Based on these results, it think it&#8217;s safe to say the summer season\u00a0received\u00a0a somewhat negative reception from our readers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">As many of you have already seen, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectharuhi.net\/?p=6226\" target=\"_blank\">my room is decked out<\/a> in all manner of otaku merchandise. Upon seeing those photos, one of my friends remarked, &#8220;Now that&#8217;s the kind of room\u00a0guaranteed\u00a0to repel girls. If she doesn&#8217;t turn tail and run after seeing that, she&#8217;s a keeper!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">That got me thinking. Are girls really turned off by such overt displays of nerdiness, as my friend claimed? The dream of any otaku (or any nerd, for that matter) is to find a significant other who shares their interests. I&#8217;m sure we&#8217;ve all fantasized about that perfect girl or guy who&#8217;s both cute and into <em>K-ON!<\/em>. The question is, can we turn that fantasy into reality? Is it really viable to meet an anime girlfriend or boyfriend? What would be the best method for finding otaku romance? Or are we all doomed to spend our lives alone, crying ourselves to sleep every night while hugging our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amiami.jp\/shop\/?set=english&amp;vgForm=ProductInfo&amp;sku=CGD2-01701&amp;template=default\/product\/e_display.html\" target=\"_blank\">catgirl body pillows<\/a>?
