How can I meet a woman who likes Dragon Ball?

Post by Peach » Sat Jun 19, 2021 8:32 pm

29 year old male here and a College graduate with a master's degree. I like to think of myself as a pretty down to earth guy. Friendly, non-judgemental.

Unfortunately, i haven't really dated in a few years.

Was wondering how i can meet a woman who likes Dragon Ball? Or i guess, anime or nerd shit. Really just want to get to know someone who shares my interests or is willing to show an interest in stuff i like.

Take some cool pictures and download a dating app.

I'm a woman who likes Dragon Ball dating a woman who likes Dragon Ball and even I don't know how to find a girlfriend who likes Dragon Ball.

My advice is to not looking for a girlfriend who likes Dragon Ball. Look for a partner who has the qualities of character you like in a person and go from there. If there is a pre-established like for Dragon Ball then work from there. If they are not familiar with Dragon Ball and are open to checking it out work from there. If they don't have an interest in it don't force the issue, it's just one interest and hobby.

I suggest just socializing in general and building a platonic bond first. If dating apps are your thing then try those, too. I met my girlfriend on a message board when I was a wee little girl. We were friends, then enemies, then friends and now gay-ass bitches who talk on the phone 2-4 hours a week. 😆

Nothing turns a woman on more than a man who isn't pushy, listens to her concerns and thoughts and has a personality outside of their hobbies. Don't just expect to go into a relationship without being willing to do some work on yourself, too.

Most women tend not to watch shonen anime unless they grew up with it when they were kids. There are of course a lot of female Dragon Ball fans out there, but I would imagine the vast majority of fans are male.

I'd personally watch some shoujo and jousei. Hell, read books by women--fiction and non-fiction--and learn about our experiences. Just don't be a manipulative asshole. Sincerely emphasize.

Forget it mate, DB is an old school anime (mostly for boys) from the time when being a nerd/otaku wasn't "cool" like it is today. I know from experience, i'm 30 and grew up with Dragon Ball.

Get some hobbies like martial arts or bodybuilding...drawing even. You'll get some real baddies with that 'Dragon Ball' swagger. :thumbup:

Have the Goku mindset.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

Fandom has been pioneered and built by woman. We're the progenitors of organized fandom and forums for discussion. This naturally does spill over into Dragon Ball.

Female Dragon Ball fans do exist it's just that like in many fandoms we have to carve out separate spaces because toxic men make us feel unwelcomed and uncomfortable.

From what I can tell most female fans these days are into "newer" shonen anime like Naruto, My Hero Academia etc. than Dragon Ball. Besides that I'd recommend getting into Sailor Moon as that has a ton of female fans in the west, you can look at the Sailor Moon reddit and fansites for that.

No, but you can go join some anime-based social media stuff, I guess, like a Discord server or a Facebook group or something like that, or you can directly try a dating app and look for people who share your interests. After a while you'll probably get a connection with someone. Basically, just put yourself out there, be outgoing, go searching. There really are plenty of fish in the sea, you just have to use the right fishing pole in the right part of the ocean.

Once the pandemic is over, you can try going to a convention.

Personally I dislike going to nerd gatherings for other reasons, but if you're looking to meet someone whose interest is nerd stuff that's probably your best bet.

I think it’s less about finding someone who loves DB and would be more about finding someone who you can connect to in other ways. There are tons of people out there that like DB, unless you happen to find Terez 2.0 you probably won’t get far, which is fine. I personally think you shouldn’t be looking for that specifically in someone, it will make it incredibly difficult to find. But finding someone who likes anime in general is easier. Be yourself, download an app, meet people, communicate 👍

Surprisingly or not so surprisingly depending on your POV, there are many women who are into Dragon Ball. DB is a remarkably popular franchise worldwide. Since you're not much younger than myself, I know for sure our age group is one that was heavily influenced by DB. The other thing is most people have only engaged on a surface level with the show, so you'll likely easily find someone who knows the characters and big moments, but the chances of having a discussion like we have here on the forums probably aren't that high. But that's a start at least.

I think it's best to just focus on finding someone who genuinely cares about you and someone you genuinely care about, basically someone you want to see everyday. If they aren't into DB then it probably shouldn't be a deal breaker. JulieYBM and goku is a krump dancer gave some fantastic advice. What I'd add to what they said, is you can put your passions and love of anime/DBZ in your dating bio. You can always ask your date if they are into Dragon Ball or anime in general as a point of conversation and common interest. There's a ton of women into anime or other nerd shit and even more who like the art and cosplay from various shows.
Big fan of the characters of Dragon Ball, all of them, especially formerly prominent sub-characters. -__-

While I know you mean well OP, the best advice anyone can give on this is to focus on meeting someone loyal, loving and caring, and then focus on what they like, etc.

You could have a girlfriend who is really into Dragon Ball, but mightn't be with you for the right reasons, which wouldn't be good either. It may be better to go on a few dates with girls you meet from different places and different means, some will work out, others won't but then at least you know whether to take it further before getting to know what they are interested in.

By meeting several girls you can get to know them to see if they tick all the boxes for personality, and then if you feel things are going smooth, and it feels like someone you could have a loving relationship with ask them if they like Dragon Ball. If not, there would be no harm in recommending it and watching it with them, especially if you meet a girl into other anime and nerdy stuff who may be willing to give it a chance.
Do you have any info about international non-English broadcasts about the Dragon Ball anime or manga translations/editions? Please message me. Researching for a future book with Dragon Ball scholar Derek Padula :thumbup:

Just find a girl you click with period. Superficial TV interests are immaterial.

I think shooting for a girl who likes anime in general is probably a safer bet than shooting for someone who likes a specific show. As much as I would love to use Lawrence's lines from Spice & Wolf on my prospective girlfriend - namely "I believe your charms may be too powerful", and "ARE YOU POSSESSED BY THE DEVIL?!??!?" - I'd be willing to sit down for an episode or two of Seven Deadly Sins. :P

Yeah I was gonna say this yesterday but didnt want to come across as trolling. Either way there's more to life than just media.

Discord seems interesting for making friends. I'm just not sure about dating though, because long distance dating is a bit challenging. Facebook might be easier.

Yeah. It might be easier to find someone who just likes anime, or nerd stuff in general.

I saw a Great Saiyaman-Great Saiyawoman couples cosplay before at a convention. It was the sweetest thing.
