It is probably harder for males to be fans of romantic anime than females, since society dictates that males must be macho and females must be wilting flowers. Then again, age, friends, family and location can oft change the amount of pressure on a particular person. As has been said before in reply to this topic.

Hi NightShade! You're right, the views of those around you greatly influence our own self-conciousness about anime.

P.S. Welcome to the org!

True but today's generation is getting less and less of that pressure because more people are saying F you to those people and do what they want.

Indeed, but there is still a pressure there. Especially amongst teenagers and those in their early twenties. Then again, a lot of the new pressure coming in is to be something radically different and punk...

Have you ever tried talking to someone you just met about anime only to get a blank stare or sarcastic response in return? The best you can hope for in that situation is for that person to have a genuine interest in what you're talking about, because finding another anime fan out of the blue is a rare thing indeed.
