Waifu FAQ

~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ Waifu F.A.Q. ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~ ~

Hello and welcome.  In this document, I will attempt to clear up misconceptions behind the waifu concept for newcomers to /hr/ and latecomers who have received misinformation.  The purpose behind this guide isn’t to force my own tastes down your throat, but to aid you in being chosen by the three-dimensional partner best suited for you.  If you’ve wanted to understand the concept more clearly, you’ve come to the right place.

Question #1: What is this “waifu” thing /hr/ keeps talking about?
Answer:  A waifu is many things to many different people, but in essence, she is the embodiment of your idea significant other.  Many boards have their own waifu versions, but for the sake of simplicity I will speak assuming your presumptive waifu is 3D and kpop related.  A waifu is that kqt who makes you feel the strongest of all feels.  For example, seeing her will give you warm, fuzzy, happy feels, while realizing that she’s across the world from you may being depressing, >tfwnokgf feels.

Question#2: Does a waifu have to be female?
Answer:  No, but on /hr/ it is considerate to post about your male waifu in male kpg.

Question #3:  How can you love someone you’ll never meet?  You can’t even have sex with her!
Answer:  No doubt, this statement will keep having itself repeated until the end of time, or at least 4chan.  I must stress that you CAN love a kqt you’ve never met.  Love is a concept, really.  You aren’t ever in love with a PERSON, you’re infatuated with your CONCEPT of them.  A waifu is simply that concept rendered in Korea.  Yes, you (in 99% of all possible universes) cannot have sex with her.  However, does a lack of sex mean a lack of love?  Certainly not.  Or at least, it shouldn’t if you have a healthy value system.  It’s enough for you to feel the love, you need not feel their person.  I suppose it’s similar to religious faith in that regard.  Still, everyone needs an external stimulus to give them strength.  Humans aren’t born to be alone.

Question #4:  Okay… I guess that makes sense, but how do I choose one?  What’s the best way to find out who is right for me?
Answer:  Whoa, hold on there, Skippy.  First of all, one does not choose one’s waifu.  One is given the honor of being personally chosen by Her.  Second of all, just start plowing through as many variety shows, music videos, and pictures as possible.  Believe me, you’ll know when you’ve been chosen.  If nothing else, base intuition is your best friend here.  I’m not your personal Dr. Love, so that’s as specific as advice can get.

Question #5:  Cool, so I have a waifu… now what?
Answer:  Live life the way you think would make your waifu happy.  You’ll know if you’ve been chosen if you subconsciously begin judging your actions according to both your and her standards, or if you feel like you should improve yourself for her.  You’re not working towards a goal or anything, just enjoy her and yourself.  Collect gifs, posters, limited print re-release deluxe edition albums, or whatever you enjoy seeing of her.

Question #6:  So, I posted her in kpg on /hr/, and they said I have shit taste!  What gives?
Answer:   No one can judge what or whom you should love.  If nothing else, s imply refrain from posting her unless you wish to invite abuse.  It might be best to examine /hr/’s strawpolled consensus, for when they’re not trolling, there’s usually a shred of knowledge somewhere in their words.

Question #7:  Any other tips?
Answer:  Uhhh…  Well, it’s generally considered best practice not to “force” your waifu or start waifu wars.  If at all possible, try to have a picture of her somewhere in your living quarters.  Subconscious moral reinforcement, you know.  Also, it reinforces the bond you wish to cultivate.

Happy getting chosen!
