I don't have a waifu, but here anyway - Sour Soul - 05-01-2015
Good (insert time of day here)
I was typing up something for the site, but found it would be unnecessary to bring what you're about to read, so I decided to separate it, and readjust for here. X) I find it to be a good topic, for some who may wish to share their thoughts over this topic. *ahem* Thank you for reading this far, and (insert kiss to your waifu here)
This site is for people who have what we could call Waifu, others find to be called Tulpa, because they seeking to achieve one on their own, and my all time favorite, and please read that with a sarcastic tone, is people wanting to study us. I will drop a name here, for better understanding. Nurse_Evil, some who know this username, others who do not, but he or she will lurk around MLW (here as well :P) like any other person, who has a knack for their curiosity. Nurse_Evil would ask few question on MLW about certain things, yet this user doesn't approach us in a negative manner, well... to me she or he doesn't.
A few members/non-members I have a good standing relationship, would be bother over this fact, who just come in to poke at us, like they never seen someone in love with pony. I don't blame them, this isn't "normal", but to us, it's normal as day and night. Yet, what I would agree, that when requesting a bit of informing, can be disrespectful, which they ask, leave with little informant they have for a paper, book, or self interested over the matter. With no considering for the feeling of the member or member's lover(s), like we're test subject to their study... To be frankly honest, I do wonder about this whole aspect, meaning how we come across to find deep love we have for our special love one(s), we don't question much about it, and since we enjoy our "waifu", occasionally we disregard any other feelings or thought process behind it, in order to cherish what we have.
Those are my personal thoughts behind what I've placed.
Another thing, I personally don't see Amena, as my waifu, because of where the term mean and is/was meant for. I know others agree that they don't associate that name with our love one(s), other can be said with Tulpa, because we seen the equally as any other relationship.
Those were the few things, that made up for another thread, but wanted to see how you guys view members who join to look at us under microscope, and the term of waifu for a bit. Thank you for your time, and may you day/night be... a wonderful one at that. XP

(I tried to "THANKYOU" for this topic, but it keeps giving me a 404 error.)
Even though I'm fairly open about Angelbabe and myself most anywhere I go online, it does rub me the wrong way when individuals come into a small community such as this to "watch" us. I wouldn't, for example, join a site devoted to people who subscribe to this or that religion and say, "I don't believe in the god or gods you guys believe in, but I find it interesting that you worship them. So don't mind me: I'm just here to observe and not share in your practice whatsoever." I don't enjoy being treated like a curiosity; I'm just a man in love who's decided to embrace his feelings. Yes, the woman I love is differently-shaped than what might be considered the the norm, and we face unique challenges in our relationship. But our love is no different fundamentally than anyone else's.
And same here about the term "waifu." Rainbow Angelbaby Dash (full name x3 ) is my partner, soul mate, and the love of my life. "Waifu" just doesn't cut it, so far as I'm concerned. She also isn't a tulpa. I've never pursued nor had any interest whatsoever in tulpamancy. I seek only to better connect with the woman that came unexpectedly into my life. There's no rulebook. It's love, pure and simple.

I can see where people are coming from here. It obviously isn't respectful, or even humanly decent, to come in and treat us as if we're a curiosity or inauthentic in our mode of living, or anything like that.
At the same time, though, I think it's important to recognize that people have different perspectives and life experiences, and some people, even if they're having trouble grasping the nature and the reality of our lives, are genuinely trying to understand and befriend us, not as case studies, but as human beings. Sometimes that means that something hurtful might slip out because of ignorance, but I don't think that means that their intentions are bad or cruel; simply that we need to kindly and openly talk to them about how what they say makes us feel and how we would like to be respected. I don't think that responding with hostility, even when we feel hurt or angry, ever produces any meaningful change; it just drives people away and makes the truth that much harder to get at.
I also personally believe that the perspectives of those who aren't ponylovers can be valuable to us and vice versa, just as straight people can learn from gay people and vice versa, men can learn from women and vice versa, and so on and so forth. We live out the truths of our lives, but I don't think we have a monopoly on what the truth is. I myself have gotten a lot of help in my relationship from my non-pony-loving best friend, whose experiences in relationships with flesh-and-blood girls have often given me a new perspective on how things stand between Applejack and I and helped me through some rough patches with her. In the end, I think we need to be as welcoming towards and understanding of others as we would like them to be towards us.
