Does anime change your view on relationships?

3.In accordance with the above, make sure to never appear particularly interested in romance or sex. The ideal is to make her chase you!

Which works better if you're teamcaptain, or rich, or both

4. However, be a good, careful listener. Pay close attention to what your romantic interest says about herself and her life situation
5. Everybody has issues, and your romantic interest will be no exception. Here is where the careful listening of No. 4 comes in. When the moment is right, take decisive (and informed!) action to help out your romantic interest. Be a hero with the mind of Batman and the heart of Superman. Make sure your intentions appear as pure as the driven snow
6. In accordance with 5, be prepared to make use of all of your spare time, resources, connections, and efforts to help your love interest. Don't lose sight of No. 1, but expand your context and vision here.

...and this my friends, is how you end up becoming a sucker

7. Join a club. Any club. The key is to expand your social circle. You're likely to find your love interest in some small, but well-organized, social circle.

ofcourse ANY club will do, the need to score outweighs doing any activity you normally wouldn't care 1% for

8. If a girl picks on you a lot, it is a 100% certitude that she likes you and are interested in you. (ex. Every tsundere known to man)

If that were true, I would have a real life harem by now
mixed by the way, men and women

So those are the romantic lessons I've seen conveyed by anime. How true to life do people here think they are?

As true to life as natural hair having all colors of the visual spectrum


Edit, and while borrowing from Anime Laws, here's law #39

Law of Inverse Attraction

Success at finding suitable mates is inversely proportionate to how desperately you want to be successful. The more you want, the less you get.

- First Corollary Unfortunately, this law seems to apply to Otaku in the real world...
