I never said that men wanted them as romantic interests, I only said that, due to the industry, it represented a more male-skewed representation of women and was therefore more likely to be idealistic.

Again, I said nothing about dating. I used a much broader term. For an example see how mothers in anime are portrayed. Very idealised there. And I think you're simplifying men's tastes talking about a 'submissive' and 'nice' girls. Mens' preference in women varies as significantly as womens' taste in men -- just because they're not the same type doesn't make them less idealised. I think you're trying to skew what I said off on a different tangent. The OP originally asked about why women in real life seemed to hate one another.

Same argument as above. Tastes vary and all that. And I think in my post I mentioned that because it is escapism men and women are idealised.
