't have to listen to anyone so I assume you're wrong.

This is obviously a troll.

If by some horrible twist it's NOT.  That is the saddest thing i've ever heard.

I'm sure you'll cherish the memories of playing video games and jerking off to cartoon porn way more then others cherish the memories of falling in love, having sex with beautiful women (you don't need a relationship or drama to have sex with girls you know), and having an actual meaningful relationship.

Get over yourself. Look, I may not agree with them but it's up to people how they want to live their own lives. If they feel most happy spending their time alone and enjoying movies, videogames and other solo activities then so be it. It's not for you to decide what a "quality life" is.

To me, around people, 99% of my life is grief and stress. When i'm watching a movie or playing a game I can relax, enjoy myself and be happy. So I can certainly see where that guy is coming from even though I still choose to have some IRL friends to hang out with.

At the end of the day keep the judgemental nonsense to yourself. I'm tired of people trying to tell others how to live their life. This just leads to all kinds of unhappy people doing things they don't want to do and wasting their life just because some fatcat elitist fascists decided that "to be normal you have to get a normal job, pay your bills, find a opposite gender spouse, have sex, make kids, etc"
